--playlist-items 1-5 --max-downloads 1 on all filtered steps so yt-dlp skips non-matching results (wrong artist, sped up, wrong duration) and lands on the first result that actually passes all active filters. Unfiltered last-resort fallbacks keep --playlist-items 1. YouTube fallback uses ytsearch5: to match the 5-result window. Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
