generate-edit-decision-list

Purpose

This is the editorial brain of the creator-grammar pipeline. It transforms:

• a chosen archetype (from references/archetypes.json)
• a script or transcript with word-timestamps
• an optional storyboard scene table or shot-list JSON
• an optional beat-grid JSON

into a concrete, validated edl.json — the Edit Decision List defined in references/edl-schema.md. The EDL encodes every cut point, role, transition, caption cue, audio beat, and pacing-curve metric for the video. Downstream steps (render-edl, add-zoom-cuts, synthesize-sfx-ffmpeg, add-captions-burn) consume it without further planning decisions.
