[Unreleased]

localStorage persistence for filter selections, search terms, and sort preferences across Files and Tasks pages
Proper loading states to prevent "flash of empty content" on fresh page loads
Real-time progress tracking with visual progress bar and color-coded states
Comprehensive Recent Improvements section in architecture documentation
Key Features section in main README highlighting system capabilities

BREAKING: Simplified files table schema by removing status column
- Files table now only tracks observations: dataset, input, output, date
- Task processing states managed exclusively in tasks table
- Automatic database migration preserves all existing file records
Updated API endpoint from /files/:dataset/status/:status to /files/:dataset
Improved React Query cache updates for progress events (no more full refetches)
Enhanced HandBrake progress regex to handle space before % sign (e.g., "79.60 %")

Dataset name extraction in WatcherService now correctly maps file paths to configured dataset keys
HandBrake progress tracking regex now matches format "XX.XX %" with space before percent
React key prop warning in TaskList component by using React.Fragment with proper keys
Empty state flashing by checking for undefined data during initial page loads
FileList loading state now accounts for multi-step query dependencies (datasets → files)

Reduced API calls through localStorage caching of user preferences
Direct cache updates for progress events eliminate unnecessary network requests
Optimistic UI updates provide immediate feedback with background synchronization
Prevented unnecessary re-renders through proper loading state management
