Performance Monitoring:

  • updateQueuePanel() - Updates download queue statistics
  • updatePerformanceMetrics() - Updates CPU, memory, GPU status
  • startMonitoring() - Initiates 2-second update interval
  • stopMonitoring() - Cleanup on app destruction

Key Features:

  • GPU info cached to avoid repeated detections
  • Slider with live value display
  • Modal closes on outside click or ESC key
  • Settings persisted in AppState
  • Graceful degradation when Electron APIs unavailable

Status: ✅ Complete - ~220 lines of new code, fully integrated
