Corner case: I downloaded a series as an anthology. Then I decided the author's other fanfics looked interesting and used the URL scraper to grab them. I didn't know the popup existed so I could change the update mode for existing fics to "skip" (though I'm unsure if that would've helped anyways).

The Calibre question_dialog() method used, if invoked with the 'show this dialog again' option remembers when you uncheck that... forever.

And Calibre's gui2.dialogs.message_box.MessageBox class that question_dialog() only implements Yes/No buttons. But it does use QDialogButtonBox, which (theoretically) has QDialogButtonBox.Yes/NoToAll

I'll look into it. Because I've bumped into that too, and PyQt doesn't feel quite as much like black magic as it once did to me.

Correct.

Assuming "(category name)" == "metadata entry" (eg, status, genre, category, characters, ships, etc, etc).

The [code] wrapper is very useful for showing whitespace and not triggering smileys etc.

I try to use the phrase "metadata entry" consistently. 'category' is already one of the entries, and metadata as an adjective only to avoid any discussion of data vs datum.
