chore: scrub copyrighted names from tests, comments and docs

Real franchise / show / release-group names had crept back into test
fixtures, code comments, a docstring and docs/mediacenter.md while fixing
the saga-match and misclassification bugs. Replace them all with invented
placeholders ("Some Saga", "A Different Show") and shape descriptions
("a franchise-origin film", "a 3-season show"). Behaviour and assertions
unchanged; 738 node tests still pass.

Record the rule in CLAUDE.md so it stops recurring.

 ## new rules, from now
 Documents and demo/comments are written in english unless requested in french.
 
+No copyrighted names. Never put real brand names, trademarks, artist names, or
+copyrighted titles (film titles, show titles, song/artist names, character
+names, release-group handles) into code, comments, docstrings, test fixtures,
+documentation, or commit messages — even when the bug being fixed or documented
+was genuinely found against real content with real names. Describe the *shape*
+instead ("a franchise-origin film", "a two-part saga", "a 3-season show") and
+use invented placeholders in fixtures ("Some Saga", "A Different Show"). This
+holds for every file, including throwaway test data and one-line commit
+subjects.
