Adds lib/sub-yt-fetch.sh (yt-dlp wrapper) and lib/yt-clean.py (collapses
YouTube's rolling-window auto-caption VTT into a flat SRT). For shows
distributed YouTube-first that have no community subs anywhere -- verified
via three parallel research agents covering OpenSubtitles REST, OS legacy,
Addic7ed, SubDL, SubSource, and Podnapisi for the 5 niche shows in the
library, plus a price-vs-coverage analysis of OpenSubtitles VIP.
Findings: OS VIP would not have helped on the niche shows (it is
download-cap relief, not coverage unlock; same catalog as free). All 4
Jarrad Wright shows in the library (Sassy, Big Lez Saga, Donny &
Clarence, Mike Nolan) live on the same channel and have only YouTube
auto-CC available. v3.5 ships those, explicitly violating STYLE.md
'best quality' as a tracked stop-gap.
Sassy the Sasquatch S01 5/5 episodes subbed with cleaned auto-CC. Mike
Nolan special-case noted: a 'COMPLETE SEASON | SUBTITLES' YT upload from
Oct 2025 carries hand-typed CCs and should be preferred over per-episode
auto-CC when subbing that show.
ROADMAP H5 added: v4 WhisperX large-v3 on the friend RTX 4080 node will
regenerate the v3.5 stop-gap with proper-noun-prompted transcription
(~4-6%% WER vs ~12%% YT auto-CC) and restore the STYLE.md quality bar.
H1 OpenSubtitles credentials marked done (was completed 2026-05-09).
