+     * Cancelling a *running* export stops it, completing #224's third engine.
+     *
+     * The two FFmpeg engines were done first (`ad2a75d`, `d293646`); this is
+     * `Media3Engine.transcode`'s `invokeOnCancellation`, which posts `transformer.cancel()` onto the
+     * engine's own `HandlerThread` because `cancel()` has the same single-thread requirement as
+     * `start()`.
+     *
+     * ## Why the assertion is the output file here, and was not for FFmpeg
+     *
+     * The FFmpeg side could not use the file: `invokeOnCancellation` unlinks it, and on POSIX ffmpeg
+     * keeps writing to the unlinked inode, so the path stays gone whether or not the cancel landed.
+     * It asserted the session's return code instead.
+     *
+     * `Media3Engine` deletes nothing — the partial is `ConversionWorker`'s to clean up — so the file
+     * *is* the evidence. An export that was cancelled leaves no moov atom, so `MediaExtractor`
+     * either finds no video track or refuses the file outright with
+     * `IOException: Failed to instantiate extractor` — measured, and both mean interrupted. One
+     * that ran to completion leaves a playable HEVC file, which is the only outcome treated as a
+     * miss. The wait before
+     * reading it is deliberately several times the length of the export, so a *non*-cancelled export
+     * has certainly finished by then: the failure direction is "the file became valid", never "we
+     * did not wait long enough".
+     *
+     * ## Why it retries
+     *
+     * Same reason as the other two, measured there: the committed fixture is 3 s at 320x240 and the
+     * export outruns a naive cancel on a loaded runner. An attempt whose export finished before the
+     * cancel landed has tested nothing, so it is a miss and is retried; only exhausting
+     * [CANCEL_ATTEMPTS] fails. With `transformer.cancel()` removed every attempt produces a playable
+     * file, so the mutation still bites — it just takes five tries to say so.
+     *
+     * Progress having been reported is what proves the export really started, so a miss is
+     * distinguishable from an export that never ran at all — which matters on the API 37 image,
+     * where the decoder is what fails.
