YouTube Channel Search

Search inside a known YouTube channel with a reproducible local workflow:

1. Build a channel catalog with yt-dlp.
2. Rank likely videos from metadata.
3. Fetch transcripts only for the shortlist.
4. Rank transcript text for the final answer.

Prefer this over browser automation. Use agent-browser only for manual UI checks or auth/consent fallbacks.
