Review comments at @electron/mcp/media-tools.ts:
- Line 357: Update the `openVideo(camera.path)` failure path so it omits
`cameraTrack` when the webcam file cannot be opened, rather than saving a track
with the unreadable path; preserve the screen take.
Review comments at @src/cli/CliExportRunner.tsx:
- Line 325: After resolving the output format in the CLI export flow, reject an
explicit request.quality when the format is GIF, matching the cross-format
validation behavior of the MCP exportVideo handler; keep the stored project
quality fallback unchanged and preserve the GIF dimensions logic around
gifOutputDims.

… and the system cursor exportVideo takes fps (24, 30, 60), gifFrameRate, gifSize and gifLoop, with the dialog's defaults; an option of the other format is refused. The CLI contract and runner gain the MP4 frame rate and the GIF loop, and a GIF is sized from the source size as in the dialog. startRecording takes camera and cursor on both servers: the record runner turns the webcam on, listSources lists the cameras, and the in-app recorder maps them onto the recording bar's prefs. The CLI gains --fps, --gif-loop, --camera and --camera-device. Part of #1180

Review comments at @electron/cli/args.ts:
- Around line 334-335: Update the format validation around request.format in the
CLI argument parser to reject GIF-only options, including --no-gif-loop, when
the resolved format is MP4; preserve the existing validation for --fps on GIF
exports.
Review comments at @electron/mcp/media-tools.ts:
- Around line 553-559: Update the response built in listSources to include
cameraLabelsUnavailable, matching the CLI source listing, so MCP clients can
distinguish unavailable camera labels from an empty camera list.
