Camera not working as expected?
│
├─ Black/frozen preview?
│  ├─ Check Step 1 (session state)
│  │  ├─ isRunning = false → See Pattern 1 (session not started)
│  │  ├─ inputs = 0 → See Pattern 2 (no camera input)
│  │  └─ isRunning = true, inputs > 0 → See Pattern 3 (preview layer)
│
├─ UI freezes when opening camera?
│  └─ Check Step 2 (threading)
│     └─ Main thread → See Pattern 4 (move to session queue)
│
├─ Camera freezes during use?
│  ├─ After phone call → See Pattern 5 (interruption handling)
│  ├─ In Split View (iPad) → See Pattern 6 (multitasking)
│  └─ Random freezes → See Pattern 7 (thermal pressure)
│
├─ Preview/photo rotated wrong?
│  ├─ Preview rotated → See Pattern 8 (RotationCoordinator preview)
│  ├─ Captured photo rotated → See Pattern 9 (capture rotation)
│  └─ Front camera "wrong" → See Pattern 10 (mirroring expected)
│
├─ Capture too slow?
│  ├─ 2+ seconds delay → See Pattern 11 (quality prioritization)
│  └─ Slight delay → See Pattern 12 (deferred processing)
│
├─ Permission issues?
│  ├─ Status: notDetermined → See Pattern 13 (request permission)
│  └─ Status: denied → See Pattern 14 (settings prompt)
│
└─ Crash on some devices?
   └─ See Pattern 15 (API availability)
