Capture the meeting and preserve its evidence.

What the workflow delivers

1. Prepare meeting context. Create and save the actual meeting and agenda in Meetings. Assign each selected agenda item to that meeting. A recording request cannot substitute an editable meeting label for the canonical records.
2. Open the operator. Sign in as authorized staff. Use the configured local operator command with the explicit native profile root. It obtains a short-lived one-use browser ticket; the native proof is not placed in the URL.
3. Choose the input. Select the meeting, assigned agenda and administrator-configured live-source ID. For recorded-file work, place the source in the managed ingest directory and optionally supply an SRT sidecar. Callers cannot submit arbitrary pipelines or filesystem paths.
4. Capture and stop. Start capture and distinguish waiting for a signal from active recording. Stop requests pipeline drain. Wait for completed status and validated output; a partial, failed or interrupted attempt is not a completed recording.

Connected evidence

Meetings → Station → Records is the accepted recording workflow. Townlight owns current session authority; Station owns its database, storage and media children. Standalone CivicCast remains separate, with no shared configuration, service, data directory or automatic updater fallback.

Know the beta boundary

There is no Station first-run wizard or automatic activation by the desktop composition. The accepted normal-profile path uses an explicitly configured paired Townlight HTTP process. Physical encoder/network, remote identity, SCM commissioning, CDN delivery and long-duration field quality are not certified. Station does not perform automatic meeting speech recognition.

Windows Sandbox acceptance passed.

The Windows acceptance summary records the workflows exercised with synthetic data on the released MSI. This is not a claim that every screen, vendor, upgrade or city equipment configuration has been certified.
