In `@src/invidious/channels/channels.cr`:
- Line 182: Update the channel import path that writes video.published so
browse-derived relative or fallback timestamps are not stored as exact
publication times. Obtain an exact publication time for new records, or mark
browse-derived times as provisional so a later refresh can replace them.
- Line 175: Update fetch_channel to fetch Shorts through an
InvidiousChannel-compatible path, paginate them during full refreshes, and merge
their SearchVideo results with get_videos before the existing insert and
notification flow so Shorts are included in channel_videos and subscription
feeds.

In `@src/invidious/channels/channels.cr`:
- Line 202: Update the channel refresh pagination loops that use the 25-item
cutoff, including the cutoff alongside `IV::Channel::Tabs`. Continue fetching
pages while a continuation token is present and stop only when the token is nil;
do not use the number of parsed videos to determine exhaustion.
- Around line 284-287: Update fetch_video_published_at to search the results
contents array for the first videoPrimaryInfoRenderer and read its
dateText.simpleText, rather than assuming the renderer is at index 0. Preserve
the existing nil behavior when no renderer or date is present.
In `@src/invidious/database/channels.cr`:
- Line 111: Update `updated_on_conflict` so its timestamp condition depends only
on metadata changes, excluding the `views` comparison. Keep view-count updates
independent of `updated`, preserving the existing zero-view handling.

How was AI used?
AI was used for the parts of the implementation scaffolding, running specs/lint/build verification, and drafting this PR description. The core logic (the Innertube-based channel refresh approach, timestamp-preservation handling, and the NotFoundException handling for terminated channels) was designed and written manually by me; AI assisted with implementation details around that core logic
