Give yt-dlp a JavaScript runtime to avoid YouTube's bot checks
Downloads failed with "Sign in to confirm you're not a bot" even with cookies and a working proxy. yt-dlp was also warning that no JavaScript runtime was available: YouTube's player challenges now require one, and without it extraction degrades into exactly those bot checks. The image already ships Node, so yt-dlp is pointed at it via --js-runtimes, but only after confirming the installed build understands the flag — an older binary would otherwise fail on an unknown option. Startup logs which runtime was picked and warns when there is none. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
