Research direction

Start by reproducing the error at squoosh.app in Safari 13.0.2 on macOS Catalina, following the listed Large photo and WebP steps. Trace the WebP encoding and decoding path used by the browser and compare its Safari behavior with other browsers. Done means WebP compression and decoding no longer show “Processing error” in the reported environment.
