 # Changelog
 
+## 0.32.1 - 2026-05-17
+
+- Suppressed stdout request logging for routine polling endpoints such as `/api/queue` and `/api/watchlist/refresh-status`, reducing noisy access-log spam during normal browser use.
+
 ## 0.32.0 - 2026-05-17
 
 - Changed bulk `Refresh All` processing to pace requests with a configurable delay between shows, reducing the chance of flooding upstream episode sources on large watchlists.

@@ -159,6 +159,7 @@ The app currently includes:
 - Background `Refresh All` execution with status polling, no inline thumbnail downloads during the bulk job, and a configurable delay between shows to reduce upstream request bursts.
 - Optional scheduled background watchlist refreshes with Config page controls for enable/disable and refresh period.
 - Scheduled background refresh runs now log queue, start, and completion status to stdout so container logs show whether they finished successfully, with errors, or failed.
+- Routine browser polling endpoints such as the search-page queue poll and watchlist refresh-status poll now stay quiet in stdout request logs to reduce log spam.
 - Search and Watchlist polling now use a shared serial browser polling helper so slow responses do not cause overlapping poll requests to pile up in the background.
 - That shared browser polling helper now also tears itself down on page unload and uses chained `setTimeout` scheduling instead of a bare repeating interval.
 - Controlled shutdown and runtime reset now cancel active download workers when waiting for teardown, reducing the chance of orphaned background downloads outliving the web process.
