Questions about manage_youtube_playlist
Create, update or delete a playlist on the connected channel.

UPDATE merges: an omitted title or description is LEFT ALONE rather than erased. DELETE is confirm-gated and does NOT delete the videos — what dies is the playlist, its ordering and every link or embed pointing at its URL; a playlist that is public or has videos in it additionally needs confirmTitle echoed back exactly, because confirm alone proves you meant to delete something and not that you aimed at the right playlist.
