Adds a Genres tab so you can browse movies and series by category instead of just search/home.

New sidebar item → GenresPage with genre chips, a Movies/Series/All toggle, and sort by Popularity/Top Rated/Newest
Handles the annoying bit where TMDB uses different genre IDs (and different availability) for movies vs. TV ; chips auto-disable when they don't apply to the current type
Added a "Classics" chip that isn't a real TMDB genre ; pre-2000 titles filtered by vote count/rating so it's actually good stuff, not just old stuff
Top Rated has a minimum vote count so one 10/10 rating can't jump a title to the top; Newest filters out undated/unreleased titles
When browsing "All," movie and TV results are interleaved instead of showing all movies then all series
"Load More" pagination, with guards against duplicate/stale results if you switch filters quickly
Cards now show a synopsis on hover (new optional overview prop on MediaCard)

New sidebar entry lets users filter TMDB's catalogue by genre
(Action, Comedy, Horror, Drama, Thriller, Adventure, etc.), with an
All/Movies/Series toggle and paginated results via /discover.
Popularity / Top Rated / Newest, as a second segmented control next
to the All/Movies/Series filter. Top Rated applies a vote_count floor
so a single high vote can't outrank genuinely acclaimed titles;
Newest excludes unreleased/undated entries.

Add genre browsing page with filtering and sorting
Unlike the other chips, Classics isn't a TMDB genre id — it's a
synthetic filter (pre-2000, vote_average >= 7, vote_count floor) that
cuts across genres to surface iconic, widely-loved older titles. It
composes with the existing type filter and sort options.

Add a Classics category to the genre browsing page
MediaCard gains an optional overview prop that renders TMDB's
synopsis, line-clamped to 4 lines, inside the existing hover overlay.
Only GenresPage passes it, so cards on Home/Library/Downloads are
unaffected.
