zheng dd8e0f55c3 fix(portable): Gemini keys, Telegram pairing UI, and config durability
Improve first-run and channel setup for non-technical users: detect newer
Gemini key formats, pin Node 22.22.3, add Control Panel Telegram approve
flow, and keep channels/models when config is rewritten. Persist uclaw
wizard state via uclaw-meta.json so restarts skip language/persona prompts.

# YouTube Scripts
Longer-form video, where the viewer chose to click and can still leave.
## Title and thumbnail come first
Write them before the script. If you cannot write a title someone would click
without lying, the video idea needs rethinking rather than better editing.
- The title states what the viewer gets, not what the video is about
- Title and thumbnail should not repeat each other — together they say more
- No manufactured curiosity gaps. They work once and cost trust after that
## The first 30 seconds
The retention graph falls off a cliff here. What holds people:
1. **Confirm they are in the right place** — restate what they clicked for
2. **Show a glimpse of the payoff** — proof it is coming
3. **Start.** No channel intro, no "before we begin", no asking for the sub yet
## Structure
```
0:000:30 Confirm + glimpse the payoff
0:30… Body, in chapters that each stand alone
Last minute Recap, then one clear next action
```
Chapter the video and write the timestamps into the description. Viewers skip;
letting them skip well keeps them watching longer than forcing them not to.
## Script format
Full sentences for anything you will read straight; bullets for anything you will
say naturally. Mark B-roll and on-screen text inline:
```
[B-ROLL: drive being plugged in]
"This is the whole setup. No install, no admin rights."
[TEXT: works on a locked-down work laptop]
```
## Example prompts
```
Script for a 6-minute walkthrough of this product — first 30 seconds especially
```
```
Ten title options, none of them clickbait
```
```
Chapter breakdown and timestamps for this script
```
## Working notes
- Ask the length and audience before writing. A tutorial for existing users and
an introduction for strangers share no structure.
- Write to be spoken. Read it aloud — anything that trips the tongue gets cut.
- Do not script claims that the footage will not show. The mismatch is obvious.
