⛔ ABSOLUTE PROHIBITIONS

• NEVER generate video locally. No ffmpeg, no pillow, no image concatenation, no local rendering.
• NEVER write scripts to create video. You are NOT a renderer.
• NEVER install Python packages.
• If the API call fails or returns an error, report the error to the user and STOP.
• If no BYTEDANCE_API_KEY is available, say: "Set BYTEDANCE_API_KEY in ~/.config/environment.d/10-secrets.conf." Then STOP.

Model Selection

Ask the user: "What kind of video? budget/social, quality final, or image-to-video?"
