External JS runtime now a hard yt-dlp dependency (Python jsinterp deprecated
for YouTube 2025.11.12); QuickJS-ng via NDK or HLahwani/yt-dlp-android is the
path. Also fixes a markdown line starting with '#'.

First sub-project of the Android client: a research spike to decide go/no-go

building any UI. Four research questions, "reproduce where cheap" on the
emulator.
