Spun out of #16 (playlist picker feature) per K's direction — a "what if"
question flagged as a possible future bug, not something to act on now.
What's untested
docs/probes/save-to-playlist-dom-findings.md documents the native "Save to
playlist" popup: all of a captured account's 18 playlists (16 user-created + Watch later + Shorts) rendered directly into the DOM inside a single yt-list-view-model with a fixed max-height: 220px (presumably
scrollable). No continuation tokens or lazy-load markers were found anywhere
near it — confirmed no pagination for that account size.
Never tested: what happens for an account with enough playlists to
actually overflow that 220px area. Two real possibilities:
Doesn't block shipping #16 — most accounts won't have enough playlists to
hit this. Filed separately so it doesn't sit as a permanent asterisk on #16's
scope, and so a future report of "the playlist picker doesn't see playlist X"
on a playlist-heavy account has somewhere to land instead of looking like a
regression.
What would resolve this
A DOM capture (same method as #16's probes: open the "Save to playlist"
popup on an account with enough playlists to overflow 220px, save the page,
trim to the <yt-sheet-view-model> fragment, redact real playlist names)
showing whether more yt-list-item-view-model rows exist in the DOM than fit
in the visible area, or whether the list is genuinely capped short of the
account's real playlist count.
No PR against any item here without K's explicit sign-off, same convention as #6/#12/#16.

Never tested: what happens for an account with enough playlists to

overflow— all playlists are already in the DOM(same as the 18-playlist case), and scrolling just reveals them. In this
case our playlist-picker feature (spec(playlist): keyboard-driven fuzzy playlist picker for current video (no implementation) #16) already works correctly with zero
extra code, since our scraper already collects whatever's in the DOM.
account with many playlists could have some silently missing from what
our scraper collects, so the fuzzy picker (spec(playlist): keyboard-driven fuzzy playlist picker for current video (no implementation) #16) would never be able to
find/target them.
No account available during #16's research had enough playlists to trigger
this, so it's unconfirmed either way.
Why this is its own issue, not blocking #16
