Research direction

The report gives no source paths or test names. Reproduce on Android 12 with two profiles, one logged into MAL and one into Simkl, then trace where sidebar tracker items and per-profile tracker credentials are read during profile switching. Done means the sidebar lists only services logged in on the active profile, with each service using that profile's account. Check existing profile and tracker tests around account switching before changing state handling.

Description

bug
Steps to reproduce

Profile "Anime": logged in to MAL.
Profile "Movies": logged in to Simkl only.
Switch from "Anime" to "Movies".
MAL still appears in the sidebar. The reverse happens too: Simkl still appears on the Anime profile.

Expected behavior

The sidebar only shows trackers logged in on the active profile.
Each tracker uses the account belonging to the active profile, even if the same service (e.g. MAL) is logged in on multiple profiles.

Actual behavior

After switching profiles, the sidebar still shows the tracker (e.g. MAL) used on the previous profile, even though that tracker isn't logged in to the current profile. Trackers don't seem to follow the active profile's accounts.

Other details

This should act more like a fallback option, and I think it really makes the user experience better.
