feat: playlists command for bulk playlist operations#25
Merged
Conversation
Adds ytstudio playlists list/show/create/update/delete/items/add/remove/reorder covering the playlist surface YouTube Studio handles poorly at scale. Power moves: bulk-add by search query, reorder by views. All writes are dry-run by default; --execute applies.

- add --position increments per insert so multi-video adds keep CLI order - combining --video and --from-search now respects --limit - uploads guard resolves the canonical channel uploads id via channels.list instead of the brittle UU-prefix heuristic - reorder skips writes that would be no-ops after prior shifts - bulk loops route through a small helper that turns RefreshError into a friendly "session expired" exit instead of an unhandled exception - CSV output for list and items uses csv.writer so embedded commas, quotes, and newlines survive round-trips - docs: new docs/playlists.md guide, added to the Guides nav
