Subject: [PATCH] feat(feed): guide a hidden-channel empty result to the
 Library
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Filtering by a channel under the Mine scope returns nothing when that channel's
subscription is hidden (or you don't subscribe to it) — its videos only live in
the shared Library, since the Mine feed excludes hidden subscriptions by design.
Previously this left a bare 'No videos match these filters', which reads as a
bug when you know you're subscribed.

Add an empty-state hint + a 'View in Library' button (switches scope to all) when
there's a channel filter under Mine and zero results. Bilingual EN/HU.

Verified live: ?channel=<ColdFusion>&show=all under Mine shows the hint; the
button switches to Library and surfaces the 36 videos.
