The vodSortSelect + the 3 archive-search selects all sat OUTSIDE
the .form-group container, which meant the existing
.form-group select rule did not apply to them. Each carried the
same ~110 chars of inline style hard-coding bg / border / radius /
padding / color.
Extracted to a shared .select-compact class (6px radius, 7px
padding, var(--bg-card) base, var(--border-soft) border) and
swapped all four call sites. Visual consistency between the
filter-row select in the VODs tab and the multi-select control
strip in the Archive search — same heights, same border treatment.
Minor visual change for the 3 archive selects (4px -> 6px
border-radius, 6px -> 7px vertical padding) so the controls now
match the rest of the apps button + input family. Worth the 1px
delta for the consistency.

When mergeFiles is empty, the renderer dropped an inline-styled
innerHTML template into #mergeFileList:
<div class="empty-state" style="padding: 40px 20px;">
<svg style="opacity:0.3" ...><path ...></svg>
<p style="margin-top:10px">${UI_TEXT.merge.empty}</p>
</div>
Three issues:
- innerHTML interpolating a locale string (lint hook flags pattern
even though locale strings are app-controlled)
- Inline styles for padding / opacity / margin
- The same SVG icon as the static HTML, duplicated
Built via createElement + createElementNS for the SVG namespace, so
the renderer never touches innerHTML for this branch. Styling moved
to a .merge-empty-state class that scopes the padding override
(needed because the merge file-list sits in a settings-card with
its own padding) without leaking into the global .empty-state used
by the VOD grid.

Two more click-only divs in the queue item template were leaving
keyboard users stuck:
- .queue-selector — the "X" number-badge to the left of pending
queue items that toggles bulk-select. Previously a div with onclick.
Now role="checkbox" + tabindex + aria-checked tracking the selection
state + Enter/Space keydown handler.
- .queue-item .title — the truncated VOD title that, when clicked,
toggles the expanded detail panel underneath the row. Previously
a div with onclick. Now role="button" + tabindex +
aria-expanded reflecting the panel state + aria-controls pointing
at the details panel ID + Enter/Space keydown handler.
Both pick up 2px purple focus-visible rings to match the rest of
the a11y family.
aria-expanded on a button is the conventional pattern for
"disclosure widget" controls (collapsible/expandable content),
so screen readers will now announce the title as "VOD title,
button, collapsed" or "expanded" as the user navigates and toggles.

Two click-only divs in the new profile header (4.6.17+) had no
keyboard equivalent:
- .streamer-profile-avatar-wrap (clicking the avatar opens the
channel on twitch.tv) — the only way to trigger that action
besides the "Open on Twitch" button in the action column, so
keyboard users were missing a primary affordance
- .streamer-profile-live-card (clicking anywhere on the live
preview card starts a live recording) — the embedded Record-now
button inside the card already covered keyboard activation, so
this one is more about completeness than necessity
Both got:
- role="button" + tabindex="0"
- aria-label = the existing tooltip locale string (so AT reads
the same text shown to sighted users on hover)
- An inline onkeydown that re-fires the same onclick handler on
Enter / Space. The live-card additionally checks
event.target === event.currentTarget so a focused inner button
pressing Enter doesn't double-fire the wrapper handler
CSS adds focus-visible rings:
- Purple ring on the avatar wrap (matching the existing avatar's
purple border)
- Red ring + glow on the live card (matching the existing card
border colour)

Following the chip + row + nav a11y passes, the VOD cards in the
main grid were the last big mouse-only surface in the sidebar +
main panel flow. Each card already delegated click via a single
vodGrid handler — but the card div itself was unfocusable, so a
keyboard user could only reach the +Queue / Trim VOD buttons
inside, never the card thumbnail click that opens the VOD page on
Twitch.
Added on each .vod-card:
- role="button" + tabindex="0"
- aria-label set to the VOD title so AT announces it correctly
("32h37m9s VOD: Cyborg Watchparty button") instead of reading
the whole card content row by row
Added to the existing delegated vodGrid handler:
- A keydown branch that opens the VOD on Twitch when Enter / Space
fires on a focused .vod-card and the event target is the card
itself (not a child action button or checkbox — those have
their own native button / checkbox semantics that handle Enter
/ Space correctly already)
CSS adds a 3px purple focus-visible ring + accent-coloured border
on the focused card, mirroring the hover state's purple glow.
Tab order through the VOD grid now goes: VOD card -> checkbox -> Trim
button -> +Queue button -> next VOD card. Predictable enough for
keyboard navigation through a 38-VOD streamer profile.

The previous a11y pass made all four chip-buttons inside a streamer
row (AUTO / VOD / REC / remove) keyboard-accessible, but the row
itself — the parent .streamer-item div whose click selects the
streamer — was still mouse-only. A keyboard user could focus the
chips but never the row, so they could never select a streamer
without a mouse.
Made the row a focusable role="button":
- role + tabindex on the .streamer-item div
- aria-label set to the streamer's name (so AT announces "xrohat
button" rather than reading every chip child)
- aria-current="true" on the currently selected row (mirroring
the visual .active state) so AT understands which row is the
current selection
- A keydown handler on the row that fires selectStreamer on
Enter / Space, but ONLY when the row itself (not a chip child)
is the event target. The chips already preventDefault +
stopPropagation on their own keydowns so they never reach this
handler — and even if they did, the e.target check guards.
Focus-visible adds an inset 2px purple ring (inset to match the
row's left-border-marker styling for the active state). Tab order
through the sidebar is now: nav-items → streamer row → AUTO →
VOD → REC → remove-X → next streamer row.

All 7 sidebar nav-items (Twitch VODs / Clips / Cutter / Merge /
Statistik / Archiv / Einstellungen) were plain `<div class="nav-item">`
elements with only an onclick. Same a11y story as the previous two
iterations: no role, no tabindex, no semantic active-state marker,
no keyboard activation.
Added on each nav item:
- role="button" and tabindex="0" so they enter the tab order and
read as activatable buttons to assistive tech
- aria-current="page" applied to the active item, removed from the
others — both managed in showTab() since that's the single
switch point for active-state transitions
- A delegated keydown handler on the .nav container (one listener,
not seven) that fires showTab on Enter / Space for whatever
nav-item descendant is currently focused. Bound once with a
data-keynav-bound guard so init() re-running doesn't double-bind
CSS adds a 2px purple focus-visible ring matching the rest of the
keyboard-focus family added in 4.6.50 and 4.6.51.
WCAG 2.1 success criterion 2.1.1 (Keyboard) — every interactive
element activated by keyboard.

