fix(producer): tighten chunk-boundary test gates + narrow VIDEO_EXT indexing

Address @vanceingalls and @miguel-heygen review findings on #852:

1. Asymmetric soft-skip — only the N=1 plan+render+assemble call was
   wrapped in the host-Chrome-failure catch; an SwiftShader / cold-Chrome
   flake on the N=4 call would hard-fail instead of soft-skip. Factor a
   local runRender() helper and wrap both calls.

2. Vacuously-passing length assertion — 'expect(framesOne.length).toBe(
   framesFour.length)' passes when both runs produce 0 frames. Pin the
   absolute count (EXPECTED_FRAME_COUNT = 60) so a regression that
   identically truncates both renders shows red.

3. CDN version drift — anime-boundary loaded gsap@3.14.2 from jsdelivr
   while every other boundary fixture loaded 3.12.2 from cdnjs. Unify on
   cdnjs@3.12.2 so the next reader doesn't have to wonder why one fixture
   diverges. (gsap is an empty duration-driver in all six fixtures so
   the version was never load-bearing — but the divergence reads as
   intentional and isn't.)

4. VIDEO_EXT type narrowing — the lookup is Record<"mp4"|"mov"|"webm">
   but outputFormat includes "png-sequence". The isPngSequence ternary
   short-circuits before png-sequence can reach the indexing site, but TS
   can't narrow through that. Add an explicit cast at the indexing site
   (not the lookup definition — over-widening to include "png-sequence":
   undefined would defeat the existence guarantee).
