//! Audio recorder via an ffmpeg subprocess. Produces m4a/AAC files on disk.
//!
//! Portability note: this module is intentionally UI-agnostic and carries no
//! `egui`/`eframe` deps so it can be lifted into a shared client-core crate
//! once a second Rust client (Windows variant, etc.) arrives.
//!
//! Call `Recorder::start` inside a Tokio runtime context (entered with
//! `Runtime::enter()` or via `#[tokio::main]`).
