What was ported

scripts/palettes.py — the PALETTES dict containing 23 named RGB palettes (hardware and artistic). Values are reproduced verbatim from scripts/pixelart.py of pixel-art-studio.

scripts/pixel_art_video.py — the 12 procedural animation init/draw pairs (stars, fireflies, leaves, dust_motes, sparkles, rain, lightning, bubbles, embers, snowflakes, neon_pulse, heat_shimmer) and the SCENES → layer mapping. Ported from scripts/pixelart_video.py with minor refactors:

Names prefixed with _ for private helpers (_px, _pixel_cross)
SCENE_ANIMATIONS renamed to SCENES and restructured to hold layer names (strings) instead of function-name strings resolved via globals()
generate_video() split: the Pollinations text-to-image call was removed (Hermes uses its own image_generate + pixel_art() pipeline for base frames). Only the overlay + ffmpeg encoding remains.
Frame directory is now a tempfile.TemporaryDirectory instead of hand-managed cleanup.
ffmpeg invocation switched from os.system to subprocess.run(check=True) for safety.

What was NOT ported

Wu's Color Quantization (PIL's built-in quantize suffices)
Sobel edge-aware downsampling (requires scipy; not worth the dep)
Bayer / Atkinson dither (would need numpy reimplementation; kept scope tight)
Pollinations text-to-image generation (pixelart_image.py, generate_base() in pixelart_video.py) — Hermes has image_generate
