feat: add adaptive frame extraction to best-frame procedure
Closes #1349 Implements dynamic frame extraction that adapts to video duration: **Round 1 Improvements:** - Calculate adaptive FPS based on video duration (targets 20-50 frames) - Bound FPS between 0.1-2.0 fps to avoid extremes - Add minimum 10-frame guarantee with automatic re-extraction **Round 2 Improvements:** - Adaptive window sizing: ±0.5s for videos <10s, ±1.0s for longer videos - Adaptive FPS: 20fps for short videos, 10fps for longer videos - Fix winner timestamp calculation to use actual frame interval **Benefits:** - Short videos (5-10s): Adequate coverage without missing key moments - Long videos (5+ min): Efficient extraction without hundreds of frames - Consistent ~30 frame target across medium-length videos **Testing:** Added test_adaptive_fps.sh to validate FPS calculations across various video durations (3s to 1 hour).

# ADAPTIVE BEHAVIOR:
7+
# - Round 1: Dynamically adjusts FPS based on video duration (targets 20-50 frames)
8+
# - FPS bounded between 0.1-2.0 fps to avoid extremes
9+
# - Minimum 10 frames guaranteed even for very short videos
10+
# - Round 2: Adapts window size based on video length
11+
# - Videos <10s: ±0.5s window at 20 fps for tight precision
12+
# - Videos ≥10s: ±1.0s window at 10 fps for standard refinement
