Two independent features landing together:
Generated shot thumbnails — a shot can now carry a thumbnail promoted
from a render export (Shot.generatedThumbnailUrl/generatedThumbnailFrom)
alongside the existing brief-supplied thumbnailUrl, which always takes
display precedence (lib/shot-thumbnail.ts) so a promoted frame can only
ever fill a gap, never overwrite the brief. Shows with
pipelineConfig.autoShotThumbnail promote automatically on every
finished export (lib/render-pipeline/preview.ts); promoteExportThumbnail/
clearGeneratedThumbnail (actions/shots.ts) are the manual equivalent for
everyone else. Worker-side seek logic for picking the promoted frame is
covered by RenderWorker/VFXReviewWorker.Tests/ThumbnailSeekTests.cs.
Bulk shot delete — the shot-status page's selection bar gets a "Bulk
Actions" dropdown (alongside the existing Change Due Date) with Delete
Shots. bulkDeleteShots() (actions/shots.ts) deletes one at a time rather
than in a single statement: exports_shotId_fkey is ON DELETE RESTRICT
by design, so a shot with renders or deliveries on record is protected
and gets skipped and reported by name rather than aborting the whole
selection or being silently destroyed along with its history.

Production fallout after enabling it: the trimmed EXR footage started
after the head handle as intended, but the overlay's burn-in timecode
(hardcoded to start at frame 1001) did not shift with it, so the
delivered burn-in no longer matched the footage. The picture-lock
reference render also never worked correctly in practice. Reverts the
AE panel checkbox, the preview-build script's trim/reference logic, and
the server/worker plumbing around it back to their pre-feature state
(82dfaee) — untrimmed previews, no picture-lock reference, overlay
timecode correct again.
The noPictureLock/piclockRefKey schema columns and their migration are
deliberately left in place: they're already applied in production, and
dropping an applied migration's file risks the next `prisma migrate
deploy`. They sit unused and harmless until this is revisited.

Previews used to ship the full padded (handle-included) render to
clients, with an artist manually pulling picture lock and hand-trimming
the comp to match. The automated preview stage now trims the client
comp to the picture-lock edit itself (a fixed handle count off each
end, per the studio's existing convention) and separately builds an
ungraded, full-duration picture-lock reference MP4 as a diagnostic
sidecar to check back against. A new "No Picture Lock" panel checkbox
is the single override for shots where picture lock is missing or
wrong, falling back to today's untrimmed behavior.

Initialise Workspace built UNG_101..UNG_117 from a hardcoded range and
imported one hardcoded AEP, and fourteen findComp calls named UNG's comps
literally. None of it worked for a second show.
Comp names now follow a convention derived from the show id —
{showId}_VFX_OVERLAY, {showId}_EXPORT_TEMPLATE, _SHOW LUT — which
reproduces UNG's existing names exactly, so nothing changes for the show
it was written for. A project whose template departs from the pattern can
override any of the three.
Paths cannot be derived: UNG's show id is UNG while its folder is
UNGO_VFX. Those live on Project.pipelineConfig and are edited under
Project → Settings → Pipeline. They are resolved server-side and handed
to the panel with the project list, and read by buildPreviewManifest for
the headless build, so the panel and the farm cannot disagree about which
template — or which show LUT — a shot was built with. That mattered more
than the folder names: a preview rendered through another show's LUT is
quietly the wrong colour rather than obviously broken.
Episode folders come from the project's episode list, falling back to the
folders under its footage root for a show whose episodes are not entered
yet.
Panel 2.5.0. Adds migration 20260814010000_project_pipeline_config.
