I was about to comment that this is dangerously racy, as stop() clears
the descriptors_ queue. Laurent confirmed me offline that not only
libcamera::Camera::stop() completes all the in-flight requests, but
that the slots connected to the Camera::requestCompleted signal are
invoked in blocking mode. Hence, it is safe to keep the descriptor in
the queue for the duration of the slot

Fits on the previous line as well ?

In production builds Fatal won't tear down the library. I think after
the framework receives an CAMERA3_MSG_ERROR_DEVICE it will probably
just close the camera, but in any case, shouldn't you pop() the queue
here ?
