## R7 Production-Light Active Scope

- Line: `production-light`
- Worker profile: `video-slide-production`
- Running mode: `prompt and generate`
- Review mode: `none`
- Scope: `S-26/S-27/S-28`
- Expected versions from current slide folders: `s26-v2`, `s27-v2`, `s28-v2`
- Child session: `session-12` clean visible Codex child thread `019efbb4-b366-7de3-8e02-01183b3d0b13`
- Parent callback target: `019efb9f-ece2-78d2-ba6a-4ca1dcfe3244`
- Write policy: append-only; overwrite allowed: no
- Production rule: generated images are production-pass outputs by default; no per-image user review gate
- Parent consumption rule: read compact child handoff after callback; inspect prompt / return / image details only on `blocked`, `failed`, `warning`, artifact collision, duplicate worker, or explicit user audit request
- Status: complete; callback received; completion gate `pass`; outputs recorded as production-pass by task rule; user observed 25m48s / 134K tokens

## Direct-Child Production-Light Test Scope

- Line: `production-light`
- Topology: `main session -> child session directly`; no Agent / SubAgent
- Running mode: `prompt and generate`
- Review mode: `none`
- Scope: `S-29/S-30/S-31`
- Expected versions from current slide folders: `s29-v2`, `s30-v2`, `s31-v2`
- Child session: `session-13` clean visible Codex child thread `019efbd8-f75d-7512-9952-aa3528fde581`
- Parent callback target: `019efb9f-ece2-78d2-ba6a-4ca1dcfe3244`
- Write policy: append-only; overwrite allowed: no
- Test purpose: measure real time and context/token use when the child session directly writes brief, prompt, image, slides table, and compact handoff without Agent, packet, return receipt, review, or final verification pass.
- Status: complete; callback received; outputs recorded as production-pass by task rule; user accepted all three images and observed 10m32s / 114K tokens. This direct-child topology is now the formal production default.

## Formal Production Default

- Project phase source: `project.md` records `Workflow phase: production-light`.
- Default child session title: `子会话：<short task/scope>`.
- Default topology: main session -> named child session directly.
- Default child scope: up to 3 slides unless user explicitly overrides.
- Default artifacts: `sNN-vN-brief.md`, `sNN-vN-prompt.md`, `sNN-vN-image.png`, `slides.md` status update, and compact child handoff.
- Default omissions: no review file, no Agent/SubAgent, no packet/return receipt, no routine final verification pass.
- Retained guard: scan target slide folder before writing, choose next unused version, and keep overwrite disabled.

## User Instructions

Latest third-round test instruction:

- Step 1: start a clean child session and send the S-33 production request, with no review.
- Step 2: continue the same child session and send the S-06 production request, with no review.
- Main-session checks focus on child-session startup, internal `Agent` / `SubAgent` operation, and whether the prompt contains character and style references.
- User checks final image acceptability.

Earlier reset instruction after S-05:

Run the character-consistency workflow as a process and identity-consistency test.

Earlier `s05` work exposed two workflow problems:

```text
1. The child session did not start the slide-agent itself.
2. `s05-v1-image.png` was overwritten even though a broad-run candidate already existed.
```

The reset rule for the next run is:

- do not reuse child session `019ef77d-552b-7343-abe4-88921b35d7ea`;
- start a new child session;
- require the new child session to start the single-slide `S-21` agent itself;
- use a new slide artifact version resolved from existing `slides/s21/s21-v*-*` files;
- do not overwrite existing slide artifacts;
- explicitly disable review for this `S-21` test so the workflow can verify that no review file is created when review is disabled.

## Child Session Split

```text
session-01: historical previous attempt; do not reuse
session-02: s21 fallback evidence only; no prompt/image
session-03: s21 accepted -> s14/s25 accepted; duplicate S-14 worker defect recorded
session-04: clean child thread; s33-v2 then s06-v2 accepted; mechanism pass for this scope
session-06: clean child thread; s07-v2 accepted, then s08-v3 and s09-v2 accepted; s08-v2 preserved as incomplete transport-failure evidence
session-07: clean child thread; completed and user accepted S-11/S-12/S-13 as the first direct 3-slide package test
session-08: clean child thread `019ef969-66e7-7c52-a437-045371668d41`; S-15/S-16/S-17/S-18 as first direct 4-slide package test; flow gate pass, S-16 visual repair deferred
session-09: clean child thread `019ef9bc-fe96-75b3-b902-5d5ef95feca3`; R6 Phase 1 callback-only S-16 repair generated `s16-v3`; completion gate pass, user accepted image
session-10: clean child thread `019ef9d0-4914-7ea0-8935-bfd9bfc1aad4`; R6 Phase 2 first 4-shot package for S-19/S-20/S-22/S-23; paused by user after S-20 worker boundary violation; s19-v2 accepted, remaining v2 items incomplete evidence
session-11: clean child thread `019ef9f8-8c34-77a3-82af-9a25beb2c723`; R6 Phase 2 retry package for S-20/S-22/S-23/S-24; callback received, completion gate pass, user accepted all four images
session-12: clean child thread `019efbb4-b366-7de3-8e02-01183b3d0b13`; R7 Agent-backed production-light package for S-26/S-27/S-28; user accepted all three images
session-13: clean child thread `019efbd8-f75d-7512-9952-aa3528fde581`; R7 direct-child/no-Agent production-light package for S-29/S-30/S-31; user accepted all three images; formal production default
```

