```
Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with `beet mbsync` using the reported configuration, then compare its behavior with reimporting the affected albums. Trace the mbsync plugin's release lookup and determine why those release IDs are reported as missing; done means syncing completes without the repeated errors and matches reimport behavior.