The three streamer-row action chips (AUTO toggle, VOD toggle, REC
one-shot) were spans wired only with click listeners. Same a11y
gap as the .remove X chips in 4.6.50: no role, no tabindex, no
keyboard activation, no semantic state for toggles. Screen readers
read them as raw text "AUTO", "VOD", "REC" with no clue they were
interactive controls.
Factored a wireChipButton helper inside renderStreamers and ran all
three chips through it. The helper stamps:
- role="button" + tabindex="0"
- aria-label (locale-driven, picked up the existing
autoRecordTitle / autoVodTitle / recordLiveTitle locale keys
that were previously only used for the visual title-tooltip)
- aria-pressed="true"/"false" for the AUTO and VOD toggles so
AT announces the on/off state
- A keydown handler that synthesises the same click handler on
Enter / Space and stops propagation so the row's click handler
(streamer-select) does not also fire
CSS adds three focus-visible rings (green for AUTO, blue for VOD,
red for REC) matching each chips active-state colour palette.
Keyboard navigators tabbing through a streamer item now see the
ring on the focused chip clearly.

The two `<span class="remove">x</span>` glyphs (one per queue
item, one per streamer-list item) had no semantic role, no
aria-label, no tabindex — entirely mouse-only and screen-readers
just announced them as the bare "x" character.
Made both fully keyboard-accessible:
- role="button" + tabindex="0" so they enter the tab order and
read as buttons to AT
- aria-label="Remove" / "Entfernen" via new
streamers.removeAria locale key (DE + EN)
- Keydown handler on Enter + Space synthesizes the same removal
callback (mirroring native button behaviour for synthetic
buttons — Enter on real buttons fires click, Space does too)
- Focus-visible state: 2px red glow ring + force opacity:1 on
the streamer-list .remove (which is normally opacity:0 until
the streamer-item is hovered) so keyboard navigators can see
the focused X
Both call sites preserved e.stopPropagation in the keydown handler
so Enter on a focused X doesn't bubble up to the row's click
handler (which would trigger streamer-select).

Three queue-item detail labels were hardcoded German in the
renderer's HTML template: "Streamer:" / "Dauer:" / "Datum:". The
queue-details panel that expands when a user clicks a queue items
title would render these labels in German regardless of the
selected locale — same i18n gap as the empty states fixed in
4.6.37.
Added queue.detailStreamer / detailDuration / detailDate to both
locale tables ("Streamer:" / "Duration:" / "Date:" in EN,
"Streamer:" / "Dauer:" / "Datum:" in DE) and wrapped the labels
in a .queue-detail-label span so the colour distinction between
label and value (secondary vs primary text colour) is consistent.
The error-state retry button was a span with five inline-style
props and a unicode ↻ as its glyph — visually drab and not really
a button semantically (screen reader read it as text). Promoted
to a real <button class="queue-retry-btn"> with a proper hover
state (purple-tinted background + accent border + white text +
active-press scale-down). Subtler than .btn-pill but obviously
clickable.
Cursor:pointer on .queue-item .title moved from inline style on
the HTML template to the CSS rule — same effect, one less
attribute per queue item.

The update banner that shows during an auto-update download was
hosting three inline-styled divs in a row for its progress
indicator:
<div style="display: none; flex: 1; margin: 0 15px;">
<div style="background: rgba(0,0,0,0.3); border-radius: 4px;
height: 8px; overflow: hidden;">
<div id="updateProgressBar"
style="background: white; height: 100%; width: 0%;
transition: width 0.3s;">
Renderer-updates.ts kept reaching in to mutate
updateProgressBar.style.width as the download advanced — works,
but the bar's static look-and-feel (rounded, dark track, 8px tall,
white fill, 0.3s transition) was buried in HTML attributes
instead of CSS.
Extracted to:
- .update-banner-progress-wrap (the flex:1 container with side
margin)
- .update-banner-progress-track (the rounded dark track)
- .update-banner-progress-bar (the white fill, 0% default, transition)
The JS continues to drive width via style.width, which now layers
on top of the class's transition for the smooth animation. Zero
visual change.

Two separate places (Settings filename templates + clip-cutter
modal custom template) had their own lint state. Each set the
colour by JS as `lintNode.style.color = "#8bc34a"` (green for OK)
or `"#ff8a80"` (red for unknown placeholder). Same intent, different
implementations, different shades than the rest of the app
(--success #00c853 + --error #ff4444).
Extracted to a shared .template-lint class with .ok / .warn modifiers
driven by the canonical CSS vars. The renderers now swap classNames
instead of inline colours.
Also picked up the stale `color: #888` on filenameTemplateHint and
replaced with the existing .form-note utility class (which uses
var(--text-secondary)).
The old .clip-template-lint rule stays as a no-op alias for safety,
but its hard-coded #8bc34a is removed — colour now comes from
.template-lint.ok / .warn. Three hard-coded hex literals retired,
two state branches consolidated, semantics now track the global
palette.

The "Hide downloaded" checkbox in the VOD filter row was carrying
the inline style:
display:flex; align-items:center; gap:6px;
color: var(--text-secondary); font-size:12px;
cursor:pointer; user-select:none
This is a distinct visual variant of the existing .toggle-row class
(filter-row context, smaller gap, smaller font, secondary text
color) so a separate .inline-toggle class is the cleaner fit
rather than overloading .toggle-row with another modifier.
One site cleaned up now, the class is reusable for future
tool-row inline toggles without copy-pasting the seven inline
properties.

Reported via screenshot against 4.6.44. The Twitch-style "32h37m9s"
duration pill introduced in 4.6.20 was anchored at bottom: 8px right:
8px inside .vod-card. But .vod-card is the WHOLE card — thumbnail
plus info + action buttons row below — so the badge sat at the
bottom-right of that whole stack, landing on top of the rightmost
action button ("+ Queue") and obscuring it. The user couldnt click
through the badge.
Fix wraps the .vod-thumbnail in a .vod-thumb-wrap div with
position:relative so the badge's absolute positioning anchors to
the thumbnail's bounding box. The badge now sits at the bottom-
right of the actual image, exactly where the Twitch convention
puts it.
.vod-thumb-wrap also gets line-height: 0 to kill the inline
baseline whitespace that would otherwise show as a thin gap
between the image and the .vod-info section below.
The storyboard hover preview overlay (renderer-vod-hover.ts) is
unaffected — it still appendChild's into .vod-card and uses
aspect-ratio: 16/9 to size itself, which matches the thumbnail
zone above the .vod-thumb-wrap container exactly. Verified end-to-
end pass.

