peter b25179c06a fix(search): a paid search keeps its slot, refunds are few, and the budget check holds the call
An API-sourced live search that reached search.list has spent 100 units (the client records them
before it reads the status), so it keeps its daily slot: refunding it let a bogus cursor spend the
shared budget without ever counting against the cap. A failure before the call still gives the slot
back.

Every refund is rationed too (5 an hour per user and list): a cursor is a free string, and a request
built to fail would otherwise scrape YouTube from the server without end.

The API source asks the budget again right before search.list, under one process lock with the
call: checked apart, searches sent together at the last 100 units all passed and all spent.

"""`GET /api/search/youtube` — the per-user daily cap of the live search, both sources.
The scrape and search.list are replaced by pages the test hands out, and YouTube's videos.list by an
offline enrich. What is held: every request takes a slot, a cursor's too; a search that failed
outright gives its slot back; a zero limit turns live search off, which says so instead of "try
again tomorrow"; a lookup that fails says why instead of answering "no results"; only a few
failures an hour get their slot back; and the API source — 100 units a page — reads one page per
request, is refused before the call when the shared budget cannot pay for it (checked again under
one lock with the call), counts one slot per search though search.list logs its own event, and
keeps the slot of a search search.list was already paid for."""
