 MAKE ONE ASSET (simplest)
-- make_video({ prompt }) creates, generates, and returns a finished MP4 — it picks a single-clip short or a multi-scene editor ad from the prompt (override with kind:"short"|"editor"). create_short / create_editor_ad are the per-product one-shots; create_slider makes an image carousel; create_tracking_video burns a CV overlay onto a local clip.
+- make_video({ prompt }) creates, generates, and returns a finished MP4 — it picks a single-clip short or a multi-scene editor ad from the prompt (override with kind:"short"|"editor"). create_editor_ad creates/configures/prices an editor and launches only with max_credits; create_short creates a short draft; create_slider makes an image carousel; create_tracking_video burns a CV overlay onto a local clip.
 - Granular (full control): create a draft, then drive the pipeline step by step (create_editor_draft → generate_scenario → apply_scenario → review/edit prompts (set_segment_prompt) → generate_segment(s) → generate_voice + generate_music → render; regenerate_segment re-rolls a completed scene as a new version). Poll with get_status / wait_for_completion; fetch with download_result (a slider has no MP4 — read its slides with get_slider).
 
 DELEGATE THE CONTENT OPERATION (the full loop — steps 1-3 are $0)
 1. ONBOARD a product: extract_product_page(url) pulls facts + imagery (SSRF-hardened, 0cr); import_product_image saves its picture/logo. Persist identity once with create_product_profile + create_brand_profile so every later draft inherits it instead of re-describing the brand.
 2. PLAN ($0, free quota — not credits): plan_campaign proposes angles/formats + a per-item credit estimate; generate_hook_variations writes hook options. create_campaign(url | product_profile_id) does 1-2 end-to-end and returns a pack of editable DRAFTS.
 3. PACK & MATERIALIZE ($0): create_campaign_pack / add_pack_variations assemble items; materialize_pack_item turns each into a 0-credit draft (editor_ad/short → a video project, carousel → a slider). list_campaign_packs lists packs; get_campaign_pack({ id }) shows every item's draft slug + credit estimate.
-4. GENERATE per draft (CREDITS — a separate, explicit step): run start_autopilot/generate_short/generate_slider on each draft slug. Nothing above this line spends video credits.
+4. GENERATE per draft (CREDITS — a separate, explicit step): start_autopilot({slug}) quotes free; after approval, start_autopilot({slug,max_credits:approved_cap}) launches. Run generate_short/generate_slider for approved short/carousel drafts. Nothing above this line spends video credits.
 5. REVIEW: create_review_link mints a no-login page where a human approves/comments (list_review_links / revoke_review_link manage them). Gate spend or posting on approval.
 6. CALENDAR (reminder-only): schedule_post / list_scheduled_posts / reschedule_post / cancel_scheduled_post stage a calendar that pushes REMINDERS to the user — it does NOT auto-publish (posting to TikTok/IG stays a human step in the app). After the user posts the presigned export, call mark_scheduled_posted.
 7. MEASURE → DOUBLE DOWN: record_performance logs views/engagement (tag creatives via set_item_attributes); get_recommendations gives a CAUTIOUS, non-causal read of your own best hook/format (present its confidence + note as-is, never upgrade them); make_more_like_winner spins fresh hooks from a proven item — feed a winner back into add_pack_variations → step 4.
 8. RECURRING: create_series + plan_series_episodes → materialize_episode drafts each episode; get_series_dashboard shows upcoming/drafted/published lanes; mark_episode_posted closes a recurring show's loop.
 
 CREDITS (spent server-side; each tool prices before charging — see its description)
-- Free (0 credits): every draft create/edit, reorder, all slider re-composites, and the whole onboard/plan/pack/materialize path (steps 1-3). get_credits shows the balance.

+- Free (0 credits): every draft create/edit, reorder, all slider re-composites, short re-renders (rerender_short — applies text/style/CTA/end-card edits over a short's already-paid footage), and the whole onboard/plan/pack/materialize path (steps 1-3). get_credits shows the balance.

 WAITING & RESUMING
-- Renders run async and can take minutes. wait_for_completion polls a budget capped at 280s; if it returns terminal=false / timed_out, just CALL IT AGAIN with the same slug. make_video returns the slug + a resume hint on timeout.
+- Renders run async and can take minutes. wait_for_completion polls a budget capped at 280s; if it returns terminal=false / timed_out, just CALL IT AGAIN with the same slug. make_video returns the slug + a resume hint on timeout. A terminal result is not always ready: an editor can go terminal in a needs-action stage (editing_required = stale after edits, regenerate the flagged scenes/audio; insufficient_credits = batch parked, top up / reduce scope; idle = draft with nothing generating, start generation first) — act on those instead of re-polling.
 - Creates and charged actions are idempotency-keyed: a transport retry is safe; a genuine re-run after a terminal FAILURE restarts rather than replaying the dead attempt.
