Brings the Rendobar skill in line with the new Compose engine and its pricing. Merge on launch day, with rendobar/rendobar#867 and rendobar/docs#113.

What changes

  • Compose bills $0.04 per minute of output video, per second, 15-second minimum, on every plan. Agents are told to keep test renders short rather than small.
  • What each plan renders: pay-as-you-go 1080p30, Pro 1440p, Studio 4K60. A video above the plan fails at submit with PLAN_LIMIT, and agents tell the user instead of retrying.
  • Animated graphics are defined the way the engine routes them: split text, blur/scale entrances, text exits and 3D turns. HTML is not an asset, and Lottie renders at the plan limit.
  • validate_compose / POST /compose/validate runs the plan check and quotes the price for free.
  • Agents are pointed at the searchable compose features page.
  • Plugin version 1.2.0 to 1.3.0 so installed copies update.

Checks

  • Every rate and limit matches packages/shared/src/constants/price-tiers.ts on rendobar/rendobar#867.
  • The features page URL resolves once the website deploy from #867 is live.

Billing tracked compute for every job type, which is no longer true for compose: it bills per second of output with a 20 second minimum, animated graphics at 3x and frames above 1080p as several 1080p frames. Agents now know a low resolution draft saves nothing and that validate_compose quotes the price first.
Pro now renders compose up to 1440p, and the new Studio plan adds 4K and
60 fps. Retention notes name Studio next to Pro.
Animated graphics are split text, blur and scale entrances, text exits
and 3D turns. HTML is not an asset and Lottie renders at the plan
limit. Point agents at the searchable compose features page.
Studio output retention is 90 days in the plan config, not 30. The
SKILL.md version matches the plugin manifest, the marketplace
description lists composition like plugin.json, and one over-long line
is wrapped like the rest of the list.
The compose plan note says Free instead of pay-as-you-go, tells agents
to read upgradeTo on a PLAN_LIMIT problem rather than the message, and
adds that animated text and 3D turns work only on top-level tracks and
in overlays.

The errors reference gains FEATURE_NOT_ENABLED and upgradeTo on
PLAN_LIMIT, and RUNNER_TIMEOUT no longer reads as a plan timeout.
