The two integrity checks currently fail on pre-existing data validation errors, not on this documentation-only change. This PR changes only README.md and docs/importbuddy-retired.md.

Examples from the run:

  • movie/Gremlins (1984)/2018-blu-ray/disc01.json: no titles present
  • existing summary files contain missing or non-range episode values

Run: https://github.com/TheDiscDb/data/actions/runs/31842846057
