User reference michael no mac

Michael (Justin's brother, Gus The Bass co-creator) owns only an iPhone and a Windows PC. He has no Mac.

Why it matters: The clean iCloud caption-export path (osxphotos reading the Photos library DB) requires a Mac signed into his Apple ID. Without a Mac, that path is completely blocked. Any ingest design for the Gus clip library must account for this: the two-source approach (icloudpd for footage + osxphotos for captions) is not available without acquiring a Mac in the workflow.

How to apply: When designing the Gus clip-library ingest or any workflow that involves Michael's Photos library metadata, do NOT propose osxphotos as the solution unless a Mac has been added to the equation. Alternative caption-capture paths to consider: (1) build a caption-input UI inside clips.justinsforge.com itself, (2) accept Michael's existing Photos captions via a Windows-based Photos export tool, or (3) future: iPhone shortcut + API to POST captions directly. Caption UX must be phone-native and one frictionless step or it won't happen in practice.
