Medios-Macina/MPV/pipeline_helper.py

"""Persistent MPV pipeline helper.

This process connects to MPV's IPC server, observes a user-data property for
pipeline execution requests, runs the pipeline in-process, and posts results
back to MPV via user-data properties.

Why:
- Avoid spawning a new Python process for every MPV action.
- Enable MPV Lua scripts to trigger any cmdlet pipeline cheaply.

Protocol (user-data properties):
- Request:  user-data/medeia-pipeline-request (JSON string)
  {"id": "...", "pipeline": "...", "seeds": [...]}  (seeds optional)
- Response: user-data/medeia-pipeline-response (JSON string)
  {"id": "...", "success": bool, "stdout": "...", "stderr": "...", "error": "..."}
- Ready:    user-data/medeia-pipeline-ready ("1")

This helper is intentionally minimal: one request at a time, last-write-wins.
