- download_subs_only(): yt-dlp --skip-download to fetch just .vtt sidecar
- POST /by-yt/{ytId}/download-subs endpoint
- CC chip now visible on downloaded videos; clicking checks YouTube,
shows lang picker with "Add subtitles" button separate from re-download

- Convert subs to .vtt (was .srt which browsers don't support in <track>)
- Add GET /subtitle-files endpoint: instant disk scan for .vtt sidecar files,
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

Auto-fetching on every watch page load spawned a yt-dlp process per visit
which could hang and pile up. CC button now triggers the check on demand.

- fetch_available_subs() queries yt-dlp for manual + auto-generated
subtitle langs available on YouTube for any given video
- GET /api/videos/by-yt/{ytId}/subs exposes this to the frontend
- DownloadRequest now accepts subtitle_langs to override the global
setting on a per-download basis
- Watch page fetches available subtitle langs on load (in parallel),
shows a CC dropdown with manual langs + auto-generated langs labeled
"(auto)"; selected lang is passed through to the download

Changing the quality dropdown while a video is already downloaded now
immediately deletes the old file and starts a fresh download at the new
quality — no separate Re-download button needed.

- Quality selector now always visible when idle (not just pre-download)
- Saved chip shows actual downloaded resolution (e.g. "Saved · 1080p")
- Re-download chip deletes existing file and starts new download at selected quality

The unified effect already gates polling on dlStatus===complete, but
handleDownloadAndPlay was still calling pollForFile immediately on click,
before the download even started.

Never start polling until backend status==="complete" or video.is_downloaded
is true, preventing the player from loading a partially-written file.

Removed the label ('Not for me') and kept it icon-only to match the
minimal direction, but the -3.0 affinity signal still fires so the
feed learns to show less of that content.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- VideoCard: actions now hover-only everywhere (was always-visible on mobile)
- Watch: remove Good/Bad rating chips — Like covers positive signal,
dismiss/skip covers negative. Fewer buttons, same data.
- Watch: PiP and Theater are now icon-only (no label)
- Watch: increase content gap to gap-4/gap-5 for more breathing room

- VideoCard list variant: strip URLs/affiliate links before rendering,
collapse to 1 line (was 2 lines of raw text including https:// spam)
- DescriptionBox collapsed preview: 2 lines / 200 chars before "Show more"
(was 4 lines — too much affiliate crap before you can dismiss it)
- Full description still shown when expanded in Watch view

- Default list view across all pages (Home, Following, History, Queue,
ContinueWatching, Liked, Discovery, SearchResults, Channel)
- Watch.jsx mobile: smaller chips/title/avatar/meta, hide tags + keyboard
hint on mobile, tighter gaps, compact description padding
- Fix mobile bottom nav showing focus outline on tap
- Fix _update_affinity to write negative entries (not just positive) so
dislikes/dismissals on unseen content actually register
- Dismissing a discovery video now fires -3.0 affinity against its tags,
matching the dislike weight

Bar depends on reliable dislike data which YouTube doesn't expose.
Show likes inline as "X.XM likes" alongside views and date instead.

Comments: switch from CLI --write-comments to yt-dlp Python API with
getcomments=True — more reliable, proper extractor_args dict format
Dislikes: add dislike_count column, fetch from returnyoutubedislike.com
after each video metadata upsert (5s timeout, non-fatal)
UI: replace emoji like count with a like/dislike ratio bar — blue fill
showing like proportion, labels on each end; views stay in meta row
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Same pattern as view_count: model column, yt-dlp extraction, SQL select,
VideoDetail field, startup migration, and display in Watch meta row.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Video model: view_count column (Integer, nullable)
- ytdlp._normalize_video: extract view_count from yt-dlp info
- _VIDEO_SELECT: include v.view_count in all queries
- VideoDetail schema: view_count field
- Watch page: formatViews() helper, show "X.XM views" in meta row
alongside date and category

- VideoComment model (video_id, author, text, likes, is_pinned, published_at)
- fetch_video_comments() in ytdlp.py: top 20 comments, no reply threads,
sorted pinned-first then by likes
- GET /videos/by-yt/{id}/comments — returns cached comments instantly
- POST /videos/by-yt/{id}/comments/refresh — fetches from YouTube, stores, returns
- Watch page: CommentsSection shows "Load comments" button when uncached,
renders comments with author/likes once loaded; Refresh link to re-fetch

getQueue was called on the watch page but missing from the import list,
causing a ReferenceError that broke the entire /watch/:id route.
