Summary

  • Add media_render (Media Toolkit: Render), a streamed node that applies caller-supplied edits to named media streams: cuts, synchronized audio, captions, supplied framing, mastering, optional assets, and multiple output formats.
  • Emit rendered media and reports on pipeline lanes; stock filestore nodes handle persistence. The node uses per-object temporary scratch files and does not call account storage APIs. Changes are limited to the new node, its tests, and the changelog.
  • Include request validation, bounded incoming bytes, portable FFmpeg filter escaping, profile defaults, silent-audio handling, and cumulative frame rounding across multipart renders. Include an example pipeline using existing stock providers.

Type

Feature — new catalog node.

Testing

  • Tests added or updated
  • Tested locally
  • ./builder test passes — the full monorepo suite was not run

Local validation at 942c0bc5:

  • 319 Render tests passed with pinned PyAV 17.1.0; 2 node contract tests passed.
  • 2 live pipeline tests passed (default and export) through stock persistence nodes.
  • Additional live renders: a 60-second, 58-part render produced exactly 60 seconds of audio and video; a two-cut footage edit produced exactly 4 seconds of both streams. Processing took approximately 4.61 seconds and 0.68 seconds respectively on the local test machine; these are bounded test cases, not production benchmarks.
  • Ruff lint/format, README validation, docs export check/build, diff checks, and the full contribution secret scan passed. Rendered frames were inspected and stream durations verified with ffprobe.
  • Local CodeRabbit review reported one minor finding about advisory size metadata. The fix and 18 additional cases are included; the complete Render suite and live tests were rerun afterward.

Tests used the available macOS release engine. A fresh native develop build and Linux/Windows CI have not been verified locally.

Checklist

  • Commit messages follow conventional commits
  • No secrets or credentials included
  • Node README and example pipeline included; wiki update not applicable
  • Additive node contribution; no existing public contracts changed

Closes #2391

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added the Media Render node to create video and audio deliverables from edit specifications.
    • Supports clips and programmes with trimming, synchronized audio, loudness mastering, captions, reframing, overlays, cards, chapters, thumbnails, and sidecar files.
    • Offers preview and export profiles, streamed inputs and outputs, progress updates, validation, and render reports.
  • Documentation
    • Added setup and configuration guidance, supported media lanes and profiles, request formats, limits, and an example pipeline.
  • Tests
    • Added coverage for rendering, synchronization, captions, validation, streaming, reports, and regression scenarios.

Add the media_render catalog node: renders caller-supplied edits from named
media streams with synchronized audio, burned-in captions, framing plans,
mastering and optional assets, emitting results on pipeline lanes.

Stream descriptors are read from the engine's metadata block (declared size
is advisory); the request is validated at pipeline start and required sinks
at object open; video cuts are frame-aligned to the mastered audio; framing
holes render full frame with a warning; keep intervals are ordered and may
not overlap; filtergraph quoting survives ffmpeg's two-level parse; silent
audio is reported instead of aborting mastering; windowed captions follow
the rendered slice; profile defaults are per profile (#2067 pattern); the
av pin matches the universal lock.

Programme parts share one cumulative frame clock; bounded last-frame padding
avoids end-of-file loss. Regression tests measure every encoded boundary and
final audio/video duration for ordinary and framed multipart renders.

Accept integral numeric advisory sizes and warn on invalid metadata while
enforcing the actual-byte ingress budget; cover coercion and limit handling.

Closes #2391

Inline comments:
In `@nodes/src/nodes/media_render/captions.py`:
- Around line 310-311: Sanitize the font override before assigning it in the
style-building logic: remove commas and carriage-return/newline characters,
normalize the result with trimming, and only set style['font'] when the cleaned
value remains non-empty. Update the font handling around the existing overrides
lookup while preserving the current behavior for non-string or blank values.

In `@nodes/src/nodes/media_render/IInstance.py`:
- Around line 810-816: Update _captions_file to accept an optional resolved
caption layout and use it when calling build_ass, falling back to
plan_lib.caption_layout_for only when no layout is provided. At the programme
render call site, pass the primary output’s resolved primary['caption_layout']
so explicit 4:5, 1:1, and other configured layouts are preserved.

In `@nodes/test/media_render/test_algorithms.py`:
- Around line 1730-1733: Register class cleanup immediately after creating the
temporary directory in setUpClass for CameraSourceSmokeTest and
RenderedSyncTest, using addClassCleanup with shutil.rmtree and ignore_errors
enabled; remove the corresponding tearDownClass cleanup methods while preserving
existing fixture setup behavior.

In `@nodes/test/media_render/test_contract_fixes.py`:
- Around line 335-339: Update the portability test around instance.closing() so
the patched Path behavior is used when constructing the workspace and emitted
paths, rather than patching Path only after those objects already exist. Ensure
both files and artifacts assertions receive Windows-flavored path objects, using
the relevant workspace/path setup symbols without changing the production
behavior.

In `@nodes/test/media_render/test_render_fixes.py`:
- Around line 117-118: Update the _ffmpeg helper to pass a 300-second timeout to
subprocess.run, preserving the existing command arguments and output-capture
behavior so stalled ffmpeg processes raise subprocess.TimeoutExpired before the
outer test timeout.

