Authentication Bottleneck Spawns Three Distinct Latency Categories Across Shorts Pipeline

Analysis of the Shorts pipeline latency reveals three categories: technical latency (DSG rendering and masking, 7-15 minutes per cycle), review latency (multi-agent QA, 7 minutes for triple approval), and authentication latency (YouTube sign-in with context restart, 10-30+ minutes). The authentication category dwarfs the others, representing approximately 70% of total pipeline delay
