Filter row above the VOD grid lets the user search the loaded archive
by title. Concrete user pain: streamers commonly have hundreds of VODs
and the current UI only supported scrolling.
- vodFilterInput / vodFilterClearBtn / vodFilterCount in index.html
- localized placeholder + clear-button title (DE + EN)
- vodFilterQuery state persisted to localStorage as
twitch-vod-manager:vod-filter so the search bar survives reloads
- renderVODs split: it now caches lastLoadedVods + lastLoadedStreamer
and delegates to renderVodGridFromCurrentState which applies
filterVodsByQuery on every input event (no re-fetch)
- empty-state DOM is now built with createElement + textContent (via
setVodGridEmptyState) instead of an innerHTML template, even for
locale-only strings — defence in depth
- keyboard: Ctrl/Cmd+F focuses the filter when the VODs tab is active
(Electron has no native find bar, so the default is suppressed). Esc
clears the filter when the input has focus and content. Esc still
closes modals first if any are open.

- loadConfig now checks isPlainObject(parsed) before spreading over
defaults. Non-object JSON (array, primitive, null) is logged and the
app falls back to defaults instead of silently polluting the config
with array indices or dropping values.
- loadQueue runs every entry through sanitizeQueueItem which validates
the status enum, clamps progress to [0, 100], validates customClip
and mergeGroup shapes (with sanitizeCustomClip / sanitizeMergeGroup
helpers), and demotes stale status="downloading" entries to "pending"
with progress=0 on cold start. The previous filter only checked
typeof id/url/status === "string" and let through whatever shape
customClip / mergeGroup happened to have.
- The stale-downloading normalisation fixes a real user trap: after a
hard kill mid-download, the queue persisted status="downloading", but
no download was running on next launch and start-download only resumed
paused items, leaving "downloading" entries stuck.
- Bonus: CustomClip and MergeGroupItem imports now have call sites
(previously unused-import warnings).
docs/IMPROVEMENT_LOG.md gains a Cycle 2 dated section.

Renderer-side polish bundle.
- updateQueueItemProgress now looks up items by [data-id] selector instead
of array index. Resilient against queue/DOM divergence between renders.
Determinate vs indeterminate progress logic tightened.
- Active tab persisted to localStorage on every showTab; restored on init
via loadPersistedActiveTab (whitelisted to known tab IDs so a future
rename cannot strand the user on a missing tab). Page title now only
shows the streamer name on the VODs tab — it no longer leaks into
Settings / Cutter / Merge.
- Escape closes the topmost open modal regardless of focus (clip dialog,
template guide, update modal — in that priority order).
- Ctrl+1..5 (Cmd+1..5 on macOS) jumps directly to a tab. The existing Del
(delete selected) and S (start/pause) shortcuts still work and remain
blocked while typing in inputs.
Adds docs/IMPROVEMENT_LOG.md (new, single dated section for this cycle).
Build: tsc clean. Full smoke suite green (failures: [], runtimeIssues: []).

Introduce a longer smoke-test-full workflow for validating queue, media tools, localization, and reliability flows in one pass, and document both quick and full test commands for contributors.
Download and extract streamlink/ffmpeg dependencies into ProgramData when unavailable so fresh server installs can start downloads without manual tool setup, while preserving detailed debug logging for failures.
Keep queue visibility synced while downloads run, show richer per-item progress/error states in the sidebar, and write backend downloader diagnostics to ProgramData debug.log so instant start/stop failures can be traced on user systems.
Allow streamer/VOD browsing without Twitch credentials via public GraphQL fallback, harden queue visibility by syncing renderer state with backend updates, and ship a comprehensive Astro/MDX documentation set similar to established downloader projects.
Create a separate docs project with Astro and MDX so product documentation can evolve independently from the Electron app while supporting the planned TS/MDX migration.
