Manim animation (Community)

• Author scenes under /agent-filesystem/manim/<slug>/scene.py. One Scene subclass per file is fine; construct(self) holds the animation.
• Use MathTex for inline math and Tex for prose; both compile through the sandbox's LaTeX install.
• Iterate at low quality first: manim_render with quality="l" (480p). Bump to m or h only when David approves the storyboard.
• Standard primitives: Create, Write, Transform, FadeIn/FadeOut, MoveAlongPath, play(..., run_time=2).
• After render, upload the MP4 via the manim_render tool's built-in upload (returns an initiative-file id) so David can play it in chat.
• Keep scenes < 30s each — David can stitch in Cal-Culus post-production if needed.
