What changed
Why
TVScraper can return actors in a database-dependent order. VDR-Suite previously truncated that list after twelve entries before persistence, so prominent actors such as John Travolta in Pulp Fiction could disappear from the recording person index even though TVScraper contained them.
The recording metadata handoff defines people as authoritative persistent search data. A UI-sized display limit must therefore not be applied at the provider-to-persistence boundary.
Impact
Recording enrichment can now preserve the provider cast for persistent person search. Frontends may still apply their own presentation limits without losing searchable metadata.
Validation
