Field-Sourced Library (multi-channel YouTube)
Distilled tactics from multiple YouTube creators. The curated 32 hacks above are unchanged. For field-sourced depth: match the topic to a category, load only that fs-*.md file.
Live counts, dedup state, and ranking are deliberately not recorded here, because they drift every time the library is extended. Treat the reference files themselves as the source of truth for what exists, and count from them if a number is needed.
