Research direction
Open files/en-us/web/html/reference/elements/img/index.md and review the attributes section. Compare the existing documentation with the WHATWG pull request linked in the issue, then document the missing controls attribute. Done means the attribute appears in the img reference with accurate information, including a fullscreen example rather than playback controls.
