feat(know-thy-father): Phase 2 Multimodal Analysis Pipeline (#584)
Implement the multimodal analysis pipeline that processes the 818-entry
media manifest from Phase 1 to extract Meaning Kernels.

Pipeline (twitter-archive/multimodal_pipeline.py):
- Images/GIFs: Visual Description → Meme Logic → Meaning Kernels
- Videos: Keyframe Extraction (ffmpeg) → Per-Frame Description →
  Sequence Analysis → Meaning Kernels
- All inference local via Gemma 4 (Ollama). Zero cloud credits.

Meaning Kernels extracted in three categories:
- SOVEREIGNTY: Bitcoin, decentralization, freedom, autonomy
- SERVICE: Building for others, caring, community, fatherhood
- THE SOUL: Identity, purpose, faith, what makes something alive

Features:
- Checkpoint/resume support (analysis_checkpoint.json)
- Per-item analysis saved to media/analysis/{tweet_id}.json
- Append-only meaning_kernels.jsonl for Phase 3 synthesis
- --synthesize flag generates categorized summary
- --type filter for photo/animated_gif/video
- Graceful error handling with error logs

Know Thy Father — Phase 2: Multimodal Analysis Pipeline
Processes the media manifest from Phase 1 to extract Meaning Kernels:
- Images/GIFs: Visual description + Meme Logic Analysis
- Videos: Frame extraction + Audio transcription + Visual Sequence Analysis
Designed for local inference via Gemma 4 (Ollama/llama.cpp). Zero cloud credits.
Usage:
python3 multimodal_pipeline.py --manifest media/manifest.jsonl --limit 10
python3 multimodal_pipeline.py --manifest media/manifest.jsonl --resume
python3 multimodal_pipeline.py --manifest media/manifest.jsonl --type photo
python3 multimodal_pipeline.py --synthesize # Generate meaning kernel summary
