| Session Replay may mask an entire layer subtree if Core Animation raises an exception while the SDK inspects it. This privacy-safe fallback prevents the exception from crashing your app and avoids exposing content that the SDK could not inspect for sensitive data. |

DESCRIBE YOUR PR
Add troubleshooting guidance for Session Replay regions that become completely masked when Core Animation raises during layer traversal.
The entry explains the privacy-safe fallback, identifies mismatched
CABasicAnimationendpoint types as a possible cause, provides incorrect and corrected Swift examples, and shows the related SDK warning. This documents the behavior introduced by getsentry/sentry-cocoa#8537.IS YOUR CHANGE URGENT?
