An end-to-end system that researches a topic, verifies it against primary sources, synthesizes narration, renders a captioned vertical video, runs it through a technical gate, and stages it for review — with no timeline touched by hand.

• Word-timed captions driven by forced-alignment timestamps, not guesswork.
• A multi-stage gate checks aspect ratio, audio, duration, caption sync, and frame-to-frame dynamism by sampling real frames.
• Repo credibility stats are pulled live at render time through the GitHub connector.
• A deterministic local text-to-speech fallback keeps a run from ever blocking on an API quota.

A modular C++ command-line utility that losslessly compresses and decompresses files with the greedy Huffman algorithm — one binary, -c / -d flags, and real-time space-saving telemetry from the standard filesystem library.

• A min-heap merges the two lowest-frequency nodes until one tree remains; a depth-first pass then assigns 0/1 codes so frequent characters get the shortest paths.
• The serialized tree is written as a header, so a compressed file carries its own decoding dictionary.
• Bits are packed eight at a time into real bytes; decompression walks the rebuilt tree bit by bit back to the original text.
• A 128-slot ASCII frequency array gives O(1) counting on the first pass. Unified from two legacy scripts and ported to GCC 15.2 (temporary-rvalue binding fixes).

A Manifest V3 Chrome extension that removes Shorts everywhere on YouTube — the tab, the shelves, the sidebar, and the /shorts player itself — and replaces the home feed with a blank page, focus widgets, or a typed instruction.

• A MutationObserver keeps the rules applied through YouTube's single-page navigation.
• Any /shorts/<id> URL is redirected to the normal /watch player.
• Settings persist through chrome.storage.sync and propagate to open tabs without a reload.
