fix(bot): restore youtube-dl-exec, discord-player-youtubei needs it undeclared - #2040
Conversation
discord-player-youtubei's compiled bundle has a hard top-level `import youtubeDl from "youtube-dl-exec"` that it never declares in its own package.json (dependencies/optionalDependencies/peerDependencies are all empty for it) — an upstream packaging bug. youtube-dl-exec was removed from packages/bot/package.json 5 days ago in a20a6c2 (top.gg download-feature removal) since our own code no longer called it directly. Nobody knew discord-player-youtubei needed it too. It kept "working" in production only because Docker's npm install layer was cached from before the removal — the deepmerge-ts security-gate fix (#2038) did a clean node_modules + lockfile regeneration that busted that stale cache, surfacing this for the first time: every YouTube extractor registration now throws ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND, breaking #play of YouTube URLs entirely. Fix: declare it again, purely as a transitive requirement for discord-player-youtubei — no download-feature code is restored. Dockerfile already sets YOUTUBE_DL_SKIP_DOWNLOAD=1 (see #1827/#874), so its postinstall binary download stays skipped. Verified: `import('discord-player-youtubei')` resolves cleanly, YoutubeExtractor export present. 3139/3140 bot tests pass (1 skip, pre-existing). tsc clean. audit:high clean.

Adds youtube-dl-exec (and its runtime deps like binary-version, dargs, debug-logfmt, find-versions) as production dependencies in the bot package, promoting several previously dev-only lockfile entries to non-dev. Reworks the packages/bot package.json dependency set alongside script and metadata changes.

Documents the YOUTUBE_DL_SKIP_DOWNLOAD=1 npm install invocation in the README to avoid youtube-dl-exec's postinstall GitHub-API rate-limit failures (#874/#1827). Promotes several youtube-dl-exec-related packages (execa, binary-version, find-versions, make-asynchronous, etc.) from dev to runtime dependencies in the lockfile and pulls in new transitive deps (dargs, debug-logfmt, is-unix, null-prototype-object, @kikobeats/time-span).

Adds a bot workspace package with discord.js/discord-player audio dependencies and its build, test, and clear-guild command scripts, and threads the newly non-dev youtube-dl-exec transitive deps (binary-version, execa, dargs, debug-logfmt, etc.) into the lockfile as production. Documents in the README that npm install must run with YOUTUBE_DL_SKIP_DOWNLOAD=1 to dodge the GitHub-API rate-limit issue during yt-dlp's postinstall.

Summary
Production-breaking regression, urgent. After #2038's clean node_modules/lockfile regen (needed for the deepmerge-ts security fix) busted a stale Docker npm-install cache layer, YouTube extractor registration now throws on every bot boot:
Discovered live on homelab after redeploying #2036 (the yt-dlp-cookies fix for #2034) — the cookies fix itself is correct, but it's moot because
createResilientStream(the function it patches) never gets wired in at all when this registration fails, since it's passed as{ createStream: createResilientStream }at theplayer.extractors.register(YoutubeExtractor, ...)call site (packages/bot/src/handlers/player/playerFactory.ts:166-169).Root cause
discord-player-youtubei's compileddist/index.mjshas a hard top-levelimport youtubeDl from "youtube-dl-exec"(confirmed:grep -n youtube-dl-exec node_modules/discord-player-youtubei/dist/index.mjs) that it never declares anywhere in its ownpackage.json(dependencies/optionalDependencies/peerDependencies all empty) — an upstream packaging bug.youtube-dl-execwas a real dependency of ours untila20a6c29(5 days ago, "remove the download feature for top.gg compliance", #1956) correctly dropped it since our own/downloadcommand no longer used it. Nobody knewdiscord-player-youtubeialso needed it internally. It kept working in production purely because Docker's npm-install layer (keyed bypackage-lock.jsonhash) was still cached from before that removal — until #2038's full lockfile regen busted that cache for the first time, surfacing the gap.Fix
