Change: Replace FunClip clip center with VideoAgent workbench

Why

The current FunClip-based clip center has not completed a reliable editing loop, and its clipping model is too narrow for a commercial AI video production workflow. TrueGrowth needs the clip center to start from user intent and source media, then produce plans, transcripts, segments, packaged outputs, and publishing assets through a broader VideoAgent-style runtime.

What Changes

• BREAKING: Move the customer-facing AI clip workbench primary provider from funclip-local to videoagent-local.
• Add a local VideoAgent sidecar contract with readiness, start/stop, task submission, polling, and asset-writing endpoints.
• Replace the fixed capability-card-first flow with an intent-first workflow: source media, natural-language goal, business scene, output package, generated plan, execution, and deliverables.
• Expose customer-facing capability groups for basic clipping, video understanding, creative remaking, and voice/audio processing without showing third-party runtime names.
• Keep FunClip only as a hidden migration fallback where needed; it must not define visible product capability or user copy.

Impact

• Affected specs: ai-clip-workbench
• Affected code: scripts/truegrowth-local-api.mjs, apps/web/src/workbench/WorkbenchShell.tsx, apps/web/src/workbench/workbench.scss
• Runtime integration: new /local-api/videoagent* local API family, replacing visible /local-api/funclip/tasks usage in the clip workbench
