Problem

The reference_image_urls parameter in VideoGenProvider.generate() requires HTTP/HTTPS URLs. Local filesystem paths are not accepted. This forces implementors to mirror reference images to a CDN before each generation call, adding latency and complexity.

Proposed Change

Accept file:// scheme or bare absolute paths in reference_image_urls, with automatic base64 encoding or upload handled by the Hermes plugin runtime before forwarding to the provider.

Motivation

Mother mirrors brand reference images to Tigris CDN (30-second SLA) before each Luma video generation specifically to satisfy this requirement. Filesystem path support would remove that step and reduce generation latency.
