The Video object

State machine

Seven states, built on the OpenRouter naming and extended with cancelled / expired.

Transitions: pending → queued → in_progress → completed is the success path. Any non-terminal state can move to failed, cancelled, or expired.

Video URLs

A successful task may return two sets of URLs, depending on whether the model’s provider has CDN mirroring enabled.
