Two complete UX features.
1. Streamer list is now drag-and-drop reorderable. The order is
persisted via the existing config.streamers save path, so it
survives a restart. The dragstart-then-click race that would
normally fire selectStreamer when the drag is released is
suppressed via a 50ms post-dragend window.
2. VOD cards each get a top-left checkbox. Selecting >=1 card opens
a sticky action bar above the grid with "+ Queue" and "Clear"
buttons. Bulk-add iterates the selected URLs and calls addToQueue
for each, with a single per-batch toast summarizing the outcome.
Selection is cleared on streamer switch (per-streamer mental
model) but not persisted across reloads (stale selection across
restarts is more confusing than helpful).
Implementation notes:
- Click-on-checkbox is handled by a single delegated listener on
vodGrid (initVodGridSelectionDelegation), not per-card inline
handlers. The card .selected class is toggled in place to avoid
re-rendering the entire grid on every check.
- Streamer items are rebuilt from createElement so the existing
`event.stopPropagation(); removeStreamer(...)` inline pattern
is replaced with a real listener; defends against unusual
characters in streamer names even though Cycle 4 added the
4-25-char alphanumeric regex.
- styles.css: position: relative on .vod-card for the absolute-
positioned checkbox; .selected ring highlight; .dragging
opacity for streamer drag.
- DE / EN locale strings for the bulk-bar; setText / updateBar
hook into applyLanguageToStaticUI so the bar count updates on
language switch.

Three small UX wins.
1. Auto-update: "Skip this version" button on the update modal.
Stores the dismissed version in localStorage; subsequent automatic
update-available events for the same version are silenced (banner
hidden, modal not opened). Manual "Check for updates" overrides the
skip so the user can change their mind. The flag is cleared once
the version is actually downloaded so a stale entry never masks a
future update. Skip button is hidden in the "ready to install"
state where it would not make sense.
2. addStreamer now validates against Twitch username rules
(4-25 chars, [a-zA-Z0-9_]). Previously bad input fell through to
the API and the user saw a silent "streamer not found" message
instead of being told the input was invalid.
3. Smart Queue Scheduler checkbox got a hover tooltip that explains
what enabling it actually does ("prefers shorter VODs and older
queue entries first"). Users were disabling it without knowing
what they were turning off.
DE + EN locale strings added for all three.

Adds a sort selector next to the existing filter input. Five modes:
newest first (default), oldest first, most viewed, longest first,
shortest first. Concrete user pain — long archives previously had no
way to find the longest stream, the most-watched, or to scroll back
to the start chronologically.
- vodSortKey state persisted to localStorage as
twitch-vod-manager:vod-sort and validated against an enum on load,
so an unknown stored value falls back to date_desc
- renderVodGridFromCurrentState now applies sortVods before
filterVodsByQuery so the filter sees the sort and the match counter
is consistent
- sortVods uses created_at timestamps for date sorts, view_count for
views, and a tiny vodDurationToSeconds parser (XhYmZs) for duration
- DE + EN labels for both the "Sort:" prefix and the five option
texts; refreshVodSortSelectLabels re-runs on language switch
- syncVodSortSelect on init preselects the persisted value before
any VOD load so the dropdown reflects state immediately
Browser-default keyboard nav (arrows, type-ahead) covers keyboard
access for the select.

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.

Add parallel_downloads config option (1 or 2) with Settings UI dropdown.
Refactor processQueue to run concurrent download slots using Promise.race,
extracting per-item logic into processOneQueueItem. Add per-item process
tracking via activeDownloads Map and cancelledItemIds Set so cancel/pause
correctly terminates all active downloads.
