Research direction

Start by reviewing the OBS log at https://obsproject.com/logs/VAedyOFk28X1yJbJ and reproducing the issue on CachyOS with KDE Plasma. Run OBS with the replay buffer active, then use the desktop shutdown action and observe the “Logout cancelled by OBS” notification. Done means the PC can shut down or log out while the replay buffer is active.
