Tiny timestamps still interact with heavy compression
Route `timestamp-corner-remove` deals with monospace digits on macroblocked corners. Compliance may require timestamps to remain—confirm before editing. Higher bitrate sources reduce patch visibility. Check for flicker across frames when digits change.
Suggested steps for timestamp-corner-remove
- Get legal/compliance approval when evidence chains matter.
- Zoom into block boundaries; inpaint only the glyph footprint if possible.
- Spot-check multiple timestamps to catch animation artifacts.

Internal review wants `timestamp-corner-remove`—what might compliance object to?
Evidence workflows often require timecode; obtain written approval and record who authorized removal.
The corner stamp font shifts per frame and batch scripts fail—now what?
