Pointers to unidentified videos

Passages that point at an earlier video, but the annotator did not name which one. Where the build guessed a target from the date words, the guess is shown as unverified and is not counted as an edge elsewhere in this slice.

Overview

The linker column is a derivation (poc/build/linker.py, no annotation): it reads the date words ("yesterday", a weekday, "last week", "last video", "a year ago"), whose video it is ("your" → the other brother, "my" → the speaker) and title words, in upload order from the registry, and accepts a target only when exactly one earlier video fits. Pointers it resolved are counted as edges, marked derived, and listed at the end.
