Add opt-in local transcription with managed installation, cache warm-up,
and a one-time backend choice while preserving native-caption priority.
Correct frame timing and coverage, caption provenance and download
ownership, configuration parsing, provider pairing, and partial reports.
Update cross-host instructions, packaging, and test-gated release CI.
Validate 198 isolated tests, real local English and Spanish inference,
network-denied warm-cache inference, live captions/media, and packaging.
Record platform and account-dependent acceptance limits separately.
An inline comment on the WATCH_DETAIL value line (e.g.
`WATCH_DETAIL=balanced # ...`) parsed as the literal "balanced # ..."
value, failed validation, and silently reverted to the default mode.
- setup.py: move the allowed-values list off the value line in the env
template so the wizard no longer models a trailing inline comment.
- config.py: strip a whitespace-preceded inline comment from unquoted
values so a stray comment can't silently break selection again
(preserves '#' inside quotes / API keys).
- SKILL.md: note to write the bare key with no trailing comment.

Frame extraction now runs a perceptual dedup pass (default on, --no-dedup
to disable) that drops near-identical frames before the budget cap, so the
budget goes to distinct content instead of held slides/static recordings.
The Frames report line notes how many near-duplicates were dropped.
Whisper transcription splits audio over the 25 MB upload cap into evenly
sized chunks, transcribes each, shifts segment timestamps back into source
time, and tolerates partial failures (only fails if every chunk fails) —
length alone no longer fails transcription.
token-burner is exempt from the long-video sparse-scan warning since it
keeps every scene-change frame. README/SKILL.md updated. Adds test_dedup.py and test_whisper.py.

Move the skill into skills/watch/ so SKILL.md and its scripts/ runtime are
siblings inside one folder. `npx skills add` (Codex/Cursor/Copilot/agents) now
copies a working skill as a unit; previously it grabbed the root SKILL.md alone
and left scripts/ behind, so the skill was dead on arrival on every non-Claude
host. Mirrors the layout last30days-skill adopted for the same reason.
- skills/watch/{SKILL.md,scripts/}: self-contained skill folder
- SKILL.md: resolve a harness-agnostic $SKILL_DIR (the dir it was Read from)
instead of the Claude-Code-only ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}; guard + 19 call sites
- drop commands/watch.md: /watch derives from frontmatter (name + user-invocable)
- .codex-plugin/plugin.json: full manifest with "skills": "./skills/" + interface
- add .agents/plugins/marketplace.json, AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, .skillignore
- build-skill.sh: archive the skills/watch subtree (one SKILL.md, no zip -d)
- fix paths in tests, hooks hint, .gitattributes, release.yml
- relocate dev-sync.sh to repo root and fix REPO_ROOT
- README: content-ideas structure, npx skills install, star history
Verified: 37/37 tests pass; npx skills add bundles the full scripts/ runtime;
manifests valid; versions synced at 0.1.3.
