## Timeline

- 2026-06-24: Task initialized from handoff and user instruction.
- 2026-06-24: Mode recorded as `prompt and generate`, but current generation scope limited to `s05`.
- 2026-06-24: Started reusable `session-01` child-session agent `019ef77d-552b-7343-abe4-88921b35d7ea` for incremental `s05 -> s21 -> s14` testing.
- 2026-06-24: Child session wrote `s05` brief and packet.
- 2026-06-24: Started single-slide `s05` slide-agent `019ef781-1ff1-7073-80b0-3cf688104cdb`.
- 2026-06-24: Slide-agent wrote `s05-v1-prompt.md`, `s05-v1-image.png`, and `s05-v1-review.md`.
- 2026-06-24: Main session reconciled an interrupted return mismatch: the return initially claimed generation was blocked, but file/hash evidence showed the slide-agent image had already been generated and copied.
- 2026-06-24: Main session also loaded the same primary reference and produced an alternate reference-check candidate under `.codex/generated_images`; the alternate was not copied into the project.
- 2026-06-24: User identified a workflow defect: the `s05` rerun overwrote an existing broad-run `s05-v1-image.png` candidate. That prior candidate had no matching brief/prompt and is now treated as superseded historical evidence, not as recoverable task output.
- 2026-06-24: Workflow reset before `s21`: update docs and local task records first; do not reuse old child-session id; next slide execution must resolve a new unused slide version and must not overwrite existing artifacts.
- 2026-06-24: Started new `session-02` child-session agent `019ef7ca-413a-7662-9633-7fb126b7ef35` for `s21` only. It must start `Agent S-21` itself or record `runtime fallback required`.
- 2026-06-24: `session-02` resolved `s21-v2`, wrote child-session plan, `s21-v2-brief.md`, `s21-v2-slide-agent-packet.md`, and child-session handoff. It could not start a separate `Agent S-21` because no subagent/spawn tool was exposed inside the child runtime, so it recorded `runtime fallback required` and stopped before prompt/image generation.
- 2026-06-24: Started Codex thread-level child test `session-03` in local project thread `019ef7d2-1a7f-7a90-8c04-0098239dfe0f`. This restart must scan existing `s21-v*-*` artifacts and append a new version, expected to be after `s21-v2`.
- 2026-06-24: `session-03` resolved `s21-v3`, wrote child plan, `s21-v3-brief.md`, and `s21-v3-slide-agent-packet.md`, then started a separate thread-level `Agent S-21` thread `019ef7d6-3ff6-7213-b68c-fd646e39f1d2`.
- 2026-06-24: `Agent S-21` wrote `s21-v3-prompt.md`, generated/copied `s21-v3-image.png`, and wrote `session-03/returns/s21-v3-slide-agent-return.md`. No `s21-v3-review.md` was written.
- 2026-06-24: `session-03` wrote `child-session-handoff.md`; parent task now pauses for user visual confirmation before any `s14` / `s25` continuation.
- 2026-06-24: User visually accepted `s21-v3-image.png`.
- 2026-06-24: Parent authorized continuation for `s14` and `s25` in the same child thread `019ef7d2-1a7f-7a90-8c04-0098239dfe0f`. The child must start two separate one-shot slide workers, `Agent S-14` and `Agent S-25`; it must not reuse or continue `Agent S-21`.
- 2026-06-24: `session-03` continuation wrote `child-session-continuation-s14-s25-plan.md`, `s14-v2-brief.md`, `s25-v2-brief.md`, and packets for `s14-v2` / `s25-v2`.
- 2026-06-24: Child handoff records `Agent S-14` thread `019ef803-95d7-7411-8d3c-c7f2f68a32e7` and `Agent S-25` thread `019ef803-e757-7041-8f4a-fc9dfce23bbd`; both are separate from `Agent S-21`.
- 2026-06-24: Parent inspection found an additional duplicate `Agent S-14` thread `019ef803-328a-7e40-a0b0-0333c6b5fc6c` from the same child thread, using the same `s14-v2` packet and targets. This means step 2 did not satisfy the exact three-agent expectation cleanly.
- 2026-06-24: `s14-v2-prompt.md`, `s14-v2-image.png`, and `s14-v2-slide-agent-return.md` exist, but S-14 provenance is mixed: the child handoff names `019ef803-95d7-7411-8d3c-c7f2f68a32e7`, while the return/image source path records generated-image folder `019ef803-328a-7e40-a0b0-0333c6b5fc6c`.
- 2026-06-24: `s25-v2-prompt.md`, `s25-v2-image.png`, and `s25-v2-slide-agent-return.md` exist from `Agent S-25` `019ef803-e757-7041-8f4a-fc9dfce23bbd`.
- 2026-06-24: No `s14-v2-review.md` or `s25-v2-review.md` was written; review suppression behaved correctly.
- 2026-06-24: User visually accepted both `s14-v2-image.png` and `s25-v2-image.png`. This test is complete. Quality-route issues are considered repaired for the next run; orchestration still needs a duplicate-worker guard and smaller child-session batches for identity-heavy slides.

