Uploaded via GitHub's attachment CDN (drag-and-drop into a comment editor), which is what makes it render as a real inline player rather than a link out to another site. Landed on a 55-second clip after finding the actual constraint the hard way: GitHub's attachment upload has a duration cap somewhere between 55 and 60 seconds — file size, resolution, and audio were all red herrings once a 16MB/720p re-encode still failed and a trivial 3-second synthetic clip succeeded instantly.

Summary
Adds a short demo clip at the top of the Screenshots section, above the static screenshot grid —
a video's the strongest first thing a visitor should see.
It's uploaded via GitHub's own attachment CDN (dragged into a comment editor to get the
user-attachmentslink), pasted as a bare URL rather than wrapped in markdown — that's what makesGitHub render it as a real inline
<video>player with controls, instead of a click-through link.Worth noting for future reference: getting a working upload took some trial and error. File size
and resolution weren't actually the blocker — a 16MB/720p re-encode still failed to upload, while a
tiny 3-second synthetic test clip worked instantly. The real constraint turned out to be video
duration: uploads succeeded at 55 seconds and failed at 60, so the cap sits somewhere in that
5-second window. Landed on a 55-second clip to stay safely under it.
