+Choose **Miruro** at startup or use `--miruro` to start directly. Its interface is **catalog → series → episodes**, with a separate saved-show library organized by overlapping category tags, without YouTube's Search/Feed tabs or channel controls.
 
 Catalog autocomplete returns at most eight anime titles, without pagination. Titles show the available format, status, season/year and planned/listed episode counts; press `d` for the selected title's synopsis and other returned facts. The series screen lists only actual returned episodes—not planned or absolute episode numbers—with titles, dates and durations when supplied. Selected episode details appear first in the metadata popup, above the series synopsis. Listed counts do not guarantee that a supported Sun source is available.

+These actions reuse the existing `[keys]` configuration; live hints and help omit unsupported YouTube actions. Show saving/tagging uses `channel.tags`, and the library picker uses `category.browse`. From catalog results, a series screen, or the saved-show library, press `s` to edit the **show's** tags: `j` / `k` selects, Space checks/unchecks, `i` filters, and `n` enters a new tag name. Enter stages a new tag; Enter again from the tag list saves the show and all checked tags. Esc cancels without saving. A show can belong to multiple categories or remain saved without tags. The `c` picker starts in normal mode; `i` filters, Enter browses, and Esc leaves filtering before closing. Saved-show lists are alphabetical and stored offline; Enter fetches current episodes using the saved catalog ID and title. `x` removes only the show and its tags, leaving episode collections and watch status unchanged. Categories disappear when no saved shows use them. Miruro's show categories are independent of YouTube's channel tags.
+
+Space checks categories for combined browsing; Enter opens their deduplicated union even when the filter hides them. With no checks, Enter opens the hovered category or All saved shows.

 Stream and external VTT subtitle headers are supplied explicitly; Terebi selects the source's declared default subtitle. Sources requiring media redirects, cross-origin HLS, proxies, iframe playback, or provider-specific playlist rewriting fail explicitly. No provider/language fallback or automatic expired-source refresh is performed.

-Removal controls apply **only in watch-later, saved-video, and currently-watching views**, including previews opened from those lists.

+Episode removal controls apply **only in watch-later, saved-video, and currently-watching views**, including previews opened from those lists. The Miruro saved-show library additionally supports `x` to remove a show and its tags, without removing episodes or watch status. Search, Feed, Miruro catalog/episode browsing, ordinary YouTube channel/category views, and their previews do not expose removal actions or hints. Text fields and selectors retain their normal controls.
 
 `x` immediately removes only the selected video/episode from the active collection. `X` snapshots the current provider's visible list and opens bulk confirmation: YouTube watch later uses the current category and All/Unwatched/Watched filter, and saved videos uses the current category's entire saved list; Miruro uses its flat list and any active watch-later filter. Currently watching uses the current provider's entire list. An empty list does not open confirmation. Neither interface's removal controls touch the other provider's entries.
