Editor's notes
LumenX is a locally run web app that needs Python 3.11+ and Node.js 18+ plus FFmpeg; npm run dev starts the front and back ends together, and the repo also has scripts for packaging a desktop app. The minimum setup is one Alibaba Cloud DashScope API key, which covers models such as Wan, Kling and Vidu plus CosyVoice and Qwen3-TTS voices; Seedance 2.0 needs a separate MuleRun connection. Besides the Studio pipeline there is a Playground for generating without a script. The repo's only SKILL.md is a generic intent-clarification skill unrelated to manju production.
