feat(channels): channel-explore backend — about metadata, ephemeral provenance, cleanup
Adds the backend for a dedicated channel page + ephemeral browsing of un-subscribed
channels:
- migration 0033: channels.{total_view_count,published_at,banner_url,external_links,
from_explore}, videos.via_explore, explored_channels (per-user, grace-clocked).
- enrich channels with part=brandingSettings (banner/links) + statistics.viewCount +
snippet.publishedAt — no extra quota.
- GET /api/channels/{id}: About detail + this user's relationship; lazy-enriches the new
About fields (published_at sentinel).
- POST /api/channels/{id}/explore (require_human, quota-reserve guarded): records the
exploration, flags the channel ephemeral unless followed, ingests one page of uploads
(via_explore) + enriches; returns next_page_token for load-more.
- feed: per-explorer gate — a via_explore video is visible only to users who explored or
subscribe to its channel, so exploration never leaks into everyone's catalog.
- subscribe = keep: clears from_explore + via_explore on the channel's videos.
- scheduler explore_cleanup job + explore_grace_days config: hard-delete explored-but-
unkept channels and their untouched ephemeral videos after a grace period.

"""Channel exploration: ingest an un-subscribed channel's uploads on demand (flagged
|
|
|
|
|
via_explore, kept per-explorer) and purge channels nobody ends up keeping.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
A user opens a channel's page without subscribing → we pull a page of its recent uploads,
|
|
|
|
|
mark the new rows via_explore, and enrich them so they're immediately browsable. The videos
|
|
|
|
|
stay private to users who explored (or subscribe to) the channel — the feed query gates them
|
|
|
|
|
— so one user's curiosity never floods everyone's catalog. Subscribing is the "keep" signal;
|
|
|
|
|
otherwise the cleanup job hard-deletes the channel and its untouched ephemeral videos after a
|
|
|
|
|
grace period (mirrors the maintenance job's grace-then-delete safety)."""
