Portal recording has a hard floor of iOS 16 (iPhone 8) and Chrome 103, and nothing said so anywhere. `checkS3Connectivity` calls `AbortSignal.timeout`, which Safari shipped in 16, and it gates the Record button on every participant session. Below the floor a participant is held behind a modal with no close button, no escape and no click-outside, so "it just doesn't work" had no documented answer. Records the floors and their causes in FACTS.md, then states them in participant, host and feature language. Wake lock lands separately: iOS Safari only got it in 18.4, so on most iPhones in use the screen sleeps and cuts the recording, and the guidance now says so instead of implying dembrane handles it. Every claim is read from code plus MDN compatibility data. No handset has been tested, and the docs say that rather than implying a support matrix exists. Next: the undismissable modal should explain itself rather than stranding old-device participants, and a real device matrix would replace the code-read floors with tested ones.