Current `session-03` continuation generated `s14-v2` and `s25-v2` after user accepted `s21-v3-image.png`; user then accepted both images and closed the test. The mechanism result is not a clean pass because two S-14 workers were created for one slide/version.

`session-04` was created after the carrier rule was corrected to use a clean user-visible child thread, not a forked/inherited-context thread. It received S-33 first, then S-06 as a continuation in the same child thread.

Session-04 mechanism result:

- child session was visible to user and recorded as `019ef876-c5b2-7202-b204-774cb5fb95fd`;
- child session started one internal one-shot worker for each slide: `Agent S-33` and `Agent S-06`;
- each worker handled exactly one slide and resolved the next unused version before writing;
- no `s33-v2-review.md` or `s06-v2-review.md` exists;
- prompts record `gpt-image-2` Advisor / host-native mode plus style and character reference inputs;
- user accepted both generated images.

Continuation rule now validated for this two-slide scope:

- use the same clean child thread only inside the user-approved task scope;
- child thread must start one separate one-shot slide worker per slide;
- do not reuse or continue a previous slide worker;
- each worker handles exactly one slide;
- each slide resolves the next unused version by scanning existing files;
- do not overwrite existing broad-run or accepted images.

Session id record:

```text
session-01 child session agent id: 019ef77d-552b-7343-abe4-88921b35d7ea (deprecated / do not reuse)

session-04 Agent S-06 id: 019ef886-8797-7243-9427-d45065fcfc47
```

Continuation result:

- `s14-v2-prompt.md`, `s14-v2-image.png`, and `s14-v2-slide-agent-return.md` exist; no `s14-v2-review.md` exists.
- `s25-v2-prompt.md`, `s25-v2-image.png`, and `s25-v2-slide-agent-return.md` exist; no `s25-v2-review.md` exists.
- `s14` prompt evidence records `gpt-image-2` Advisor / host-native mode, visible side/front character refs, and style module `B | 高位观察`.
- `s25` prompt evidence records `gpt-image-2` Advisor / host-native mode, visible side/front/body refs, and style module `A | 清晨泥泞旷野` adapted for dust/detail.
- User accepted both `s14-v2-image.png` and `s25-v2-image.png`.
- Defect: child handoff records only `Agent S-14` `019ef803-95d7-7411-8d3c-c7f2f68a32e7`, but parent thread inspection also found duplicate `Agent S-14` `019ef803-328a-7e40-a0b0-0333c6b5fc6c`; the S-14 return/image source path records the duplicate thread folder. Treat step 2 as generated-with-defect, not as workflow pass.

Session-04 result:

- `s33-v2-brief.md`, `s33-v2-prompt.md`, `s33-v2-image.png`, and `session-04/returns/s33-v2-slide-agent-return.md` exist; no `s33-v2-review.md` exists.
- `s06-v2-brief.md`, `s06-v2-prompt.md`, `s06-v2-image.png`, and `session-04/returns/s06-v2-slide-agent-return.md` exist; no `s06-v2-review.md` exists.
- `s33` prompt evidence records `gpt-image-2` Advisor / host-native mode, A/D-adjacent style calibration, and visible side/front/master character refs.
- `s06` prompt evidence records `gpt-image-2` Advisor / host-native mode, style module `A / Landscape-Led Road`, and visible back/walking character refs.
- User accepted both `s33-v2-image.png` and `s06-v2-image.png`.
- Mechanism pass: this run used a clean child session and one distinct internal SubAgent per slide; no duplicate worker was observed in this scope.

## Visual-System Usage

- Style continuity must use `visual-system/style/style-prompt-master.md`.
- Character continuity must use `visual-system/characters/character-reference-registry.md`.
- Reference-capable generation must use the validated host built-in reference-by-visible-context path:
  - write the prompt/spec through the `gpt-image-2` Skill Advisor workflow;
  - load the real reference image into the conversation context before generation;
  - call host `image_gen` with the loaded image assigned a role such as `Image 1`;
  - record the input path, output path, and reference-path caveat in the compact handoff or task status; only Agent-backed test/audit or repair runs need a return.

