This generates a complete demo output with plan, captions, audio, metadata, thumbnail brief, shorts plan, and YouTube package.

Limitations

• v0.1 packages publish-ready assets; it does not fully replace human review
• YouTube auto-upload is not enabled by default
• Browser recording depends on Playwright and browser availability
• Rendering depends on ffmpeg
• Automatic login is not handled
• Captions from scripts are local; transcription requires API keys
• Thumbnail is brief-first; final design may need Canva
• Background audio should be reviewed before publishing
