Whisper's snap_pause_point() finds the nearest sentence boundary
independently per cue, which can move a later cue's pause_point before
an earlier cue's. The renderer then sorts by pause_point, producing
non-sequential cue indices in the timeline.
Add a forward monotonicity pass (clamp each pause_point >= previous) at
three layers for defense-in-depth:
- whisper_service: Phase 3 after consolidation
- video_renderer: before temporal sort in _render_pause_insert_method
- rerender_accessible_video: in _build_placements_with_adjustments

When a new AD cue is inserted in the middle of existing cues, the system

Existing jobs in the database don't have source_ms field. Making it

source_ms is None.

The re-render task was using pause point coordinates from the accessible
video timeline (which includes freeze frame durations) instead of the
original source video coordinates. This caused pause points to exceed
the source video duration and get clamped incorrectly.

- Add source_ms field to PausePointData model to store source video cut point
- Update video_renderer.py to populate source_ms when building pause points
- Update rerender_accessible_video.py to use source_ms for placement calculations
- Apply user adjustments as relative offsets (delta-based adjustment)
- Update API responses and TypeScript types to include source_ms
- Add backward compatibility fallback for jobs without source_ms
Note: Existing jobs need to be re-processed from initial render to populate
the new source_ms field.

The previous implementation incorrectly used _get_video_duration which
in Cloud Run mode uses the cached source video URI instead of actually
measuring the freeze segment files. This caused all freeze segments to
report the source video duration (~78s) instead of their actual duration.
Changed to use _get_video_duration_local directly since freeze segments
are local files and need to be measured directly via ffprobe.

MongoDB was rejecting status updates to 'tts_failed' and 'render_failed'
because these values weren't in the schema validator's enum, even though
they were defined in the Python JobStatus model.
This caused TTS failures to leave jobs stuck in 'tts_generating' status

the status and error fields from being updated.

The TTS error handling had a bug where failed jobs stayed in
'tts_generating' status instead of being set to 'tts_failed'.
Root cause: synthesize_cue_task used autoretry_for=(Exception,)
which raises the original exception after max retries, not
MaxRetriesExceededError. The exception handler never fired.
Changes:
- tts_synthesis.py: Replace autoretry_for with manual retry logic
that returns a failure dict on final failure instead of raising
- translate_and_synthesize.py: Add propagate=False to group.get()
to safely retrieve all results including failures
- translate_and_synthesize.py: Update outer exception handler to
set job status to tts_failed, store error details, and broadcast
status update via WebSocket

The VTT retimer had two bugs causing subtitles to display during freeze
periods and become out of sync:
1. Same offset applied to both start and end times (should differ when

2. Cues spanning pause points weren't split (causing captions during freeze)
Changes:
- Add _offset_at() for timestamps AT or AFTER pause points
- Add _offset_before() for timestamps STRICTLY BEFORE pause points
- Add _retime_cue() to split cues at pause points into multiple segments
- Add _filter_short_segments() to remove <100ms segments after splitting
- Rewrite retime_for_pause_insert() to use new helper methods
Example fix for cue 8s-12s with pause at 10s (4s freeze):

When a pause point falls between two sentences, the previous algorithm
created a visual jump-back where the video rewound to resume_from after
the AD played. This was distracting to viewers.
New behavior:
- Video plays normally to pause_point
- Freeze frame shows + AD audio plays
- Freeze frame CONTINUES while source audio from [resume_from, pause_point]
plays (the "catch-up" audio)
- Video resumes smoothly from pause_point (no visual jump)
The audio from the overlap region plays twice (once during video, once
during freeze extension) but this is acceptable as it's typically <1s
and provides natural audio context around the AD.
Implementation:
- Add _extract_audio_segment() to extract catch-up audio from source
- Add _concatenate_audio() to join AD + catch-up audio
- Modify render loop to create extended freeze segments with combined audio
- Resume video from pause_point instead of resume_from

Completely rewrites the Whisper-based pause point refinement to use
a two-phase approach with explicit ordering:
Phase 1 - Individual refinement:
1. Check if pause point is "during speaking" (words within ±2s)
- If NOT during speaking → use Gemini's exact point, no overlap
2. If during speaking, find nearest sentence boundary
3. Apply appropriate buffering based on context:
- Case A: First sentence → pause 500ms before sentence starts
- Case B: Last sentence → pause 500ms after sentence ends
- Case C: Between sentences → full double buffer (overlap)
Phase 2 - Consolidation (after all refinements):
- Consolidate cues within 5s of each other to play back-to-back
Key changes:
- Add SentenceBoundary dataclass for tracking boundaries with context
- Add _is_during_speaking() helper to detect speech proximity
- Add _find_sentence_boundaries() with longest-gap fallback

Previously, all consolidated cues shared the same pause_point AND
resume_from, which caused the overlap video segment to play between
each AD cue in a consolidated group.
Now consolidated cues are treated as a single AD segment:
- All cues in a group share the same pause_point (front buffer once)
- Only the LAST cue keeps resume_from (back buffer once)
- Other cues have resume_from = pause_point (no video between ADs)
This ensures consolidated ADs play seamlessly back-to-back:
- Video plays up to pause_point (front buffer)
- AD_1 plays
- AD_2 plays immediately (no video)
- AD_n plays immediately (no video)
- Video resumes from resume_from (back buffer)
