Media Workflows In Explorer

Explorer needs practical media workflows for upload, preview, metadata editing, and generated output, but media handling becomes hard to maintain if every document plugin owns its own validation, preview, and conversion logic.

Media Workflow Boundary

multimedia concentrates those workflows in one family of user interface (UI) plugins and runtime helpers. The same boundary covers attachment management for audio, video, images, and generic files, while also exposing the image-to-video pipeline used for compiled media output.

Runtime Behavior

The main surface lives in multimedia/IDE-plugins/, where modal and embedded components handle document, chapter, and paragraph contexts. In parallel, the ffmpegImageToVideo skill drives image-to-video generation. This keeps user interface integration close to Explorer while media-specific processing remains inside the agent runtime.

Critical startup dependency: on agent startup, /code/scripts/install.sh is executed, and git plus ffmpeg are installed in containers or validated on the host sandbox to support video, audio, and image workflows.
