  "works": "1) Unmodified AppImage CLI exported a project to MP4 headlessly (H.264 1752x1080, 60 fps, 8.200 s), byte-identical to the GUI export. 2) With the PipeWire helper removed from an extracted copy, the browser-capture path recorded a 19.53 s clip. 3) Editor edits landed in the saved project and the export: 1.80x zoom at 2.0-2.4 s (2.5 s frame zoomed, 6.0 s frame not), crop (y 0.05, height 0.90), trim to 8.19 s, wallpaper background. 4) Two recordings in a row each got their own project; cancelling mid-recording left no file. 5) CLI help, info --json and sources --json ran headlessly; an empty project or missing file gives a clear error and exit 1. 6) No signup, login, paywall or captcha seen.",
  "breaks": "1) Stock AppImage: clicking record shows 'Error: libpipewire-0.3.so.0 could not be loaded ... No such file or directory' and creates nothing; the README's browser-capture fallback does not trigger (the availability check only tests that the helper binary exists). 2) Without a Vulkan driver the preview shows 'Preview unavailable on this machine' and GUI export failed with a French-language message to install Mesa; it worked only with the bundled SwiftShader ICD pointed to manually, so the 'automatic CPU fallback' did not happen automatically. 3) CPU export of an 8 s clip took about 8 minutes. 4) Cancelling a recording logged \"No handler registered for 'discard-cursor-telemetry'\". 5) A 264 MB Whisper model plus a VAD model downloaded from huggingface.co about 23 s after the first recording, and transcription ran without captions being turned on. 6) Exported MP4 has a silent AAC track.",

Quality 3 because two documented Linux paths did not work as written: the PipeWire-less browser-capture fallback did not trigger, and the CPU export fallback was not automatic. The parts that ran (editing, CLI export, edge cases) worked.",
