If you save more than 5 - 6 videos the older ones get deleted

[roshan0099]

Describe the bug
If you save more than 5/6 videos in the default recording location, you wont be able to recover the older mp4 videos even tho their metadata will still be present in the Projects folder

Screenshots

Youre gonna find similar popup when u try to open them up as in the ui you can still see them when you click on projects

Desktop (please complete the following information):

• OS: Mac OS (Sequoia)
• Version 15.5

Clarification: the threshold is 20 recordings/14 days, UX could be improved

I traced this to the retention prune logic.

Right now old auto-recordings are only protected when a sibling project file exists next to the video. Saved Recordly projects live under recordings/Projects, so a recording can still be pruned even though a saved project in Projects/ still references it.

I opened a fix here:

• fix(recordings): preserve media referenced by saved projects #282
