Set cards over the video when a style asks for it

[nmbrthirteen]

Adds placement: "page" | "overlay" to ThemeInput.

• Overlay draws stat, headline, entity, bullets, quote, compare, change and share as a compact panel under the logo. The speaker's face stays clear.
• Paper packs get a torn sheet with labelled figures. Flat packs get a solid ground block.
• Every pack defaults to page, so existing styles render unchanged.
• An unknown placement falls back to the pack default.

Tests: 230 pass.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Added overlay-style presentations for stat, headline, entity, bullet, quote, comparison, change, and share cards.
  • Themes can now use page or overlay placement. The Swiss theme supports overlay placement, while themes retain their default placement when an unsupported option is selected.
  • Overlay cards animate their content and exit, with progress bars reflecting share values. Bullet and comparison cards display up to three items.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Themes now support page and overlay placement. StyledCards routes supported overlay cards to OverlayCard, which renders themed card content with animated reveals and exit fading.

Changes

Overlay card rendering

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Theme placement contract remotion/src/style/theme.ts, remotion/src/style/theme.test.ts	Themes accept page or overlay placement. Resolution uses a valid requested placement or the selected theme’s default. Tests cover defaults, a requested Swiss overlay placement, and an unrecognized placement.
Overlay card bodies and animation remotion/src/style/pages.tsx, remotion/src/style/overlay.tsx	Shared page helpers are exported for overlay use. OverlayCard renders supported card kinds with timed reveals, applies entrance and exit animations, and renders paper or ground-colored panels.
StyledCards overlay routing remotion/src/style/styled.tsx	When placement is overlay and the card kind is supported, StyledCards renders OverlayCard with the card timing and scaled top offset. Other cards continue through TakeoverPage.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 5fbdc

Styles that use the new overlay placement can render cards missing headline emphasis, extra bullets, change notes, or entity images. A placement set through theme overrides is also ignored. Existing page-placement styles are unaffected, but these gaps should be fixed before overlay styles ship.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 5fbdc

The change remains within video presentation and preserves the existing page renderer as a fallback. No introduced security issue was established. However, overlay entity images use the original source URL rather than optional texture substitution, and the resulting network exposure has not been established.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The demonstrated changed exposure is the rendering of supported takeover cards in an overlay. The inspected route does not establish additional tenant, service, data-store, or credential authority; render-environment network exposure remains unresolved.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — Placement validation and the explicit supported-kind gate constrain renderer selection. Inspected card strings flow through React children or RevealText rather than a raw HTML sink. These are presentation controls, not authentication or media-origin authorization.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• inferred — The inspected animation path recomputes presentation from frames and locally derived timing rather than committing shared state. Interruption or repeated rendering therefore does not require a shared-state rollback in this path.

Review comments at @remotion/src/style/overlay.tsx:
- Around line 175-185: Update ChangeBody to render from.note beside
card.from.value and to.note beside card.to.value when supplied. Keep each note
paired with its corresponding before or after value and preserve the existing
layout and behavior when a note is absent.
- Line 87: Replace the native img in the entity frame with Remotion’s Img
component, preserving its source, alt text, and styling so frame rendering waits
for the image to load.
- Line 106: Update the bullets-card rendering around `card.items.slice(0, 3)` so
items beyond the third are not discarded: render all items when they fit, and
route oversized bullets cards to the page layout.
- Line 64: Update the emphasis handling in the overlay rendering so it preserves
every string in card.emphasis and passes them all to RevealText; ensure emphasis
strings missing from lead are appended and rendered rather than dropped.

Review comments at @remotion/src/style/theme.ts:
- Line 482: Update the placement selection in the theme-building flow around
deepMerge so a valid placement from input.placement or the merged overrides is
preserved, validating the selected value against PLACEMENTS before falling back
to base.placement.
