v0.4 (2026-08-05) — Make native-caption extraction the default so prefilled runs do not require an OpenAI credential; Whisper remains an explicit opt-in.

v0.3.7 (2026-07-29) — Apply maxDurationMinutes only to Whisper audio transcription, not native/manual/auto caption downloads. Long captioned lectures and streams now succeed without weakening the Whisper cost cap. Added regression tests for both paths.

v0.3 — Retries throttled subtitle downloads, falls through the ordered preferred-language list, emits only validated transcript rows with coupled PPE charging, and persists honest COMPLETE/PARTIAL/CONFIG\_ERROR/UPSTREAM\_FAILED outcomes. Failed URL diagnostics are stored in FAILURES rather than the result dataset.
