FFmpeg 9.1 ships the rewritten AAC encoder deferred from 9.0, so `-c:a aac` output changes silently. What to re-measure, how to pin, why it's no security fix.
n8n execution crashed with startedAt null is a 2.45.0 queue mode race, not your workflow. Fix: upgrade to 2.45.1+, then stop blocking the worker event loop.
