Bring back the ability to mark unaired or future episodes as watched for all users (Free & VIP)

In Trakt v2, users could mark episodes as watched even if their official release date was in the future. Since this functionality was removed in v3, it has caused significant friction for the entire community—both Free users and VIP subscribers alike.

Shows and movies frequently premiere early at film festivals, leak, or release on different dates across international regions and streaming platforms. Restricting watch status based on a single hardcoded release date prevents users from keeping an accurate, real-time viewing history.

Technically, this feature is still entirely functional under the hood: users can currently inspect the page elements in their browser and manually remove the disabled attribute to successfully mark an item as watched.

Tracking watched content is the core purpose of Trakt, not a luxury add-on. This functionality should be restored as a native, accessible option for all users (Free and VIP), rather than relying on browser workarounds.
