vNext core changes for pre-production and multi-user auth.

Accepted and implemented

The accepted expansion changes ChannelHelm from "ingest a finished video and publish derivatives" to "plan, produce, publish, and learn from brand-scoped content." The Publishing Package remains the canonical post-production object.

Accepted changes

Pre-production records for ideas, scripts, script versions, and evidence.
Nullable idea/script links from sources and packages into generation context.
Local user accounts, sessions, and brand memberships.
Versioning for assets and scripts.
Lifecycle IA around Plan, Produce, Publish, and Channel.

Assumptions that stay

ChannelHelm remains local-first; brands remain the root scope; the custom Postgres queue remains the job substrate; Python remains isolated to the ML CLIs; provenance remains mandatory; *_plan assets remain internal; DojoClaw and Zernio remain behind their integration modules.

Implementation status

The June 4, 2026 implementation added Plan records, source/package links, local dashboard auth, brand roles, guest review links, asset/script versioning, IA surfaces, channel programming, analytics, and RTMP/CTV distribution targets.
