+ * file the user asked to be H.265 — Transformer does exactly as told, the export succeeds, and

+ * Worse, one arm carried an assertion instead of a value:

+ * ```
+ * // Never reached: only an Encode plan consults this, and COPY/NONE are not Encode.
+ * ```
+ *
+ * That is a claim about *callers* parked in a branch of a callee. It happens to be true, and
+ * nothing whatsoever checked it, so it would have gone on reading as true after it stopped being.
+ *
+ * Three kinds of test, because arm-by-arm equality alone would only pin today's answers:
+ *
+ * 1. Every arm of both tables, nulls included.
+ * 2. The "never reached" claim, proved over every plan [CopyPlanner] can produce.
+ * 3. The tables against [ConversionRouter]'s actual decisions rather than against its codec sets —
+ *    the comments claim behaviour ("the router routes them to FFmpeg"), and a set can be right
+ *    while the rule that reads it is wrong.
+ *
