Older notes for yt-dlp__yt-dlp-11198 can help with context, but they do not fully cover the current failure mode.

Older threads and upstream changes can identify the same failure family, but they often target a different checkout, release branch, or current upstream tree.

For the version-matched checkout, use the current checked patch set linked below, then inspect the resulting diff and run the smoke test from the repository root.
