#89 Media viewer: download the current collection

[Anonymous]

Summary

Add a Download All action for the media collection currently open in Messenger viewer, while retaining the existing single-image and single-video download actions.

Reuse Carrier download validation, filename handling, size limits, and executable blocking. Avoid downloading unrelated thumbnails, avatars, or backdrop images from the surrounding DOM.

Reference

• Wheemer/caprine discovers media URLs and adds a collection download button: https://github.com/Wheemer/caprine/blob/09ddffab29ac276174bb14fea0e0f4f7c045bf8a/source/browser.ts#L2000-L2225
• Carrier current media context-menu downloads: https://github.com/kristofferR/Carrier/blob/main/inject/src/messenger/features/context-menu.ts

Research the current live Messenger viewer DOM and batch UX when this is picked up.

Closing as not planned. Downloading single photos and videos from the viewer and the right-click menu covers the common case. Downloading a whole collection means scraping the viewer for every media URL, which breaks easily, for a feature only one Caprine fork offers. If the persistent Downloads view lands (#252), this can be reconsidered.
