What

Adds cosmos_miri as a new clip in the cosmos rotating pool — the same Carina "Cosmic Cliffs" towers as the existing primary, but rendered from Webb's NIRCam + MIRI mid-infrared composite, giving a muted gray/teal/gold dust palette distinct from the iconic orange/blue flythrough.

Operator asked for more Cosmic Cliffs footage and a different-color rendering ("numbers 1 and 4"): keep the flythrough primary (#1), add the mid-infrared pan (#4).

Source

ESA/Webb weic2205c — Pan of the Carina Nebula (combined NIRCam + MIRI), https://esawebb.org/videos/weic2205c/
4K master, text-free / human-free, credit NASA, ESA, CSA, STScI (CC-BY-class — same class as the existing pool)
Trim 4–26s (clears the opening fade-from-black), 1 s crossfade-loop -> ~21 s seamless loop -> 1080p base + 4K master (media gitignored)

Changes

POOLS["cosmos"] 4 -> 5 members; primary unchanged (cosmos)
META + LABELS authored for cosmos_miri (nebula/star/distance, salience-gated); affect inherits the cosmos scale vocabulary
manifest.json regenerated (19 -> 20 clips)
docs/content-candidate-pool.md updated (cosmos pool of 5 + sourcing note)
local-only review.html gallery card added (gitignored, not in this diff)

Verification

271 passed, 2 skipped
Smoke test: manifest endpoint exposes cosmos_miri; /media/cosmos_miri/base.mp4 serves (200)
Loop seam + text-free/human-free vetted by frame extraction

Note

Runner-up "Diving Into the Cosmic Cliffs" (carina_revisit_pan, NIRCam palette) was left out — it repeats the existing palette. Easy to add if wanted.

feat(content): add cosmos_miri pool member (Carina mid-infrared pan) e3a9b7cff6

Operator wanted more Cosmic Cliffs footage and a different-color rendering.
Keeps the NIRCam flythrough as the cosmos primary and adds ESA/Webb weic2205c
("Pan of the Carina Nebula, combined NIRCam + MIRI") as a new cosmos pool
member — the same Carina towers in the muted gray/teal/gold MIRI mid-infrared
palette, distinct from the iconic orange/blue flythrough.

- POOLS["cosmos"] grows 4 -> 5 (cosmos, cosmos_miri, galaxies, hudf, xdf);
  primary unchanged.
- META + LABELS authored (nebula/star/distance, salience-gated); affect inherits
  the cosmos scale vocabulary.
- manifest.json regenerated (19 -> 20 clips).
- Source: 4K master, text-free/human-free, trim 4-26s (clears the fade-from-
  black), 1 s crossfade-loop (~21 s) -> 1080p base + 4K master (gitignored).
- docs/content-candidate-pool.md updated (cosmos pool of 5 + sourcing note).

fix(sim): make sim-local use the venv interpreter 32e74ca446

`make sim-local` called bare `python`, which isn't on this box's PATH (only
python3 / .venv/bin/python exist) — so it failed instantly and "couldn't connect"
to the server. Resolve PYTHON to the venv interpreter, falling back to
python3 then python.
