Three comparison-driven upgrades against typical course/media platforms:
- Lesson page gets a collapsible "Lessons in this section" list so you
can jump between siblings without leaving the page, instead of only
global Prev/Next buttons. find_lesson_in_tree() now also returns the
DirectoryNode that owns the lesson (its .lessons list is the sibling
set) since DirectoryNode has no parent pointer; a new
get_section_lessons() resolves each sibling's progress the same way
view_lesson() already does for the current lesson.
- Course tree section headers show "X/Y watched" instead of a flat item
count, via DynamicCourseParser._calculate_completion_stats (already
computed recursive completion for any node, just never called
per-section) exposed as a Jinja global.
- Library browser gets a list/grid toggle for browsing large category
folders by poster-style thumbnail instead of a 32px-icon list.
Client-side only, persisted via localStorage, defaults to the
existing list view; both folder browsing and search results already
funnel through the same render function so grid mode covers both.

Every course-loading path (Library browser, Continue Watching, Next
Up, ...) goes through loadCoursePath(), which reloads the page after
POSTing to /load_course - a plain reload never touches history, so
once you were on the course view, back had nothing of ours to land on
and fell straight through to exiting the app.
Push a history entry before that reload, and teach the back handler
that popping back to the course view means "unload the course and
reload" (there's no client-side way to patch back to the library
view's markup - it's a distinct server render tied to current_course).
Also restore the exact library folder trail on that reload instead of
resetting to the root, so back genuinely returns to where you were
browsing, not just the top level.

Drilling into a Library folder only ever swapped #library-groups's
contents via fetch, never touching browser history - so back had
nothing of the app's own to step through once you were a few folders
deep, and fell straight through to exiting the app instead of going up
a level.
Push a history entry per drill-down and breadcrumb jump, and restore
libraryTrail/re-fetch that level on popstate, so back now un-drills
one folder at a time and only reaches the app's actual exit once
you're back at the library root.

Templates only, no backend changes:
- Fixed the real bug: JS-generated status/loading text and a few component
styles used hardcoded hex (#007acc, #999/#666, #28a745, #ff6b6b) instead
of the CSS variables the theme system already provides, so they didn't
track the user's chosen theme/accent - most visible on Light or any named
theme other than the default. Added --success/--error to all 5 templates'
:root blocks and replaced every non-:root occurrence. Left the
.lesson-type badge colors and generic UI chrome grays alone (intentional,
not theme-dependent). Verified live by switching to Nord and Light themes.
- Dashboard cards (Library Stats, Next Up, Pick Back Up, Recently Added,
Continue Watching, Recently Viewed) are now collapsible, state remembered
per device via localStorage - the no-course dashboard had grown to 7
stacked cards.
- Course page's three action buttons get consistent compact sizing and
icons instead of a plain stack.
- Library browser and transcript search show shimmering skeleton rows
instead of bare "Loading..."/"Searching..." text while a fetch is in
flight.
- Hover treatment made consistent: transcript results get the same lift
.lesson-item already had, heatmap cells get a GitHub-style hover
scale-up, and Notes Hub links get a background-chip hover.

Six more dashboard features, all built on the per-course progress-file
scanning infrastructure from earlier sessions:
- Notes Hub (/notes): every lesson note across the library in one place,
newest first, reusing the existing /recent/open cross-course jump route.
- Transcript search: opt-in checkbox on the Library search box, searching
inside .srt/.vtt files. Kept cheap by doing a raw substring match as the
filter step and only extracting a snippet for files that actually match.
- Stale course nudges ("Pick Back Up"): courses with progress that haven't
been touched in 14+ days.
- Study guide export: compiles a course's notes into one downloadable
markdown file, section/lesson structure preserved.
- Next Up queue: an ordered, persisted "what to tackle next" list with
up/down reordering and a queue button on every course row.
- Activity heatmap: a 90-day contribution-style calendar in the Library
Stats card.
_scan_library_activity() now does one walk over every course's progress
file per dashboard load; library stats, stale courses, and the heatmap all
derive from that single scan instead of three independent ones.
Also refactored the duplicated lesson-progress-key lookup (used in three
places now) into _resolve_lesson_progress_key(), and flagged a pre-existing
bug found along the way (not fixed here, kept out of scope): subtitle files
never actually attach to a Lesson object, so the video player's caption
track has never had anything to render.

Five more usability features on top of the search/thumbnails batch:
- Recently Added: dashboard card of courses by folder mtime, separate from
Recently Viewed (watched vs. just showed up on disk).
- Bulk find/replace rename across every course/folder name at once, with a
mandatory preview step before anything touches disk. Refactored the
single-item rename route to share the same validate/apply logic.
- Estimated time remaining on the loaded course's stats card, computed only
from lessons that have actually reported a duration.
- Library-wide stats overview: total courses, lessons tracked, time
watched, daily streak - read from each course's small progress file
rather than re-scanning course contents.
- One-click backup/export zip of settings, hidden-paths, recently-viewed,
and every course's progress/notes.
Also fixes a real performance bug found along the way: search was routing
through list_library_directory, which computes a full recursive file count
and thumbnail lookup for every course at every level regardless of match -
turning a search into an O(every file in the library) scan. Gave search its
own lightweight directory-only walk (iter_all_courses), now shared by
Recently Added and the stats overview too, so the expensive per-course work
only runs for courses that actually match.

Eight usability additions on top of the mobile redesign: course cover-image
thumbnails, a debounced library search, a Continue Watching section split
from Recently Viewed, per-lesson playback speed control, an installable
PWA manifest/icons, name sort in the library browser, per-lesson notes, and
a bulk mark-course-as-watched action. Also fixes two real bugs found along
the way: lesson_view.html was missing the viewport meta tag (so lesson
pages weren't actually mobile-responsive), and update_lesson_progress
always overwrote the whole progress entry, which would have silently
deleted a saved note on the next routine autosave.
