- name: Install ffmpeg
# fonts-dejavu-core is not optional. The drawtext call in
# video_reviewer.py passes no fontfile=, so it asks fontconfig for a
# default family; with --no-install-recommends the runner can end up
# with an ffmpeg that has drawtext and no font for it to use.
- name: Ensure ffmpeg and fonts
# Hosted Ubuntu images can already include both. Unconditional apt
# update has hung until the 10-minute job timeout (Python 3.13 CI),
# preventing the test suite from running at all. Only install what is
# missing and bound apt network operations so the failure is visible.
