### Tool changes

- 2026-10-01 `tv_concierge` changed (inputSchema)
- 2026-10-01 `tv_find_for_couple` changed (description, outputSchema)
  - before: Finds TV programs that satisfy two people with different moods/preferences. Default fairness=strict (min(scoreA,scoreB) >= threshold — no veto). Auto-falls-back to fairness=average if strict returns empty, marked with degraded:true. Returns per-person score breakdown + compromise note when one side wins by >1.5 points.
  - after: Finds TV programs that satisfy two people with different moods/preferences. Default fairness=strict (min(scoreA,scoreB) >= threshold — no veto). If strict returns nothing it falls back in two declared steps: first fairness=average at the SAME min_score; only if that is still empty is min_score halved. The response always carries requested_fairness, requested_min_score, the effective fairness / min_score, threshold_relaxed and degraded — tell the user when their threshold was relaxed. Returns per-person score breakdown + compromise note when one side wins by >1.5 points.
- 2026-10-01 `tv_tonight_card` changed (description)
  - before: The daily "what is worth watching tonight?" card: one main decision (importance-scored major event, or a deterministic prime-time film fallback) plus one pick per vertical — TV, streaming (official Netflix RO top 10), theater (online + stage union), cinema (box office ∩ today's real screenings) — and measured stats. Same data as the tv.madeinro.eu homepage hero, regenerated daily. In MCP Apps-capable hosts this renders as an interactive card (ui://rotv/tonight-card).
  - after: The daily "what is worth watching tonight?" card: one main decision (importance-scored major event, or a deterministic prime-time film fallback) plus one pick per vertical — TV, streaming (official Netflix RO top 10), theater (a stage performance happening TODAY, else an online play; a future date only when nothing is on tonight, labelled as the next performance), cinema (box office ∩ today's real screenings, else one of today's most-screened films) — and measured stats. Same data as the tv.madeinro.eu homepage hero, regenerated daily. In MCP Apps-capable hosts this renders as an interactive card (ui://rotv/tonight-card).
- 2026-10-01 `tv_important_today` changed (description)
  - before: What actually matters on Romanian TV today: World Cup / Euro / Champions League matches, finals, knockout games, national-team fixtures. Detected from real EPG text (titles + descriptions) with quoted evidence — the EPG has no structured event metadata, so detection is keyword-based and honest about it. Use this FIRST for questions like "what's important to watch today?".
  - after: What actually matters on Romanian TV today: World Cup / Euro / Champions League matches, finals, knockout games, national-team fixtures. Detected from real EPG text (titles + descriptions) with quoted evidence — the EPG has no structured event metadata, so detection is keyword-based and honest about it. Each event carries live_status (live / replay / unknown) with the evidence it was derived from; unknown means the EPG does not say whether the broadcast is live. Use this FIRST for questions like "what's important to watch today?".
- 2026-10-01 `tv_concierge` changed (description, outputSchema)
  - before: You have a window of free time — decide for me what to watch right now. Returns ONE primary decision (TV program OR streaming title) with confidence percentage, full reasoning breakdown, and up to 3 diverse alternatives with explicit trade-offs (pros/cons, reason not picked). Picks across live Romanian TV EPG AND streaming catalog (Netflix, HBO Max, Disney+, Prime Video, Apple TV+, SkyShowtime). Built-in anti-noise filter automatically removes news, political talk, reality shows, talk-shows (NO manual filtering needed by the model). Built-in title dedup (handles ~46% duplicate-airing ratio in TV EPG). Built-in opportunity-cost lookahead (flags better options just outside the window). Event-aware: major broadcasts (World Cup / Euro / Champions League / finals) get an importance boost in ranking AND are always listed in the important_today field, even when the mood-based pick is something else — for questions like "what is important today?", prefer tv_important_today. PREFER THIS TOOL over tv_recommend_by_mood and tv_recommend_today whenever the user wants ONE answer / a single decision — those tools return ranked LISTS for browsing, this tool returns a DECISION. It returns exactly ONE pick and leaves the rest of the window as a pause: when the user wants the whole window FILLED with several programmes in sequence ("plan my evening", "ce văd toată seara", "fă-mi un program pentru 20–24", a TV window of 3+ hours), use tv_plan_evening instead. Routes any mood internally (obosit / vesel / concentrat / romantic / familie / captivant + EN aliases tired/happy/focused/romantic/family/thrilling). Trigger phrases: "what should I do", "decide for me", "pick for me", "I have X hours", "ce să fac", "am 2 ore", "alege tu", "mood X durată Y", "o singură decizie", "fii consilierul meu", "what to watch", "concierge me".
  - after: You have a window of free time — decide for me what to watch right now. Returns ONE primary decision (TV program OR streaming title) with confidence percentage, plus best_by_source when both TV and streaming were considered (the best TV airing in the window next to the best catalog title — present both to the user when gap_pct is small, since streaming is available any time and TV only now), full reasoning breakdown, and up to 3 diverse alternatives with explicit trade-offs (pros/cons, reason not picked). Picks across live Romanian TV EPG AND streaming catalog (Netflix, HBO Max, Disney+, Prime Video, Apple TV+, SkyShowtime).

- 2026-10-01 `tv_plan_evening` changed (description) **meaning changed**
  - before: Builds a coherent TV watching plan for an evening — either one long program filling the budget or 2-3 segments with small gaps. Accepts start time, duration budget, mood, and channel preferences. Output: ordered timeline + alternatives dropped + totals.
  - after: Builds a TV watching plan that FILLS a window of time — either one long programme or 2-3 consecutive programmes with small gaps, ordered as a timeline. Use it when the user wants a schedule for the whole evening or a long window (3+ hours) rather than a single pick: "plan my evening", "ce văd toată seara", "fă-mi un program pentru 20–24". TV only (live Romanian EPG, no streaming titles); for ONE decision that may also be a streaming title, use tv_concierge. Accepts start time, duration budget, mood, and channel preferences. Output: ordered timeline + alternatives dropped + totals.
