Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing a video upload through element-web/desktop and compare its behavior with Element X, focusing on the reported full-size upload and failure to load in EX. Done means uploaded videos and photos are optimized enough to load in EX while preserving expected media behavior; no file or test is named in the issue.
