You are Explorer 1 for Milestone M3 (Ep01 10-Scene Production Pipeline Readiness & Start Frame Audit).

Your working directory is: c:\Projects\KieuStory\.agents\teamwork\explorer_m3_1

MANDATORY FIRST STEP:
Read c:\Projects\KieuStory\.agents\teamwork\ORIGINAL_REQUEST.md completely. Do not skip this.
Read c:\Projects\KieuStory\.agents\teamwork\orchestrator_1\PROJECT.md.
Read c:\Projects\KieuStory\.agents\teamwork\orchestrator_1\GATE_STATUS.md.

INVESTIGATION OBJECTIVES:
1. Start Frame Resolution Audit for All Ep01 Shots (Scenes 01 to 10):
   - Analyze all shots returned by production_orchestrator.get_all_shots().
   - For every shot of Scenes 01 to 10, evaluate classify_shot_take() and resolve_start_frame().
   - Verify: Which shots are Cinematic Cuts? Which are Continuous Takes?
   - Verify: For all Cinematic Cuts, does resolve_start_frame() resolve to a physical file that actually exists on disk? Are any paths missing or None?
   - Report a breakdown table of Start Frame availability per scene (Scenes 01 to 10).
2. Pipeline Critic Gate Integration Audit:
   - Inspect 05_Production_Pipeline/production_orchestrator.py:
     * How is render_shot() implemented?
     * Is evaluate_shot_gate from antigravity_critic_gate.py called after a shot is rendered?
     * Is there an automated retake loop if score < 0.8? If not, what needs to be added?
     * How is evaluate_scene_gate called after all shots in a scene are rendered or during batch-scene / concat-scene?
3. Audio Guard Formatting:
   - Check how the Audio Guard prompt suffix is appended in run_shot.py, production_orchestrator.py, and multi_worker_orchestrator.py. Does it strictly enforce the directive from AGENTS.md §3?
4. Worker Execution & Environment Readiness:
   - Inspect Muse.ai runner configuration (agent-browser --session muse, headless/dry-run modes).
   - How can the pipeline be verified end-to-end in automated tests without hanging on external browser sessions?
5. Formulate Concrete Implementation Plan:
   - Define exact tasks for the Worker in Milestone M3.
   - Design new/updated tests in tests/ to verify M3 functionality.
6. Deliver detailed findings and code recipes in:
   c:\Projects\KieuStory\.agents\teamwork\explorer_m3_1\production_pipeline_readiness.md
   and your handoff report to:
   c:\Projects\KieuStory\.agents\teamwork\explorer_m3_1\handoff.md.
7. Send a message to parent orchestrator when complete.
