nx_hls_parse.nx -- X-DLP rung 0: the sovereign HLS (.m3u8) manifest PARSER. The FLOOR of yt-dlp-class media download: an HLS stream is described by an M3U8 playlist (RFC 8216). A MASTER playlist lists variant streams (#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=... then a variant URI); a MEDIA playlist lists segments (#EXTINF:<dur>, then a segment URI). This parser walks the text (no JS, no curl) into a flat entry table the downloader then fetches via the already-sovereign h2/https client. Non-JS path = independent of the JS engine. API: nx_hls_parse(buf, len, out, max_entries, meta) -> entry_count (>=0), or -1 if the text is not a valid playlist (missing #EXTM3U header -- tamper-honest). out[i*3+0] = URI start offset in buf out[i*3+1] = URI byte length out[i*3+2] = value: segment DURATION in millis (media) OR BANDWIDTH bps (master) meta[0] = is_master (0|1) meta[1] = target_duration sec meta[2] = count meta[3] = version GATE (main): KATs parse a real MEDIA playlist (3 segments, durations) + a MASTER playlist (2 variants, bandwidths) + a TAMPER case (non-m3u8 -> -1, never faked). license_tier: ORIGINAL (sovereign text STATE_MACHINE; team re-authors from the spec).
