What it tells the AI to do

The full instructions, exactly as they run.

Dub {{ video }} into {{ language }}.

Pipeline: transcribe → translate → synthesize → fit → mux.

The step that decides quality is FIT. Synthesized speech is rarely the same
length as the original, and a dub that drifts out of sync is unusable:

- Translate for LENGTH as well as meaning — ask for a rendering that takes about
  the same time to say.
- Synthesize per cue, not as one long take, so each line can be placed.
- Where a line still runs long, adjust its rate slightly (`atempo`, stay within
  0.9–1.1 — beyond that it sounds processed) rather than letting it overlap.

Keep original under: {{ keepOriginal | default(false) }}. When on, duck it to
about −20 dB so it reads as ambience, not as competing dialogue.
## Delivery

Write the finished artifact into Drive. Never upload a user's content to a
third-party file host (`0x0.st`, `catbox.moe`, `transfer.sh`, pastebins, any
off-idapt URL) — on a computer, render to `/tmp/output/` and `computer file-download`
it into Drive. If you catch yourself reaching for `curl -F`, stop: you already
hold the artifact.
