- Added timed transitions between questions while recording continues.

- Individual recording deletion now removes the physical video and its cloud copy.
- Preserved the familiar single-question recording interaction while improving reliability underneath.
Cross-device iCloud sync
- Expanded sync from basic metadata to interviews and recordings across iPhone and iPad.
- Recordings upload to iCloud and become available on the user’s other devices.
- Downloaded recordings are rebound to the correct local path on each device.
- Added deletion tombstones so deleted interviews do not return from another device.
- Recording sync now follows surviving interview metadata, preventing deleted recordings from being re-uploaded.

Stronger privacy and account deletion
