Preservation First
Artist-authored typography, logos, people, product art, and approved motion remain immutable. Generative video supplies suitable motion—not the protected delivery layer.

Video Post-Mortem Guardrails
The post-mortem is now operational configuration—not just commentary. The updated skills route providers by motion need, preserve approved picture baselines, reject impossible flattened-art reconstruction, verify the reviewer’s exact defect, and stop repeated local fixes after two misses.

Behavior Now Enforced
Provider Routing
Hailuo favors restrained, composition-stable motion. Kling favors clearer walking and equipment travel. Neither is treated as an occlusion-reconstruction tool.
Exact-Defect QA
A render fails when the defect Greg named remains, even if the file decodes and the rest of the frame looks stable. The exact timestamp and annotation control acceptance.
Two-Failure Stop
After two misses on the same local repair, full renders stop. The workflow switches to a layered source, clean recomposition, short proof, or simpler motion.