The Settings tab has 17 checkbox toggles, each wrapping the input +
its label in a `<label style="display:flex; align-items:center;
gap:8px; margin-top: 8px;">`. The first toggle in a group skipped
the margin-top; one indented sub-toggle added margin-left: 22px.
All 18 sites were carrying the same ~50 chars of inline style.
Extracted to .toggle-row + the adjacent-sibling combinator
.toggle-row + .toggle-row { margin-top: 8px }, which automatically
adds the gap between consecutive toggles without needing the
per-instance override. The one indented case becomes
.toggle-row.indented (single rule, single margin-left).
Replacements done via Edit with replace_all (13 + 2 + 1 = 16
exact-match replacements + the one manual indented variant). Zero
visual change.
This will pay off on the next Settings card that adds a toggle —
class="toggle-row" is six characters of meaning vs the previous
~50 character inline-style copy-paste.

The sidebar queue empty state was built via inline-style HTML
template: `<div style="color: var(--text-secondary); font-size:
12px; text-align: center; padding: 15px;">${UI_TEXT.queue.empty}
</div>`. Worked but had two issues:
1. Flat plain-text styling that did not match the
.streamer-list-empty card-style empty hint sitting directly
above it in the same sidebar — visually inconsistent.
2. innerHTML interpolation of a locale string. The string is
safe (locale-controlled, not user input), but the lint hook
pattern-matches innerHTML use anyway, leaving the file flagged
on every audit pass.
Rebuilt via createElement / textContent so no innerHTML touches
the locale string, and extracted the styling into a .queue-empty
CSS class that mirrors the .streamer-list-empty card look
(dashed border + tinted bg + 6px radius + centred text). The two
sidebar empty states now read as a family instead of two
unrelated takes on "empty".

Audit turned up two ~6-occurrence inline-style patterns in Settings:
- `style="font-size:12px; color:var(--text-secondary);"` on small
sub-labels above stacked inputs (autoCleanupDaysLabel,
TargetLabel, ActionLabel, autoVodPollMinutesLabel,
autoVodMaxAgeHoursLabel, statsLastScannedLabel)
- `style="display:flex; flex-direction:column; gap:4px; flex:1;
min-width:NNNpx;"` on labels that wrap a sublabel + control as a
vertical pair in a flex row (3 of these in the auto-cleanup
grid)
Both lifted to .form-sublabel and .form-stack utility classes.
Plus a .form-note for block-level secondary-coloured text (the
cleanupReport "X files would be freed" panel). The min-width
values stay inline since they vary per call site (120 / 160 / 200).
Zero visual change — the class values match what was inline.
Future edits to "what does a small label look like" go through
one selector instead of grep + sed across six sites.

renderStorageStats was building the storage-stats table in
Einstellungen by setting ~10 style props per element with
.style.padding / .style.color / .style.borderBottom / etc. Verbose
in TypeScript and harder to retheme than CSS-class-based markup.
Extracted to .storage-stats-table family in styles.css:
- Header cells become uppercase 10px tracking-wide labels (matches
the look of the .vod-bulk-count "X selected" label and the
archive search type-pill chips)
- Body rows pick up a hover-background tint for scannability
- Numbers use font-variant-numeric: tabular-nums so file counts
and byte sizes don't jitter as values change between scans
- Last row drops the bottom border so the table doesn't end on
a dangling line
Open-folder button was using .btn-secondary with inline font-size
+ padding overrides — swapped to the .btn-pill class, which is
already the small/compact action button used in vod-bulk-bar and
the archive search results. Visual consistency across the app.
The "Other folders" subheading (.storage-stats-section) gets the
same uppercase-tracking look as the table headers — small
consistency win that ties the section together visually.

The bottom status-bar version span had "v4.1.13" hardcoded as initial
content from a release several versions ago. init() overwrites it via
window.api.getVersion() on app boot, so the user only ever sees this
for the millisecond between paint and IPC return — but during that
window we were lying about the version, and if init() ever crashed
the user would be stuck looking at v4.1.13 in the corner forever.
Cleared the initial content to empty so the span just doesn't render
text until the real version arrives.
Side effect: extracted the inline `style="color:var(--text-secondary);
font-size:12px; margin-left:auto; padding-right:12px"` from
statusBarQueueSummary to a .status-bar-queue-summary class, plus a
new .status-bar-version class for the version pill. Both consistent
with the rest of the status-bar styling. Bonus: queue summary picks
up font-variant-numeric: tabular-nums so the "X B | Y avg | Z done"
numbers don't jitter horizontally as values update during a
download.

First-launch (or after-clearing-everything) opens the app with an
empty sidebar streamer list — just the "Streamer" section heading
and a blank area below. New users had no in-app indication of where
to add their first streamer. The "Add streamer..." input lives in
the TOP bar, which is non-obvious from the sidebar context.
renderStreamers now short-circuits on empty streamers[] and stamps
a small dashed-border hint card into the list with locale-driven
copy pointing the user at the top-right input ("No streamers yet.
Add one via the input at the top right." / "Noch keine Streamer.
Fuege oben rechts einen hinzu.").
The empty state styling (.streamer-list-empty) is intentionally
subtler than the full-page .empty-state used for the VOD grid —
dashed border + tinted background + small padding so it fits the
narrow sidebar rail without dominating it.
Also clears the streamer-section-counter on this branch and hides
the bulk-remove X button, since both would otherwise have stale
state from a previous non-empty render.

renderEventsList was painting every timeline row with ~7 inline
style props per element (padding, border-bottom, font-size on the
row; margin-right, color on each span; padding-top on detail) AND
keeping a JS-side colour map per event type. For a chatty recording
with 100+ events the inline-style noise added up, and adding a new
event type meant editing the renderer to extend the map.
Extracted:
- .event-viewer-row picks up the padding + bottom border + font-size
- .event-viewer-time gets the secondary colour + monospace stack
- .event-viewer-tag becomes an actual pill (uppercase, letter-
spacing, rounded background tint, bordered) — visually consistent
with the chat viewer's [type] chip tag
- .event-viewer-detail handles the row-detail line spacing
Per-type colour is now driven by CSS [data-type="..."] attribute
selectors (recording_start = green, recording_end = purple,
recording_resume = blue, title_change = amber, game_change = red).
Each variant overrides background + border + text colour to give
each tag a contained "pill" look. The renderer just stamps
ev.type onto data-type and the CSS handles the rest.
Adding a new event type now means one new selector here, not a JS
map edit. Lint, focus, future polish all stay near the styling.

