+## 📝 Notes
+
+- Recorded files are saved in the app's **cache directory** as `.m4a` (AAC, 44.1kHz, 128kbps, mono)
+- `onVolumeUpdate` fires at 100ms intervals — use `normalized` (0.0–1.0) to drive waveform visualizer bars
+- `onSecondsUpdate` fires once per second only on whole-second boundaries to avoid flooding JS
+- `useBT: false` (default) forces the phone's **built-in microphone** even when Bluetooth headphones are connected — this prevents Lightning/Bluetooth accessories from switching to low-quality HFP mode
+- `seekTo` is safe to call immediately after `onStatus: 'PLAYING'` fires
+- Calling `stopPlayback` cleans up all native observers — no memory leaks
