Fix API key guide with accurate step-by-step flow
Corrected based on actual Google Cloud Console experience: - Step 3 is now 'Create credentials' button on the API details page (not left sidebar) - Choose Public data → Next to generate the key - Key shown immediately on screen; can copy and use as-is - Optional restriction flow: Restrict key → type youtube → select API → OK → Save → Credentials sidebar → Show key Co-Authored-By: claude-flow <ruv@ruv.net>
