## What
- enforce a finite, validated `meta/videos.json` contract shared by Plan v1 and Plan v2
- preserve authored finite ends and source-derived trim-aware ends; bound any still-open end at the validated composition end
- fail distributed planning when any declared video source did not extract instead of publishing a blank-capable plan
- make the v1 chunk reader reject malformed/null video timing before frame injection
- route deterministic video-source/metadata failures as non-retryable in AWS and GCP while retaining retries for transient extraction failures
## Why
An open-ended video whose remote source could not be resolved retained `Infinity` through planning. Plan v2 correctly rejected that value, while Plan v1 serialized it as `null`; the v1 frame lookup could then suppress injected frames and silently produce incorrect output.
The invariant belongs at the shared metadata boundary. Both protocols must receive identical finite timing, and unavailable sources must fail closed before plan publication.
## Test plan
- [x] producer distributed planning, metadata, v1 chunk boundary, Plan v2 conversion/materialization, and public exports
- [x] core runtime media semantics (authored slots, natural duration, looping, non-looping hold)
- [x] engine video extraction and frame lookup
- [x] AWS Lambda/CDK/SAM and GCP Cloud Run error normalization/retry classification
- [x] producer, core, engine, AWS, and GCP typechecks/builds
- [x] formatting, oxlint, tracked-artifact, fallow, and commit hooks
- [x] exact incident composition replayed through the AWS Lambda handler's Lambda-local path in a Lambda-like container; Plan v1 and Plan v2 both fail closed as `VIDEO_SOURCE_UNRENDERABLE` during planning, before plan publication
- [x] full PR CI, including all nine regression shards and Windows render/tests
No production flags or deployment/release workflows are changed.
canvas.drawElementImage is an unlaunched Dev/Canary-only Blink feature
(~151+). The CLI's pinned CHROME_VERSION fallback was still 131.0.6778.85 —
a puppeteer 24→25.2.1 bump that pinned it to Chrome Dev 151.0.7912.0 was
written on 2026-06-29 but never merged (orphaned local commit, no PR). Any
render on that pin, or on the shared puppeteer-cache binary, or on system
Chrome (Stable, no drawElementImage at all) got a canvas.getContext("2d")
missing the method and crashed mid-capture with "ctx.drawElementImage is
not a function" instead of falling back (HF#2060).
Three changes:
- Bump puppeteer/puppeteer-core to ^25.2.1 across every package that
depends on it, and CHROME_VERSION to 152.0.7928.2 (today's Dev channel;
confirmed via direct probe to implement drawElementImage, unlike 131).
- `ensureBrowser({ preferManagedChrome: true })`, always used by `render`:
resolve straight to our pinned/cached build, skipping both the shared
puppeteer-cache preference and system Chrome. Rendering shouldn't depend
on whatever arbitrary Chrome a machine happens to have — that's exactly
how this regressed (any Mac with Chrome.app installed bypassed the CLI's
pin entirely).
- A runtime capability probe in the engine, right before any other
drawElement work: if `drawElementImage` isn't a function on the injected
canvas, route to the existing screenshot-fallback gate instead of
crashing. This is the real backstop — it protects every resolution path
(env override, stale cache entry, a future Chrome regression), not just
the ones `preferManagedChrome` reaches.
Verified end-to-end: rendering against chrome-headless-shell 131 (confirmed
to lack drawElementImage) now falls back cleanly and produces a valid MP4
instead of crashing; rendering against a capable build still engages
drawElement normally. 922 engine tests + 1373 CLI tests pass.
Fixes#2060.
