Adds an opt-in checkbox parameter `skip_members_only`, default off. When enabled, items in the lockupViewModel JSON shape that carry a `BADGE_MEMBERS_ONLY` badge are dropped, since they require a paid channel membership to watch. With the option off the feed is unchanged. Only affects the JSON path (when duration_min/duration_max is set); the Atom path relies on YouTube's server-side filtering and ignores it.

Members-only videos appear in a channel's JSON listing but can't be played without a paid membership, so they're noise in a feed reader. This adds an opt-in
skip_members_onlycheckbox, default off, that drops them.The filter can't live in FilterBridge: membership status isn't in the title or description, only in a
BADGE_MEMBERS_ONLYbadge in YouTube's raw JSON. Members-only items use the lockupViewModel layout (parsed since #4982), sowrapLockupViewModelreturns null for any item carrying that badge.Only the lockupViewModel shape carries the badge, so this applies to channel/user/custom listings on the JSON path (used when
duration_min/duration_maxis set). The Atom path already filters members-only server-side and ignores the parameter.Test plan
Ran on 2026-06-29 against LMG (channel id

BADGE_MEMBERS_ONLYmarkers in that channel'sytInitialDataexactly.php -lpasses.The "By playlist Id" failure in the artifact table is pre-existing and fails identically on current; YouTube changed the playlist JSON shape. #5026 addresses it.
