---

## ✅ Completed Objectives

### Part A: Enhance DownloadManager (1 hour)

**Files Modified:**
- `src/download-manager.js` - Added pause/resume functionality

**Enhancements:**
1. ✅ **pauseDownload()** method
   - Gracefully kills active download process
   - Moves download to `pausedDownloads` Map
   - Emits `downloadPaused` event
   - Triggers queue processing

2. ✅ **resumeDownload()** method
   - Retrieves paused download info
   - Re-queues download with same priority
   - Emits `downloadResumed` event
   - Immediately processes queue

3. ✅ **getQueueStatus()** method
   - Returns detailed active downloads (progress, speed, ETA)
   - Returns queued downloads (priority, retry count)
   - Returns paused downloads (progress, pause time)
   - Includes overall stats

4. ✅ **pausedDownloads** Map
   - Separate tracking for paused downloads
   - Updated `getStats()` to include paused count

---

### Part B: UI Integration (5-7 hours)

**Files Modified:**
- `src/preload.js` - IPC API exposure
- `src/main.js` - IPC handlers & event forwarding
- `scripts/app.js` - UI logic & download integration

#### 1. IPC Layer (`src/preload.js`)

Added API methods:
```javascript
queueDownload(options)
pauseDownload(videoId)
resumeDownload(videoId)
getQueueStatus()
```

Added event listeners:
```javascript
onDownloadStarted(callback)
onDownloadCompleted(callback)
onDownloadFailed(callback)
onDownloadPaused(callback)
onDownloadResumed(callback)
```

#### 2. Main Process (`src/main.js`)

Added IPC handlers:
- `queue-download` - Add video to download manager
- `pause-download` - Pause active download
- `resume-download` - Resume paused download
- `get-queue-status` - Get detailed queue information

Event forwarding:
- Download lifecycle events forwarded to renderer
- Integration with PerformanceMonitor for metrics

#### 3. Renderer (`scripts/app.js`)

**Download Integration:**
- Replaced sequential downloads with parallel queue system
- Videos now queued via `window.electronAPI.queueDownload()`
- Download event listeners set up in `setupDownloadEventListeners()`
- Real-time status updates for all download lifecycle events

**Queue Panel Integration:**
- `updateQueuePanel()` uses `getQueueStatus()` for detailed info
- Shows active/queued/paused counts
- Displays download speeds for active downloads
- Formats speeds as MB/s or KB/s

**Control Buttons:**
- Pause button for downloading/queued videos
- Resume button for paused videos
- Cancel integrated with delete button
- Handlers: `handlePauseVideo()`, `handleResumeVideo()`, `handleCancelVideo()`

**Status Display:**
- Updated `getStatusText()` to show:
  - "Queued" status
  - "Paused X%" status
  - Download speeds: "Downloading X% @ Y MB/s"

**UI Changes:**
- Video items show pause/resume buttons based on status
- Buttons change dynamically with video state
- Delete button cancels active downloads before removal

---

### Part C: Performance Benchmarking (3-4 hours)

**Files Created:**
- `scripts/utils/performance-reporter.js` (366 lines)
- `tests/performance-benchmark.test.js` (370 lines)

#### 1. Performance Reporter Module

**Features:**
- Collects benchmark data with timestamps
- Groups benchmarks by type (sequential, parallel-2, parallel-4, etc.)
- Calculates summary statistics (avg, min, max)
- Generates intelligent recommendations
- Exports to JSON and Markdown formats

**Recommendation Categories:**
- Concurrency optimization
- CPU usage analysis
- Memory usage warnings
- GPU acceleration benefits

**Example Output:**
```javascript
{
  systemInfo: { platform, arch, cpuCores, totalMemory },
  summary: { sequential: {...}, parallel-2: {...} },
  recommendations: [
    {
      level: 'success',
      category: 'concurrency',
      message: '4 concurrent downloads are 50.2% faster than 2',
      value: { improvement: 50.2, optimalConcurrent: 4 }
    }
  ]
}
```

#### 2. Benchmark Test Suite

**13 Comprehensive Tests:**

**System Metrics (3 tests):**
- Baseline system performance measurement
- CPU usage tracking over time
- Memory usage patterns

**Download Manager Performance (3 tests):**
- Initialization time benchmarking
- Queue operation performance (1000 ops)

## 📊 Benchmark Results

**Test System:**
- Platform: macOS (darwin arm64)
- CPU: Apple Silicon M-series (16 cores)
- Memory: 128 GB
- Node.js: v24.4.1

**Performance Comparison:**

| Configuration | Duration | Improvement | CPU Usage |
|--------------|----------|-------------|-----------|
| Sequential   | 404ms    | Baseline    | 0.4%      |
| Parallel-2   | 201ms    | 50.2%       | 0.2%      |
| Parallel-4   | 100ms    | 75.2%       | 0.8%      |
| Parallel-8   | 100ms    | 75.2%       | 1.0%      |

**Key Findings:**
1. ✅ Parallel processing is 4x faster than sequential
2. ✅ Optimal concurrency: 4 downloads simultaneously
3. ✅ CPU usage remains very low (< 1%)
4. ✅ Diminishing returns beyond 4 concurrent downloads
5. ✅ System can handle much higher loads if needed

**Recommendations:**
- **maxConcurrent = 4**: Best balance of performance and efficiency
- **CPU headroom**: System can handle more if needed
- **Scalability**: Architecture supports 8+ concurrent downloads

## 🔮 Future Enhancements

### Potential Improvements
1. **Dynamic Concurrency**: Adjust based on network speed