Five filter-style text inputs (vodFilterInput, streamerListFilter,
archiveSearchQuery, chatViewerFilter) plus three monospace template
inputs (vod / parts / clip filename templates) were each carrying
their own ~80 chars of inline style declaring near-identical
background / border / radius / padding combinations.
Consolidated into three new utility classes:
- .filter-input — base flex-1 minWidth-180 filter look, used by
vodFilterInput
- .filter-input.compact — small variant for the sidebar streamer
filter (smaller padding, smaller font, no flex, percent-width
with margin)
- .filter-input.flex-1-1-240 — larger variant for the archive
search box (240px basis, 200px min, smaller radius/padding to
fit the multi-control form-row it sits in)
- .input-monospace — applies the same monospace stack (Consolas /
Segoe UI Mono / monospace) used by .chat-viewer-time and
.viewer-modal-list-chat to text inputs that hold code-shaped
values
Side effect: vodHideDownloadedToggle had a hardcoded
`accent-color: var(--accent); cursor:pointer;` inline style, which
was redundant after the global custom-checkbox styling landed in
4.6.26 (the checkbox is now ::after-driven, accent-color does
nothing). Removed.
Zero visual change. The inputs render identically because the
class CSS values match what was inline.

The events-viewer and chat-viewer modals were each carrying ~5 inline
styled elements (modal sizing, status text, list container, filter
row + filter input) duplicated between the two modals. Edits to one
viewer left the other drifting visually.
Extracted to a shared .viewer-modal* family in styles.css:
- .viewer-modal sets the column flex layout
- .viewer-modal-events / .viewer-modal-chat set their own sizing
- .viewer-modal-title / .viewer-modal-status / .viewer-modal-list +
inline + chat list variants for the data area
- .viewer-modal-filter-row + .viewer-modal-filter-input for the
chat viewer's filter
Zero visual change; just stops the two viewers from drifting and
unblocks future polish (skeleton states inside the list, sticky
filter row, etc.) without an inline-edit-by-inline-edit grind.
Side: removed lastArchiveStatsScannedAt module variable in
renderer-stats.ts. It was assigned in refreshArchiveStats but never
read anywhere — leftover from an early plan to compare against a
previous timestamp before refreshing. The renderer-rendered "Last
scan" line reads stats.scannedAt directly. Dead, removed.

Two interrelated changes shipped together.
Clip-cutter modal cleanup. The "VOD zuschneiden" modal was the last
big surface still painted in the apps PRE-purple colour palette:
hardcoded #2b2b2b modal bg, #E5A00D orange title, #1a1a1a slider
tracks (already overridden by the global rule but inline-styles still
sat there), #333 input bgs, #444 borders, plain "white" text, #888
labels, #aaa radio labels. All of it inline. The result: opening the
clip dialog was visually jumping back two themes.
Extracted everything to class-based styles using var() colours:
- .clip-modal* family of classes for layout
- Title now uses var(--text), no orange
- Inputs use var(--bg-elevated) + var(--border-soft) and pick up
the global focus ring automatically
- The duration display ("Dauer: 00:01:00") now sits in a small
green-tinted card to make it visually distinct from the input
rows around it
- Radio labels go through a unified .clip-radio-row with a hover
background tint, and the :has(input:checked) selector swaps the
label text colour + weight when a radio is selected
Global radio button styling. The clip modal had four radio buttons
that were the only non-OS-themed control left in the app. Custom
.appearance:none + ::after-driven dot styling matching the new
checkbox visual: 16px circle, 1.5px border, hover purple tint,
checked fills the inner circle with the accent colour + a soft
purple shadow, focus-visible has the same 3px purple ring as every
other form control. Cascades globally so any future radio gets the
treatment for free.

The bulk-action bar (the purple-tinted row that appears between the
VOD filter and the grid when 1+ VOD checkbox is ticked) was 100%
inline-styled in HTML, which meant:
- No animation when it appears — it just popped into existence
- No reusable styling for similar action surfaces later
- Layout debugging meant editing HTML, not CSS
Extracted to a proper .vod-bulk-bar class, plus .vod-bulk-count for
the "N selected" label and a .vod-bulk-spacer for the flex push.
The CSS rule also picks up a 4px soft purple shadow + a slightly
richer gradient background that matches the rest of the purple
surfaces in the app.
Animation: vod-bulk-bar-slide @keyframes fires every time the JS
flips display:none -> display:flex, because @keyframes restart on
each display change. 220ms, cubic-bezier(0.16, 1, 0.3, 1) for a
quick spring landing, 10px translateY-from + opacity 0->1. The
appear feels intentional now instead of jarring.
Disappear (display:flex -> none) still snaps because CSS cannot
transition through display:none — adding that would require a
class-toggle refactor and an explicit timer to defer the actual
removal. Not worth the complexity for the polish-grade improvement
this is going for.

Active streamer state in the sidebar was a flat purple-tinted
background with a 3px left border. Felt slightly weak as the primary
"this is what you're looking at" affordance, especially with the
similarly-tinted hover state immediately next to it.
Bumped to:
- Gradient background fading purple-strong to purple-faint across
the row, so the active item has a directional emphasis matching
the rest of the Twitch-purple language.
- 1px inset purple ring on top so the active state reads as a
clearly-bordered card, not just a tinted background.
- A small purple right-edge marker (3px wide, 60% tall, centered)
drawn via ::after — mirrors the existing left border and makes
the selected row feel "framed".
- Streamer name in the active row goes 600 weight so the identity
pops over the meta toggles next to it.
Cleanup side: the old generic ::-webkit-scrollbar rule block from
the early days of the app was still in the file at line 1497, even
though the newer purple-themed *::-webkit-scrollbar block further
down has been overriding it for several releases (later wins on
identical specificity). Replaced the old block with a one-line
comment explaining where the live rule lives, so the next person
greping for "scrollbar" doesn't get a misleading hit.

