feat: FFmpeg video composition pipeline — shared infra (#643)

Shared video pipeline for Video Forge (#53) and LPM 1.0 (#641).

tools/video_pipeline.py:
- FFmpegPipeline class wrapping ffmpeg CLI
- Image sequence -> video with crossfade transitions
- Ken Burns pan/zoom effect on still images
- Audio-video muxing with beat alignment
- H.264/WebM encoding with faststart for web
- HLS streaming output
- Full compose() pipeline combining all components

tests/test_video_pipeline.py: 14 tests

Closes #643

-# Approval Tier System
-
-Graduated safety based on risk level. Routes confirmations through the appropriate channel.
-
-## Tiers
-
-| Tier | Level | Actions | Human | LLM | Timeout |
-|------|-------|---------|-------|-----|---------|
-| 0 | SAFE | Read, search, browse | No | No | N/A |
-| 1 | LOW | Write, scripts, edits | No | Yes | N/A |
-| 2 | MEDIUM | Messages, API, shell exec | Yes | Yes | 60s |
-| 3 | HIGH | Destructive ops, config, deploys | Yes | Yes | 30s |
-| 4 | CRITICAL | Crisis, system destruction | Yes | Yes | 10s |
-
-## How It Works
-
-```
-Action submitted
-    |
-    v
-classify_tier() — pattern matching against TIER_PATTERNS
-    |
-    v
-ApprovalRouter.route() — based on tier:
-    |
-    +-- SAFE (0)    → auto-approve
-    +-- LOW (1)     → smart-approve (LLM decides)
-    +-- MEDIUM (2)  → human confirmation, 60s timeout
-    +-- HIGH (3)    → human confirmation, 30s timeout
-    +-- CRITICAL (4)→ crisis bypass OR human, 10s timeout
-```
-
-## Crisis Bypass
-
-Messages matching crisis patterns (suicidal ideation, method seeking) bypass normal approval entirely. They return crisis intervention resources:
-- 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (call or text 988)
-- Crisis Text Line (text HOME to 741741)
-- Emergency: 911
-
-## Timeout Handling
-
-When a human confirmation times out:
-- MEDIUM (60s): Auto-escalate to HIGH
-- HIGH (30s): Auto-escalate to CRITICAL
-- CRITICAL (10s): Deny by default
-
-## Usage
-
-```python
-from tools.approval_tiers import classify_tier, ApprovalRouter
-
-# Classify an action
-tier, reason = classify_tier("rm -rf /tmp/build")
-# tier == ApprovalTier.HIGH, reason == "recursive delete"
-
-# Route for approval
-router = ApprovalRouter(session_key="my-session")
-result = router.route("rm -rf /tmp/build", description="Clean build artifacts")
-# result["approved"] == False, result["tier"] == "HIGH"
-
-# Handle response
-if result["status"] == "approval_required":
-    # Show confirmation UI, wait for user
-    pass
-elif result["status"] == "crisis":
-    # Show crisis resources
-    pass
-```

+"""FFmpeg Video Composition Pipeline — Shared Infrastructure (Issue #643).
+
+Used by both Video Forge (playground #53) and LPM 1.0 (#641).
+
+Provides:
+- Image sequence → video with crossfade transitions
+- Audio-video sync with beat alignment
+- Ken Burns effect (slow pan/zoom on stills)
+- H.264/WebM encoding optimized for web
+- Streaming output support
+
+Dependencies: ffmpeg (system binary), optional ffmpeg-python bindings.
