Summary

You can now update your date of birth in settings, clear your Watchlist when you want a fresh start, and hide recommendations directly when they’re not for you. We also cleaned up a bunch of navigation and UI details: summary pages now have a better back button on mobile, secondary actions are easier to distinguish, watched indicators are more consistent across seasons and episodes, and Start Watching now uses the same WatchList foundation with sorting support. Discover also gets mode toggles in the filter sidebar, and auth/settings errors should now be more useful when you hit rate limits or account lock issues.
