Preview jobs looked stuck after aerender finished: the worker was silently
uploading the review MP4s and the ProRes MOV over a slow uplink, and a
restart mid-upload threw the preview away.
- Worker 1.7.1 replaces the job's log tail with live upload status and logs
each upload's size, duration and speed.
- The ProRes MOV now uploads after finalize via a persistent queue
(HighResUploader, resumes after restart, 5 attempts) and attaches through
the new E13b endpoint POST /api/ext/render/jobs/{id}/attach-highres.
A MOV from a superseded preview is discarded.
Deploy the server before the 1.7.1 worker.

Worker 1.7.0 (preview.highQuality, default on) now, after the AE render:
- encodes a High quality MP4 from the delivery MOV (full-res H.264 High,
CRF 14 capped at 100 Mbps) -> Version.hqFileUrl
- uploads the MOV itself -> Version.highResKey/Filename/Size
Both best-effort (the preview never fails over them), with a lease
keep-alive during the long encode/uploads; the export timeline records
what was attached.
Player: HQ switch when a High quality source exists; keeps frame, play
state, speed and zoom, remembered per browser, falls back to Standard if
the file won't load. ProRes itself stays download-only (browser support).
Downloads: the client portal's High Res button serves the version's
ProRes (client-code filename), falling back to the shot's manual file;
staff get a ProRes button on the review page.
Housekeeping (lib/render-pipeline/high-res.ts): HQ MP4 + ProRes are kept
while a version is latest, client-shared, approved or younger than
preview.highResRetentionDays (14); otherwise deleted from storage. Runs
per task after finalize and hourly from the reaper; deleting a version or
a reslate removes its files. The Standard MP4 is never touched.
Also: ProRes/Handles top-bar buttons go icon-only below lg so they don't
overlap the version selector.