## Child Session Results

- `session-01` child-session agent: `019ef77d-552b-7343-abe4-88921b35d7ea` (deprecated / do not reuse).
- `session-01` child-session output: `s05` brief and packet only; main session started the `s05` slide-agent, so child-session-owned slide-agent launch was not validated.
- `session-02` child-session agent: `019ef7ca-413a-7662-9633-7fb126b7ef35`.
- `session-02` result for `s21`: runtime fallback required; no `Agent S-21` id; no prompt/image/return written.
- `session-03` child thread: `019ef7d2-1a7f-7a90-8c04-0098239dfe0f`; completed thread-level child mechanism test for `s21-v3`.
- `session-03` slide-agent thread: `019ef7d6-3ff6-7213-b68c-fd646e39f1d2`; generated `s21-v3` and returned successfully.
- `session-03` continuation handoff: `session-03/child-session-continuation-s14-s25-handoff.md`; records `Agent S-14` `019ef803-95d7-7411-8d3c-c7f2f68a32e7` and `Agent S-25` `019ef803-e757-7041-8f4a-fc9dfce23bbd`.
- Parent-observed duplicate worker: `Agent S-14` `019ef803-328a-7e40-a0b0-0333c6b5fc6c`; duplicate launch/provenance defect for `s14-v2`.

## Slide Status Summary

| Slide | Status | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `s05` | generated / local review complete, with overwrite defect recorded | `s05-v1-image.png` now points to the reference-capable rerun. Earlier broad-run `v1` candidate was overwritten during the defective workflow. Do not repeat this pattern. |
| `s21` | generated / user accepted | `session-02` remains fallback evidence only. Codex thread-level child `019ef7d2-1a7f-7a90-8c04-0098239dfe0f` resolved `s21-v3`, started separate `Agent S-21` thread `019ef7d6-3ff6-7213-b68c-fd646e39f1d2`, wrote prompt/image/return, and correctly suppressed review. User accepted the image. |
| `s14` | accepted / mechanism defect | `s14-v2` prompt/image/return exist, no review file. Prompt records `gpt-image-2` Advisor, visible character refs, and style B. User accepted the image. Mechanism is not clean: duplicate `Agent S-14` threads `019ef803-95d7-7411-8d3c-c7f2f68a32e7` and `019ef803-328a-7e40-a0b0-0333c6b5fc6c` targeted the same v2 files; return/image source belongs to the duplicate thread folder while child handoff records the other S-14 id. |
| `s25` | accepted | `s25-v2` prompt/image/return exist from `Agent S-25` `019ef803-e757-7041-8f4a-fc9dfce23bbd`, no review file. Prompt records `gpt-image-2` Advisor, visible character refs, and style A adapted for dust/detail. User accepted the image. |
| `s33` | not in current reset scope | Keep as later character-consistency candidate. |

## Open Decisions

- Workflow fix decision for duplicate worker prevention: one slide/version must have exactly one owning slide-agent and must reserve/write prompt/image/return targets atomically enough to prevent concurrent same-version workers.
- Project task allocation rule for the next identity-heavy character-consistency runs: assign at most 2 visible-character slides per child session, even though the generic workflow docs still allow up to 3.
- Future child-session launch rule: use user-visible Codex child/session threads for brief/orchestration work and record the child session id; inside that child session, use internal SubAgent / one-shot slide workers for each slide and record only the returned worker evidence available to the child/main.
