Two review findings on the floor/telemetry PR:
1. powerStateFields() is spread into the properties object at the CALL SITE,
so it ran before trackEvent's own `if (!shouldTrack()) return` guard —
telemetry-disabled installs paid two blocking `pmset` subprocess spawns
per render for an event that was then discarded. Now short-circuits on
shouldTrack() (memoized, so no cost on the tracked path). Regression test
asserts pmset is not sampled when telemetry is off; fault-injection
verified it fails without the guard.
2. The DE parallel router pinned workerCount to 3 and skipped calibration
even when verified parallel DE STREAMING — the entire reason for the pin
— could not run for that render. The common case is a composition over
streamingEncodeMaxDurationSeconds (240 s default): the duration cap
disables streaming before the router's force flag is consulted, so the
render got a hard-coded 3 workers chosen by a benchmark for a path it was
not on, instead of the calibrated count. shouldPreferParallelDrawElement
now takes parallelStreamingAvailable and withholds the bet without it.

Three review findings on the win32 drawElement PR:
1. gpu_renderer shipped the raw UNMASKED_RENDERER_WEBGL string — unbounded,
driver-authored, GPU-model-specific, and |-joined across parallel
sessions, i.e. high cardinality by construction, against this file's own
convention of sanitizing engine-sourced strings (deGateReason is a
bucket; error messages go through redactTelemetryString). Now bucketed at
the source by classifyGpuRenderer to <backend>/<vendor>
(metal/apple, d3d11/nvidia, swiftshader/other, ...), which is the whole
analytic signal the win32 rollout needs and nothing else. The raw string
never leaves the engine.
2. gpu_renderer reached render_complete only, so a crashed render — the
cohort the field exists to attribute — carried no backend. It now rides
RenderCaptureObservability (deGpuRenderer, sourced from the live probe
session like the de_* counters), so both render_complete and
render_error carry it and a hard failure still reports its GPU backend.
On render_complete the perfSummary value still wins by spread order.
3. Restore the fallow-ignore-next-line suppression above
__resetDeParallelRouterTrialStateForTests: CLI test files are not fallow
entry points, so removing it fails the CI dead-code audit (local
pre-commit passed only because of its changed-file scope).

## 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.
Widen the default-on drawElement clamp from darwin-only to darwin|win32
(still requiring a non-software-GPU browser). The darwin restriction was a
validation envelope, not an architectural limit — the CanvasDrawElement
Chrome flag ships on every platform, and every safety layer that made the
macOS default-on release (v0.7.38) survivable is platform-neutral:
compile-time gates, the SwiftShader init gate, per-render worker-encode
self-verification with screenshot fallback, and the blank guard. Worst case
on an unvalidated D3D11 backend is the same as on Metal: verify catches a
bad frame and the render re-runs on the screenshot baseline.
Why now: 30-day telemetry shows ~206k non-CI hardware-GPU Windows renders
(~78% of the win32 fleet, 18k installs) held on the slow screenshot path by
the clamp — the second-largest perf population after macOS, carrying ~1,550
capture-hours/month in the DE-eligible >=700-frame band alone at a measured
~2x speedup opportunity.
Instrumentation for the new cohort: drawElement session init now records the
raw WebGL UNMASKED_RENDERER_WEBGL string (detectSwiftShader generalized to
detectGpuBackend — same single evaluate, the string was previously read and
discarded) and threads it session -> CapturePerfSummary -> RenderPerfSummary
-> render_complete as `gpu_renderer`. drawElement damage proved
compositor-backend-specific throughout the macOS rollout, so D3D11-cohort
failures must cluster by ANGLE backend + GPU vendor (NVIDIA/AMD/Intel), not
just `os`.
The two DE clamp branches are extracted into a pure, unit-tested
`resolveDefaultDrawElement` (platform + GPU mode + worker-encode + explicit
opt-in), which also drops resolveConfig's cyclomatic complexity. The win32
streaming-encode compound tests collapse onto one shared helper.
Linux stays excluded: that fleet is headless/Docker SwiftShader, where DE
has no speedup and known rendering defects. Kill switches unchanged:
PRODUCER_EXPERIMENTAL_FAST_CAPTURE=false, --experimental-fast-capture=false.

HF_DE_PARALLEL_MIN_FRAMES default 2000 -> 700, re-calibrated by a controlled
crossover sweep (fixed content-per-frame, three synthetic profiles x
{350..3000f} x {single,par2,par3} x 3 reps, resolved worker counts and capture
modes verified per run): par3 beats single at EVERY size in every profile —
+17-21% at 700f rising to +28-34% at 3000f. That includes a
24-sub-composition profile built specifically to reproduce the 'workers
re-pay init' failure the original 2000 floor guarded against (92k tweens,
~2.5s pollSubCompositionTimelines per worker): workers initialize
concurrently, so duplicated init costs CPU, not wall-clock, and the comp
still parallelizes +19% at 700f. Below ~700f the win thins toward +10%
while paying three hardware-GPU browsers, so a floor remains. par2 loses to
par3 in every cell of every profile — the router's existing 3-worker pin is
confirmed, not changed. Harness:
plans/drawelement-fast-capture/de-crossover-bench.sh (docs repo).
Also adds on_battery / low_power_mode to render_complete and render_error.
The DE fleet is macOS laptops, and bench sweeps on an M4 Pro caught the SAME
render flipping between ~9.6 and ~17.2 ms/frame power-management regimes
with no existing telemetry signal to segment by — the router soak reading
this change needs that dimension to interpret perf on the machines users
actually render on. Sampled per event (volatile), pmset-based, darwin-only,
null-safe on failure.
Router stays default-off behind HF_DE_PARALLEL_ROUTER; this tunes what it
will do when the soak clears it to flip.

On a parallel-capture disk-verify or streaming-drain breach, the outer
catch cleared probeSession without first closing the still-owned session,
orphaning the probe Chrome process precisely when the retry was recovering
from GPU/memory pressure. Introduce closeOrphanedProbeForRetry so both
retry catches close the session (with defensive .catch that logs on close
error) before releasing the reference, and cover it with a focused unit
test asserting closure-before-clear and the swallow-and-warn behaviour.
Addresses Magi's REQUEST_CHANGES on #2749; also closes Rames' sibling
concern at the streaming-retry path (renderOrchestrator.ts:3093).
