Description
AI Disclosure: DeltaScribe was written in concert with Antigravity-IDE (Gemini), and code reviewed by Claude and myself. This PR was largely built with Claude, with me reviewing and guiding it as it went as well as reviewing and making updates manually.
---
I'd been working on an independent personal project and realized it may also make the captions management for WordPress.tv significantly easier.
I mentioned it in Slack, and got some feedback from @nilovelez, and then figured I'd put together a prototype pr for how to integrate it with the wp.tv flow.
PR inbound on github!

Adds a "Caption with DeltaScribe" link on video pages as a second path into the existing subtitle contribution pipeline, alongside the current "Subtitle this video" upload flow.
A new bridge page collects the same username/email/language metadata as the existing flow, then redirects to a configurable DeltaScribe instance (client-side caption-timing tool) with the video preloaded. DeltaScribe POSTs finished captions back via a CORS-enabled endpoint, guarded by an HMAC-signed, expiring token embedded in the callback URL so no server-side session state is needed for the cross-origin request.
Submissions are stored with the same _wptv_submitted_subtitles postmeta shape the existing wordpresstv-upload-subtitles plugin uses, so they land in the same Media Library moderation queue with zero changes to the approval UI.
The DeltaScribe URL is admin-configurable (Settings -> General) rather than hardcoded, since this is an initial prototype and the instance is expected to move.
