Timestamp-linked notes for video/audio ingestion #67

Description

@nazim117

Problem

YouTube and audio ingestion (extractors.py's _extract_youtube/_extract_audio, via faster-whisper) currently flattens everything to plain transcript text before chunking. There's no way to jump back to "the part where they explained backprop" — citations point at a chunk index, not a timestamp.

Proposal

Preserve timestamp metadata through ingestion (faster-whisper and the YouTube transcript API both provide per-segment timestamps already) and store it alongside each chunk's payload in Qdrant. Citations for video/audio sources could then link to youtube.com/watch?v=...&t=123s or an equivalent seek point, instead of just naming the source.
