Route: embedded-captions

• Input: Existing talking-head footage to caption. It is an actual media file, not a URL or creative brief.
• Output: The same footage, untouched, with a caption layer and selected caption identity. The subject may occlude embedded captions. Any length.
• Triggers: "add captions", "add subtitles", "captions behind the subject", "cinematic captions for my clip".

Interview

• Must-haves: which clip (the input file).
• Deferred (announce): the caption identity pick — its Step 0 probes the clip first, then shortlists 2–3 identities from the catalog and recommends one. Say that's coming.
• Run-shape: neither — the footage is untouched; there is no storyboard to review.
