;; N-way weighted blend effect
;; Streaming-compatible: pass inputs as a list of frames
;; Usage: (blend_multi :inputs [(read a) (read b) (read c)] :weights [0.3 0.4 0.3])
;;
;; Parameters:
;;   inputs      - list of N frames to blend
;;   weights     - list of N floats, one per input (resolved per-frame)
;;   mode        - blend mode applied when folding each frame in:
;;                   "alpha"       — pure weighted average (default)
;;                   "multiply"    — darken by multiplication
;;                   "screen"      — lighten (inverse multiply)
;;                   "overlay"     — contrast-boosting midtone blend
;;                   "soft-light"  — gentle dodge/burn
;;                   "hard-light"  — strong dodge/burn
;;                   "color-dodge" — brightens towards white
;;                   "color-burn"  — darkens towards black
;;                   "difference"  — absolute pixel difference
;;                   "exclusion"   — softer difference
;;                   "add"         — additive (clamped)
;;                   "subtract"    — subtractive (clamped)
;;                   "darken"      — per-pixel minimum
;;                   "lighten"     — per-pixel maximum
;;   resize_mode - how to match frame dimensions (fit, crop, stretch)
;;
;; Uses a left-fold over inputs[1..N-1].  At each step the running
;; opacity is:  w[i] / (w[0] + w[1] + ... + w[i])
;; which produces the correct normalised weighted result.
