By the way, would it be possible to share how the issue was resolved on your end?

Hello. I have tested this and it indeed looks for yt-dlp at the beginning even though the site is not a video platform. I have logged the issue on GitHub and working on a fix. Thank you for the feedback!

I haven't tried. Would you be able to share some links so I could test?

I needed a lightweight way to archive documentation from a website. wget and similar tools failed to clone the site reliably (missing assets, broken links, etc.), so I ended up building a full website-cloning tool using Node.js + Puppeteer.Repo: https://github.com/jademsee/webcloneFeedback, issues, and PRs are very welcome.
