video-cutter: standalone sentence-aware cutter

When triggered, invoke the `video-cutter-agent` sub-agent with:

  • `video_path`: path to the source video
  • `word_timings_path`: path to a word-timings JSON, or null (the agent will transcribe with faster-whisper if missing)
  • `target_cut_points`: approximate timestamps in seconds where the user wants cuts
  • `output_dir`: default `Team/BenAI/Profiles/Milan/Daily/{today}/cuts/`, or user-specified
  • `section_titles`: ordered names for the output clip filenames

If word timings are not provided, the agent will transcribe first. Pass `null` for `word_timings_path` to trigger this.

Profile boundary

Output writes to `Profiles/Milan/` unless the user specifies otherwise. See [[yt-pipeline SPEC|SPEC.md]].
