Turn a YouTube link into a polished single-file bilingual (Chinese + original) transcript reading page. Use when the user gives a YouTube URL and asks to "转录" "做转录稿" "生成转录页面" "中英对照" "bilingual transcript" "transcribe this video", or wants a readable HTML transcript with clickable timestamps, chapter navigation, highlighted key points, and proper-noun annotations. Fetches captions + chapters via yt-dlp, the agent translates and curates, then a script renders the HTML.
