Replace the cookies-file stopgap (needs a throwaway account + manual refresh)
with a self-hosted PO token provider — the cookie-less way past YouTube's
datacenter-IP block (bot check + media 403).
- docker-compose: new bgutil-provider service (brainicism/bgutil-ytdlp-pot-provider)
+ install the bgutil-ytdlp-pot-provider plugin in the backend + POT_PROVIDER_URL
env + depends_on.
- ytdlp.js / server.js: when POT_PROVIDER_URL is set, pass
--extractor-args youtubepot-bgutilhttp:base_url=... to the download cascade, the
YTM search probe and the importer resolve. Empty → omitted (unchanged behaviour).
- Removed the cookiesFile config + --cookies wiring so there's no dead code.
