//! This module provides a function to download a video from a given URL.
//!
//! The main function `download_video` uses the `yt-dlp` tool to download a video
//! from a given URL and stores it in a temporary file.
//! The function returns a temporary file path to the downloaded video.
//! The temporary file is deleted when the file is closed.
//! The temporary file is created in a temporary directory (OS dependent).
