Bring Back the VSE "Strip" Tab to the N-Panel in Blender 5.1.1! ​

Hi everyone/Developers, ​I understand that moving the VSE Strip properties to the main Properties Editor in recent updates was meant to unify the UI. However, completely removing it from the VSE N-Panel (Sidebar) is a massive step backward for workflow efficiency. ​When editing video and tweaking audio for large animation projects, the N-Panel is essential for quick, on-the-fly adjustments like Volume and Pitch. Forcing users to constantly shift their focus and mouse to the bottom-right Properties Editor just to change a simple volume slider breaks the creative flow and ruins years of muscle memory. ​Having the settings in the main Properties panel is fine, but please bring back the "Strip" tab to the VSE N-Panel as well. Give users the flexibility to access these essential tools where they actually need them!
