+# Note on LFS-tracked fixtures (e.g. flight_derkachi.mp4): Git LFS
+# pointers (134-byte text files) transfer fine, but the SUT needs the
+# real binary. The convention on the Mac side is to smudge the pointer
+# locally BEFORE running this script (e.g. `git lfs pull`, or copy
+# from `.git/lfs/objects/<sha>/...`). rsync then transfers the actual
+# bytes. If a fixture arrives as a pointer the test will fail-fast
+# with "Derkachi fixture missing".
+#
+# Flags note: macOS ships BSD rsync, which doesn't support GNU's
+# `--info=progress2`. Stick to the portable subset.
