android_user_agent / ios_user_agent still take &ContentCountry — the previous commit over-pruned the imports when it dropped bootstrap_visitor_data. |

Rust port of NewPipeExtractor (v0.26.2), YouTube-only. Plugs into Straw via UniFFI.
Why this exists
rustypipe regex-parses YouTube's player.js and reimplements the signature deobfuscator in Rust. Every YT player rotation breaks it. NPE embeds Mozilla Rhino and executes the JS function live — resilient by design, and that's the architecture we're mirroring.
The rustypipe-backed Straw build (vc=15..17) also routed playback through iOS-progressive URLs, which hit a server-side ~917 KiB end-byte cap. NPE uses the Android client + po_token → DASH manifest path, which doesn't see the cap. Same fix, different layer.
See memory/npe-audit-2026-05-24/SPEC.md in the workspace repo for the full plan.
