Error message

informe um link, uma legenda ou um arquivo de mídia

What it means

In yt_notes.rs `run`, the tool requires at least one input source: a URL, an existing subtitle/caption input, or a media file for Whisper transcription. If none of these was supplied (or the branches that would populate `cues`/`source` were not taken), it fails fast with this Portuguese message instead of proceeding with empty input. It is a guard against running the transcription pipeline with nothing to process.

Solutions

1. Set `opts.url` to a valid YouTube (or other supported) video link before calling run.
2. Provide a subtitle/caption file input when no link is available.
3. Provide a local media file so the Whisper branch can transcribe it.
4. In the caller/UI, validate that at least one of link/caption/media is present before invoking the tool.

Example fix

// before
let opts = YtNotesOptions::default(); // no url, no media, no captions
run(opts).await?;
// after
let opts = YtNotesOptions { url: "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=abc".into(), ..Default::default() };
run(opts).await?;

if opts.url.trim().is_empty() && opts.media_path.is_none() && opts.subtitle_path.is_none() {
    return Err("provide a link, a caption or a media file before running yt-notes");
}
run(opts).await?;

fn has_source(opts: &YtNotesOptions) -> bool {
    !opts.url.trim().is_empty() || opts.media_path.is_some() || opts.subtitle_path.is_some()
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling `run` with an Options struct where `opts.url` is empty/whitespace, no subtitle file was given, and no media path was provided (the final `else` branch of the source-selection if/else chain).

Common situations: A GUI/frontend invokes the yt-notes tool with only a title or topic but no link; a test or script builds options forgetting to set the url field; a user clears the link field but leaves the media/subtitle inputs empty.