## Rules

- Do not invoke CCPE.
- Do not ask GPT V2 for final prompts.
- Do not use Minimax MCP or other external review services.
- Do not treat old broad-run images as accepted finals.
- Do not generate visible-character identity shots from text-only prompts.
- Do not use archived character or style references unless explicitly reopened.
- When a slide agent is used, it handles exactly one slide.
- Child sessions and any slide agents run sequentially.
- In Agent-backed test/audit, repair, or exception runs, one slide/version must have exactly one owning slide-agent. A child session must not create two workers with the same packet and same output targets; prompt/image/return ownership must stay with the same worker id.
- Child-session capacity for formal production-light defaults to maximum 3 slides per child session unless the task plan explicitly changes it.
- Child session carrier rule: production-light uses clean named Codex child/session threads visible to the user and recorded by thread id. The child directly writes brief/prompt/image/status/handoff by default. Slide agents are reserved for test/audit, repair, explicit review, exception, or isolated single-slide work.
- Production child sessions must start as clean user-visible threads. Do not use forked or inherited-context threads unless the user explicitly requests inherited context.
- Main-session production wait rule: callback-only by default. The parent dispatches, records the callback target, and stops routine polling. Time-based polling schedules are fallback only when callback tooling is unavailable or the user explicitly requests polling for a named run.
- Parent-facing heartbeat/status updates should not trigger extra child-thread inspection in routine production.
- Production-light closeout is minimal: version scan, no overwrite, image paths/status recorded, review absent when `review: none`, compact handoff before callback. The fuller completion gate is for test/audit, repair, explicit review, or exception scopes.
- Slide Agents, when used, are one-shot and become terminal / closed after return; do not continue or reuse them.
- Main session records the new child session id so later slides can be sent to the same child session after user approval.
- Resolve the slide artifact version before each slide run by scanning existing `slides/sNN/sNN-v*-*` files.
- Do not overwrite existing slide artifacts. If any planned target file already exists, stop and report an artifact collision.
- Do not backfill missing prompt or brief files for old broad-run images as if they were original generation inputs.
- In production-light, `sNN-vN-review.md` should not be produced unless the task plan is changed.

## Expected Outputs

Current production-light expected outputs:

```text

projects/2026-06-23-在路上/tasks/2026-06-24-character-consistency/session-NN/child-session-handoff.md
```

Do not expect `sNN-vN-review.md`, slide-agent packet files, or slide-agent return files in production-light unless the task explicitly overrides the default.

## Historical User Review / Sampling Plan

These reporting gates are closed historical test notes. Production-light now defaults to no per-image user review; user review happens only by explicit sampling, repair request, or test/audit override.

After `s21` generation, stop and report:

- new child session id;
- `S-21` slide-agent id;
- files written;
- resolved output version;
- whether the child session started `Agent S-21` itself;
- whether review was correctly suppressed;
- whether the prompt used `gpt-image-2` Advisor, active character reference, and the D style module;
- whether the same child session should receive `s14` and `s25` next.

For the `s14` / `s25` continuation, report:

- whether the existing child thread continued work;
- `Agent S-14` and `Agent S-25` thread ids;
- whether the two new agents are separate from `Agent S-21`;
- files written for `s14-v2` and `s25-v2`;
- whether prompts used `gpt-image-2` Advisor and active character/style references;
- whether review files were or were not produced, matching the continuation packet rule;
- whether generation completed for both slides.

This reporting gate is closed for `session-03`: both images were accepted by the user, review files were correctly absent, and the duplicate-worker defect was carried forward into the next mechanism test.

For the `session-04` S-33 / S-06 test, report:

- whether the child session was clean and user-visible rather than forked from parent context;
- `session-04` child thread id;
- `Agent S-33` and `Agent S-06` ids;
- whether S-06 continued the same child session without reusing `Agent S-33`;
- files written for `s33-v2` and `s06-v2`;
- whether prompts used `gpt-image-2` Advisor and active character/style references;
- whether review files were or were not produced, matching the no-review packet rule;
- whether generation completed and user accepted both images.

This reporting gate is closed for `session-04`: the user confirmed the mechanism checks passed and accepted both `s33-v2-image.png` and `s06-v2-image.png`.

## Stop Conditions

- Required reference image cannot be loaded into the conversation context.
- `gpt-image-2` mode check no longer returns a host/advisor path.
- Host image generation cannot be called.
- Generated image cannot be copied into the project slide folder.
- Any planned output path already exists and overwrite is not explicitly authorized.
- The child reports `blocked`, `failed`, or `warning`, or a generated result is later judged unusable and needs an append-only retry.
