For a path without a trailing slash that returns the parent, so make-directory created the parent and left the selected directory uncreated — ffmpeg then failed to write into it. Both toggles now route the destination through cj/recording--normalize-recording-dir, which expands and applies file-name-as-directory, then call make-directory on that normalized path. The selected directory itself is created (parents=t is a no-op when it already exists), including names with spaces. Tests cover trailing-slash normalization, idempotence, spaces, and relative-to-absolute expansion.
