Episode Filter Duplication Fix

Problem Identified

The project shots page had duplicate episode filters:

• Header Filter: EpisodeDropdown component in ProjectShotsView.vue header
• Filter Bar: Episode filter popover in ShotBrowser.vue filter bar

This created a confusing user experience with two episode selectors that could get out of sync.

Solution Implemented

Removed the duplicate episode filter from ShotBrowser.vue:

• ✅ Removed episode filter popover from ShotBrowser filter bar
• ✅ Removed related imports (Popover, Command components)
• ✅ Removed unused state variables (selectedEpisode, episodes)
• ✅ Removed episode filtering logic from filteredShots computed
• ✅ Removed loadEpisodes function
• ✅ Cleaned up unused imports (Check, Film icons)

Architecture After Fix

Episode Selection Flow

1. ProjectShotsView.vue - Contains the main episode dropdown in header
2. Episode Selection - User selects episode from header dropdown
3. Props Passing - Selected episode ID passed to ShotBrowser via props
4. ShotBrowser.vue - Receives selectedEpisodeId prop and loads shots accordingly
5. API Filtering - Episode filtering happens at API level, not in frontend

Benefits

• Single Source of Truth: Only one episode selector
• Cleaner UI: Less cluttered filter bar
• Better UX: No confusion about which filter to use
• Consistent State: Episode selection managed at parent level
• URL Integration: Episode selection reflected in URL routing

Files Modified

frontend/src/components/shot/ShotBrowser.vue

Removed duplicate episode filter and related code:

• Removed episode filter popover from template
• Removed Popover and Command component imports
• Removed selectedEpisode and episodes reactive variables
• Removed episode filtering from filteredShots computed
• Removed loadEpisodes function
• Removed episodeService import
• Cleaned up unused icon imports

No Changes Needed

• ProjectShotsView.vue - Header episode dropdown remains unchanged
• EpisodeDropdown.vue - Component remains unchanged

Testing Instructions

1. Navigate to a project's shots page
2. Verify only one episode selector exists in the header
3. Verify the filter bar no longer has an episode filter
4. Test episode selection from header dropdown
5. Verify shots are filtered correctly based on selected episode
6. Test "All Episodes" option to see shots from all episodes
7. Verify URL updates correctly when switching episodes
8. Test that other filters (search, task status, column visibility) still work

Remaining Filter Bar Components

After removing the duplicate episode filter, the filter bar now contains:

• View Toggle: Grid/List/Table view switcher
• Search: Shot name and description search
• Detail Panel Toggle: Show/hide shot details panel
• Task Status Filter: Filter by task completion status (table view only)
• Column Visibility: Show/hide table columns (table view only)

This provides a cleaner, more focused filtering experience.
