Record the first end-to-end chapter and two stages that lie

The run completed: chapter.mp4 at 50MiB from 49 clips. layers reported
completed 116/116 with an empty bucket, so nothing has parallax, and the completed
job still carries the error string from a failure three resumes earlier. Both
recorded as caveats, neither fixed.