In `@nodes/test/media_render/test_sync.py`:
- Around line 309-315: Update the RenderedSyncTest class gate to also require
PyAV availability, adding or reusing a helper that safely imports av and returns
false on ImportError. Combine this check with _ffmpeg_available() in the skip
condition while preserving the existing MEDIA_TOOLKIT_SKIP_FFMPEG skip behavior.

Register class cleanup immediately after creating each temporary directory.

If setUpClass fails, unittest does not call tearDownClass. CameraSourceSmokeTest can raise SkipTest after _camera_file fails, and RenderedSyncTest can raise CalledProcessError when the fixture build fails. Both paths leave temporary directories and partial media files behind. Repeated CI retries can accumulate them.

Skip RenderedSyncTest when PyAV is unavailable.

In `@nodes/test/media_render/test_sync.py` around lines 309 - 315, Update the
RenderedSyncTest class gate to also require PyAV availability, adding or reusing
a helper that safely imports av and returns false on ImportError. Combine this
check with _ffmpeg_available() in the skip condition while preserving the
existing MEDIA_TOOLKIT_SKIP_FFMPEG skip behavior.

Substantial, carefully-built node — the same qualities as media_inspect: no shell=True anywhere, path traversal guarded twice (store_path_problem plus the is_relative_to re-check), bounded ingress, and the new _support/paths.py adds real destination validation on top. 319 tests is serious coverage.

Blocking on CI, which is red on this PR's own tests.


1. Blocking — Windows CI fails on two of this PR's new tests

FAILED test/media_render/test_review_regressions.py::test_video_without_audio_gets_a_synchronized_silent_track[True-programme]
FAILED test/media_render/test_review_regressions.py::test_video_without_audio_gets_a_synchronized_silent_track[False-programme]
2 failed, 5513 passed, 241 skipped

Ubuntu 22.04 and macOS ARM64 are green. Both clip parametrizations pass on Windows; only programme fails, in both the audio_only=True and False variants.

The failing line is 636, not the render itself:

assert info['has_audio'] and info['has_video'] is not audio_only   # 634 — passes
assert abs(info['duration_ms'] - 1100) <= 34                        # 635 — passes
assert any('silent' in warning.lower() for warning in ...['warnings'])  # 636 — fails

So the synchronized silent track is produced correctly and has the right duration; only the warning is missing from the report.

A hypothesis, not a diagnosis — there is no FFmpeg on this machine so I could not reproduce it. The warning is gated on integrated_lufs is None (IInstance._note_silence), which requires _finite_or_none to see loudnorm report -inf, i.e. it requires the measured audio to be exactly digital silence. The programme path joins encoded parts rather than measuring the anullsrc material directly, and an encoder round-trip of silence can land on a finite floor (around -70 LUFS) instead of -inf depending on the FFmpeg build — and the Windows runner's build differs from macOS/Linux. That the split is exactly programme-vs-clip, and exactly this assertion, fits.

If that is what is happening, the fragile part is the design rather than the test: loudness_measurable() treating "silent" as "non-finite" makes the behaviour depend on the FFmpeg build. A threshold — integrated LUFS below roughly -60 counts as silent — would be portable across builds. Worth confirming on a Windows runner before picking the fix.

This is squarely the surface your own note flagged: "A fresh native develop build and Linux/Windows CI have not been verified locally."

2. Should fix — a fix that landed yesterday is already missing from this copy

media_inspect merged to develop at 2026-09-23T00:52, and its _support/config.py carries the non-finite guard that commit ba96715c added and test_profile_float_values_stay_finite pins:

# develop: media_inspect/_support/config.py
parsed = float(value)
if math.isfinite(parsed):
    config[key] = parsed
# this PR: media_render/_support/config.py
config[key] = float(value)

It is latent today — media_render's DEFAULTS has no float entries, so that branch is unreachable — but it goes live the moment someone adds one, which is precisely how it appeared in the sibling.

3. The duplication is the reason #2 happened

Against the now-merged media_inspect:

file media_inspect media_render differing lines
_support/__init__.py 25 25 0
_support/media.py 485 569 96
_support/config.py 81 107 36
_support/workspace.py 65 105 40

.claude/rules/architecture.md says: "Extract when there is a second consumer or a clear separation boundary." This is the second consumer, and the repo already has both mechanisms for it — nodes/src/nodes/core/gcp_auth.py is shared by db_firestore and tool_gcs, and embedding_video imports nodes.embedding_image.embedding directly across node directories.

Item 2 is the concrete cost, one day after the first copy merged, not a hypothetical. Extracting the shared surface into nodes/core/ is much cheaper now than after a second copy is on develop. If there is a deployment reason each node directory must stay self-contained, say so and I will drop this — but then the two copies need a deliberate sync story.

4. Minor — non-finite spec value reaches an FFmpeg filter

plan.py:456:

'loudness_lufs': float(audio.get('loudness_lufs') or LOUDNESS_TARGET_LUFS),

No finite check, so {"audio": {"loudness_lufs": "nan"}} produces loudnorm=I=nan:TP=…. This is the same pattern I confirmed empirically on #2392 (silencedetect=noise=nandB) — float() cannot emit a , or : so it is not injection, and it fails loudly, and the spec is operator-authored. Minor on its own; flagging it because this is now the third occurrence across the two nodes, which suggests a small shared finite_float(value, default) helper would retire the whole class. report.py already has a finite() for the output side.


Happy to re-review once Windows is green. Items 2 and 4 are quick; item 3 is the one worth a decision now rather than later.
