馃摝 Local Packaging Parity
- Align local macOS Native Host packaging with the release workflow by bundling
ffmpegin locally built packages. - Make local packaging explicitly upgrade and bundle the latest
yt-dlpat build time, matching CI behavior.
馃攧 Update Experience

service_versionand bundledyt-dlpversion. - Update the sidepanel update badge to show separate service and
yt-dlpversion changes with clearer reasons to upgrade.
馃摎 Documentation
