Request-level media_io_kwargs could override the engine num_frames setting with -1 or an arbitrarily large value, bypassing the frame-count protection added by PR vllm-project#38636 for CVE-2026-34755. This restores request-controlled, linearly scalable memory allocation at the video/jpeg decoder. Clamp the merged num_frames to the engine ceiling inside VideoMediaIO.merge_kwargs so that requests can only lower, never raise or disable, the operator limit. Engine num_frames=-1 (operator unlimited) is respected; absent engine config falls back to the constructor default of 32.

Summary
media_io_kwargs.video.num_frames=-1(or an arbitrarily large positive value) could override the engine frame-count ceiling, restoring the unboundedvideo/jpegdecode path that PR (security) Enforce frame limit in VideoMediaIO #38636 was meant to close.VideoMediaIO.merge_kwargs: whenruntime_kwargsare present, the mergednum_framesis clamped to the engine ceiling (positive engine value → hard max; engine-1→ operator unlimited; absent → constructor default of 32). Requests may lower but never raise the ceiling.Test plan
