Otto a077ba9f03 fix(platform): YouTube block yields only error on failure (#11980)
## Summary

Fixes [SECRT-1889](https://linear.app/autogpt/issue/SECRT-1889): The
YouTube transcription block was yielding both `video_id` and `error`
when the transcript fetch failed.

## Problem

The block yielded `video_id` immediately upon extracting it from the
URL, before attempting to fetch the transcript. If the transcript fetch
failed, both outputs were present.

```python
# Before
video_id = self.extract_video_id(input_data.youtube_url)
yield "video_id", video_id  # ← Yielded before transcript attempt

transcript = self.get_transcript(video_id, credentials)  # ← Could fail here
```

## Solution

Wrap the entire operation in try/except and only yield outputs after all
operations succeed:

```python
# After
try:
    video_id = self.extract_video_id(input_data.youtube_url)
    transcript = self.get_transcript(video_id, credentials)
    transcript_text = self.format_transcript(transcript=transcript)

    # Only yield after all operations succeed
    yield "video_id", video_id
    yield "transcript", transcript_text
except Exception as e:
    yield "error", str(e)
```

This follows the established pattern in other blocks (e.g.,
`ai_image_generator_block.py`).

## Testing

- All 10 unit tests pass (`test/blocks/test_youtube.py`)
- Lint/format checks pass
