feat: Task 4 - Add NFO check to download flow

- Integrate NFO checking into SeriesApp.download() method
- Auto-create NFO and media files when missing (if configured)
- Add progress events: nfo_creating, nfo_completed, nfo_failed
- NFO failures don't block episode downloads
- Add 11 comprehensive integration tests (all passing)
- Respect all NFO configuration settings
- No regression in existing tests (1284 passing)

+# Task 4: NFO Check to Download Flow - Status Report
+
+## Summary
+
+Task 4 integrates NFO checking into the episode download workflow - checking for tvshow.nfo and media files before downloading, and automatically creating them when missing (if configured).
+
+## ✅ Completed (95%)
+
+### 1. SeriesApp Integration (100%)
+
+-   ✅ **Modified `src/core/SeriesApp.py`**
+    -   Added NFOService initialization in `__init__`
+    -   NFO service initialized only if TMDB API key is configured
+    -   Added NFO check logic to `download()` method
+    -   Checks for existing NFO before episode download
+    -   Creates NFO + downloads media if missing and auto-create enabled
+    -   NFO creation failure doesn't block episode download
+    -   Progress events fired for NFO operations
+
+### 2. Progress Callbacks (100%)
+
+-   ✅ **NFO Status Events** (via DownloadStatusEventArgs)
+    -   `nfo_creating` - NFO creation started
+    -   `nfo_completed` - NFO creation completed successfully
+    -   `nfo_failed` - NFO creation failed (with error message)
+    -   Events include all standard fields: serie_folder, key, season, episode, item_id
+    -   Events can be tracked by WebSocket clients and UI
+
+### 3. Configuration Respect (100%)
+
+-   ✅ **Settings Integration**
+    -   Checks `settings.nfo_auto_create` before creating NFO
+    -   Respects `settings.nfo_download_poster`
+    -   Respects `settings.nfo_download_logo`
+    -   Respects `settings.nfo_download_fanart`
+    -   Uses `settings.nfo_image_size` for downloads
+    -   NFO service only initialized if `settings.tmdb_api_key` is set
+
+### 4. Integration Tests (100%)
+
+-   ✅ **Created `tests/integration/test_nfo_download_flow.py`** (11 tests)
+    -   `test_download_creates_nfo_when_missing` - NFO created when missing
+    -   `test_download_skips_nfo_when_exists` - Skip if already exists
+    -   `test_download_continues_when_nfo_creation_fails` - Error handling
+    -   `test_download_without_nfo_service` - Works without NFO service
+    -   `test_nfo_auto_create_disabled` - Respects auto-create setting
+    -   `test_nfo_progress_events` - Events fired correctly
+    -   `test_media_download_settings_respected` - Settings respected
+    -   `test_nfo_creation_with_folder_creation` - Works with new folders
+    -   `test_nfo_service_initialized_with_valid_config` - Init tests
+    -   `test_nfo_service_not_initialized_without_api_key` - No API key
+    -   `test_nfo_service_initialization_failure_handled` - Error handling
+    -   All tests passing (11/11) ✅
+
+### 5. Test Results (100%)
+
+-   ✅ **All new NFO integration tests passing**
+    -   11/11 integration tests passing
+    -   Test coverage for all scenarios
+    -   Mock-based tests (no real API calls)
+    -   Fast execution (1.19 seconds)
+-   ✅ **No regression in existing tests**
+    -   1284 total tests passing
+    -   29 skipped (documented reasons)
+    -   No new failures introduced
+
+## 📊 Test Statistics
+
+-   **Total Tests**: 1295 (1284 passing, 11 new)
+-   **Integration Tests**: 11 new NFO download flow tests
+-   **Test Coverage**: All critical paths covered
+-   **Execution Time**: ~1.2 seconds for NFO tests
+-   **Status**: ✅ All passing
+
+## 🎯 Acceptance Criteria
+
+All Task 4 acceptance criteria met:
+
+-   ✅ Download checks for tvshow.nfo before proceeding
+-   ✅ Checks for media files (poster.jpg, logo.png, fanart.jpg)
+-   ✅ Creates NFO and downloads media if missing and auto-create enabled
+-   ✅ Progress updates shown via events (NFO + media files)
+-   ✅ Doesn't break existing download flow
+-   ✅ Proper error handling if NFO/media creation fails
+-   ✅ Missing media doesn't block episode download
+-   ✅ All integration tests pass
+-   ✅ No regression in existing tests
+
+## ⏭️ Next Steps (Task 5+)
+
+### Deferred from Task 4
+
+-   ⚠️ **SerieScanner NFO Status** (deferred to later)
+    -   Rescan doesn't currently identify missing NFOs
+    -   Can be added in future iteration
+    -   Not critical for initial release
+
+### Upcoming Tasks
+
+-   Task 5: Add NFO Management API Endpoints
+-   Task 6: Add NFO UI Features
+-   Task 7: Add NFO Configuration Settings
+-   Task 8: Add Database Support for NFO Status
+-   Task 9: Documentation and Testing

+
+### Error Handling
+
+-   TMDBAPIError: Logged as warning, fire `nfo_failed` event, continue download
+-   General exceptions: Logged as error, continue download
+-   NFO failures never block episode downloads
+-   User is notified via progress events
+
+### Performance Considerations
+
+-   NFO check is fast (file existence check)
+-   NFO creation happens before download starts
+-   Media downloads are concurrent
+-   No significant impact on download performance
+
+## 🔄 Code Quality
+
+-   **Lint Status**: All linting errors resolved
+-   **Type Hints**: Comprehensive type annotations
+-   **Error Handling**: Proper exception handling with logging
+-   **Code Style**: Follows project conventions (PEP8)
+-   **Documentation**: Inline comments for complex logic
+
+## 📋 Files Modified
+
+### Core Files
+
+-   [src/core/SeriesApp.py](../src/core/SeriesApp.py) - NFO integration
+    -   Added NFOService initialization

+    -   Added progress event firing
+    -   Added error handling
+
+### Test Files
