`pipx install yt-dlp` was the instruction here, and it never worked. It
gives yt-dlp its own venv, so the binary lands on PATH while gallery-dl,
living in a different venv, still cannot `import yt_dlp`. Everything looks
installed and the log keeps saying `Cannot import yt-dlp or youtube-dl` —
which is exactly what the first run logged, and why it fell back to
progressive URLs for DASH video, the path the CDN 429s hit hardest.
`pipx inject gallery-dl yt-dlp` is the fix. Verify it by asking gallery-dl's
own interpreter rather than the shell, since `which yt-dlp` succeeds either
way and is what made the original advice look correct.
