Impact on Our JSON API Layer

Area	Before	After
Media fields	tweet.gif, tweet.gifs, tweet.video, tweet.photos	tweet.media: MediaEntities with helpers getPhotos/getVideos/hasGifs
Photos response	"photos": ["url", ...]	"photos": [{"url":"...", "altText":"..."}] ⚠️ breaking
Videos response	"video": {...} (single)	"videos": [{...}] (array) ⚠️ breaking
Prefs helper	cookiePrefs()	requestPrefs()
getQuery()	(request, tab, name)	(request, tab, name, prefs)
RSS config	cfg.enableRss	cfg.enableRSSUserTweets/…

Files updated: src/jsons/timeline.nim, src/jsons/search.nim

⚠️ Breaking Changes in API Response Schema

1. photos is now {url, altText}[] instead of string[]
2. video (single optional) replaced by videos (array) — supports multi-video tweets
3. Single gif field removed; use gifs array

Verification

• All 10 merge conflicts resolved
• nimble build succeeds — binary produced, only [UnusedImport] warnings
