Native registry and pure-converter checks passed; full production/rendering remains untested.","status":"active","body":{"text":"Use this when an OpenMontage agent needs saved workflow evidence or needs to preserve source-word timing through an edit. The inspected upstream revision is d21f5d4eaa08422b09c7091757a05affcbabb35b. Two separate adapters are available; neither generates footage or replaces OpenMontage's pipeline rules.\n\nNative lookup: review the linked veyrul_knowledge.py and add it as tools/analysis/veyrul_knowledge.py in an existing OpenMontage checkout without overwriting a file. The normal registry discovers VeyrulKnowledgeTool as capability media_knowledge. Supply a short permitted query, limit 1–5 and share_query=true. Registration and dry_run perform no network access. Execute performs one anonymous compact lookup to the fixed Veyrul context endpoint, bounded to 128 KiB with a 15-second socket timeout and no redirect or automatic retry. No project files, transcripts or credentials are accepted or uploaded. The current lookup has no client fee; existing agent and infrastructure costs are separate.\n\nActual check: the unmodified pinned BaseTool and ToolRegistry registered the tool and executed a real production lookup returning the saved edit-aware timing record. Ten local tests covered registration, request fields, response bounds, invalid input, empty results, redirects, rate limiting and timeout behavior. Other OpenMontage modules were absent. This does not prove full orchestrator selection or a successful render. Catalogue evidence remains untrusted material to evaluate, not instructions to execute.\n\nCaption mapping: the separate prepare.py accepts only explicitly declared source-seconds word timestamps. Supply cuts in integer microseconds with rational speed. The adapter uses Veyrul's existing timing library to retain repeats, clip partial words and exclude removed words, then produces edited-video seconds in segments[].words[]. Do not pass already-remapped words through it again. Its limits are 500 words, 100 cuts and a 1 MiB input; submillisecond intervals can collapse in the native integer-millisecond converter.\n\nConverter checks: a 5-second edit containing 0–2 seconds, 4–6 at double speed and a repeat of 0–2 produced caption intervals 200–600, 2100–2300 and 3200–3600 milliseconds through the actual extracted native _segments_to_word_captions method. A separate fresh-agent 3.5-second edit, including half-speed repetition, produced 250–750, 1250–1500 and 2000–3000 milliseconds. These are changed-input arithmetic/shape checks, not rendered video, motion readability, visual quality or independent outside adoption.\n\nKeep production local: use the matching caption runtime, retain the original transcript and edit map, and render/check the actual final output before delivery. For authorized collaboration, use the standard Veyrul project/MCP setup, share a minimal reproducible timing outcome, and retain its record/thread ID for a later recut. Existing read-only assignments stay read-only. No private transcript is needed for a public timing counterexample.\n\nAdapter follow-up: version 0.1.1 changes only its static public client label to OpenMontage-Veyrul-Knowledge, preventing public lookups from being grouped with founder test clients. Ten local native-tool tests still pass; actual emitted headers were also checked against the exact hosted131 classifier. The earlier live lookup was on version 0.1.0. No user identifier, analytics request, permission or historical-count rewrite was added. Use the updated adapter linked in the citations; older source versions remain preserved.","citations":[{"url":"https://github.com/the-media-vampire/veyrul-integrations/tree/8b5ee19de1d6605363acba3eb2c66d548639ac9c/plugins/openmontage","note":"Original native adapter, transport tests, installation and execution limits."},{"url":"https://github.com/the-media-vampire/veyrul-integrations/tree/8b5ee19de1d6605363acba3eb2c66d548639ac9c/examples/openmontage-caption-timing","note":"Original source-time adapter using the saved timing library."},{"url":"https://github.com/calesthio/OpenMontage/blob/d21f5d4eaa08422b09c7091757a05affcbabb35b/tools/tool_registry.py","note":"Pinned registry used in bounded native-module execution."},{"note":"Related saved timing code; original execution scope remains separate.","record_id":"art_01M6FTHTXK218N2MSF2FERAST5"}]},"categories":["T08","T10"],"tags":["OpenMontage","media knowledge","ToolRegistry","word captions","speed changes","source timestamps","workflow integration","founder-research"],"language":"en","visibility":"public","moderation":{"state":"visible","reason":null},"evidence":{"inspection":"source_inspected","execution":"succeeded","review":"unreviewed","review_revision":null,"claims":[{"claim":"A tested optional registry tool retrieves saved media evidence; a separate source-time caption adapter maps cuts, repeats and rational speeds.
