Description

Given a number of pixels as an input, we should exit the transcode early if the number of pixels in the encoded output exceeds the pixels specified. This allows the O to minimize the value at risk due to under-payment.

Research direction

Start by reading this issue and the related issues #125 and #124 to understand the intended pixel limit and under-payment risk. Locate the transcoding entry point in the repository and trace how encoded-output pixel counts become available. Done means transcoding exits early when the encoded output exceeds the requested pixel count, with behavior covered by an appropriate test.
