The helper is called in both create and update paths. However, there's a subtle bug: datetime.strptime() is naive (no timezone) and timestamp() assumes local timezone, which could drift relative to time.time() depending on system TZ—on some systems this could still resolve to past timestamps or create an off-by-one scenario. For the happy path (reasonable system timezone), it works.

The logic branches properly: explicit `--update` skips the slug lookup, slug-based dedup runs only for create path, and publish logic respects draft flag. All 36 tests pass, including 5 new dedup-specific tests covering the critical cases (existing update, new create, publish behavior with/without draft, explicit update bypass).

No unnecessary abstractions, helper functions, or defensive code. Test mocks were cleanly updated with `find_item_by_slug.return_value = None` for existing tests that should take the create path.

The new test class `TestUploadVideoSlugDedup` is focused and doesn't mix concerns with existing test classes. The feature integrates cleanly with existing client methods without polluting unrelated functions.

The implementation reuses existing `client.find_item_by_slug()`, `client.update_item()`, and `client.publish_items()` methods rather than reimplementing.

Types are sound (return value checked with `.get()`), logging is appropriate, error paths are implicit but safe (falsy existing returns None, create proceeds normally). The explicit-update path is correctly preserved and untouched. Test coverage is thorough and mocks are correctly configured.

The agent reused existing `client` methods (`find_item_by_slug`, `update_item`, `publish_items`) and didn't re-implement existing logic. The five modified existing tests add `mock_client.find_item_by_slug.return_value = None` to maintain test isolation, which is correct practice rather than duplication.

Names are clear (`existing`, `existing_id`). The logging is appropriate. The comment explaining the dedup logic is brief and helpful. Mocks are set up correctly across all test cases.

The explicit --update path correctly skips slug lookup. All 72 tests pass, indicating the happy path and edge cases (no match → create, match → update, draft vs. publish) are handled correctly.

The 4 existing tests were correctly updated to explicitly set find_item_by_slug.return_value = None rather than relying on incidental MagicMock defaults, which is good test hygiene and avoids masking intent.

Clear variable names (existing, existing_id), proper error handling (existing.get("id") defensively), appropriate logging at info level, no debug statements, no hardcoded values.

The logic properly branches: explicit `--update` skips the lookup, auto-detection only runs on the create path, and publish logic correctly respects the draft flag.

It doesn't mix concerns, reuses existing client methods (find_item_by_slug, update_item, publish_items), and maintains a clear separation between the three code paths (explicit update, auto-dedup, create).

Types are clear, method calls use correct argument order, error handling delegates to the client (appropriate trust boundary), logging is consistent with the existing style, no debug statements, no dead code, and the explicit update path remains untouched to avoid regression.

The logic flow is sound: explicit `--update` bypasses slug lookup, auto-dedup checks slug when creating, and publishes based on draft status. All edge cases in the tests pass (existing slug with/without draft, no existing slug, explicit update path).

The code reuses existing client methods (find_item_by_slug, update_item, publish_items). The pre-existing tests needed only one line each (mock_client.find_item_by_slug.return_value = None) to stay on the create path, which is an appropriate and minimal fix.

The code is idiomatic Python, all variables are named clearly, error handling is appropriate (the existing item dict is safely accessed with .get()), there are no magic numbers or hardcoded paths, and the intent is clear from the comment. Test names and assertions are explicit and cover happy path, no-match, draft behavior, and the existing explicit-update path.

The five new tests comprehensively verify the happy path (existing slug → update), the fallback (new slug → create), publishing behavior for both draft states, and that explicit updates bypass the lookup. All 36 tests pass.

The dry-run path correctly prints all requested metadata and flushes stdout.show moreThe dry-run path correctly prints all requested metadata and flushes stdout. The upload-success helper is called from all three paths (update-by-id, dedup-update, create) and prints mode, draft flag, item_id, and dashboard link when site_id is available. However, there's a potential issue: `_print_upload_success` is called with `result.get("id") or item_id` on the update path, but on the dedup path it uses `existing_id` directly, and on the create path it uses `created_id` — the type annotation allows `str | None` but the function doesn't handle None defensively when constructing the dashboard URL.

Minor issues: the `item_id: str | None` type hint allows None, but the function constructs a URL assuming it's present without explicit None check (though the `if site_id and item_id` guard does prevent the URL construction when item_id is None, the guard is indirect).

Strong implementation that robustly hardens the CLI with proper argument parsing, comprehensive error handling, and clear exit codes. Code is clean, well-structured, and would merge without objections

All error paths are properly handled: missing files (exit 3), non-file paths (exit 4), permission errors (exit 5), decode errors (exit 6), unknown encodings (exit 2), and other OSErrors (exit 7). The happy path preserves the original behavior—printing just the word count—and the implementation correctly uses argparse to handle CLI arguments and a new --encoding option.

The helper function `_build_parser()` is justified, and the docstrings are appropriate, but the seven distinct exit codes and extensive error handling could be considered thorough rather than minimal.
