feat(api): expose transcript state via X-Transcript-Status header#37
Merged
Conversation
…oses #36) PullMD distinguishes YouTube transcript states internally (ok|none|blocked |error) but only conveyed them as English placeholder strings in the body, forcing programmatic consumers (collector) to brittle-string-match a transient 429 block vs a genuinely absent transcript. Surface yt.transcriptStatus on the extraction result and set it as the X-Transcript-Status response header on GET /api (and in the SSE result event). Header is only set for sources that carry a status (YouTube); absent otherwise. Transient blocks are never cached, so the header is always present for the actionable `blocked` case (served fresh). Documented in README (both header references). Tests: 764 JS (+3). Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com> Claude-Session: https://claude.ai/code/session_01QzC4vKjJBjuAoD1JzyYAWp

…metadata on cache hits (#39) Strip 1x1 tracking pixels in cleanDom, add the sciencedaily-lead-image recipe (unwrap #text), and serve the full persisted metadata (og:image/twitter:image, description, author, …) on /api cache hits in both frontmatter and format=json. Batches untagged main commits since v3.1.0: #34 (youtube 429 vs missing transcript), #35 (bundle yt_transcript.py), #37 (X-Transcript-Status). Bumps version to 3.2.0.

Why
PullMD distinguishes YouTube transcript states internally (
ok | none | blocked | error) but only conveyed them as English placeholder strings in the response body. Programmatic consumers (notably the collector discovery pipeline) had to brittle-string-match to tell a transient 429 block from a genuinely absent transcript.What
