Research direction

Look for the read_file implementation in the codebase to understand how file ingestion works. Check if there are existing video processing utilities or model interfaces for video-capable models. The goal is to add a read_video path or extend read_file to handle MP4 files, including metadata extraction and frame sampling. Test with a video-capable model to ensure the fallback for unsupported models is clear.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Summary

space-bunny-alpha advertises native video understanding, but local MP4 analysis currently requires a custom AVFoundation/Swift frame extractor because read_file only reports the video as binary. Please consider adding a native read_video path for video-capable models, with metadata, bounded sampling, and a clear fallback for unsupported models.

Expected Behavior

There should be a read_video tool or read_file can be extended to natively understand video if selected model has native video undersanding

Actual Behavior

harness built a swift frame extractor

Steps to reproduce the issue

Gave the following prompt which was derived from here. You can also extract the video from the tweet
https://x.com/yusufg/status/2061429526585106486
Load the video in kyle-geocities.mp4 and turn it into an Apple-style website from 2026. Generate a plan and write it in space-bunny-alpha.md

I thought space-bunny-alpha would natively understand the video
