Research direction

Reproduce the crash with two communities on Buzz 0.5.0 installed from the .deb on Ubuntu 24.04.4, then inspect the GStreamer assertion and segmentation-fault output in the issue. No source file or test is named; done means switching between communities no longer crashes and the reported failure is addressed.
