 Video generation lives in the `videogen` package (ADR-0019), mirroring
 imagegen/audio: one small `Model` contract, zero values mean backend
-defaults, bytes in/out. Text-to-video and image-to-video are one surface —
-a nil `InitImage` is a pure text prompt; setting it conditions generation
-on that frame (hybrid checkpoints like Wan 2.2 TI2V serve both). First
-backend: llama-swap (blocking `/v1/videos/sync`, vLLM-Omni style — the
+defaults, bytes in/out. All modes are one surface, selected by which
+keyframes are set rather than by a mode flag:
+
+| `InitImage` | `LastImage` | mode |
+|---|---|---|
+| nil | nil | text-to-video |
+| set | nil | image-to-video (hybrid checkpoints like Wan 2.2 TI2V serve both) |
+| set | set | first-last-frame — both ends pinned |
+| nil | set | pin the destination, model invents the approach |
+
+First backend: llama-swap (blocking `/v1/videos/sync`, vLLM-Omni style — the
 response body is the encoded clip, so `Result` carries a single `Video`).
 Generation runs for minutes; bound the call with a context deadline.
 
+**`LastImage` support is per-model and cannot be detected.** A backend that
+does not understand a trailing keyframe ignores the part and returns an
+ordinary clip — indistinguishable from success. There is no capability bit,
+because the contract has no way to learn one, so a caller depending on the
+pin must establish support out of band.
