+ * Optional video evidence extraction for pi-twitterapi.io.
+ *
+ * This module is a *pre-processor*: it turns a video post into evidence
+ * (transcript and/or visual notes and/or frames) that is fed to the configured
+ * pi synthesis model. It never writes the final answer, and it never invents
+ * citations.
+ *
+ * Zero runtime dependencies: provider calls are plain `fetch`; ffmpeg and
+ * whisper.cpp are user-installed local binaries (detected at runtime), and every
+ * local process is bounded by a deadline + abort. ffmpeg is only ever handed a
+ * local temp file (`-protocol_whitelist file`, `-nostdin`) — never a URL — so it
+ * cannot bypass the SSRF guards in `media.ts`.
