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

/**
* Smoke test for the WebM (VP9) distributed concat-copy path.
*
* PR 8.1 gating experiment — answers the question:
* "Does `buildEncoderArgs(..., { codec: 'vp9', lockGopForChunkConcat: true, gopSize: N })`
* produce VP9 chunk files that `ffmpeg -f concat -c copy` can stitch
* into a single playable WebM?"
*
* YES → PR 8.2 ships Path A: drop webm from FORMAT_NOT_SUPPORTED_IN_DISTRIBUTED
* and wire lockGopForChunkConcat=true through the distributed plan().
*
* NO → PR 8.2 ships Path B: re-encode the concat'd chunks in `assemble()`
* (slower; loses encode parallelism but is reliably correct).
*
* Why direct ffmpeg invocation (instead of plan/renderChunk/assemble): the
* full distributed pipeline currently REFUSES webm at plan time, so we can't
* exercise it end-to-end yet. This smoke test bypasses the producer pipeline
* and only validates the ffmpeg-level contract — the encoder args we'll wire
* into the pipeline in 8.2.
*
* The test generates 60 frames (2s @ 30fps) of an animated test pattern
* (`testsrc2` from ffmpeg's lavfi), splits them into 4 chunks of 15 frames
* each via direct `ffmpeg` invocations using the args from
* `buildEncoderArgs(..., { lockGopForChunkConcat: true, gopSize: 15 })`,
* concat-copies them, and runs three independent verifications:
*
* 1. `ffprobe -show_streams` — output is a valid WebM with one VP9 stream
* 2. `ffmpeg -i ... -f null -` — output decodes cleanly (no seam errors)
* 3. `ffprobe -count_frames` — frame count equals sum of chunk frames
*
* If concat-copy fails in any way the test reports the precise failure
* fingerprint in the error message so PR 8.2 has the data it needs to pick
* Path A vs Path B.
