v1.0.0-rc.9

Fixes

• a fitted platform reshapes the file it was handed (453b273) (by yohimik, Claude Fable 5)
  rc.8's anthem story was the square anthem.mp4 published with the story
  frame's flags. Publish-only mode passed the file through as it arrived,
  so the flags did nothing and Instagram padded the square to 9:16 on its
  own servers, in black rather than in the card's colour.

  Passing a file through is right for a format preference and wrong for a
  fit. A fit says what shape the platform is to receive; ignoring it hands
  the decision to the platform, which crops or pads without saying where
  the cut fell. So a platform that set one now gets the file reshaped: an
  image is resampled, a clip is re-encoded through the same filter a
  rendered clip is fitted with. The audio stream is copied rather than
  encoded again, because on this clip the soundtrack is the point.

  Those modes had one shared variant, on the grounds that overlays and
  render sizes are instructions to a renderer that is not running. A fit is
  not one of those, so they now group by frame alone: platforms that asked
  for nothing still share the file as it arrived, and two that asked for
  the same frame share one re-encode.

  The same gap in the frames-input path is closed with it, since the
  machinery was already there and unused: an encoded frames run and its
  poster are fitted like a rendered clip, so --render-variant previews the
  shape the platform will get.

• number every page of a coverless card (8c9269d) (by yohimik, Claude Fable 5)
  The first-page rule that hides the small badge and the page counter is
  about page one being the cover, not about page one. The updates document
  has no cover, so its first page is the first changelog page, and the rule
  stripped its margin: rc.8's two-page story pair was numbered on the
  second page and nowhere else, and the first story never said which
  release it was.

  It is now emitted only when there is a cover. A coverless document also
  needs a source for the version string, since the only thing that sets it
  is the big badge the cover carries, so one is drawn with no height and no
  type: the small badge would otherwise be blank on every page rather than
  on the first.

  Both halves have a test. The rendered pages are read back and the two
  margin boxes are counted for ink, so a coverless page one has a badge and
  a counter, and a cover page one still has neither.

• instagram wants media_type on a video carousel child (e6a7bad) (by yohimik, Claude Fable 5)
  rc.8's feed post failed with 400 IGApiException code 100, "The parameter
  image_url is required" (fbtrace A0MpoozUBsHxq-KQTcd9gcG). Without a
  media_type the API presumes the child is an image and asks for the
  parameter an image child would have.

  The reference lists CAROUSEL, REELS and STORIES for that parameter and
  omits VIDEO entirely, which is what the previous change read as an
  instruction to leave it out. The endpoint disagrees, and the endpoint is
  what posts. Behaviour wins; the docs now say so and cite the trace.

  Both Instagram fakes refuse a video child that omits it, answering with
  the message Meta answered with. Removing the parameter now fails the
  suite instead of passing it and failing a release.
