# Video Thumbnail Variant Consistency Check

Keep the chosen thumbnail tied to the video variant each platform receives.

## Scope
Preparation and review only. No account action or professional decision.

## Inputs
Video variants, thumbnail selections and target platforms.

## Workflow
1. List the video variant per platform.
2. Record the thumbnail chosen for each variant.
3. Flag a thumbnail exported from a different variant than the one scheduled.
4. Return the consistency map without re-uploading media.

## Output contract
platform | video_variant | thumbnail_variant | match | mismatch | upload_unproved

## Fictional acceptance test
Fictional post sends cut A to one platform and cut B to another, but both thumbnails come from cut A. One platform then shows a frame that is not in its video.

## Review gates
Keep original values, source IDs and version dates. Unknown facts stay held. Use qualified review for hiring, legal and accounting conclusions. No send, share, sign-in, scheduling, ledger change or payment. Fictional contract review is not a live account compatibility test.
