Takeout is a snapshot you have to go and fetch. This reads the live list from youtube.com/feed/channels in a browser already signed in. It runs JavaScript in the page rather than fetching it here, because the session cannot be borrowed: Chromium encrypts its cookie store with a per-app Keychain key, and Arc's cookies read with Chrome's key came back undecryptable — 1346 of 2196, the session cookies among them. The list is also lazily loaded, so it has to be scrolled to the end, which only the page can do. Measured against a hand-scrolled count: 208 both ways. The browser is brought to the front first. A background tab has its DOM discarded, so it reports its address while having nothing on it, which reads exactly like an empty subscription list. The page gives handles, not channel ids. Most belong to channels already known here and are matched by name, costing nothing; only the rest are looked up, four at a time. That mattered more than it sounds: with the name selector wrong every name came back empty, nothing matched, all 208 were looked up blind, and the result claimed 58 channels should be deleted. With names read correctly it is 4 lookups and 0 deletions. Names arriving doubled — "3D OCD 3D OCD", which reads fine and matches nothing — are collapsed. osascript prints a string result in source form, quoted with the newlines escaped, so a list of rows arrived as one line that looked like no rows at all. It is unquoted before parsing. The menu bar item is now a window, not an NSMenu: the app's own type, spacing and colours, hanging from the icon and closing on blur. Adding a channel is gone from it — the sidebar already does that. Replacing the subscription list is confirmed in the main window, never in a panel that closes when you look away, and the confirmation counts what would go before anything happens. Verified end to end: 208 read, 4 looked up, 0 removed, 48 downloads untouched.
