+//   - Standard FFprobe analysis (format, streams, metadata)
+//   - Enhanced QC analysis (20+ professional categories)
+//   - Content-based analysis using FFmpeg filters
+//   - LLM-powered intelligent analysis and reporting
+//   - Broadcast-standard compliance checking
+//
+// The service supports configurable timeouts, output limits, and analysis modes
+// for both development and production environments.
