Task

Record the Unity Game View while Play Mode is running, or any Editor window with --window-name, then hand the file path to the user or inspect frames from it.

Workflow

1. For a Game View recording, ensure Play Mode is running (uloop control-play-mode --action Play) and the Game View is open; start fails in Edit Mode. With --window-name the recording targets that Editor window instead and needs no Play Mode.
2. uloop record-video --action start [options]. It returns immediately; encoding continues inside the Editor.
3. Drive the scene with other uloop commands (simulate-keyboard, simulate-mouse-input, replay-input, ...). Do not run uloop compile or exit Play Mode mid-recording: both auto-stop and finalize the file.
4. uloop record-video --action stop. The file is playable only after this call (or after an auto-stop).
5. Read OutputPath from the JSON and use exactly that path. The output directory holds earlier recordings too (the newest 20 per extension are kept), so ls -t can pick a stale file.
6. To inspect the content yourself, extract stills with ffmpeg (e.g. ffmpeg -i "<OutputPath>" -vf fps=1 frames_%03d.png) and view the PNGs. Otherwise report the path and duration to the user.
