Craigstreamy HEVC Smart Eng Sub Audio Conform Aggressive VMAF Pack

This pack keeps the existing craigstreamy audio-conform delivery intent, but adds a bounded aggressive-VMAF retry loop on the video encode stage.

It keeps:

  • smart_eng_sub + preserve
  • audio_conform for DTS-family and PCM-family inputs
  • the same container branching as the standard audio-conform pack

It adds:

  • QUALITY_MODE=aggressive_vmaf
  • bounded bitrate / CRF pushes until the configured VMAF floor is about to be crossed

Current implementation boundary:

  • enabled for SDR-driven retry paths first
  • falls back to standard encode when libvmaf is unavailable
  • audio behavior is unchanged from the standard audio-conform pack