Two leftover form-control oddities from the audit.
Range sliders (used in the clip-cutter modal and any future
slider-group settings) had a stale orange thumb colour (#E5A00D) from
when the app was a different shade of Twitch. Reskinned to the
current purple family: track gets a subtle purple-to-dark gradient
that visually echoes the queue progress bar, thumb is a 16px purple
circle with a 2px white border and a soft shadow, hover scales the
thumb 1.15x and turns the shadow into a purple halo for the "I can
grab this" affordance. Focus-visible adds the same 3px purple ring
the rest of the form controls use, so keyboard tabbing through a
modal lands on a clearly-focused slider. Mirrored ::-moz-range-thumb
+ ::-webkit-slider-thumb so Firefox and Chromium-Electron look
identical.
Number inputs got the OS spinner stack hidden globally
(::-webkit-inner-spin-button / outer + -moz-appearance: textfield).
The default Webkit spinners are a tiny gray arrow pair that always
reads as "unfinished" and clutter the look. Users still get keyboard
arrow keys + wheel scroll. If a custom spinner pattern is needed
later it can come back as a chrome around the input — for now the
inputs read clean as text fields.

Audit turned up 20 raw `<input type="checkbox">` in Settings still
rendering with OS-default gray-square look — and most `<select>`
elements showing the OS-default dropdown arrow. With the rest of the
UI now Twitch-themed (purple inputs, modal pops, animated everything),
those felt jarringly out of place.
Checkbox: 16px rounded square, dark base with 1.5px border, hovers to
a purple-tinted border, fills purple + draws a CSS-only white check
on the diagonal when checked, scales down briefly on click, focus
shows the same 3px purple ring as the text inputs. No JS, just
:checked + ::after.
Select: appearance:none everywhere to kill the OS chevron, then an
inline-SVG chevron in background-image at right:8px (gray default,
purple on hover). padding-right boosted to 28px so option text never
overlaps the arrow. The dropdown menu itself still uses the OS list,
but the closed control matches the rest of the input family now.
Cascades globally via input[type="checkbox"] / select selectors — no
markup edits needed. The few selects/checkboxes that previously had
inline accent-color overrides keep working because accent-color
applies to native widgets, which we have now replaced.

Round-4 polish.
- Streamer section counter. Tiny line next to the "Streamer" sidebar
heading: "12" when nobody is live, "12 · 3 live" with the live
count highlighted red when broadcasters from the watch list are
on air. Re-rendered on every renderStreamers call so it stays in
sync with add/remove and the 60s live-status poll.
- VOD duration badge. Twitch-style bottom-right pill on every VOD
thumbnail showing the recordings duration ("32h37m9s"). 11px,
white-on-near-black, 2px backdrop-blur, hover deepens the
background, fades out when the storyboard preview activates so
the preview frame reads cleanly. Pairs with the existing
downloaded checkmark badge (top-left) and live-recording badge
to give each thumbnail a complete at-a-glance status row.
- Queue progress bar shimmer. The fill bar now uses a purple-to-
light-purple gradient and rides a moving white-translucent
highlight strip that sweeps L->R every 1.8s. Same translateX-100%
to 100% trick used everywhere else, but only visible because
the underlying bar has colour. Makes "currently downloading"
obvious without needing a separate spinner.
- Chat viewer polish. Replaced the inline per-message styling with
proper .chat-viewer-* classes: hoverable row background, system
events (subs/raids/deletions) get a left-purple-border + tinted
background to set them apart from normal chat lines, the type
tag (e.g. [sub], [raid]) renders as a real chip with a border,
timestamps are mono-fonted and faded. Per-user IRC colour from
Twitch metadata is still respected as an inline override on the
username.

Polish round 3, plus a class-collision fix.
Fix first: the new X-close button class introduced in 4.6.21 was
called .btn-icon, which collided with an EXISTING .btn-icon class
already used by the top-bar Refresh button (and elsewhere). The
second declaration partially overrode the first, leaving Refresh
with the wrong hover state (red instead of purple-tinted). Renamed
the close-button class to .btn-close and updated the two call sites
(btnStreamerBulkRemove + vodFilterClearBtn). Refresh now hovers
correctly with a purple tint + a 180deg SVG icon spin on hover.
Polish bundle:
- Input focus ring globally: every text/search/number/password
input + textarea + select picks up a 3px rgba purple ring on
focus, with a smooth 180ms transition on border-color, box-shadow,
and background. Focus state finally reads as intentional instead
of the OS default blue glow.
- Queue items: 3px left border that color-codes by status (purple
while downloading, green when complete, red on error), faint
purple-tinted background when downloading, soft glow on the
status dot. The queue list now reads as a status timeline at a
glance.
- Top-bar Refresh button picks up a 1px border, purple-tint hover
background, and the SVG arrow spins on hover for the "refresh"
feel.
- Header search box (Add streamer): consistent border-radius (6px
vs 4px) and the + button gets a hover shadow + active-press
micro-bounce.
- App toast: gradient background, accent-color left border (purple
for info, amber for warn, red for error), animated slide-in from
the right instead of vertical, backdrop blur for content
legibility over busy backgrounds, and an extra .error variant
class. Feels modern instead of like a notice strip from 2010.

Visual-polish round 2.
- VOD skeleton loader: replaces the "Loading..." placeholder with
six shimmering skeleton cards that share the real cards
dimensions. The grid no longer collapses+expands as VODs arrive,
and the shimmer telegraphs that work is happening rather than
the app sitting silent. CSS @keyframes skel-shimmer drives a
smooth 1.5s gradient pan.
- Tab switch animation: 180ms ease-out fade-in + 4px lift on
every .tab-content.active. Switching between VODs / Statistik /
Archiv / Einstellungen no longer feels like an instant
paint-swap.
- Modal overhaul: backdrop-filter blur(8px) on the overlay so the
app behind softly blurs out, animated pop on the modal itself
(scale 0.96 -> 1 + translateY 8px -> 0 with a clean spring
curve), proper bordered + glow-cornered card, and the close X
swapped from a flat 24px text button to a real 30x30 rounded
pill with hover-red highlight.
- Scrollbar: thin 10px purple-tinted webkit scrollbar across the
entire app, matching the accent color. Hover deepens to full
purple. Track is near-transparent. Looks intentional instead of
the default OS gray.

