The televised broadcast and streaming release of "The First Kiss That Never Ends" is divided into 4 episodes. So it would be correct to list it as extra season with 4 Episodes not as a separate movie.
Especially since there is not a single other release out there that treats "The First Kiss That Never Ends" as a single episode, but rather as 4 individual episodes, apart from the theatrical release.
Just because a series of episodes is shown in the cinema as one episode, they should not be treated as a movie.
Even Chruncyroll treats it as a separate Season (S25: Kaguya-sama: Love Is War -The First Kiss That Never Ends-) instead of a single movie. https://www.crunchyroll.com/series/GRJ0J828Y/kaguya-sama-love-is-war
In this wiki article you will find the episodes presented correctly: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Kaguya-sama:_Love_Is_War_episodes
The correct entry should be another season with 4 episodes like this:
As with Crunchyroll, the season can be referred to as Season 25 to avoid future overlaps.

Wouldn't there be two original releases by that logic? Once the release of the movie. And once the release of a season with 4 new episodes.
Wouldn't it then be possible to enter both like IMDB did?
Ultimately, each of the 4 episodes contains additional information that would be important for the completeness of the movie database. E.g. titles, the descriptions of the individual episodes, running time, release date etc.
It would also be important to be able to give a rating to each individual episode. This is possible on IMDB because it is listed as the 4th season as well. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt9522300/episodes/?season=4
There are already many releases that treat it as 4 episodes. These can be viewed consistently in the future. The cinema release, on the other hand, was just a merging of these episodes and only aired for one or two weeks.
From a user's perspective and their ability to rate and receive information about the individual episodes, it would definitely make sense. The majority of users stream the series. Almost no one saw it in the cinema.

No. The original release is always the first one.
No. TMDB doesn't support alternate versions and consider them as duplicates.

As you can check for yourself using the two links, the 4 episodes were correctly entered as the 4th season on IMDB and the movie was created as a separate entry.

Each site has its own set of rules.

But the cinema version is not exactly the same as the TV version. So they are two separate original releases.
There are also a lot of entries on TMDB for movies that only consist of a few unchanged episodes of their related series, which are also listed. Here are some examples:
So if TMDB wants to follow its already established rules, the episodes must also be entered as a separate season despite the "Kaguya-sama: Love Is War - The First Kiss That Never Ends" movie release. Especially because little things like the opening and ending were changed here.
Thank you!

This is the definition of alternate versions.
These "movies" are episodes compilation DVD (the episodes were available first), as per this rule:
This movie is a theatrical movie edited from TV episodes (the episodes were available first), as per this rule:
For the following ones, even if the movies were released first, the episodes didn't form a season by themselves, but are part of a much bigger season:
None of these cases are a theatrical movie splitted in a standalone series of episodes.
