# yt-dlp hardcodes the range of curl_cffi versions it will import and silently
# disables --impersonate when the installed version is outside it. Support for
# 0.16.x landed in yt-dlp 2026.08.19; older yt-dlp degrades with no error.
# Re-check this bound against yt_dlp/networking/_curlcffi.py on every bump.
