Exact-checkout compatibility note

The common results target a different revision

Some m3u8/HLS manifests have no audio codec/bitrate info and yt-dlp doesn't sort them correctly

The affected tree is yt-dlp/yt-dlp@9d5e6de2e7a47226d1f72c713ad45c88ba01db68. Current upstream discussions are useful for diagnosis, but they do not provide a validated backport for this historical checkout.
