 Resizing with the queue open preserves the video's aspect ratio while keeping the sidebar at a fixed width; closing the queue retains ordinary aspect-locked video resizing.
 
-While the sidebar is open, its persistent top header holds the queue count, queue toggle, pin, Cast and settings controls; these do not fade with the video controls. Closing the sidebar returns those controls to the auto-hiding video titlebar. Space and configured playback shortcuts continue working with queue-list focus; Tab navigation, deliberately focused buttons/sliders and text entry keep their native keyboard behavior.

 Playback advances automatically and stops at the end, without wrapping. **Previous Queue Item** and **Next Queue Item** are available in the sidebar and Playback menu and are disabled at their respective ends. Reordering or removing another item does not interrupt playback; removing the current item plays its next neighbor, or stops if there is none. A playback error stays on that item rather than skipping it.