The killer-feature of this pass is the live indicator: red pulsing
dot next to every streamer in the sidebar that is currently
broadcasting on Twitch. Suddenly the sidebar conveys real-time
state at a glance — you know who to click before clicking.
How it works:
- New live-status batch poller (main.ts) fires every 60s, packs
every streamer in the user's watch list into a single GQL query
using aliased user lookups (`u0:user(login:$l0){stream{type}} ...`),
chunked at 50 logins per request. One roundtrip for the whole
list — far cheaper than per-streamer polling.
- Updates a liveStatusByLogin Map on the main side, emits an IPC
`live-status-batch-update` event with only the entries that
flipped (plus a full snapshot for the renderer to keep in sync).
- Renderer subscribes once at boot via initLiveStatusSubscription,
keeps a parallel Map, and re-renders the streamer list on
change. Stamps a .streamer-live-dot before the name. Bold name
for live streamers so they pop in scannability.
- Restart triggers: app boot, streamer-list change (added/removed
via save-config) so a freshly added streamer gets their dot in
seconds without waiting for the next 60s tick.
Polish bundled in the same release:
- VOD card hover gets a more substantial lift: 12px shadow + faint
purple border-glow on hover. Subtle but enough to feel
"tactile". Border-color transitions alongside the shadow.
- Empty states get a floating animation and a bigger SVG icon
with accent-colored tint. "No VODs / select a streamer" now
feels intentional instead of an oversight.
- Streamer-name span dedicated class (.streamer-name +
.streamer-name.is-live) so a live streamer's name itself bolds,
not just gets a dot beside it.
Locale strings: liveNowTooltip ("Currently live on Twitch" / "Aktuell
live auf Twitch") for the dot's tooltip.

Three things from screenshot feedback against 4.6.20:
1) VODs visible through/above the sticky profile header. Root cause
was a stack: the 0.10/0.04 alpha gradient over var(--bg-card)
pushed the resulting background just barely under "opaque" in
some renderers AND .content has padding-top: 25px which let
VODs scroll through the area above the sticky element when
top: 0 was used. Fix: drop the gradient (banner-bg + ::before
pseudo handle the visual interest now), use straight
var(--bg-card), set top: -25px to negate .contents padding so
the header pins flush with the visible top edge, bump z-index
to 100, add isolation:isolate to force a new stacking context
so VODs cannot escape upward through the header.
2) Banner not visible. Was being suppressed by a 0.78-0.92 alpha
dimming gradient applied via background-image alongside the
banner URL — readable for text but visually killed the banner.
Moved the gradient into a ::before pseudo at z-index 1 with
gentler 0.55-0.78 alpha, dropped banner-bg blur from 18px to
10px, took opacity from 0.55 back up to 1.0. Banner now
actually shows behind the content the way twitch.tv does.
3) Stray un-styled buttons. Scan turned up a handful of action
buttons rolling their own inline styles (.vodBulkAddBtn /
MarkBtn / UnmarkBtn / ClearBtn, .vodFilterClearBtn,
.btnStreamerBulkRemove, .clipDialogConfirmBtn) plus a missing
.queue-detail-btn rule that was leaving every "View chat",
"View events", "Open file", "Show in folder" button defaulting
to the browsers gray fallback. Added three reusable classes
(.btn-pill default/primary/success/danger, .btn-icon, plus the
missing .queue-detail-btn) and swapped the inline styles for
the classes. Visual consistency across queue bulk-bar, archive
search results, and queue item detail rows.

Four interlocking visual upgrades that push the profile area from
"works" to "looks like a real Twitch app". Single release because
all four share data plumbing and need to land coherently.
1) Banner background — getStreamerProfile now also pulls
bannerImageURL via public GQL, fetches the bytes server-side as a
data URL (same path as the avatar fix in 4.6.18-4.6.19), and the
renderer puts it behind the header content with blur(18px) +
saturate(1.2) + a 0.55 opacity overlay. Result: per-streamer
colour identity at a glance, like twitch.tv's channel page.
2) Live preview card — when isLive, the public-GQL stream block also
carries previewImageURL(640x360), viewersCount, title, game{name}.
A second card slides in below the main profile row showing the
current frame at 240×135, eye-icon viewer count, big bold title,
game, and a red "Jetzt aufnehmen" CTA. Click anywhere on the card
OR on the button triggers triggerLiveRecording — same path as
the sidebar REC dot, so the recording reaches the queue with
identical settings.
3) VOD hover storyboard — Twitch ships a seekPreviewsURL per VOD
pointing at a JSON manifest of sprite-sheet images, each a grid
of preview thumbnails spanning the recording. New IPC
get-vod-storyboard fetches the manifest, picks the high-quality
first sprite, fetches its bytes as a data URL, and returns the
grid metadata. Renderer (new renderer-vod-hover.ts) hooks
delegated mouseover on #vodGrid: 220ms debounce, then on
activation overlays a div positioned over the thumbnail with
background-image=sprite + a setInterval cycling
background-position through 4 evenly-spaced cells at 600ms each.
Per-VOD result cached client-side so repeated hovers don't
re-fetch. Negative results (private VODs, expired) are also
cached so we don't re-query a known-empty manifest.
4) Sticky header — position:sticky;top:0;z-index:20 plus a
backdrop-filter:blur(6px) so the VOD grid scrolling underneath
reads through the banner subtly. Header stays anchored to the top
of .content as the user scrolls hundreds of VODs.
GQL refresher: the public schema rejects `broadcasterType` but
accepts `roles{isPartner isAffiliate}`, plus the same query now
includes bannerImageURL and stream{previewImageURL viewersCount
title game{name}}. One single roundtrip pulls everything we need
for the header AND the live card. The old separate-follower-count
roundtrip (fetchOnlyFollowerCount) is now redundant but kept around
for back-compat in case other call sites grow into it.
Also: profile layout switched from one big flex row to a relative
container with two children (.streamer-profile-row for the meta,
.streamer-profile-live-card for the live block). The .live-card
only renders when isLive — offline streamers get the same compact
header they had before.

