🔧 Improvements

• Binary-Only yt-dlp Implementation: Transitioned to a binary-only approach for yt-dlp, removing the Python package dependency. This significantly reduces package size, speeds up installation, and simplifies dependency management. YTSage now exclusively uses its own managed yt-dlp binary located in the application's bin directory, eliminating conflicts with system-wide installations. Users who prefer a custom yt-dlp version can still specify the path to their own binary in the settings.

• Enhanced Stability & Error Handling (#41, @viru185): Improved robustness of yt-dlp and FFmpeg integrations with safer binary checks, better error messages, and more reliable subprocess handling for a smoother user experience.

• Streamlined Format Selection: Removed the Notes column from the format selection dialog to reduce clutter and make it easier to choose your preferred video format.

• Better Logging System: Implemented centralized, thread-safe logging infrastructure for improved debugging and troubleshooting.

• UI & UX Refinements: Enhanced path handling, improved playlist and format table stability, and polished the update dialog for a more responsive interface.

• Updated Dependencies: Updated GitHub Actions workflows and Python version (to 3.13.x) to ensure the application uses the latest, most stable versions of build and runtime dependencies.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Windows File Locking Issues: Fixed file locking errors when deleting partial files by implementing safe deletion with retry logic and process termination delays
