- scraper/metadata/release-dates.js fills x-dates.release from MangaUpdates
publisher releases. MangaUpdates also lists English back-catalog re-releases,
so a date is kept only inside the AniList original run, when no scanlation or
source upload is more than 4 days earlier, and when it fits the release order
(no lower chapter dated after a higher one). Seasons that restart chapter
numbers are skipped; dates this job wrote and no longer accepts are withdrawn.
- The scraper refreshes ongoing series nightly before its update checks, only
while no download runs, and bumps the publish revision so the reader reconciles.
- tools/release-dates.js for a whole library (dry run default). Production dry
run: 728 chapters dated (Kagurabachi, JJK, Chainsaw Man, One Piece from 928).
- Peer sync: chapters this library already has adopt a peer's earlier ecosystem
date (job result ecosystemLowered); the peer listing now carries dates.