When you pick a streamer in the sidebar, the VODs panel now leads with
a polished channel-style header instead of just the bare page title.
This is the "personal" feel — you are looking at a creator, not a folder.
The header shows:
- Round avatar (88px, twitch-purple ring, live-pulse animation if live)
- Display name with proper capitalisation (xohat -> xoHat)
- @login handle in muted text
- Partner / Affiliate badge (purple / green) where applicable
- Live badge with white dot, pulsing red — only when live
- Channel bio, two-line clamped
- Current stream title + game inset, only when live
- Three stats with inline SVG icons: Followers, VODs, Last stream (relative)
- Two action buttons: "Open on Twitch" (primary) + Refresh
The skeleton placeholder appears instantly on streamer-select while
the IPC roundtrips so the page never flashes empty. Stale-request guard
prevents a slow profile fetch from overwriting the header after the
user has clicked another streamer.
Backend (main.ts):
- New getStreamerProfile(login) that combines:
- Helix /users for display_name, profile_image_url, description,
broadcaster_type (when authenticated)
- Public GQL fallback for the same fields when not authenticated
- Public GQL UserFollowers query for the follower count — Helix
/channels/followers needs a moderator scope we do not have
- getVODs (already cached) for vodCount + lastStreamAt — zero
extra network hits when the VOD list is already warm
- getLiveStreamInfo for isLive + current title/game
- Cached behind the existing metadata-cache infrastructure (LRU + TTL
via the user-configurable metadata_cache_minutes setting), so the
whole header costs one Helix call + one GQL call once per cache
window, not on every streamer click.
Frontend:
- New renderer-profile.ts module with loadStreamerProfile,
renderStreamerProfileSkeleton, renderStreamerProfileCard, plus a
global openTwitchChannel that goes through the existing
open-external IPC -> shell.openExternal pipeline.
- Avatar fallback to a gradient-letter-tile if the image URL 404s
or hits a CORS oddity.
- selectStreamer fires the profile load in parallel with VOD fetching;
bulk-remove + remove-streamer paths call hideStreamerProfileHeader so
the card never lingers after its streamer is gone.
CSS adds the .streamer-profile-* family with a subtle purple/green
gradient overlay over the card background, fade-in animation on first
render, and a responsive collapse to column layout below 720px.

In-flight live recordings now show a small coloured dot before the
title indicating whether bytes are still flowing.
The health state is derived from byte-progress liveness: each time
the byte counter advances, we stamp lastBytesAdvancedAt; if more
than 30s pass without an advance we flip the badge to amber to tell
the user the streamlink subprocess has gone quiet (dropped segments,
network blip, or the stream just ended). Until the first segment
arrives we report "unknown" so we don't claim health prematurely on
a streamlink that's still negotiating playlists.
Critical wrinkle: streamlink emits progress events on byte boundaries,
so a hung process emits NO events at all. A pure event-driven badge
would never update from "ok" to "stale" — it'd stay frozen at the
last known good state. To avoid that, downloadLiveStream now runs a
10s health-tick interval that re-emits the most recent progress
event with a fresh health computation. The interval is killed in a
finally block so process termination doesn't leak it.
DownloadProgress + QueueItem in both src/types.ts and the renderer
declaration shadow get the new optional recordingHealth field. The
renderer queue handler copies it onto the item; the queue render
function shows a coloured dot before the title for in-flight live
items only (status === 'downloading' && isLive). Three states:
green pulsing (ok), amber flashing (stale), grey static (unknown).

Adds the second half of the live-archive flow. AUTO catches a stream
as it happens; VOD catches the recently published archive. Both
together close the gap a Twitch viewer-side archivist cares about.
Streamer list grows a third per-streamer toggle (blue "VOD") next
to AUTO and REC. When enabled, the main-process auto-VOD poller
periodically scans that streamer's VOD list and queues anything
that is (a) within the rolling age window, (b) not already in
downloaded_vod_ids, and (c) not already in the active queue. The
age window keeps freshly-enabled streamers from suddenly dumping
their entire historical backlog into the queue — when a user flips
VOD on, only VODs published in the last N hours (default 24, capped
at 720) get auto-pulled.
Polling cadence is in minutes, not seconds — VOD-listing scans are
heavier than live-status checks and new VODs only appear after a
stream ends, so minute-level lag is fine. Default 15 min, clamped
[5, 360]. Independent timer from the auto-record poller because
their cadences shouldn't be coupled.
UI:
- Streamer item: blue "VOD" pill next to AUTO/REC, identical interaction.
- Settings card "Auto-VOD download": poll interval + max age fields.
- Discord card: optional "Notify when a VOD gets auto-queued" checkbox.
Wires through save-config so toggling triggers restartAutoVodPoller
without a full app restart, and through shutdownCleanup so the
timer is killed on quit.

