- [ ] **Cookies jar for the YouTube bot gate (deferred 2026-08-27 — not being tackled yet).**
`runYtdlpResilient()` already recovers from "Sign in to confirm you're not a bot"
by retrying against `YTDLP_FALLBACK_CLIENTS`, so saves no longer fail. The residual
cost: while the gate is active, `tv_simply`/`android_vr`/`mweb` typically expose only
progressive itag 18, so those saves land at **360p instead of 720p** (`web_embedded`
keeps the full adaptive ladder when it works). Fix would be to supply a Netscape
cookies jar so the default client stays available: the server already honours
`YTDLP_COOKIES=<path>` when the file exists — what's missing is mounting the jar into
the container (compose volume + env) and a refresh story for when the cookies expire.
Only worth doing if 360p saves become noticeable in practice.
