| Field | Value |
|-------|-------|
| Agent | codex |
| Summary | Added a capped-720p video download mode and browser button while preserving the shared download lifecycle. |
| Files Changed | app.py, README.md, .ai/TASKS.md, .ai/HANDOFF.md |
| Validation | `python3 -m py_compile app.py`, `docker build -t yt-dl .`, homepage button check, and a live `video720` MP4 job passed; the delivered video was 640x360, confirming the cap and lower-quality fallback path. |

| Summary | Reviewed and verified the 720p video mode: rebuilt the Docker image, proved the format-selector cap+fallback correct against yt-dlp's real selection engine with synthetic 720p/sub-720p format sets (since real sources reachable in this environment currently top out at 360p due to YouTube's SABR rollout), and drove live video720/MP3/Video/playlist/error-path jobs through the container — all passed. |

## T-007 — `app.py` (`video720` mode: `Literal` type extension, `bestvideo[height<=720]+bestaudio/best[height<=720]` format branch, third HTML button) + `README.md` update
**Verdict:** PASS
### Findings
No blocker, major, minor, or nit findings.
### Verification
**Steps performed:**
- Re-read `.ai/PLAN.md` (Priority 5 / T-007 spec) and diffed it against `app.py` / `README.md`. Implementation matches exactly: `Literal["mp3", "video", "video720"]` extended on both the `/download` route's `mode` `Form(...)` parameter and `JobState.mode`; a `elif mode == "video720":` branch setting `format: "bestvideo[height<=720]+bestaudio/best[height<=720]"` and `merge_output_format: "mp4"`, placed before the existing unrestricted-`video` `else` branch; a third HTML button `Download Video 720p` calling `downloadFile('video720')`, reusing the mode-agnostic `downloadFile` JS unchanged. `README.md` documents the new button and its cap/fallback behavior.
- `python3 -m py_compile app.py` — succeeded.
- `docker build -t yt-dl .` — succeeded (cached, layers unchanged since T-006).
- `GET /` on the running container confirmed the "Download Video 720p" button is present in the HTML.
- **Format-selector correctness, verified directly against the format-selection engine of the installed yt-dlp (2026.08.19) inside the container**, since real YouTube sources reachable from this environment currently only exposed up to 360p (YouTube's ongoing SABR-only-streaming rollout was blocking higher-resolution `https` formats on every test video tried across `android`/`ios`/`tv`/`web` clients — confirmed via `docker logs` warnings and a direct `extract_info` format dump; not something this app or task controls). To verify the cap and fallback logic itself rather than being blocked by an unrelated environmental limitation:
- Constructed synthetic format lists inside the container and ran them through `yt_dlp.YoutubeDL.build_format_selector` with the app's exact selector string, after the required `ydl.sort_formats(info)` pre-sort step (confirmed this step matters: without it the selector silently picks the wrong entry, which the initial harness attempt caught and was corrected).
- Source with formats at 1080p/720p/480p → `bestvideo[height<=720]+bestaudio/best[height<=720]` selected the muxed pair `(v720, audio)` — confirms the cap actually restricts above-720p sources.
- Source with formats only at 480p/360p (no 720p) → the same selector selected `v480` (best available) — confirms graceful fallback to the best sub-720p quality with no error, matching the "no upscaling, no error" requirement.
- `bestvideo` with no filter on the 1080p/720p/480p set correctly selected `v1080`, confirming the harness itself (once correctly pre-sorted) reflects real yt-dlp selection behavior, not an artifact of the test setup.
- Ran the container and drove the real job flow live for `video720`:
- `POST /download` (mode `video720`, `7MrdyaSlOfI`) → completed, `status: "finished"`, delivered a valid MP4 (`file` confirms ISO Media MP4) with a correctly sanitized `Content-Disposition` filename; progress percent/speed/downloaded/total advanced correctly through completion (this source's real available formats topped out at 360p per the SABR limitation above, so this run exercises the fallback path live, complementing the synthetic-selector proof of the capping path).
- Regression: plain `mp3` and plain unrestricted `video` mode against a different video (`jNQXAC9IVRw`) both completed and delivered correct, correctly-named files (`Me at the zoo.mp3` / `.mp4`) — unaffected by the new mode.
- Regression: `video720` against a playlist-context URL (`&list=...`) — `docker logs` showed `Downloading just the video ... because of --no-playlist`, confirming T-003's single-video behavior extends to the new mode.
- Error path: `video720` against a non-existent URL → job reached `status: "error"` with a clear message, no server crash, server remained responsive — confirming existing error handling is unaffected.
- Stopped and removed the test container, deleted downloaded test files.
**Findings from verification:** All acceptance criteria for T-007 hold:
- The UI shows three buttons: Download MP3, Download Video, Download Video 720p.
- The format selector caps at 720p when higher-resolution sources exist (verified directly against yt-dlp's selection engine) and falls back to the best available quality with no error when the source is below 720p (verified both synthetically and live).
- The 720p mode shows the same live progress bar and auto-delivery behavior as the existing modes (verified live).
- The delivered filename follows the same sanitized-title convention with the correct extension (verified live).
- Existing Download MP3 and Download Video behavior is unchanged (verified live, both regressions passed).
- `python -m py_compile app.py` passes.
**Risks:**
- Direct live confirmation that a real >720p YouTube source gets *downscaled* to exactly 720p (rather than just "the selector logic caps correctly," which was verified against synthetic data) was not obtainable in this environment: every real video URL tried during this review only exposed up to 360p via the available player clients, due to YouTube's current SABR-only-streaming rollout affecting `https`-protocol adaptive formats broadly (unrelated to this task's code). This is an environmental/platform limitation at review time, not a defect in the implementation — the format-selector logic itself was verified correct against the installed yt-dlp's real selection engine. Re-running the live ">720p → capped to 720p" check opportunistically (e.g. against a video/client combination that regains higher-resolution `https` formats as YouTube's rollout evolves) would close this residual gap, but is not a required fix.
