render-daily-replay
Auto-render a Remotion video replay of a Nums game on Mainnet. Resolves the target `gameId` from Torii (best reward of the day OR best score of the day, OR a specific gameId the user provides), silently auto-fetches the current NUMS price from Ekubo, then runs `pnpm remotion:render:game` with the right props. Use when the user asks to render today's top game, the daily winner, the biggest reward, the highest score, or any specific gameId, without having to assemble the render command by hand.
