Auto-discovery daemon:
- Runs every hour, triggers full discovery for any user whose last run
was >23 hours ago. First check is 5 minutes after startup.
- Tracks run time in user_settings.last_discovery_run (new column).
- Manual Find More also stamps last_discovery_run.
Discovery status endpoint (GET /api/discovery/status):
- Returns pending_count (unseen queue size) and last_run timestamp.
- Shown in the Discover page header so users know queue state at a glance.
Find More UX fix:
- Was: kick background task, wait 8 seconds, refetch (task takes minutes).
- Now: button shows "Queued ✓" on success with an explanatory banner
telling the user it takes a few minutes and also runs daily automatically.
Query diversity:
- Added "best [category] channels" serendipity queries to crawl_by_search.
- Limit raised from 25 to 30 queries per run.

Writes a Kodi/Jellyfin-compatible .nfo XML file next to each .mp4 on
download completion, deletes it when the download record is removed, and
exposes POST /api/downloads/nfo/generate to backfill NFOs for existing
downloads. Frontend adds a "Generate NFO" button in the Downloads header.

- CC chip now visible on downloaded videos; clicking checks YouTube,
shows lang picker with "Add subtitles" button separate from re-download

no yt-dlp call needed
- Inject <track> elements into the video player for each .vtt on disk;
browser CC button appears automatically
- Before download: CC chip triggers YouTube availability check (slow, on demand)
- After download with subs: shows "CC ✓" — subtitles live in the player controls

- Backend: DELETE /stats/taste/{tag} removes the row from user_tag_affinity

invalidates stats query so the tag disappears immediately

A failed login attempt was triggering the global 401 interceptor which
silently redirected back to /login, making the form appear broken.

- _cookie_args() no longer falls through to --cookies-from-browser when
cookies_file is configured but missing. Firefox isn't installed in the
Docker image, so that fallback caused yt-dlp to exit with empty stdout
and every metadata fetch to return "Video not found on YouTube".
- fetch_video_metadata() now retries without auth args if the first call
fails, so a broken cookie config can't block public video fetches.
- Add use_oauth2 setting + full device-auth flow (POST /settings/oauth2-init,
GET /settings/oauth2-status) with OAuth2Section UI in Settings page.
- Add GET /settings/ytdlp-test diagnostics endpoint.
