Subject: [PATCH] Truncate long error messages in queue view to prevent UI
 overflow

Long FFmpeg error messages were pushing the queue UI off screen, making
the interface unusable when jobs failed with verbose errors.

Changes:
- Truncate error messages to 150 characters maximum in status text
- Add helpful message indicating full error is available via Copy Error button
- Enable text wrapping on status labels to handle multi-line content gracefully
- Prevents UI layout breakage while maintaining error visibility

Users can still access the full error message via:
- Copy Error button (copies full error to clipboard)
- View Log button (opens per-job conversion log)
