one bullet per flag, bestie. nothing skipped, nothing merged, all facts intact 💜

ngl bestie, the opposite pairs above (--mouse / --no-mouse, --enforce-max-volume / --no-enforce-max-volume, --lazy-capture / --no-lazy-capture) are on/off switches for the same behaviour — pick whichever one matches the vibe you want. that's straight from the page, no guessing 💖
