## How to read

SRT is plain text — no converter needed.

```bash
# From Drive
gog drive download <FILE_ID> --out /tmp/sub.srt && cat /tmp/sub.srt

# Local file
cat file.srt
read_file path="file.srt"
```

## Parsed output (script)

```bash
cat file.srt | python3 scripts/parse-srt.py
```

Returns JSON array:
```json
[
  {"seq": 1, "start": "00:00:01,500", "end": "00:00:04,000", "text": "Hello"},
  {"seq": 2, "start": "00:00:05,000", "end": "00:00:08,500", "text": "Line one\\nLine two"}
]
```