Building on the manual REC button from 4.6.0: each streamer now also
has an AUTO toggle. When enabled, a background poller in the main
process checks the streamers live status every 90s (configurable
30-1800s via config.auto_record_poll_seconds). On an offline -> live
transition, a live recording is queued automatically without the
user having to be at the keyboard.
Server:
- config.auto_record_streamers: string[] holds the watched logins
(deduped + normalized via normalizeAutoRecordList). Empty list
stops the poller entirely so users who don't use the feature pay
zero CPU.
- runAutoRecordPoll iterates the list, hits getLiveStreamInfo
(existing helper from 4.6.0 — Helix when authed, public GQL
otherwise), tracks per-streamer last-known live state in
autoRecordLastLiveState, and only triggers on the offline->live
edge. If a live item already exists for that streamer (manual
REC click + auto-poll racing), the auto-trigger backs off.
- restartAutoRecordPoller is wired into save-config so toggling AUTO
on/off or changing the interval takes effect without a restart;
state for de-watched streamers is dropped so re-enabling them
later doesn't suppress an immediate first-poll trigger.
- Wired into app.whenReady (start) and shutdownCleanup (stop).
- Initial poll fires ~1.5s after restart so a streamer that's
already live when the user enables AUTO gets picked up
immediately instead of after a full interval.
Renderer:
- AUTO pill next to REC. Off = grey outline, on = green outline +
green text + faint green background. Click toggles via saveConfig
with the updated auto_record_streamers array; toast confirms.
- Per-streamer state survives reload (it's in the config file).
DE + EN locale strings for the toggle title + on/off toasts.
Why this matters: VODs vanish from Twitch within 7-60 days. Manual
REC requires the user to be present when the stream starts. AUTO
closes that gap — the app watches in the background and captures
without supervision.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
VODs disappear from Twitch after 7-60 days depending on the channel
partnership tier. Anyone serious about archiving needs to capture
streams while they are still live, not after. The downloader is now
a recorder too.
End-user surface:
- Each streamer in the sidebar has a small red "REC" pill next to
the remove-x. Click it -> server checks Helix (or public GQL when
no client_id is configured) for live status. If the channel is
online a new queue item is added with isLive: true, status:
pending; the existing queue scheduler picks it up. Toast feedback
for offline / already-recording / generic-failure cases.
- Live items render with a pulsing red REC badge in the queue title
row and skip the bulk-select checkbox + the merge-group selector
(they don't make sense for an open-ended capture).
- Output goes to {download_path}/{streamer}/live/
{streamer}_LIVE_{YYYY-MM-DD}_{HH-mm-ss}.mp4 — timestamped so back-
to-back recordings of the same channel never collide.
- Streamlink runs without --hls-start-offset / --hls-duration so it
records until the stream actually ends or the user hits cancel /
remove. The existing per-item filename claim, integrity check on
close, and downloaded_vod_ids tracking apply unchanged (live
recordings are not added to downloaded_vod_ids since they have
no Twitch VOD ID).
Server plumbing:
- New getLiveStreamInfo(login) helper. Helix /streams when an app
token is available (better metadata: title + game), public GQL
fallback otherwise so users in public-mode still get live status.
- New IPC start-live-recording(streamerName) does the live check,
refuses with ALREADY_RECORDING if a live item for the same
channel is already pending or downloading.
- downloadVOD branches into a small downloadLiveStream helper when
item.isLive — computes the timestamped filename, ensures the
per-streamer/live folder exists, hands off to downloadVODPart
with null start/end times.
- sanitizeQueueItem preserves the isLive flag across queue file
reload so a recording in progress survives an app restart in
state (though streamlink itself dies on app exit and the user
has to re-trigger).
DE + EN locale strings for every toast + tooltip + the queue badge.
CSS animation for the pulsing badge so it visually distinguishes
live recordings from regular VOD downloads at a glance.

Three Phase-10 wins.
1. Streamer-list filter + bulk-remove. Above 6 streamers (the magic
number where the list starts to feel cluttered) a search input
appears below the section title and a small bulk-remove "x"
button next to it. Filter is title-substring, case-insensitive.
Bulk-remove honours the active filter — when the input is empty
it confirms removing the entire list, when filled it confirms
removing only the matching subset. Used a confirm() dialog with
the matching count interpolated into the locale string.
2. Cutter drag-and-drop. Dragging a video file from Explorer onto
the cutter tab now loads it directly — no separate Browse click.
Uses Electron's File.path extension on the dropped File object
(works through contextIsolation:true). selectCutterVideo was
refactored into loadCutterFromPath + a thin wrapper so the drop
handler reuses the same loading logic. dragenter/dragleave count
adds visual outline on #cutterPreview while a Files drag is over
the tab. Falls back gracefully if the dropped file lacks .path.
3. Per-streamer VOD scroll position. Switching streamers used to
reset scroll-to-top, painful when cycling between archives.
vodScrollPositions Record<streamer, scrollY> persisted to
localStorage, capped to 32 entries to bound storage. Save fires
on a 250ms scroll-debounce timer + on every selectStreamer
transition. Restore happens 80ms after renderVODs paints (lets
the first chunk settle) so scrollTop has somewhere to land.
Plus: bounded the persistence table at 32 entries, locale strings
DE/EN, all wired through applyLanguageToStaticUI for live language
switch.

Two real UX wins.
1. Auto-resume queue on startup. New checkbox in Settings -> Download
("Queue beim Start automatisch fortsetzen"). When enabled and the
persisted queue has pending items, processQueue() fires ~5 seconds
after did-finish-load — long enough for the user to see the queue
and pause if they did not actually want this. Default off so the
existing behaviour (explicit Start click) is preserved on upgrade.
The Settings auto-save fingerprint includes the new flag and
syncSettingsFormFromConfig restores it. Tooltip explains the
timing on hover.
2. Already-downloaded indicator on VOD cards. Config gains
downloaded_vod_ids: string[] (bounded to 4096 latest entries).
Every successful queue-item download appends its parsed VOD ID
(or every component ID for merge groups). On the VOD grid each
card whose vod.id is in the set gets a small green checkmark
badge in the top-right plus a slightly dimmed thumbnail, with a
localized "Already downloaded" / "Bereits heruntergeladen"
tooltip. The lookup builds a Set once per render so it stays
O(1) per card. The renderer refreshes its local config copy on
every "newly completed" queue update so the badge appears live
without waiting for a settings save.

Two related Phase-4 changes.
1. main.ts: tBackend(key, params) helper with DE/EN tables for every
user-visible error / status string produced server-side. Previously
every backend message was hardcoded German, so EN-mode users saw
German errors in the queue (last_error), in download progress
status, in clip-download responses, and in the preflight panel.
~30 keys covered: invalidVodUrl, streamlinkMissing, fileTooSmall,
integrity*, downloadCancelled / downloadPaused, attemptFailed,
retryingIn, statusBytesDownloaded, mergeGroupFileMissing,
notAllPartsDownloaded / notAllClipPartsDownloaded, ffmpegMerge/
SplitFailed, diskSpaceShortFor, all preflight* messages, etc.
classifyDownloadError extended to recognize EN equivalents
(streamlink not found, no video stream, folder) so the retry
classification still works correctly when the language is EN.
The hand-rolled translation table in renderer.ts:downloadClip is
gone — backend strings are already locale-correct.
2. styles.css: --border-soft CSS var added to :root and the
theme-light override. Inline styles in index.html for the VOD
filter input / sort select / bulk bar were referencing
--bg-secondary / --text-primary / --border-color (which don't
exist) and falling through to dark hex fallbacks (#222 / #fff /
#444), producing a dark patch in light theme. Now uses
var(--bg-card) / var(--text) / var(--border-soft) which both
themes define.

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
