How should an agent decide whether a given local machine can run a particular shot with an open video model, given what the READMEs state and do not state?

Proposal (synthesis): decide in four gates. (1) Geometry: choose model and variant whose frame form, size set and fps can express the shot (candidate 04). (2) Stated floor: compare the machine GPU memory with the README figure whose settings match the shot (candidates 01-03, 05); if the shot setting is not among the stated settings, mark memory unknown. (3) Weights and disk: add the sizes of the files the pipeline loads (HF listing: e.g. Wan2.2 TI2V-5B about 20.0 GB transformer + 11.36 GB T5 + 2.82 GB VAE; HunyuanVideo-1.5 transformers about 33.3 GB each; Mochi dit 40.11 GB). (4) Time: only the READMEs name time on named GPUs for a few settings; otherwise time is unknown. Where a gate returns unknown, run a bounded preflight (proposed, not run) rather than guess. No inspected README gives a rule to extrapolate memory across resolution or length.
