+     * The percentage itself, which every other test in this class computes and none of them reads.
+     *
+     * `FFmpegEngine` derives progress as `stats.time / durationMs * 100`, and the statistics
+     * callback runs on every conversion here — but every call site omits `onProgress`, so until
+     * this test nothing on any source set had ever looked at the number (#229). #196 covered the
+     * *worker's* progress lambda, and did it with a fake engine that reports whatever the test
+     * tells it to; `ProgressNotificationTest` covers throttling the same way. The arithmetic was
+     * the one part with no reader.
+     *
+     * ## Why the duration is deliberately wrong
+     *
+     * `sample_h264.mp4` is exactly 3.000 s, and this passes **30 s** as the duration. So the
+     * conversion still encodes the whole clip, `stats.time` still climbs to about 3000 ms, and the
+     * reported percentage tops out around **10** rather than 100.
+     *
+     * That is what makes the assertion bite. A range check alone is worthless here: replacing
+     * `percent` with a constant `0` satisfies "every value is in 0..100" and "the values never go
+     * backwards", and so does a list of `[0, 100]`. Pinning the *band* rejects every constant, and
+     * — because the band is a tenth of the way up — it also rejects an implementation that ignores
+     * `durationMs`, which would report ~100 for the same run.
+     *
+     * The bound is deliberately loose (5..25 for an expected 10). The last statistics callback can
+     * land slightly before the final frame, so the peak is "about 3000 ms of a claimed 30 000",
+     * not exactly it.
