5a — the public watch page rendered every asset in a <video>, but WebKit (all
iOS browsers) refuses to play an audio-only mp3 in <video>, so shared audio
links were broken on iPad while working on desktop Chromium. public_meta now
flags audio-only assets (codec present, no video stream) and WatchPage renders
a native <audio> in a padded surface card (no artwork exists for these).
5c — a login-walled Facebook post failed as a bare 'unknown', which offered a
misleading Retry. Classify closed-group / cookie-suggestion auth walls as
login_required and genuinely unsupported sites as a new unsupported_host class
(both non-retryable), and drop unknown from the modal's retryable set — an
unclassified failure is most often an unparsed auth wall. The queue row keeps
its own force-retry for real transients.
