fix(launcher): normalize rofi prompt spacing

- Add formatRofiPrompt to trim trailing whitespace and append a single space, keeping the prompt from running into the input field
- Apply it across all rofi -p usages in picker.ts and history-command.ts
- Add tests for formatRofiPrompt edge cases (empty/whitespace-only prompts)

 ### Added
 
 - **Sync Stats & History**
-  - New **Sync Stats & History** window (tray menu) and `subminer sync <host>` command keep mining stats and watch history in sync across machines over SSH.
-  - Syncing is safe to repeat: data merges without duplicates, and hosts with auto-sync enabled sync automatically in the background on a schedule, reporting results as overlay notifications.
-  - Manual database snapshots (create, merge, reveal, delete) and connection testing cover one-off transfers, and Windows machines running the built-in OpenSSH Server work as sync remotes too; no setup beyond SSH access is needed on the remote side.
+  - New **Sync Stats & History** window (tray menu) and `subminer sync <host>` command keep mining stats and watch history in sync between machines over SSH, with saved devices, per-host sync direction, and live stage-by-stage progress.
+  - Merges are safe to repeat: data combines without duplicates, and hosts with auto-sync enabled sync automatically in the background on a schedule, reporting results as overlay notifications.

Power users can script transfers directly with `--push`/`--pull`, `--check`, `--snapshot`/`--merge`, and `--json` flags.
 
 - **TsukiHime Subtitle Downloads**
-  - Download Japanese and secondary-language subtitles for the current video directly from TsukiHime, mirroring the existing Jimaku flow: `Ctrl+Shift+T` opens an in-overlay search modal with separate tabs for the primary and secondary languages.
-  - Matching releases are found automatically from the video filename; the chosen subtitle downloads and loads straight into mpv, no API key required.

+- **Clipboard-Video Shortcut**
+  - The "append clipboard video to queue" shortcut is now configurable via `shortcuts.appendClipboardVideoToQueue` instead of being fixed.
 
 ### Fixed
 
-- **Word Highlighting Accuracy**: Fixed several cases of incorrect word highlighting and annotations, including inconsistent part-of-speech exclusions on merged quote-particle tokens, missing annotations for rare kanji, katakana punctuation wrongly treated as non-kana noise, and certain kanji vocabulary being skipped for next-level ("N+1") highlighting.
-- **Startup Playback Pausing Too Early**: Fixed playback resuming before subtitle processing had finished warming up, which could briefly show untranslated subtitles right after opening a video, most noticeable when resuming mid-episode.
-- **Linux AppImage Crash Notification on Quit**: Fixed a spurious "Service Crash" desktop notification appearing after closing a video when running the Linux AppImage.
-- **AnkiConnect Proxy Port Conflict**: Fixed video playback failing to start when another process already held the configured AnkiConnect proxy port; SubMiner now shows a notification explaining how to resolve the conflict instead of crashing.
-- **Stats & Settings Reliability**: Hardened the stats server against malformed requests, stalled AniList lookups, media mismatches during word mining, and missing Yomitan connections; AnkiConnect settings validation now preserves valid custom configurations while safely falling back on invalid values instead of failing.
