VFX engine bridge

Shot packages out to comp and 3D. The tracking board stays on /vfx — this bridge only moves the work.

Frame ranges and colour space for comp and 3D.

Handoff

Out: Shot package: plates, camera data, frame range, and the shot ID from the board.
Back: Rendered EXR sequence or pre-comp, conformed to the plate's colour space.
Farm: Heavy sims and final renders queue to the farm; the artist box is for lookdev.
Gate: Comp lands inside the restraint envelope — no hero look introduced downstream.
