/**
 * Regression guard — videos must actually play.
 *
 * Two independent defects made every video unplayable, and nothing in the suite covered
 * either one (no test anywhere played media or asserted a `<video>` src):
 *
 *  1. The lightbox fed `<video>` the URL from `pickMediaUrl`, which is mime-agnostic.
 *     Compression only ever produces a *thumbnail* for a video — one ffmpeg frame — so in
 *     the DEFAULT saver mode the element's src was `/api/v1/upload/{id}/thumbnail`: a JPEG,
 *     served as image/jpeg with nosniff so the browser can't even sniff its way out.
 *     Chromium reported DEMUXER_ERROR_COULD_NOT_OPEN.
 *
 *  2. `stream_media_file` ignored `Range` entirely — always 200 with the whole body, never
 *     an Accept-Ranges or Content-Range. iOS Safari opens every `<video>` with a
 *     `Range: bytes=0-1` probe and abandons the load without a 206, so video failed on the
 *     app's primary platform even in `original` data mode.
 *
 * Fixing either alone still leaves video broken, so both are asserted here.
