 "title": "The OpenMV N6 accepts only three framesizes and three formats, rejects YUV422 and JPEG, and silently ignores set_windowing",
 "symptom": "The csi module advertises dozens of framesize and format constants, but most combinations fail. YUV422 and JPEG raise 'Sensor control failed'. set_windowing() returns without error and has no effect at all, which is worse than failing.",
