Use this FIRST when the user names a platform they want to stream to ("put this on YouTube", "also send it to Twitch") and there is no destination for it yet. Returns, for that platform: the connection methods, the exact `ingestUrl` to pass to create_rtmp_destination (or null when the platform issues one per session), what each method can and cannot do afterwards, the Streamloop tools to call in order, where in the platform's own UI the user finds the stream key, and the behaviour that otherwise ends a 24/7 loop early. NEVER guess an ingest url — a wrong host is a stream that silently never connects. Static guidance: it reads nothing, changes nothing and costs nothing. YouTube in particular has TWO answers and they are not equivalent: a managed connection (Google consent, and only then can titles, privacy, thumbnails and viewer counts be managed from here) or a plain stream key (video only).
