What does this PR do?
Adds restart guardrails to the iKAT FFmpeg recording loop so it recovers from unexpected exits (e.g., UAC/admin launches), and aligns iKAT cleanup tests with the current
.tsrecording format.Why are we doing this?
Recordings can stop early when elevated windows appear. Restarting FFmpeg and keeping tests accurate improves reliability and prevents false negatives.
How should this be tested?
Run:
Invoke-Pester -Path Tests\iCat\Invoke-iKATRecording.Tests.ps1, Tests\iCat\Remove-ExpiredRecordings.Tests.ps1Any deployment notes?
None.
