- Move yt-dlp and ffmpeg binaries into Sources/Firelink and update Package.swift to copy them as bundle resources. - Remove dynamic downloading logic for yt-dlp and ffmpeg from MediaEngineManager.swift and delete obsolete BinaryDownloader.swift and GatekeeperConfig.swift. - Update EngineSettingsPane.swift to remove the auto-updater UI, verify icons, and spinners. - Fix a bug where calling Add Downloads via the browser extension would open two duplicate windows by changing the window group to a single-instance Window. - Adjust minHeight of AddDownloadsView to prevent the preview section from being cut out without scrolling.
