Research direction

Start with examples/session_01_record_example.py and compare its behavior with run_all_examples.py. Inspect the existing .stop() handling and the animation loop, then make the example exit after a timeout without requiring the window to be killed. Done means it can run as part of run_all_examples.py and terminate on its own.
