Policy-driven Upload Enforcement

Resolve upload behavior from policy status before triggering upload workflow.

Mapping

• CLEAN -> upload allowed, privacy public
• WARN/REVIEW/PENDING -> upload allowed, privacy forced private
• BLOCK -> upload not allowed (youtube_upload_status='blocked')

Enforcement Point

Apply this decision in render-complete stage (or pre-upload stage), not in frontend only.

Why

• Guarantees consistent behavior for manual + automatic triggers.
• Prevents bypass of safety checks.
• Produces auditable failure reasons via youtube_upload_error.

Shorts Interaction

Main upload policy still governs the parent video. Shorts retries should not bypass blocked parent policy states.
