Research direction

Start by reproducing the green screen flow in the editor using the listed steps, then trace the camera chooser and permission-request path. Done means selecting Green background handles camera permission without requiring the user to disable and re-enable green screen; the issue names no file or test, so locate the relevant UI entry point first.
