Statement
YouTube embeds shall use a click-to-load facade pattern with build-time cached thumbnail images to prevent third-party data transfer before user interaction.
Rationale
GDPR compliance requires no third-party requests until explicit user action. The facade pattern with cached thumbnails satisfies this without degrading perceived performance. Delivered by PLN-1 (D-PLN1-01).
