Rotated video and EXIF-rotated images report coded size, not display size #38
Description
Needs an owner decision.
spool/media.py:333 and :371 report the coded width and height. A 64x48 video with a 90 degree display matrix is described as 64x48 while every render is 48x64. An EXIF-rotated JPEG behaves the same way. The directing tools take generation size from these fields, so they pick the wrong orientation.
Fixing it changes the recorded width/height for newly described media (existing records stay as they are). Decide whether that change is acceptable, and whether existing media should be re-described.

Implementation status (2026-11-07)
PR #35 reads EXIF/display-matrix orientation for newly described media, including mirrored quarter turns. Four focused regressions and 39 existing media tests pass with real FFmpeg fixtures. Arbitrary angles retain the decoder canvas; source pixels and existing records are unchanged. Review/merge remains open. Current branch head: cf37734368c3de9a6d576a7222f26aa345adc107.

Orientation-aware dimensions are in PR #35. All eight EXIF orientations and FFmpeg display-matrix rotations are covered, including mirrored and arbitrary-angle fixtures. Four new and 39 existing media tests pass. Existing records and source files are unchanged.
