 ### 🧳 Portability
 
-**Fully portable.** Everything — preferences, library state, subtitles, ffmpeg binaries, even the WebView2 profile — lives in a `state/` directory next to the executable. Copy the folder to a USB drive and it works anywhere. No registry entries, no AppData folders, no hidden configuration in your home directory.

Copy the folder to a USB drive and it works anywhere. No registry entries, no AppData folders, no hidden configuration in your home directory.
 
 **🛟 Crash-safe storage.** All state files are written atomically with backup rotation. If something goes wrong mid-write, the app falls back to the most recent valid backup. Nobody should lose their progress to a power outage.
