conductor(tracks): Register video_analysis_campaign_20260621 as active research track (row 26)

Browse Source 
- Added row 26 in Active Tracks table: priority A (research), independent, multi-pass handoff
- Added detailed section under 'Active Research Tracks (2026-06+)' so the anchor link resolves
- Documents: 12 videos in 5 clusters, per-child deliverables, reusable tooling, Phase 0 blockers, Pass 2/3 handoff contract

### Track: Video Analysis Campaign (2026-06-21)
**Pass 1 of 3** in a long-running research campaign to penetrate the AI field. The user framed the broader effort:
- **Pass 1 (THIS track):** Information extraction + distillation. 12 curated YouTube videos → transcripts, keyframes, OCR, deep-dive reports.
- **Pass 2 (FUTURE, user-led):** De-obfuscation via user's custom math encoding notation (USER must rediscover the encoding before starting; related: `intent_dsl_survey_20260612`).
- **Pass 3 (FUTURE, user-led):** Projection to user's applied domain (handmade/data-oriented/GPGPU — Timothy Lottes, Onat Türkçüoğlu, Jebrim — + user's own caveats).
**Scope (14 folders):**
- **Umbrella:** [`tracks/video_analysis_campaign_20260621/`](./tracks/video_analysis_campaign_20260621/) — spec ✓, plan ✓, metadata ✓, state ✓, README ✓
- **12 child tracks:** [`video_analysis_<slug>_20260621/`](./tracks/) — one per video, lightweight spec.md scaffolded; full `plan.md` + `metadata.json` + `state.toml` added during execution by Tier 2
- **1 synthesis track:** [`tracks/video_analysis_synthesis_20260621/`](./tracks/video_analysis_synthesis_20260621/) — blocked_by all 12 children; produces `per_video_summary.md` + cross-cutting `report.md`
**12 videos (5 clusters, execution order):**
- **E (Stanford >1hr):** CS229 — Building LLMs; CS336 — Language Modeling from Scratch, Spring 2026, Lecture 3: Architectures
- **A (math/info-theoretic foundations):** Probability Theory is an Extension of Logic; From Entropy to Epiplexity (Wilson & Finzi); Learning Dynamics from Statistics (Giorgini)
- **B (Platonic/geometric AI):** Towards a Platonic Intelligence (Kumar); Free Lunches (Levin)
- **C (biological/cognitive/generic):** Interesting Behavior by Generic Systems (Fields); Most Counterintuitive Way to Build a Brain; Cognition Emerges from Neural Dynamics (Miller); A Multiscale Logic of Collective Intelligence (Hoffman & Prakash)
- **D (applied):** Creikey — DL/CV for Game Developers (BSC 2025)
**Per-child deliverables:** `artifacts/transcript.json` (timestamped segments, lossless JSON) + `artifacts/frames/*.jpg` (50-500 deduplicated) + `artifacts/ocr.md` (full per-frame OCR) + `report.md` (**1000-10000 LOC markdown per user directive**) + `summary.md` (200-400 words).
**Reusable tooling (5 scripts, TDD in `scripts/video_analysis/`):** `download_video.py` (yt-dlp subprocess), `extract_transcript.py` (youtube-transcript-api), `extract_keyframes.py` (ffmpeg scene detect + cv2 + imagehash), `ocr_frames.py` (winsdk or tesseract), `synthesize_report.py` (orchestrator).
**Phase 0 tooling prerequisites (BLOCKERS, verified 2026-06-21):** `yt-dlp`, `opencv-python`, `imagehash`, `pillow` are NOT installed in this repo's venv. OCR backend decision pending (winsdk preferred, tesseract fallback).
**Risk register highlights:** R5 (2 E-cluster videos failed oEmbed 401 — yt-dlp may still work), R7 (Pass 1 over-summarization loses signal for Pass 2), R8 (Tier 2 capacity for 12+ child tracks).
**See also:** [umbrella spec](./tracks/video_analysis_campaign_20260621/spec.md) for full design; [umbrella metadata](./tracks/video_analysis_campaign_20260621/metadata.json) for scope + verification criteria.
