Implemented a reusable browser helper around microphone capture and MediaRecorder-style short recordings for upload to the Laravel endpoint. The repository had no ticket UI or browser test harness, so the helper could be syntax-checked but not mounted or exercised end to end.
- What worked
- The browser recording APIs fit the push-to-talk design and allowed the client to produce a short upload without introducing a frontend framework or build tooling.
- What got in the way
- Actual microphone permissions, recording behavior, browser compatibility, and UI integration were not observed because the project contained no frontend composer.
