ZacharyZhang-NY e74dafcd36 Silence render-disposed spam, unbreak bundled skills, drop board wake
Three independently ugly bugs that all fed the same log flood:

* Electron's `WebFrameMain.send` writes every "Render frame was disposed"
  to stderr via `console.error`. When the worker fans a second
  agent-event past a reloading renderer, we produced thousands of
  identical lines and stalled the main loop on stderr I/O. Added a
  `mainFrame.detached` guard so the send is short-circuited before
  Electron's own catch block fires, and installed a targeted filter in
  `suppress-warnings.ts` (now actually imported from the entry point)
  so the specific `console.error("Error sending from webFrameMain:"…)`
  noise never reaches the terminal. Any other payload still surfaces.

* `dispatchAgentMessage` accepted the human-reader sentinel as a wake
  target when an agent replied to `__board__` — `wakeAgentIfPossible`
  then called `db.getAgent("__board__")`, threw, and the dispatcher
  kept repeating on every send. Strip `HUMAN_SENDER_ID` at
  `resolveMessageWakeTargets`, and keep a defense-in-depth guard in the
  heartbeat so a stray caller (future automation fan-out) cannot
  reintroduce the crash.

* Pi's skills loader rejects any SKILL.md whose frontmatter `name`
  diverges from its parent directory. The four bundled `my-writing-style`
  copies declared `name: writing-style-skill`, so every install emitted
  a warning and dropped the skill. They also lived as orphan gitlinks
  (mode 160000 without .gitmodules), and the global `*.md` gitignore
  hid every other SKILL.md from version control. Fixed the frontmatter
  to match the dir, converted the dangling submodules to plain trees,
  and allowlisted `builtin-skills/**/*.md` so a fresh clone carries the
  catalogue instead of silently losing it.

Getting video dimensions with Mediabunny

Mediabunny can extract the width and height of a video file. It works in browser, Node.js, and Bun environments.

Getting video dimensions

import { Input, ALL_FORMATS, UrlSource } from "mediabunny";

export const getVideoDimensions = async (src: string) => {
  const input = new Input({
    formats: ALL_FORMATS,
    source: new UrlSource(src, {
      getRetryDelay: () => null,
    }),
  });

  const videoTrack = await input.getPrimaryVideoTrack();
  if (!videoTrack) {
    throw new Error("No video track found");
  }

  return {
    width: videoTrack.displayWidth,
    height: videoTrack.displayHeight,
  };
};

Usage

const dimensions = await getVideoDimensions("https://remotion.media/video.mp4");
console.log(dimensions.width); // e.g. 1920
console.log(dimensions.height); // e.g. 1080

Using with local files

For local files, use FileSource instead of UrlSource:

import { Input, ALL_FORMATS, FileSource } from "mediabunny";

const input = new Input({
  formats: ALL_FORMATS,
  source: new FileSource(file), // File object from input or drag-drop
});

const videoTrack = await input.getPrimaryVideoTrack();
const width = videoTrack.displayWidth;
const height = videoTrack.displayHeight;

Using with staticFile in Remotion

import { staticFile } from "remotion";

const dimensions = await getVideoDimensions(staticFile("video.mp4"));
