# Execution Plan

## Current Medium Branch

- Branch: MV shot-image production for later video assembly.
- Format: 16:9 horizontal.
- Production mode: image assets first; video generation/editing remains manual or semi-manual until explicitly automated.
- Prompt ownership: Codex owns final image prompts; GPT intake is source specification, not final prompt.

## Current Execution Focus

Shot-image production is complete for the current 51-shot table. Next work is assembly / export / closeout when requested.

Immediate focus:

1. Do not dispatch more production image packages unless the user requests append-only repair/retry for named slides.
2. Use direct child sessions for normal production-light packages.
3. Keep review `none` unless the user explicitly asks for review.
4. Use test/audit routing only for repairs, workflow debugging, or explicit investigation.

## Materialization Targets

| Target | Required Output | Status |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Character anchor board | Main 16:9 board on shallow gray-white background | accepted v2 |
| Character transparent slices | Front full body, side full body, back full body, walking side, walking back | accepted v2-from-anchor set |
| Character labels | Short identity, clothing, prop, and boundary labels | pending |
| Style anchor board | 16:9 dark-gray board with A/B/C/D samples | accepted |
| C style retest | Dark muddy puddle / broken star reflection sample | accepted |
| Shot test package | S-01, S-10, S-46, S-47, S-51 | accepted |

## Small-Batch Strategy

Do not generate all 51 shots first.

Round 1 uses five shots because they test the system's biggest risks:

| Shot | Why It Is In Round 1 | Anchor |
| --- | --- | --- |
| S-01 | Opening landscape: proves world-before-person and main A composition. | A |
| S-10 | Steel canyon: proves city pressure without tech/UI drift. | B |
| S-46 | Muddy starlight: proves the soul image and C repair. | C |
| S-47 | Night road fire: proves restrained near-fire transition after C. | D |
| S-51 | Final wide: proves distant fire, no victory, no gathering, person remains small. | D |

Round 1 success means these are true:

- The traveler stays recognizable without becoming a portrait subject.
- A/B/C/D feel like one MV, not four unrelated styles.
- C is no longer sunrise/pretty reflection and has clear muddy starlight.
- D is warm but not camping, gathering, or victory.
- The output can support later prompt batching without rewriting the visual system.

## Current Round

- Round: R2 five-shot trial preparation.
- R0 completed: intake cleaned; project execution files initialized.
- R1 completed so far: v2 main character anchor accepted; identity lock approved for slice generation; five transparent slice candidates generated and rejected due identity drift from v2.
- R1 completed: v2 main character anchor accepted; v2-from-anchor transparent slice set accepted.
- R1 completed: C style retest accepted as `style-anchor-c-repair-v1.png`.
- R1 completed: common style anchor board accepted as `style-anchor-board-v1.png`.
- R2 completed: S-01 generated once and accepted by user.
- R2 completed: user waived intermediate prompt review for S-10; S-10 generated once and accepted by user.
- R2 completed: S-46 generated once and accepted by user.
- R2 completed: S-47 generated once and accepted by user.
- R2 completed: S-51 generated once and accepted by user.
- R2 completed: five-shot visual trial generated and accepted by user.
- R3 character-consistency workflow test completed: `s21-v3`, `s14-v2`, and `s25-v2` generated through the Advisor / visible-reference path and accepted by user. Quality route is usable; duplicate `Agent S-14` remains a historical mechanism defect from this run.
- R3 third-round workflow test completed: `session-04` generated `s33-v2` and `s06-v2` through a clean user-visible child session plus internal one-shot SubAgents. Both images were accepted by user; review files were absent as requested; no duplicate-worker defect was observed in this two-slide scope.
- R4 completed visually with mechanism warnings: clean child session `019ef8cf-4ab1-7b41-877b-979dc25b0a76` generated `s02-v2`, `s03-v2`, and `s04-v2`; user accepted all three images and review files were absent as requested. Mechanism is not a clean pass because brief/packet files were written by slide Agents rather than prewritten by the visible child session; `S-04` also has a worker-launch sequencing warning.
- R5 brief-ownership test completed: clean child session `019ef907-16b7-7a43-9924-227892aa62d3` generated accepted `s07-v2`, `s08-v3`, and `s09-v2` with child-owned brief/packet before worker launch for successful outputs. `s08-v2` remains incomplete transport-failure evidence and was retried append-only as `s08-v3`.
- Package-size trials completed through a user-authorized 4-slide package. `session-07` produced accepted `s11-v2`, `s12-v2`, and `s13-v2` with observed context 157K and elapsed time 30m5s. `session-08` mechanically completed `s15-v2` through `s18-v2`, but `s16-v2` failed visual acceptance because it did not achieve `横向大远景，路从画面一侧切向远方，人物极小` and was too similar to `s15`.
- R6 Phase 1 notification/wakeup test completed and user accepted the image: clean child session `019ef9bc-fe96-75b3-b902-5d5ef95feca3` generated append-only `s16-v3` and sent a callback to parent thread `019ef9b5-cc39-7a42-91b1-f9b0852dc95e`; parent post-processing used local handoff/file evidence without polling the child thread.
- R7 production-light simplification test completed: `session-12` generated `s26-v2`, `s27-v2`, and `s28-v2` with review `none`; user accepted all three images and observed 25m48s / 134K tokens.
- R7 direct-child production-light test completed: `session-13` generated `s29-v2`, `s30-v2`, and `s31-v2` directly without Agent/SubAgent; user accepted all three images and observed 10m32s / 114K tokens. This is now the formal production default.
- Production capacity validation completed: direct child session `019efc24-96a4-7582-bb05-914b82a726d5` generated `s32-v2`, `s34-v2`, `s35-v1`, `s36-v1`, and `s37-v1` without Agent/SubAgent or review files; user accepted all five images. User observed callback at about 152K tokens / 58% context and final usage after post-callback document/check work at about 164K tokens / 63% context.
- 8-slide compression validation completed: direct child session `019efc48-d4af-7972-8646-6d04778dfb2c` generated `s38-v1` through `s45-v1` without Agent/SubAgent or review files; user promoted the package to production-pass by production-stage default. User observed 174K tokens / 67% context / 38m37s elapsed. Ordinary production-light packages may now use up to 8 slides, but child callback must be the final action.
- Final production package completed: direct child session `019efc78-e0f1-7601-aaec-bab4f3e6f99d` generated `s48-v1`, `s49-v1`, and `s50-v1` without Agent/SubAgent or review files; child reported `complete`, `problems: none`, `needs_user: none`; parent verification found expected files present, exact review files absent, and no post-callback child writes.

