omni01-Cell/AETHER — reverse-engineered prompt

Build me AETHER, a Rust based headless media creation engine that an AI agent can control from the command line.

I want it to run as a long lived daemon with a lightweight CLI talking to it over a Unix socket, so sessions stay warm between commands. The user should be able to create, open, list, inspect, close, and delete isolated media projects, with each project keeping its own metadata database, cache, locks, and history.

Add a simple semantic command language and REPL so an AI or human can describe media tasks without directly touching internals. Include a project vault for brand assets, character references, and style rules. Add a planner that can break a creative goal into checklist steps and track evidence and progress.

Set up modular Rust crates for core types, CLI, daemon, projects, vault, planner, generation, persistence, video, audio, and image work. Stub the heavy media parts cleanly where needed, but make the architecture compile and feel real. Look up current Rust docs online if you need to.
