/********************************************************************

• Video‑generator bot for Poe (val.town)
• What was broken?

• ---

• 1️⃣ Video models must be called without streaming – the

•  Poe front‑end does not reliably surface the video URL when the
  

•  request is streamed.  The original script used `stream: true`,
  

•  so the bot never got a usable URL.
  

• 2️⃣ The front‑end does not render raw HTML <video> tags. To show a

•  video you have to send it as a *file attachment* in a `text`
  

•  event (`attachments: [{url,…}]`).  The old code only sent a
  

•  markdown string, which the UI stripped out.
  

• 3️⃣ A stray space in the baseURL caused an occasional connection

•  error – it has been removed.
  

• 4️⃣ Minor clean‑ups: clearer error handling, more precise typing,

•  and better logging for debugging.
  

• This file now works with Poe’s OpenAI‑compatible API and displays the
• generated video correctly in the chat UI. ********************************************************************/
