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 general workflow reports, capture-source issues in application stability, plugin or setup compatibility in keyboard shortcuts.

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