James Russo 07de7e61ed feat(engine): closed-GOP VP9 encoder args + concat-copy smoke test (#950)
## Description

PR 1 of 4 in the WebM (VP9) distributed-rendering series. A gating
experiment that proves closed-GOP libvpx-vp9 chunks survive
`ffmpeg -f concat -c copy` losslessly, so the rest of the stack can
ship Path A (concat-copy) rather than the slower
re-encode-in-assemble fallback.

Two changes:

1. **Closed-GOP VP9 encoder args.** `buildEncoderArgs` now lays
   `-g <chunkSize>`, `-keyint_min <chunkSize>`, `-auto-alt-ref 0`, and
   `-cpu-used 2` on libvpx-vp9 when `lockGopForChunkConcat=true`.
   Mirrors the existing libx264/libx265 branches. The alt-ref disable
   is load-bearing — libvpx-vp9's default non-displayable alt-ref
   frames can reach across chunk seams and break concat-copy.
   `-cpu-used 2` pins the speed/quality tradeoff so chunks encoded on
   workers with different libvpx-vp9 defaults produce visually
   consistent output across seams. Default (`lockGopForChunkConcat`
   unset) preserves the existing in-process VP9 path unchanged.

2. **Concat-copy smoke test** at
   `packages/producer/tests/distributed/_smoke/webm-concat-copy.test.ts`.
   Generates 60 PNGs via lavfi `testsrc2`, encodes them as 4 VP9 chunks
   of 15 frames using `buildEncoderArgs` with
   `lockGopForChunkConcat=true`, concat-copies via `ffmpeg -f concat -c
   copy`, then runs three independent verifications:
   `ffprobe -show_streams`, `ffmpeg -f null -` decode test, and
   `ffprobe -count_frames`. Each verification surfaces its failure
   fingerprint in the error message.

Smoke test passes 6/6 locally → Path A works; the rest of the stack
takes it.

Also exports `buildEncoderArgs` from `@hyperframes/engine` so
adapters / tests can construct args without re-implementing the
contract.

## Testing

- [x] `bunx vitest run --root packages/engine src/services/chunkEncoder.test.ts` — 62/62 pass (new VP9 closed-GOP tests included)
- [x] `bun test packages/producer/tests/distributed/_smoke/webm-concat-copy.test.ts` — passes
- [x] `bunx oxlint` + `bunx oxfmt --check` on all changed files — clean
- [x] `bunx tsc --noEmit -p packages/engine/tsconfig.json` — clean
