Update yt-dlp to 2026.07.04 and refresh the bundled macOS runtime plus engine locks.
Route every non-media download through aria2 by removing the native HTTP fallback path, native GID handling, and the old direct-download harness.
Retry transient aria2 startup/RPC failures before failing, then show the real last error in the download row and Properties modal so Windows failures are diagnosable instead of silent.
Refresh docs and tests around the aria2-only file-download contract, and advance the Firefox extension submodule to its published wording cleanup.
