A Beatport-style custom parser, but pointed at YouTube's own InnerTube browse API
— no key, no Java, no third-party proxies. Reads the channel 'Videos' tab's
lockupViewModel items (contentId + relative 'N ago' text → approximate date,
which is fine for year-seasons), paginating via continuation tokens.
Validated LIVE before wiring in: GMM/MrBeast/Veritasium each return 240 dated
videos in ~7s with correct year spreads (e.g. Veritasium 2017→2026), ~8 requests
per channel (light on rate limits). End-to-end enricher run cached 240 dates.
Enricher order is now: InnerTube (primary) → configured proxy (opt-in, only if
empty) → yt-dlp per-video (the fallback / basic method, for undated gaps + exact
dates). Pure parsing is fully unit-tested (relative-date conversion, lockup
filtering, continuation-token selection, pagination, guards). 182 video tests
green; additive — if InnerTube ever breaks, it returns {} and falls back, so
nothing breaks.
