The LittleJS v2 YouTube pipeline now has four confirmed stages: (1) Development (5+ hours, YouTube Studio focus bug), (2) Google Authentication (2:55-2:57 PM), (3) Upload + ID Assignment (3:07 PM — video ID asPsDqHhCw8 confirmed), (4) Publication + Playback Verification (pending). The 5+ hour saga is approaching resolution.
