 # Promoted to a direct dep so routers/conversion.py can call
 # youtube-transcript-api WITHOUT going through MarkItDown for YouTube URLs.
 # Reason: MarkItDown's YouTubeConverter silently falls back to scraping the
 # watch-page HTML when no transcript exists (returns ~800 chars of footer
 # chrome — verified live on session 4a00f339). We need the transcript-vs-no-
 # transcript signal explicitly, which only the direct API exposes.
