docs(testing): log the Windows MCP pass on main build run 38538195250

[EtienneLescot]

Summary

Results row for the computer-use pass of the MCP server section on build run 38538195250 (main @ b668b2c8d, with #1174 and #1180 merged). Verdict Partial: MCP section only, 2 defects.

Works

Area	Result
Recording	startRecording with webcam and system cursor; auto-zoom grouping
Transcription and captions	transcribe (40 words in about 15 s); French translation by the client; captions on in the bold style
Project look	setEditorSettings: frame, wallpaper, 16:9, camera cut-out
Annotations	72 px text; mosaic blur
Clips and media	insertClip, duplicateClip, crop, importMedia, removeMedia guard, createProject, setProjectInfo
MP4 export	30 fps, frame count exact; frames show captions, title and blur
Open project	live edits, one Ctrl+Z each; restoreCheckpoint is one undo step
App quit and relaunch	one client session survives it (file mode with a checkpoint, then live again)
CLI	captions writes the v2 model

Defects

	Repro	Evidence	Severity
1	exportVideo to a .gif path, with or without the app	"--quality is only supported for MP4 exports"; media-tools.ts always sends quality: "good"	P1: GIF export over MCP never works
2	Open the source picker or the language prompt on the bar, then close it	HUD style 0x280028 → 0x200000; the bar sinks behind other windows	P2: Ctrl+Shift+O brings it back, still not topmost
