## Features Implemented

### Core Functionality
✅ Channel resolution (Odysee URL, LBRY URI, claim ID)
✅ Incremental sync (only new/changed content)
✅ Version tracking (sd_hash, stream_hash, txid fallback)
✅ Atomic state writes (prevents corruption)
✅ Run history logging (JSONL format)
✅ Dry-run mode (test without downloading)
✅ Configurable YAML configuration
✅ Comprehensive logging
✅ Error handling and recovery

### Download Management
✅ Structured folder layout (channel/claim/version)
✅ **Per-channel download paths** - Custom location per channel
✅ Metadata preservation (metadata.json, download.json)
✅ Checksum generation (SHA256)
✅ File verification
✅ Missing file redownload
✅ Repost filtering (optional)

### Quality & Testing
✅ 42 unit tests (all passing)
✅ Type hints throughout
✅ Clear error messages
✅ Input validation
✅ Path sanitization
✅ Atomic operations

## Architecture Highlights

### Design Principles
- **Daemon-first**: Uses local lbrynet, not HTML scraping
- **Identity-stable**: claim_id + sd_hash, not titles/names
- **Version-preserving**: Keeps old versions, doesn't overwrite
- **State-driven**: Persistent database for incremental sync
- **Atomic writes**: State updates are crash-safe
