## 🎨 Design System Implementation

### macOS UI Design System
The application follows a streamlined design system based on Apple's Human Interface Guidelines:

#### Required Color Variables
All colors use CSS custom properties - never hardcoded values:

```css
/* Primary Colors */
--primary-blue: #155dfc;
--success-green: #00a63e;
--error-red: #e7000b;

/* Backgrounds */
--bg-dark: #1d293d;
--header-dark: #0f172b;
--card-bg: #314158;
--border-color: #45556c;

/* Text */
--text-primary: #ffffff;
--text-secondary: #cad5e2;
--text-muted: #90a1b9;
--text-disabled: #62748e;
```

#### Layout Standards
- **Header**: 41px height (exact design spec), dark background (#0f172b)
- **Input Section**: 161px height with 4px gap between elements
- **Control Panel**: 93px height with proper button arrangement
- **Spacing**: 16px base unit, 8px tight, 4px component gaps
- **Grid**: CSS Grid for layout, Flexbox for alignment
- **Minimum width**: 800px with responsive breakpoints
- **Border radius**: 8px buttons, 6px inputs

#### Component Specifications
- **Buttons**: 36px height, proper padding, rounded corners
- **Form Elements**: Card background (#314158), border (#45556c), 6px radius
- **Status Indicators**: Color-coded badges with proper contrast ratios
- **Progress Bars**: Animated with percentage display and proper ARIA attributes
- **Typography**: 14px base, Inter font family, proper weight hierarchy
- **Video Items**: 64px height with 16x12 thumbnails and proper spacing

#### Code Style Rules
- **CSS**: Use custom properties, mobile-first responsive, exact Figma measurements
- **HTML**: Semantic elements, ARIA labels, proper accessibility attributes
- **JavaScript**: Separate styling from behavior, progressive enhancement, event delegation
- **Responsive**: Strategic column hiding at breakpoints, touch-friendly interactions

## 🔧 Implementation Details

### URL Parsing & Validation
- **Multi-line Processing**: Parse pasted text containing multiple URLs mixed with other content
- **Supported Sources**: 
  - **YouTube**: `youtube.com/watch?v=`, `youtu.be/`, `youtube.com/playlist?list=`
  - **Vimeo**: `vimeo.com/[id]`, `player.vimeo.com/video/[id]`
- **Smart Extraction**: Regex-based URL detection with deduplication
- **Security**: Validate accessibility via yt-dlp before adding to queue

### Binary Integration
- **Mandatory Local Paths**: Always use `./binaries/yt-dlp` and `./binaries/ffmpeg` (never system binaries)
- **Platform Detection**: Automatic `.exe` suffix on Windows with proper error handling
- **Binary Validation**: Check binary existence before execution to prevent runtime errors
- **Version Management**: Background checking via GitHub API with 5s timeout
- **Security**: Validate all inputs before passing to binaries
- **Error Handling**: Graceful fallbacks when binaries are missing or updates fail

#### Standard Binary Execution Pattern
```javascript
// Standard binary execution with platform detection
const getBinaryPath = (name) => {
  const ext = process.platform === 'win32' ? '.exe' : '';
  return `./binaries/${name}${ext}`;
};

const { spawn } = require('child_process');
const ytdlp = spawn(getBinaryPath('yt-dlp'), args, {
  stdio: ['pipe', 'pipe', 'pipe']
});

// ❌ Never use system PATH binaries
// spawn('yt-dlp', args)
// ✅ Always use bundled binaries with proper platform detection
// spawn(getBinaryPath('yt-dlp'), args)
```

### Security & Performance Standards

#### Security & Validation
- **URL Validation**: Use regex patterns before passing to yt-dlp to prevent malicious input
- **Input Sanitization**: Prevent command injection attacks through comprehensive input validation
- **Cookie File Validation**: Verify format and existence before use with authentication
- **Path Validation**: Sanitize all file paths and download locations
- **Context Isolation**: Secure IPC communication via contextBridge

#### Startup & Performance
- **Non-blocking Initialization**: UI loads immediately, background tasks async with 5s max timeout
- **Network Timeouts**: 5-second maximum for version checks and API calls
- **Offline Resilience**: App must function without internet connection
- **Progress Feedback**: Update UI every 500ms max during operations
- **Resource Management**: Proper subprocess cleanup and memory management

#### Performance Targets
- **App startup**: < 2 seconds to interactive
- **UI responsiveness**: < 100ms for user interactions  
- **Memory usage**: Efficient handling of large video queues
- **Download efficiency**: Parallel downloads with rate limiting
- **Accessibility**: ARIA labels and keyboard navigation required

### Video Queue Management (UI Complete)
- **Complete Layout**: 7-column responsive table structure fully implemented (checkbox, drag handle, video info, duration, quality, format, status)
- **Sample Data**: 5 video items demonstrating all status states and UI variations
- **Status System**: Ready (green), Downloading (green with progress), Converting (blue with progress), Completed (gray), Error (red) states with proper colors
- **Integrated Progress Display**: Status badges now include progress percentages directly (e.g., "Downloading 65%", "Converting 42%") instead of separate progress bars
- **Responsive Design**: Mobile-optimized layout with strategic column hiding at breakpoints
- **Interactive Elements**: Styled dropdowns, checkboxes, and drag handles ready for functionality
- **Hover Effects**: Smooth transitions and visual feedback on all interactive elements
- **Accessibility**: Proper ARIA labels, role attributes, and live regions for status updates

**Note**: UI structure is complete with sample data. Dynamic functionality will be implemented in upcoming tasks starting with Task 5.

### Configuration Management
- **Persistent Settings**: Save path, quality, and format preferences
- **Cookie Integration**: Secure cookie file handling for authentication
- **Filename Patterns**: Customizable output naming with yt-dlp variables

### Metadata Fetching Architecture
The application uses a sophisticated metadata service layer:
- **Intelligent Caching**: Prevents duplicate requests for the same video
- **Retry Logic**: Automatic retry with exponential backoff (2 retries, 2s delay)
- **Timeout Protection**: 30-second timeout prevents hanging requests
- **Fallback Strategy**: Extracts basic info from URLs when API fails
- **Request Deduplication**: Pending requests are shared to avoid redundant calls
- **Performance Optimization**: Prefetch support for batch URL processing
