| Project | PR/Issue | Title | Why we care |
|---------|----------|-------|-------------|
| rustypipe | [PR #77](https://codeberg.org/ThetaDev/rustypipe/pulls/77) | "Some fixes" | Open 2026-05-23, unmerged. If maintainer stays quiet we may need to help land it or fork. |
| NPE | [#1339](https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor/issues/1339) | n-parameter deobfuscation broken | Core to playback. Fix here = fix in our Tier-1. |
| NPE | [#1444](https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor/issues/1444) | Distinguish unavailable vs unextractable | Clean typed-error PR target. |
| NPE | [#1360](https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor/issues/1360) | Refactor link handlers | "help wanted" label. |
| NPE | [#1357](https://github.com/TeamNewPipe/NewPipeExtractor/issues/1357) | JDoc checks in PR pipeline | "good first issue" — smallest credible first PR. |

## Posture

- Every sidecar bug we trace ends with one question: **is the root cause
  in rustypipe / NPE / yt-dlp?** If yes, fix it there first; pull the fix
  into our sidecar via dep bump or backport.
- We are not pretending to be on the rustypipe / NPE / yt-dlp maintainer
  level. We're a downstream consumer that does its share.
- A merged PR > a forked patch. A fork is the last resort, not the first move.
