L46: Introduced YTDLP_MISSING_MSG constant in binaries.ts. All four callers
(download, indexer, probe, ytdlp) now emit the same user-facing string:
"yt-dlp.exe is missing. Open Settings -> Software update to re-download it."
This removes newline-embedded messages and four divergent phrasings.
L71: Removed readOnly from videoDir/audioDir folder inputs in SettingsView.
Added onChange handler so users can paste or type a path directly without
being forced to use the Browse button. The path still flows through
applySettings() in main, which validates it.
L74: Accent color swatches were triple-labeled (aria-pressed + aria-label +
title). Replaced with a single aria-label that embeds "(selected)" state,
plus title for the hover tooltip. Removed the incorrect aria-pressed
(these are selection buttons, not toggles).
typecheck + 242 tests green.

- Taskbar progress bar: renderer pushes summarizeQueue aggregate over a new
taskbar:progress channel (App store subscription); setProgressBar normal/error
- System tray (src/main/tray.ts) + minimize-to-tray (Settings.minimizeToTray);
close hides to tray, isQuitting guards real exits; icon via getAppIconPath()
(build/icon.ico added to extraResources)
- Jump list: app.setUserTasks "Open AeroFetch" (thumbnail toolbar deferred)
- Settings search: filters the ~11 SettingsView cards live by text match
Overlay badge deferred (needs a drawn NativeImage). typecheck + test (192) +
build all clean. Roadmap: Phase O COMPLETE.

yt-dlp is now a managed, auto-updating binary rather than a static bundled
one. On launch AeroFetch seeds a writable copy under userData from the
bundled seed, self-heals it if it goes missing, and — throttled to once a
day — self-updates it to the configured channel (default: nightly). This
keeps the binary current so YouTube changes don't silently cause 403s, and
an app reinstall (or portable re-extraction) can no longer roll it back.
Settings shows an auto-update toggle, the live version, last-checked time,
and the channel selector.
Also surface the bundled ffmpeg/ffprobe versions in Settings (display only:
they have no self-update path and, unlike yt-dlp, don't break as sites
change, so there is no auto-update for them).
- binaries: split the read-only bundled seed from the managed userData copy
- ytdlp: ensureManagedYtdlp (seed + self-heal), startup auto-update runner
- ytdlpPolicy: pure once-a-day throttle decision (unit-tested)
- ffmpeg: parse ffmpeg/ffprobe -version for the Settings panel
- settings/ipc/preload/renderer: new settings, IPC channels, types, and UI

Seven-tier security audit of the main process, each finding fixed with a
regression test. Typecheck (node + web) clean; unit tests 106 -> 140.
- Tier 1 (command exec/argv): allowlist the yt-dlp --update-to channel
(blocks arbitrary-binary-install RCE); gate per-download extraArgs behind
the customCommandEnabled consent flag in main (blocks --exec RCE); resolve
taskkill/schtasks by absolute System32 path; validate per-download
outputDir; normalize the URL in assertHttpUrl and use it at every spawn.
- Tier 2 (input validation): fix isSafeFilenameTemplate drive-relative
('C:foo') and Windows dotted-'..' traversal bypasses; percent-encode the
untrusted id in entryUrl; catch reserved device names with extensions in
sanitizeDirSegment.
- Tier 3 (fs/backup): drop malformed template rows in importBackup;
normalize deep-link URLs via assertHttpUrl.
- Tier 4 (cookies): confine the sign-in window's navigations/popups to web
URLs (recursively) and deny all web permissions on its session.
- Tier 5 (deep-link/argv): bound the .url file read to 64 KB; match the
aerofetch:// scheme case-insensitively.
- Tier 6 (Electron window): deny camera/mic/geolocation/USB/HID/serial/
Bluetooth permissions on the app window.
- Tier 7 (network/persistence): restrict the watched-source RSS fetch to
youtube.com feed URLs (SSRF guard); complete isValidSource validation.

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.

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.
