Merge somebody's old account into their new one
When a person changed accounts their history is split across two, and a cleanup rule sees two half-people instead of one.
- Open the current account's card.
- Use ABSORB to fold the replaced account's history into it.
- Cleanup rules now name the person once.
What you see afterwards. The old account stops being a person. Its row disappears from People, and the account you kept gains a line saying whose history it took in — so the absorb is still on the record rather than simply gone. Watchlists shows one person instead of two, with each service once; where both accounts had a service, the working link wins over a broken or public one.
Suggestions become one list too. The old account's suggestion history moves with it. Where a title was suggested to both accounts, the person's own answer (accepted, rejected or dismissed) wins over Kustos's. A title on their Trakt list that is now answered no comes off the list on the next push.
If the account you absorbed was the admin's, the owner mark moves with the person: it lands on the account you actually use, not the retired one, and the admin still sorts first. This matters because the account that claimed Kustos is often not the account the owner watches under any more, and before this the owner's own card read as an ordinary user.
An admin absorb is not an ordinary one. It deliberately keeps the Plex token, the MDBList key and the Seerr options, because those belong to the install rather than to the retired account. An ordinary absorb clears them.
An account can only be absorbed by one person, so this cannot silently double-count.
Leftovers. If the retired account still holds something of its own — a Plex token, a Trakt link — its chip says so and offers to tidy it. Nothing is cleared behind your back, and the tooltip names what would go before you press it.
