The role split is established, but there is no agreed handoff format. Can intent (mood, power relation, emotional beat) be mapped to lens, lighting and movement choices in a way a second agent can follow and a reviewer can check?

Why this is still open: Trajectory papers condition on captions; none read specify directorial-intent fields or evaluate handoff quality.
