Media root moved (13 Aug 2026). Working media lives in <video library>, not in video-studio. Paths below that read public/… or input/… now mean <video library> for project work, or <video library> for reusable assets. video-studio/public/ is a render staging area only — video-render copies what a render needs into public/__stage/<run-id>/ and clears that run folder afterwards. Project work goes through video-production.

$PROJ = <video library>, scaffolded by video-production new. public/fonts and public/broll stay in video-studio: render dependencies, not media.
