Problem

All generated projects were byte-for-byte identical because _generate_vanilla_main_js() ignored tutorial_steps and features parameters, returning hardcoded boilerplate regardless of video content. Project names defaulted to generic uvai-generated-project-XXXX pattern.

Changes

Template Generation

• _generate_vanilla_main_js() now embeds tutorial steps as comments and generates feature-specific code:

  // UVAI Generated JavaScript
  // This code was generated from video tutorial analysis
  
      // Tutorial Steps from Video:
      // 1. Create HTML structure
      // 2. Add event listeners
      // 3. Implement todo logic
  
  document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
      console.log('App loaded successfully');
      console.log('Tutorial steps:', 3);
      console.log('Features:', ["responsive_design"]);
      
      // Handle responsive design
      window.addEventListener('resize', () => {
          console.log('Window resized:', window.innerWidth);
      });
  });

AI Integration

• Added optional AICodeGenerator delegation via USE_AI_CODE_GENERATION=true environment variable
• ProjectCodeGenerator can now route to AI-powered generation when available
• Maintains backward compatibility with template-based generation as default

Project Naming

• _sanitize_name() now prefers video-derived names over generic fallback
• Projects named build-javascript-todo-app, create-javascript-calculator instead of uvai-generated-project-1234

Test Coverage

Added test_code_generator_unique_output.py verifying:

• Different vanilla JS videos produce unique main.js with video-specific comments
• Different React videos produce unique App.js with video-specific content
• Features affect generated code (API integration adds fetchData(), responsive design adds resize handlers)

<issue_title>🔴 code_generator.py falls back to identical vanilla template for every video</issue_title>
<issue_description>## Problem
All 11 uvai-generated-project-* repos contain byte-for-byte identical output. The ProjectCodeGenerator._generate_vanilla_js_project() ignores the extracted tutorial_steps, technologies, and features from the video analysis and generates the same boilerplate every time.

Root Cause

In src/youtube_extension/backend/code_generator.py:

• _generate_vanilla_main_js() returns a hardcoded string with generic messages regardless of input
• _generate_vanilla_index_html() lists 'Responsive Design' and 'Modern Ui' for every project
• The title defaults to 'UVAI Web App' / 'UVAI Generated Project' because extracted_info title is not being passed through

Evidence

• 11 repos created March 1-2, 2026 — all identical (verified via MD5 hash comparison)
• _generate_repo_name() sanitizes the default title to uvai-generated-project every time
• The 172KB ai_code_generator.py exists but is not wired into the vanilla JS path

Fix Required

1. Wire ai_code_generator.py into ALL code generation paths
2. Pass tutorial_steps into actual generated code — each video should produce unique output
3. Use extracted technologies to select the right framework instead of always falling back to vanilla
4. Generate meaningful title from video analysis, not a generic fallback

Acceptance Criteria

• Process two different videos → get meaningfully different code
• No more uvai-generated-project-XXXX naming — use video-derived names

Closing: superseded by PR #113 which ported the UUID suffix fix + _build_title helper from YOUTUBE-EXTENSION PR #706. The root cause (timestamp % 10000 collision + generic fallback title) is fixed.
