Subject: [PATCH 1/2] restore: verified scale stats + marketing copy
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Founder confirmed the production-scale numbers are real and the
original marketing copy is intentional — the prior cleanup pass was
over-aggressive. Restore:

- README.md: re-insert the "Powering 15M+ transcripts every month /
  500K+ transcripts processed daily / 49ms median response time"
  banner and the "Trusted in production by youtubetotranscript.com /
  recapio.com" line, directly after the badge block and before the
  first "---".
- README.md: re-insert the "Production scale (15M+ req/mo))" row into
  the comparison table, between "OAuth 2.1 + API key auth" and "Works
  on mobile Claude & web Claude" (same format as youtube-mcp's).
- smithery.yaml: re-insert "Production-scale (15M+ requests/month,
  49ms median)." before the OAuth/API key sentence.
- marketplace.json + .claude-plugin/marketplace.json: restore the
  short description tail to "...by TranscriptAPI: 15M+
  transcripts/month." (.cursor-plugin has no marketplace.json in this
  repo, and long descriptions are untouched).

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] fix: use middle dot separators in stats banner, not
 hyphens
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The verbatim pre-cleanup banner used "·" (U+00B7 middle dot) as the
separator, not " - ". Swap both occurrences on that one line back to
match exactly.
