Research direction

Reproduce the issue on the affected app version by starting a recording, then inspect the recording screen and the code that supplies the graphic above the record/pause button. The report names no files or tests, so first locate that screen and any related animation tests. Done means the recording graphic appears instead of an empty grey square.
