AUXSAYS verdict TEST FIRST

Test on a backup profile before using this OBS build for live streams or important recordings, especially if your setup depends on plugins, capture devices, audio routing, or large scene collections.

Current reports mention audio mixer or routing issues in audio mixer UI.

This is report-backed caution guidance, not a clean safe signal.

Too few reports for a verdict yet.
