Render farm
The worker encode queue. Plans are built on /jobs, /export, and /longform — the farm executes them after a human confirms.

Handoff
- Out
- An ffmpeg plan with an idempotency key, never a command run on the spot.
- Back
- Encoded deliverable plus the job's terminal state — completed or failed with cause.
- Scheduling
- Long encodes belong here, not on a grading box. Suites iterate; the farm renders.
- Gate
- Export-class jobs require a recorded rubric pass before they are authorized.
Boundary law
- EditForge owns project ID, rubric, and the ship decision
- The engine owns pixels, GPU, and realtime playback
- No silent auto-ship across this bridge
