## Changelog

### 0.2 - 2026-09-27 - Input errors no longer fail the run

- Pre-flight validation errors (more than 50 video URLs, more than 5 channel URLs, max\_videos\_per\_channel above 50, an unknown tier or output\_format) were re-raised and ended the run FAILED. They now follow the portfolio convention: the reason is shown in the run's status message and in a labeled demo\_mode record, nothing is charged, and the run finishes SUCCEEDED.

- Premium tier adds: auto-translation of non-English transcripts via Google Translate.
- SEO metrics: title/description/tag length, hashtag counts, keyword density, CTA detection, timestamp count.
- Engagement metrics: engagement rate, like/comment ratios, views per day/hour, trending flag.
- Content-type classification across 20 categories with top-3 confidence scores.

- Optional comment fetching with author / likes / replies / pinned-hearted flags + lexicon sentiment + top-5 by likes.
- Optional channel-level enrichment cached per channel across the run.
- yt-dlp under the hood for metadata; youtube-transcript-api for transcripts (separate code path so transcript failures don't kill metadata).
- PPE charges fire on success - no charge for transcript event when transcript is unavailable.
- Output schema + dataset views (overview, detailed, transcript-segments unwind).
