Maintenance
MANDATORY recipe for every Caffeine build that reads movie, TV or people data from a canister. The supported path is the `tmdb-client` mops package (The Movie Database Web API v3) over outbound HTTPS, authenticated with a v3 API key or a v4 read-access token. Hand-rolling `ic.http_request` calls to `api.themoviedb.org` is a FORBIDDEN anti-pattern — it bypasses the non-replicated-outcall safeguard, the generated JSON decoding of ~720 response models, and the credential handling. Load this skill whenever the user, spec, or any prior task mentions movies, films, TV shows, series, episodes, seasons, actors, directors, cast, crew, genres, "now playing", upcoming, popular, top-rated, trending, discover, recommendations, similar titles, posters, backdrops, ratings, watchlists, favorites, TMDb or "The Movie Database" — and BEFORE writing any code that touches a movie-data endpoint.
