feat: sign in to YouTube with browser cookies
Answers the bot challenge from inside the app. Settings gains a browser picker listing only the browsers actually installed; choosing one passes --cookies-from-browser to every yt-dlp call, so YouTube sees an authenticated session. Verified against a live block: refused without cookies, resolved with them. Arc is Chromium underneath but is not one of yt-dlp's known names, so it is addressed by its profile directory instead. yt-dlp's errors are translated into something actionable. The stock bot message points at command-line flags a user cannot type; it now names the setting that fixes it, and Safari's protected cookie store gets its own message about Full Disk Access rather than a bare 'Operation not permitted'. A Check connection button reports whether YouTube is reachable, testing against the newest video in the feed — the hardcoded id it used at first had been taken down, so it reported a dead video rather than the connection.
