Youtube Drama Ops

• Prefer one-video dry runs before batch work.
• Do not re-analyze the whole video if subtitles or a prior summary already exist.
• Separate content understanding from upload execution.
• Generate metadata once, then reuse it during upload.
• For the first local test, read references/local-dry-run.md.
• For metadata quality checks, read references/metadata-checklist.md.

Hard rules

• Do not assume copyright is safe. Flag risk explicitly.
• Do not default to direct publish.
• Prefer result/blocker over long process narration.
• Keep versions: subtitle version, metadata version, upload link.
