- Generates a concise Markdown knowledge-base entry including metadata, video overview, and a structured chapter/summary.
- Optionally translates subtitles for bilingual outputs and can merge bilingual subtitles for publication.
- Saves outputs to a Vault-like directory structure (00_inbox/02_clipping/yt-collector/{video_id}) with links to source URL and subtitles.
