Technique notes: FamilySearch downloads go through the browser pane. fetch(…/dz/v1/3:1:<ARK>/dist.jpg) → blob → <a download>. The file lands in Downloads as a temporary .tmp; a watcher copies it to the scratch inbox. Older microfilm JPEGs carry a “film X, frame N” comment; newer Brazil images don’t, so they are matched by byte size.
