Consistent WebKit/Safari Crash on iOS/iPadOS via Live URL

Hi everyone,
I've identified a consistent issue where the entire browser window crashes when accessing the live URL. This seems to primarily affect iPads and certain iPhone models.
While monitoring the affected iPad via the macOS Console, I caught several WebKit/GPU process crash errors. Here is a snippet of the relevant logs:
error 17:18:58.471455+0530 com.apple.Safari.History Failed to update source of visit 9739: Error Domain=com.apple.Safari.SQLite Code=19 "constraint failed" UserInfo={WBSPrivacyPreservingDescription=constraint failed}

Note: I’ve omitted the rest of the logs for brevity, but I can share the full output if needed.
To effectively isolate and debug this, best next step is to create a minimal, client-side reproducible environment/code that connects to Neko with a livestream.
Could you help me put together this minimal reproducible example?
