Director — Gate

Run QA gates on each generated clip. Three gates in order — anatomy first (cheapest), then critic, then speech (if enabled). If any gate rejects, regenerate the clip via /director-clip-gen and re-run gates. Max 5 retries per scene. Abort if all fail.

Gate 1 — Anatomy

Extract 3 keyframes (start, middle, near-end) from the clip. Upload each via POST /v1/upload. Run spatial check on each:

POST /v1/watch
{
  "mediaUrl": "<frameUrl>",
  "prompt": "Spatial anatomy check of AI-generated video frame. Intended scene: '<scene.prompt>'. Trace every visible arm from fingertips to shoulder — does it connect to a torso? Check for: limb-to-torso connectivity, spatial consistency, disembodied body parts, anatomically possible limb count, correct joint positions. Score 6+ ONLY if all visible body parts are spatially connected and anatomically plausible."
}

Auto-reject if any frame scores below 8.

Gate 2 — Critic
