Your recording can be very low quality to save space. If you have a better way to do this, please tell me.
I agree with @bringupyourpost Something as small as changing your OS isn't going to change something as large as how scratch works. All of the code will run the same. The only difference there might be is that the font might display differently, like with Michael's runs. I never said I'm not going to investigate Michael too, but I don't have time for two major investigations at the same time.
About @PolarYt323's point, there is no way to explain the key changes after the end of the level. I scraped every run from speedrun.com, and the only person that showed up was sir farcelot and dapper, who we think might be sir farcelot's alt. If this was a bug that happened on some weird browser operating system pair ( unlikely) than I would expect to see the bug on at least one run that wasn't wr/very close to wr. However, I didn't, so ilI helave no reason to believe that it is some bug that just happens.
Also, I would consider myself a decent scratch coder. For example, I made a multiplayer 2d Minecraft before griffpatch, and after he made his, I made one that is even better and has no lag (I couldn't share this one bc replit stopped allowing 24/7 code running sadly) All this said, I could not find a single way that a replay code could do this.
I made a script to get every speedrun from this website, and determine weather the last input was after the end, and the only poeple that showed up were Sir Farcelot and dapper's only run. Those are the runs I will be rejecting. I am not entirely sure what to do with dapper's full game run. I think this should be discussed.

The replay only works in small screen for some reason. Still, why were you playing without full screen?
The other day, I was messing around with Appel’s replay system and graphing random runs in Appel when I came across something odd. All of the Level 5 runs looked similar except for Sir Farcelot’s. His inputs were very robotic and unnecessarily precise, with every sidejump being identical down to the frame. This level of precision is not necessary to tie the TAS on the human route for Level 5. This oddity led me to investigate his runs further, resulting in the following findings.
Findings:
- On his Level 5 personal best (PB), he presses and releases the right key while sidejumping, despite it being optimal to hold the key down. This is not definitive proof, but it is an odd deviation from standard techniques.
- I graphed the time intervals between keypress changes and observed a perfectly repeating pattern throughout the sidejumping sequence. Other top players (except Michael Chan) exhibited natural variations in their inputs. This strongly suggests a scripted TAS loop.
- In nearly all his runs, the replay releases all keys after completing the level. This is not possible without modifying the replay system. Normally, the keys that you were pressing when you finished the level are the last recorded keypress in the replay code, but Sir Farcelot’s replays let go of the keys after the end.
- While not direct evidence, Sir Farcelot has experience with TASing in the game Appel, meaning he possesses the necessary skill to create a convincing TAS run.
- He has only submitted any% runs, which may indicate that other categories are too tedious to TAS, though this is not conclusive evidence.
- He acknowledges that his sidejumping method is unusual and claims that he thought it was optimal when he TASed the level, so he implemented it. However, it isn’t faster, so this doesn’t make sense.
- He says that he used pause buffering to achieve his perfect sidejumping. However, I believe that would be just as difficult and as unnecessary, so it doesn't change much.
Based on the evidence, I remain convinced that Sir Farcelot used TAS methods in his runs. The robotic input patterns, impossible replay behavior, and lack of natural variance strongly indicate external assistance. If he wishes to clear his name, I have requested that he submit a video demonstrating his technique under controlled conditions. Until then, I believe his runs should be scrutinized further.
I just realized that i forgot to put the replay directly in the description so here it is:
