Retry renderer failures with WebGL and route unsupported or failed Annex B H.264 encoding through bundled FFmpeg rawvideo.\n\nRefs webadderallorg#644\nRefs webadderallorg#948
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe exporter now retries renderer failures with WebGL, falls back from h264-stream to rawvideo native export, writes raw pixel frames to FFmpeg, and reports renderer and encoder attempt details. ChangesNative export resilience

- Around line 2968-2975: Update the rawvideo branch guarded by nativeInputMode
and nativeExportSessionId to perform the nativeEncoderError check and
maxNativeWriteInFlight backpressure wait before capturePixelsForNativeExport.
Reuse awaitOldestNativeWrite, return when cancelled, and recheck
nativeEncoderError after each wait, matching the H.264 path.

Apply native-write backpressure to rawvideo frames.
The rawvideo branch queues each frame and returns without checking nativeWritePromises. flushPendingNativeWriteBatch tracks each write until it settles, so writes can accumulate with the frame count when IPC or FFmpeg is slower than rendering. This can cause memory growth and export failure.
Use the same maxNativeWriteInFlight wait and error checks as the H.264 branch before pixel capture.
