fix: yt-dlp mismatch in gitignore

Previously, toggling the system tray in the settings updated the configuration but did not instantiate or destroy the tray immediately. This caused a desynchronization bug where the application could minimize to a non-existent tray, creating a ghost instance.

The `set-feature` IPC handler now intercepts the `systemTray` key to apply the state at runtime before persisting the config.
