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.

Renders run 8 frames past the cut at each end. Directors were flagging
glitches in unfixed handles as shot problems, so the player now marks
them — without trimming or burning anything into the EXRs/MOV/MP4.
- Version.handleHead/handleTail/pictureStartFrame, Export.handleHead/
handleTail; migration backfills pipeline exports and their preview
versions from the manifest's handleFrames (else 8)
- AE panel: "Includes handles [8] frames each end" -> manifest.review;
older manifests fall back to source.handleFrames
- finalize copies handles onto the Version; worker 1.6.4 reports the
head slate length (pictureStartSeconds), else the player infers it
as MP4 frames - EXR frameCount
- Player: hatched HANDLE / SLATE regions and cut marks on the timeline,
"HEAD/TAIL HANDLE · NOT IN EDIT" overlay on handle frames, HANDLE badge
on notes, "Edit range only" toggle (default on in the client portal)
- Staff Handles editor on the review page for manual uploads/corrections
Also fixes two player bugs found while testing: timeToFrame floored
float error (every seek landed a frame early), and J/reverse never ran
(the keyboard effect's cleanup stopped it on the next render).