## Active Batch

No active child production package is running. R7 production-light outputs `s26-v2`, `s27-v2`, `s28-v2`, `s29-v2`, `s30-v2`, and `s31-v2`, capacity-validation outputs `s32-v2`, `s34-v2`, `s35-v1`, `s36-v1`, and `s37-v1`, 8-slide validation outputs `s38-v1` through `s45-v1`, and final production outputs `s48-v1` through `s50-v1` are accepted into production-pass. Direct-child, no-Agent topology remains the current production route for future repair/retry packages.

No single-shot gate is active. The five-shot visual trial is accepted. The character-consistency workflow test is visually accepted for S-21, S-14, S-25, S-33, S-06, S-07, S-08, S-09, S-11, S-12, S-13, S-16/s16-v3, S-20/s20-v3, S-22/s22-v3, S-23/s23-v3, S-24/s24-v2, S-26 through S-32, and S-34 through S-50. R4 images for S-02, S-03, and S-04 are visually accepted but remain a mechanism-warning run because child-session brief ownership did not match the desired boundary. `S-16/s16-v2` remains rejected historical evidence.

## Open Decisions

| Decision | Default |
| --- | --- |
| Character source face | Current stage does not use the real face; use a 50-year-old traveler based on the defined character system. |
| Character board size | 16:9 page, shallow gray-white background. |
| Character board scope | MVP can start with front/side/back full body plus half-body state; full version should add walking side/back and prop breakdowns. |
| Style board scope | MVP one-page A/B/C/D board; C should be marked as repaired / accepted. |
| Full shot production | Authorized for production-light. Current default route: named clean user-visible child sessions (`子会话：...`) handle up to 8 ordinary production slides directly, write brief/prompt/image/slide status/handoff, use append-only version scanning with overwrite disallowed, suppress review files, skip Agent/SubAgent, skip packet/return artifacts, skip routine final completeness audit, and callback the parent as the final child action when complete or blocked. Use 1-3 slides for identity-heavy, repair-heavy, core-risk, or context-expensive scopes. MiniMax MCP/external vision remains off unless explicitly authorized. |

## Next Decision

Next decision:

- Shot-image production is complete for the current 51-shot table; there is no remaining not-started production scope.
- Keep callback-only behavior: parent dispatches and exits; child completes all writes/checks/handoff work first, then callbacks parent as the final action. Parent reads local handoff by default and inspects details only on warning/blocked/failed.
- Keep the quality route: `gpt-image-2` Advisor prompt/spec, active style master, active character registry when needed, and visible reference images loaded before generation.
- Keep the production-light topology: the visible child session writes `sNN-vN-brief.md`, `sNN-vN-prompt.md`, `sNN-vN-image.png`, `slides.md` updates, and a compact handoff directly. Agent/SubAgent and packet/return files are opt-in for test/audit, repair, exception, or explicit isolated-slide work.
- Keep append-only retry behavior: incomplete outputs such as `s08-v2` remain historical evidence and retries use the next unused version.
- Keep the write-before version scan: one successful slide/version should have one brief/prompt/image target set, and existing files must not be overwritten without explicit authorization.
