### Queue & UI
- Shuffle button in queue header (Fisher-Yates, keeps current track at 0)
- LiveSearch arrow key / Enter / Escape keyboard navigation
- Multi-line tooltip support (data-tooltip-wrap attribute)
- Update link uses Tauri shell open() to launch system browser
- Sidebar min-width 180px → 200px (fixes Psysonic title clipping)
