v3.7.1

What's Changed in v3.7.1

• Windows Long Path Budgeting (Closes #17): Fixed [Errno 2] No such file or directory crashes on Windows when downloading shows with very long titles (e.g. A Livid Lady's Guide to Getting Even...). Output paths and intermediate muxing files (.tmp.mkv) are now dynamically budgeted to stay safely $\le 259$ characters (MAX_PATH) while preserving season/episode identifiers (S01E08), quality tags, and existing file compatibility.
• Safe Temporary Chapter Metadata: Chapter markers during FFmpeg muxing are now written to the system temporary directory (via tempfile) instead of appending .chapters.txt to the destination filename, preventing path overflow during merge.
• Connection Pool Expansion: Increased HTTP connection pool capacities across the session pool, downloader, and worker queues (scaling to 64–128 connections). This eliminates [urllib3.connectionpool] Connection pool is full warnings and reduces unnecessary TLS renegotiations under high worker concurrency.
