Research direction

Start by reviewing the OBS log at https://obsproject.com/logs/h8PEmp3vsgRsoD9W and reproducing the hardlock on Fedora 44 KDE with OBS Studio 32.2.1. Check the reported sequence of starting a recording and fullscreening on another monitor; done requires identifying the cause and confirming that the PC no longer hardlocks during that sequence.
