Description
Currently the n-Parameter deobfuscation is not working (we get an empty string for n).
We should check if this is still required and if so try to fix it.
Reference code (check if it works before porting)

Research direction
Start by locating the YouTube extractor code that handles n-parameter deobfuscation and reproduce the empty-string result. Compare the current behavior with the referenced yt-dlp and Invidious implementations, first checking whether the fix is still required. Done means valid n-parameter deobfuscation is restored if needed, with the relevant extractor checks passing.
