sample_frames_from_url now returns (frames, reason) — reason carries the SPECIFIC cause on failure (ffmpeg's stderr tail, e.g. "moov atom not found", or the timeout) instead of only logging it agent-side. The worker folds it into the failure it reports, so curator's GpuJob.error reads e.g. no frames sampled from video — ffmpeg exit 183: moov atom not found ... instead of the bare "(unprocessable)". The errored-jobs list becomes self-describing: after a retry sweep, surviving errors name their real defect without needing the agent log. Return-value plumbing (not shared state) so concurrent downloaders stay isolated. Agent VERSION → 2026-07-02.2. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
