Worth a look holds the Premiere proposals as well as the picks now, and ran
off the bottom with no way down. Each column scrolls on its own, following
the focus; the footer line stays in view.

Avatar: Fire and Ash (then Orbit Sci-Fi) and Spider-Man: Brand New Day
(then Orbit Action) are approved Premiere debuts, both keeping Premiere
eligibility; Mayday is not a theatrical premiere (Apple Original Film,
Apple TV, 4 September 2026) and goes to regular Orbit Action. Called films
are never proposed again and count towards that week's three. Only films
over the bar are proposed, so a week can show fewer than three. Nothing is
booked or listed: the approved debuts wait for the booking workflow.

The box's fuller collections read found TMDB franchise sets ('Godzilla
Collection') beside curated ones that share the word (The Criterion
Collection, The New Year Collection); those link nothing.

Evidence reader covers the last 12 months' films. The Chair weighs Orbit
Premiere candidates and shows at most three a week, view-only, apart from
its picks. No debut slots, windows or list changes on this line. Scoring
matches main (horror-comedy refinement included).

Paul, 5 November 2026, on Mum, I'm Alien Pregnant: context over category.
Horror with comedy (or body horror, gross-out, splatter) now goes to After
Dark, free of its era, and counts less on Orbit Horror and Sci-Fi. Four of
392 titles move (Buzzkill, Deathgasm 2, Bunker Heights, Mum, I'm Alien
Pregnant); the five regression samples hold or improve. Kotlin matches the
new Python reference on all 392 titles.

Paul's refined policy, 5 November 2026. Premiere is a curated premium film
channel. Recency, a major studio, an event-film description, trending lists
and viewer ratings are weighed into one priority; none is required. Format
(TV movie, documentary, under 75 minutes) and Orbit status (aired or booked:
no duplicate first run) are the only hard limits. Streaming originals are
weighed down by evidence (a streamer studio, a streaming list within weeks
of release), not excluded. Unread films are queued for the evidence reader,
which now reads the last 12 months' films (read only). At most three
proposals a week, apart from the picks. After the configurable window a
film joins its genre home, stays on Premiere if premium with no home, or is
held for review; never a forced home. ORBIT PREMIERE is its own What's On
label, apart from FIRST ON ORBIT. Booking from the Chair stays off
(PREMIERE_BOOKING_ACTIVE) until Paul approves.

Paul's policy, 5 November 2026. The Director's Chair makes two
recommendations: a genre home (Premiere is never one) and, for a film
never booked on Orbit that suits an event debut, a first run on Orbit
Premiere. 'Premiere, then <home>' puts it on Premiere's list with a debut
as a fixed slot on the first Friday or Saturday at 20:00 after Premiere's
committed plan (clear of Advent's doors), branded FIRST ON ORBIT. Four weeks
after the debut it leaves Premiere's list for its home's, for that
channel's future schedule. Nothing already booked changes.

Paul, 5 November 2026: a family-friendly or mainstream-rated horror-comedy
(Family genre, children's ratings, PG-13/12A/15) keeps its usual channels;
an unknown rating isn't held against it. 'Gore' joins After Dark's themes.
No placements change on the current 392 titles beyond Deathgasm 2 scoring
higher; samples hold; Kotlin matches the Python reference.

Pressing a pick opens its pop-up: place it on the suggested channel, change
to another channel the scoring allows (three at most, each with its reason),
or drop it. An ask offers its two channels or Drop. Placing adds the title
to that channel's own list as an accepted choice, so it joins at the next
top-up; nothing is booked and committed bookings never change. Every
decision is recorded, and decided titles make way for the next. A placed
film's playable copy is found when the pool is read.

Scores every mode in one pass with cached text vectors, keeps the report
on the box and refreshes it in the background each hour, and changes mode
when a chip is selected rather than focused. The library's collections are
curated lists (Trending, IMDB Top 250, streamers), so only '... Collection'
sets link franchises; broadcaster lists (BBC, Channel 4, ITV, Sky, BritBox)
count as verified British origin.

Saturday 21:00 from 21 November, first airings only, two a night while two are waiting, each episode its own booking,
pinned to Emby 8016753; whole Dragon Ball film before it on premiere nights, never cut. Fresh box-data replay; every
channel's fingerprint identical to 0.99.16.

Manual choices win, manual Off is kept distinct from the untouched default, nothing is saved and the setting is
untouched. Booking fingerprints identical to 0.99.15.

Plays one episode in Orbit's own player via MainActivity's orbit_play_test extra, in a separate non-exported activity;
books nothing, reports nothing to Emby, ends by itself. Booking fingerprints identical to 0.99.14.

Multi-part stories, verified from part markers and consecutive episodes only, are booked whole and back to back on
Paradox's weighted blocks; mixed decks keep each story as one card; no isolated later part is booked. Other channels
unchanged (fingerprints identical); committed bookings untouched.
