Episode notes: Official iQIYI edition: 30 episodes; legacy 48 not used
Metadata notes: Season 1 only. Do not combine announced sequel. Runtime and short-format classification still require corroboration. | EDITION REVIEW: iQIYI currently lists 30 episodes, with 18 min on its wiki, versus inherited original 48. Do not mix 18 min with the 48-episode count until the original cut is reconciled. | Current English-language iQIYI album explicitly lists 30 episodes and episode groups 1–24 / 25–30. This workbook now describes that edition; no equivalence to the older 48-episode figure is asserted. | Sample references: MyShows EP1 19 min and EP3 15 min; TVmaze EP5 20 min, EP25 and EP30 18 min. Current official edition has 30 episodes, not 48. Source: https://www.tvmaze.com/episodes/3291450/rosefinch-1x05-episode-5
