FOCUS / FIELD NOTES

Capture.

Source selection, visible recording controls, and explicit completion boundaries.

Start with the device or surface the person intends to record. The capture guides separate permission, collection, upload, and validation so the interface can describe what is actually happening. Compare the audio and video paths rather than assuming they fail in the same way. Use a small test matrix that includes a missing source, interruption, and an incomplete transfer. The goal is a recording state that the user and the storage system can both explain.
