Pepijn b71e10da6b refactor(annotate): drop dataset-level `tools` parquet column
PR 2 used to write a top-level ``tools`` column on every parquet shard
holding the JSON schema for the ``say`` tool, broadcast identically
across every row. That extends PR 1's schema for no real information
gain — the schema is a fixed code constant, parquet's RLE/dict encoding
collapses it on disk anyway, and HF/TRL chat-template consumers can
just import the constant directly.

PR 2 should fill in PR 1's existing schema, not add to it. So:

- ``writer.py``: stop emitting the ``tools`` column. Strip any legacy
  ``tools`` column from older shards on rerun so the schema converges to
  v3.1. ``SAY_TOOL_SCHEMA`` stays as a public constant (now joined by
  ``DEFAULT_TOOLS = [SAY_TOOL_SCHEMA]``); chat-template policies and the
  visualizer import them directly.
- ``test_writer.py``: replace the "tools column present" assertion with
  one that explicitly checks the column is absent, plus a new test
  asserting the constant's shape.
- ``test_pipeline_recipe_render.py``: drop the tools-column read; assert
  it's not present in the rewritten parquet.
- ``annotation_pipeline.mdx``: update the writer description to note the
  parquet stays small and the schema lives as a code constant.

If multi-tool-set support ever becomes real (datasets with different
tool inventories), the right home is ``meta/info.json["tools"]`` —
adding it later is non-breaking; ripping out a parquet column already
shipped is not.

Pepijn 663fff0ae2 feat(annotate): Module 1 sees the whole episode as one video block
Replaces keyframe sampling with a single Qwen-VL video block covering
the whole demonstration. The model pools temporally itself and chooses
where to cut subtasks — no stride, no count, no keyframe count knob to
tune.

- frames.py: ``FrameProvider`` gains ``video_for_episode(record,
  max_frames)``; ``VideoFrameProvider`` samples up to ``max_frames``
  uniformly across the episode duration; ``_NullProvider`` returns []
  for the no-video fallback. New ``to_video_block`` helper.
- Module 1: drops keyframe sampling. The subtask prompt now goes out as
  ``[{"type":"video", "video":[<frames>]}, {"type":"text", ...}]`` and
  the prompt template asks the model to "watch the whole clip, then
  segment it" with cut points decided from gripper/contact/regrasp
  events the model sees.
- Module1Config: ``keyframes_per_episode`` removed; replaced with
  ``max_video_frames: int = 32`` (model-capacity bound, not annotation
  logic).
- Test: ``test_module1_attaches_video_block_to_subtask_prompt`` locks in
  the single-video-block invariant.
- Stub-VLM markers updated: tests now key on "atomic subtasks" instead
  of the old "Decompose the demonstration" phrase that no longer
  appears in the prompt.
- Docs: updated to describe the whole-episode video-block behavior and
  the no-video fallback.

Pepijn f763f85213 feat: language annotation pipeline (PR 2/3)
Adds the steerable annotation pipeline (`lerobot-annotate`) that populates
the `language_persistent` and `language_events` columns introduced in
PR 1 directly into `data/chunk-*/file-*.parquet`. No flavor namespace,
no sidecar tree.

Modules produced:
- Module 1 (plan_subtasks_memory): Pi0.7-style subtasks, plan (init +
  refresh on interjection), MEM-style memory at subtask boundaries.
- Module 2 (interjections_and_speech): t=0 speech-only acknowledgement,
  mid-episode paired interjection + speech tool-call atom.
- Module 3 (general_vqa): bbox/keypoint/count/attribute/spatial pairs at
  configurable cadence with one-retry JSON validation.

Writer enforces: per-episode persistent identity, exact-frame event
timestamps, column routing per `column_for_style`, dataset-level `tools`
column with the `say` schema, drops legacy `subtask_index`. Validator
runs against staged JSONL artifacts before the writer rewrites parquet.

Adds `lerobot-annotate` console script, `annotations` extra (datatrove +
optional vllm), `make annotation-e2e` opt-in smoke target, and
`docs/source/annotation_pipeline.mdx`.

Branched from PR 1 (`feat/language-columns`).
