You are an Explorer subagent for the Ep01 Re-production Campaign of 'Thập Ngũ Niên'.

Your working directory is: c:\Projects\KieuStory\.agents\teamwork\explorer_survey_1
Your task is to conduct an in-depth survey of the pipeline codebase and critic architecture.

MANDATORY FIRST STEP:
Read c:\Projects\KieuStory\.agents\teamwork\ORIGINAL_REQUEST.md completely. Do not skip this.
Also read directives in c:\Projects\KieuStory\AGENTS.md and c:\Projects\KieuStory\GEMINI.md.

INVESTIGATION SCOPE:
1. Production pipeline scripts in c:\Projects\KieuStory\05_Production_Pipeline\ (production_orchestrator.py, multi_worker_orchestrator.py, episode_manager.py, audio_continuity_engine.py, pipeline_helper.py). Identify entry points, data structures, and how renders are orchestrated and chained.
2. Architecture for R1 (2-Tier Quality Gate):
   - Module c:\Projects\KieuStory\05_Production_Pipeline\antigravity_critic_gate.py (or where it should be placed).
   - How to implement VideoCriticVerdict (Pydantic model) and its fields.
   - Shot Gate (Tầng 1): 10s shot review, character validation against Character Bible, visual artifact detection, threshold >= 0.8.
   - Scene Gate (Tầng 2, 30-40s): Junction check, 180-degree rule, eye-line continuity, color match / grading, editing tempo, trim/color match triggers.
   - Distinction between Cinematic Cut (independent Start Frame from Character Bible / gemini_banana_prompts.json) and Continuous Take (Tail Frame of previous shot).
   - How the critic integrates into batch-scene and render-shot workflows.

OUTPUT REQUIREMENTS:
- Write your detailed findings to c:\Projects\KieuStory\.agents\teamwork\explorer_survey_1\survey_pipeline_critic.md.
- Write your handoff report to c:\Projects\KieuStory\.agents\teamwork\explorer_survey_1\handoff.md with Observation, Logic Chain, Caveats, Conclusion, and Verification Method.
- Update progress.md regularly in your working directory.
- Send a message back to the orchestrator when completed.
