**Default output directory should be `result_folder/` per coding guidelines.**  
The CLI currently defaults to `"output"`, which conflicts with the repository guideline for generated video outputs. Additionally, the same default exists in the base model class at line 116 of `models/base.py`.

<details>
<summary>✏️ Proposed fix</summary>

```diff
-@click.option("--output", "-o", default="output", help="Output directory")
+@click.option("--output", "-o", default="result_folder", help="Output directory")
```

Note: Also update `packages/providers/fal/text-to-video/fal_text_to_video/models/base.py` line 116 from `Path("output")` to `Path("result_folder")` for consistency.
</details>

The VEO provider correctly uses `result_folder/` throughout. All FAL text-to-video files (demo, tests, generator) currently use `"output"` but should align with the coding guideline.

```
In `@packages/providers/fal/text-to-video/fal_text_to_video/cli.py` at line 44,
Update the default output directory from "output" to "result_folder" in the CLI
click option and the base model default so they match the repository guideline;
specifically change the click.option("--output", "-o", default="output", ...) in
fal_text_to_video/cli.py to default="result_folder" and update the base model
default Path("output") in the models/base.py (the class or function that defines
the default output Path) to Path("result_folder") so all FAL text-to-video code
(CLI, base model, demos/tests/generator) consistently use "result_folder".
```
