Crate videoforge 

Constrained inspection and archiving of exact, public YouTube videos.

VideoForge delegates extraction to a trusted external yt-dlp executable. It does not expose arbitrary arguments, authentication, or access-control workarounds. Callers must explicitly confirm authorization before archiving.
