Research direction

No source files, tests, crash logs, or entry points are identified in the report. Start by reproducing the crash on Android or ChromeOS with a key mapped to streaming or recording, then collect the relevant crash output and narrow the affected subsystem. Done means the mapped action starts streaming or recording without closing RetroArch.
