Implement sidecar video thumbnails and improved processing UI

- Implemented "sidecar" thumbnail logic: imports video thumbnails from Google Photos as hidden Drive files to display immediately while videos process.
- Updated MediaService to serve sidecar thumbnails via server-side Base64 encoding, bypassing CORS restrictions.
- Implemented lifecycle management: detects video processing completion to automatically cleanup sidecar files and fallback to native Drive thumbnails.
- Enhanced Media Manager UI: added processing warning banner and refined processing tile styling (centered, lighter overlay).
- Upgraded Drive API to v3 and improved file creation robustness with Advanced API fallbacks.

 - **Video Previews**:
-    - HTML5 `<video>` tags often fail with standard Drive download URLs due to auth/codec issues.
-    - **Strategy**: Use an `<iframe>` embedding the `https://drive.google.com/file/d/{ID}/preview` URL. This leverages Google's native player for reliable auth and transcoding.
+- **Video Previews**:
+    - Use `document.createElement('video')` to inject video tags. Avoid template strings (`<video src="...">`) as the parser sanitizes them aggressively.
+    - Fallback to `<iframe>` only if native playback fails.
+- **Client-Side Syntax**:
+    - **ES5 ONLY**: Do not use `class` in client-side HTML files. The Apps Script sanitizer often fails to parse them. Use `function` constructors.

+### 8. Apps Script & HTML Service Constraints
+
+When working with `HtmlService` (client-side code), the environment differs significantly from the server-side V8 runtime.
+
+1.  **Server-Side (`.ts`/`.gs`)**:
+    -   **Runtime**: V8 Engine.
+    -   **Syntax**: Modern ES6+ (Classes, Arrow Functions, `const`/`let`) is fully supported.
+    -   **Recommendation**: Use standard TypeScript patterns.
+
+2.  **Client-Side (`.html` served via `createHtmlOutputFromFile`)**:
+    -   **Runtime**: Legacy Browser Environment / Strict Caja Sanitization.
+    -   **Constraint**: The parser often chokes on ES6 `class` syntax and complex template strings inside HTML attributes.
+    -   **Rule 1**: **NO ES6 CLASSES**. Use ES5 `function` constructors and `prototype` methods.
+    -   **Rule 2**: **NO Complex Template Strings in Attributes**. Do not use `src="${var}"` if the variable contains a URL. Use `document.createElement` and set properties (e.g., `element.src = value`) programmatically.
+    -   **Rule 3**: **Unified Script Tags**. Consolidate scripts into a single block where possible to avoid parser merge errors.
+    -   **Rule 4**: **Var over Let/Const**. Top-level variables should use `var` or explicit `window` assignment to ensure they are accessible to inline HTML handlers (e.g., `onclick="handler()"`).
