What playlists_trigger_next does on Propresenter

Why playlists_trigger_next is rated High

This tool triggers a playback operation (next item) in ProPresenter, which is an external effect that depends on the current playlist state. While not destructive or irreversible, it executes a command that changes the presentation system's runtime state. The blast radius is medium: accidental or malicious triggering could disrupt a live presentation, but the effect is reversible (can trigger previous).
