The update flow:
1. **Title detection** -- SubMiner extracts the anime title, season, and episode number from the media filename and path. Season folders such as `Season 2` are treated as a strong season signal. SubMiner tries [`guessit`](https://github.com/guessit-io/guessit) first for accurate parsing, then falls back to an internal filename parser if guessit is unavailable.
2. **AniList search** -- The detected title is searched against the AniList GraphQL API. For season 2 and later files, SubMiner searches the season-specific title first, then falls back to the base title. SubMiner picks the best match by comparing titles (romaji, English, native) and filtering by episode count.
2. **AniList search** -- The base title (with any `Season N` / `SN` marker stripped) is searched against the AniList GraphQL API, and SubMiner picks the best match by comparing titles (romaji, English, native, synonyms) and filtering by episode count. AniList has no notion of numbered seasons -- sequels are separate entries with their own titles (`Zoku`, `Kan`, `2nd Season`), so searching `<title> Season 3` finds nothing. For season 2 and later, SubMiner instead walks `SEQUEL` relations from the season 1 entry, preferring the TV line, and falls back to ordering the franchise's TV entries by air date when the relation chain is incomplete. If neither locates the season, SubMiner **skips the update** rather than writing progress to the season 1 entry, and tells you to pin the right entry with a [character dictionary override](/character-dictionary#correcting-anilist-matches).
3. **Progress check** -- SubMiner fetches your current list entry for the matched media. The media must already be in Planning or Watching; otherwise SubMiner shows an MPV message explaining that the update is not possible. If your recorded progress already meets or exceeds the detected episode, the update is skipped.
4. **Mutation** -- A `SaveMediaListEntry` mutation sets the new progress and marks the entry as `CURRENT`, or `COMPLETED` when the watched episode is the final episode of the season (the "already at this progress" skip is bypassed for the final episode so completion still lands).

There is no `characterDictionary.enabled` key: character dictionary sync is enabled by `subtitleStyle.nameMatchEnabled`. See the [Character Dictionary](/character-dictionary) page for full details on the character dictionary feature, including name generation, matching, auto-sync lifecycle, and dictionary entry format.

SubMiner stores manual selections in `character-dictionaries/anilist-overrides.json`. The episode's parent directory defines the override scope, so later episodes in the same season directory keep the selected AniList ID even if their filename guesses differ. Separate season directories can keep separate overrides and character dictionaries. When you replace a wrong match, SubMiner removes that stale media ID from the merged dictionary's active set and rebuilds/imports the merged character dictionary.
SubMiner stores manual selections in `character-dictionaries/anilist-overrides.json`. The episode's parent directory **and detected season** define the override scope, so later episodes in the same season keep the selected AniList ID even if their filename guesses differ, while a different season never inherits the override -- including when every season sits in one flat folder. When you replace a wrong match, SubMiner removes that stale media ID from the merged dictionary's active set and rebuilds/imports the merged character dictionary.
An override also pins the entry used for [AniList watch progress](/anilist-integration), so correcting a wrong match once fixes both the character dictionary and progress tracking.
