-"""Behaviorally-verified facts about the DaVinci Resolve scripting API.
-
-The Resolve scripting API is under-documented and frequently behaves differently
-from its apparent signature: methods live on objects you wouldn't expect, return
-values lie, string keys are silently rejected, and some documented-looking calls
-don't exist. This module records facts we have *verified against live Resolve* so
-agents and code can look the reality up instead of rediscovering it the hard way.
-
-Each entry is a small dict. Grow it opportunistically — every readback recipe and
-every fix that uncovers a surprising behavior should add an entry. Facts are
-stamped with the Resolve build they were verified on so drift is visible when a
-new version ships.
-
-Optional keys on an entry feed the Blackmagic-facing limitations report
-(``docs/reference/api-limitations.md``, generated by
-``scripts/gen_api_limitations.py``):
-
-  - ``submit``: ``"missing"`` (a capability Blackmagic should add) or ``"bug"``
-    (a behavior Blackmagic should fix). Entries without ``submit`` are internal
-    quirks/tips and stay out of the report.
-  - ``issue``: GitHub issue number (int) that drove the finding, for cross-ref.
-
-When you add or change a ``submit``-tagged entry, regenerate the report
-(``venv/bin/python scripts/gen_api_limitations.py``) or the
-``tests.test_api_limitations_doc`` drift guard fails.
