Summary

Follow-up to #2856. Three fixes flagged in post-merge review plus one related improvement.

Save-time apply (HIGH). Picking or changing the collection sort in the rule form now takes effect at save time. Previously the executor only pushed the order on cycles where newMedia.length > 0, so the UI could show a configured sort that didn't exist on Plex until membership happened to change.

Per-item resilience (MEDIUM). Plex reorderCollectionItems no longer aborts the entire move loop on a single failed move. Each moveCollectionItem is wrapped individually; failures are accumulated and surfaced in a single summary warning at the end.

No-op short-circuit (MEDIUM). Plex adapter reads current child IDs first and returns early if they already match the requested order — zero PUTs in the matching case (was 1 prefs PUT + N move PUTs).

Alphabetical tiebreaker for tied sorts. When airDate / rating / watchCount / deleteSoonest returns 0, the comparator now falls through to its own case 'title': branch (A→Z, direction-agnostic). Reuses the existing title-sort logic via recursion — no new helper. Affects every consumer of compareMediaItemsBySort, so Maintainerr's UI display and the Plex collection-sort push now order tied items the same way. Addresses #2856 (comment).

Status sorts (manual / excluded) intentionally skip the tiebreaker — their existing comment documents that they only partition.

Test plan

  • yarn workspace @maintainerr/server test --runInBand — 1160 tests pass (was 1151)
  • yarn workspace @maintainerr/ui test --run — 195 tests pass
  • yarn lint — 0 errors / 0 warnings
  • yarn format:check — clean
  • New sort-utils.spec.ts covers the comment scenario (G,H,S,X,A,C,Z) and asserts manual/excluded preserve partition
  • plex-adapter.service.spec.ts adds short-circuit and mid-loop-failure cases
  • rules.service.updateRules.spec.ts covers apply-on-enable and no-op-when-unchanged transitions

- Apply the collection sort immediately when a rule group is saved with
  a newly enabled or changed sort value, so users no longer see a
  configured sort that hasn't been pushed to Plex until a later add
  cycle. Previous behaviour gated the push on `newMedia.length > 0`,
  which left save-time changes unapplied indefinitely.

- Continue past per-item move failures in the Plex adapter
  reorderCollectionItems loop. A single rejected move no longer aborts
  subsequent moves; failures are accumulated and logged in a summary
  warning so the rest of the collection still gets ordered.

- Short-circuit the Plex reorder when the collection is already in the
  requested order. The adapter reads current child IDs first via
  PlexApiService.getCollectionChildren and returns early when they
  match `orderedItemIds`, skipping both the prefs PUT and every move
  PUT. The membership-changed gate in addToCollectionInternal is kept
  as a coarse pre-filter; the adapter check is the safety net.

- Reuse the existing `case 'title':` branch in compareMediaItemsBySort
  as a tiebreaker for airDate / rating / watchCount / deleteSoonest, so
  items sharing the same primary value fall back to alphabetical
  ordering. Status sorts (manual / excluded) intentionally skip the
  fallback to preserve their partition contract. Affects every
  consumer of the comparator (Maintainerr UI overview/library/
  collection display and the Plex collection-sort push) so on-disk
  Plex order matches what users see in Maintainerr for the same key.

Tests: new sort-utils.spec covering the timelordx tiebreaker scenario,
updated plex-adapter.service.spec for short-circuit and per-item
failure paths, and rules.service.updateRules.spec covering the
save-time apply transition.

* feat(storage-metrics): split potential reclaim into movie/show/season/episode panels (#2854)

* fix(collections): credit reclaimed bytes when sizeBytes is not yet cached (#2855)

* Feature/plex collection sort (#2856)

* feat: implement plex adapter collection sorting logic

* feat: apply collection sort orchestration in collections service

* feat: add collection items sort dropdown to rule form

* feat: complete UI and full stack implementation for collection sorting

* fix(collections): address review feedback for collection sort

- Generate proper TypeORM migration for mediaServerSort column
  (previous PR shipped the entity change without one — upgrades would
  fail on the missing column).
- Extend collection sort comparator for addDate and releaseDate; the
  UI offered seven sort options but four (addDate.{asc,desc},
  releaseDate.{asc,desc}) fell through to the default branch and
  silently preserved input order.
- Replace fake MediaServerCollectionSort union with a real template
  literal (\${CollectionMediaSortField}.\${MediaSortOrder}); add
  parseCollectionSortKey helper and remove \`as any\` casts.
- Add smart-collection guard before reorder (Plex rejects move on
  smart) and membership-changed gate so we only push order to Plex
  when newMedia.length > 0.
- Filter items with missing metadata before sorting; replace the
  \`mediaData!\` non-null assertion.
- Move MEDIA_SERVER_FEATURES + supportsFeature into contracts and gate
  the UI dropdown via supportsFeature(COLLECTION_SORT) so the feature
  becomes available automatically if Jellyfin ever gains a boxset
  reorder API.
- Add ICollection.mediaServerSort field; tighten zod-to-payload
  parsing in AddModal.
- Revert unrelated edits introduced by this PR (rules.service return
  values, scheduler defensive guards, cosmetic setContext changes).
- Tests: setCollectionCustomSort and moveCollectionItem URL shapes,
  PlexAdapter.reorderCollectionItems orchestration, JellyfinAdapter
  feature flag and reorder rejection.

* fix(metadata): align Jellyfin retry id check with pre-filter (#2853)

The metadata refresh retry path validated the verified id with
isBlankMediaServerId, while the pre-filter used shouldRefreshMetadataItemId.
When getMetadata returned an item with the Jellyfin empty GUID
(00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000), the asymmetric check let the
retry call refreshItemMetadata with that id, producing the
"Guid can't be empty" spam in Jellyfin's ProviderManager queue.

Use the same predicate in both places so foreign-shaped and empty-GUID
ids are rejected consistently before any refresh request is issued.

* Add Maintainerr architecture overview (#2817)
