        Full job resource returned by GET /v3/filler-word-removals/{id}.


        Invariant: ``status=completed`` always carries a ``video_url`` — when
        the

        run changes nothing (no filler cuts and no silence trims) the output is
        a

        byte-copy of the original and the charge is auto-refunded, so polling

        scripts never need a special no-op branch. Note ``num_cuts`` counts
        filler

        segments only; a run may report ``num_cuts=0`` yet still be billed when
        it

        trimmed long silences (``reduction_pct > 0``).
