Research direction

Start by locating the entry point that selects between the local transcoder and mainnet transcoding. Trace how capacity and transcoder failures are reported, then define tests showing local use, fallback on capacity or failure, and continued mainnet use after fallback. Done means the stated failover behavior is covered and verified.
