Converts script.md into a beat-by-beat visual storyboard. Each scene decomposes into shots with timing, camera angles, visual and audio descriptions, and asset requirements. Pipeline pauses after this stage — user records footage before the edit flow begins. Output is storyboard.json, consumed by classify-and-plan-edit.
