A live smoke test of buildArgs' argv against the bundled yt-dlp + ffmpeg found
that ffprobe.exe was never bundled (resources/bin/ shipped only ffmpeg.exe).
yt-dlp resolves both from --ffmpeg-location, so duration-aware post-processing
failed at runtime for every user with "ffprobe not found": --sponsorblock-remove,
--force-keyframes-at-cuts, and --split-chapters (CODE-AUDIT C1).
- Bundle ffprobe.exe (matching n8.1.2 LGPL build, sha256-verified against the
already-bundled ffmpeg.exe) and document it in resources/bin/README.md as a
required binary; correct the stale "not committed to git" note.
- Guard startDownload against a missing ffmpeg.exe/ffprobe.exe up front so the
failure is a clear AeroFetch error, not a cryptic yt-dlp postprocessing one
(new getFfprobePath() in binaries.ts).
- Expand test/real-download.integration.test.ts from 2 to 8 live cases: crop,
sponsorblock-remove, audio opus re-encode, mkv+vp9 merge, subtitle+chapter
embed, restrict-filenames, download-archive skip, and Phase C extra-args.
All 8 pass against live yt-dlp + ffmpeg.
- ROADMAP: mark the Phase A/B/C smoke-test caveats done. CODE-AUDIT: add C1.

Implements the remaining Phase B (Access & networking) items from
ROADMAP.md: cookie sources (browser cookie-store import, or a built-in
sign-in window that exports a Netscape cookie file via a persisted Electron
session partition), the aria2c external downloader, proxy/rate-limit,
restrict-filenames, and a download-archive to skip repeats.
Wires download.ts to the buildArgs() module added in the previous commit
(it wasn't hooked up yet) and renames its options param
NetworkOptions -> AccessOptions to reflect the wider scope now that cookies
and filename/archive flags joined proxy/rate-limit/aria2c.

Stop ignoring resources/bin/*.exe and commit the binaries so clones are
self-contained (no manual binary drop needed).

Electron + React (Fluent UI) desktop frontend for yt-dlp:
- Download queue with live progress, concurrency cap, cancel/retry
- Format/quality picker via yt-dlp probe; audio extraction to MP3
- Settings + history persistence (electron-store / JSON)
- Clipboard link auto-detect; persisted light/dark theme
- NSIS + portable packaging (binaries bundled at build time, not in git)
UI: "Studio" sidebar layout with a toffee-brown theme (light + neutral dark).
Dropdowns use a native <select> and tooltips a CSS-only Hint, to avoid a
dev-machine GPU overlay flicker/blank issue.
