🚀 New Features

• Added Generic Mode to support downloads from non-YouTube sites supported by yt-dlp #78 thanks to (@WoodyBABL)
• Added a new Download Settings toggle for Generic Mode.
• Added sponsor visibility in the app and docs to make project support easier.
• Audio Normalization (EBU R128): Added a new feature to standardize the volume of audio-only downloads using FFmpeg's loudnorm filter.
• In-App Update Checking: Added a new Check for YTSage updates setting natively into the UI.

🔧 Improvements

• Added README documentation for using Generic Mode with non-YouTube URLs.
• Reorganized the README usage documentation by splitting the former Advanced Options section into separate sections for media/download, output settings, access/network, and maintenance tools.
• Added localized Generic Mode strings across all shipped language files.
• Updated the URL placeholder text dynamically based on the selected validation mode.
• Refactor Download settings dialog into tabs and restyle.
• Added intuitive smart-toggling to the Download Settings UI (enabling audio normalization now intelligently forces an audio re-encode).
• Added comprehensive documentation and translated feature strings for the new Audio Normalization feature across all 13 supported languages.
• Added updated usage docs and strictly fixed the markdown table alignments in translated READMEs.
• Various layout fixes and localization key updates for seamless update-checking settings.

🐛 Bug Fixes

• Fixed a crash in the format table when third-party extractors returned null values such as format_note.
• Hardened format table handling for nullable metadata like bitrate, resolution, extension, and codec fields.
• Applied Generic Mode validation consistently to both analysis and download flows.
