// After 2 consecutive failures:
// - Feed enters cooldown
// - Skipped for 5 minutes

// Only visible items + 3-item overscan buffer create DOM elements
// Viewport spacers simulate full-list height
// Uses requestAnimationFrame-batched scroll handling
// DOM elements pooled and recycled

// Auto-links:
// - Countries (click to open country brief)
// - Leaders (click to see related news)
// - Organizations (click to filter)

// Settings → Keyword Monitors
keywords: "AI regulation, sanctions, TSMC"

// Features:
// - Word-boundary matching ("ai" won't match "train")
// - Automatic color-coding (10-color palette)
// - Multi-keyword support (comma-separated)
// - Real-time match counts
// - Searches both title and description

// Bypasses:
// - YouTube cookie popups
// - Bot detection
// - WKWebView autoplay restrictions

// Channels:
// - Sky News
// - Euronews
// - DW
// - France24
// - Al Arabiya
// - CBS News
// - TRT World
// - Sky News Arabia
// - Al Hadath
// - RT (banned from YouTube, HLS only)

// HLS failure triggers 5-minute cooldown
// Automatically falls back to YouTube iframe

// Scrapes YouTube channel pages every 5 minutes
// Finds active streams via:

// Desktop app solution:
// - Transparently routes through cloud-hosted embed proxy
// - Bidirectional message passing (play/pause/mute/unmute)
// - Detects Tauri environment automatically

// After 5 minutes of inactivity:
// - Players pause
// - Removed from DOM
// - Resume when user returns

// Tab visibility changes:
// - Hidden tab: Suspend streams
// - Visible tab: Resume streams

// Settings: auto, 360p, 480p, 720p
// Preference persists in localStorage
// Propagates via CustomEvent (no reload required)
