# On The Road Workflow Continuation Handoff
|
|
|
|
## Status
|
|
|
|
- Date: 2026-06-24.
|
|
- Project: `projects/2026-06-23-在路上`.
|
|
- Current branch: `master`.
|
|
- Purpose: continuation handoff after style / character cleanup and the S14 reference-capable generation investigation.
|
|
- This document supersedes the open questions in `handoff/2026-06-24-on-the-road-style-reference-handoff.md` where those questions have since been answered.
|
|
|
|
Current context package:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
handoff/2026-06-24-on-the-road-workflow-continuation-context/review-context.md
|
|
handoff/2026-06-24-on-the-road-workflow-continuation-context/review-file-manifest.json
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Compression Self-Check
|
|
|
|
Because the working session was compressed, do not rely on chat continuity for exact state.
|
|
|
|
What is safely recoverable from files:
|
|
|
|
- current workspace rules in `AGENTS.md` and `VIDEO_WORKBENCH.md`;
|
|
- project control state in `project.md`, `execution-plan.md`, `visual-system/visual-system.md`, `slides/slides.md`, and `slides/broad-generation-self-audit-v1.md`;
|
|
- active character references in `visual-system/characters/character-reference-registry.md`;
|
|
- active style rules in `visual-system/style/style-prompt-master.md`;
|
|
- the S14 reference-capable generation investigation and generated test images under `investigations/2026-06-24-s14-reference-capable-generation/`;
|
|
- the user decision recorded in `investigations/2026-06-24-s14-reference-capable-generation/reviews/summary-and-rule-implications.md`.
|
|
|
|
What is not reliable after compression unless it was written to disk:
|
|
|
|
- exact intermediate chat wording around image judging;
|
|
- transient host image-generation internal IDs or default output locations;
|
|
- any unrecorded tool output from the compressed portion of the session;
|
|
- subjective visual impressions not captured in the review files or the user decision.
|
|
|
|
Practical consequence:
|
|
|
|
- Treat the files listed in this handoff and its context package as the continuation basis.
|
|
- Do not reconstruct workflow decisions from memory if a local file gives the current rule.
|
|
|
|
## Must Read First
|
|
|
|
Read these in order in a new session:
|
|
|
|
1. `AGENTS.md`
|
|
- UTF-8 rules.
|
|
- `gpt-image-2` Skill rule.
|
|
- current default host `image_gen` reference-by-visible-context path.
|
|
2. `VIDEO_WORKBENCH.md`
|
|
- project layout, `slides/sNN/sNN-vN-type.ext` naming, asset policy, and reference-capable image generation rule.
|
|
3. `projects/2026-06-23-在路上/project.md`
|
|
- project-local status and high-level state.
|
|
4. `projects/2026-06-23-在路上/execution-plan.md`
|
|
- still contains some pre-S14-investigation wording; read it as current project control plus stale open decisions that need cleanup.
|
|
5. `projects/2026-06-23-在路上/visual-system/visual-system.md`
|
|
- accepted visual system, A/B/C/D definitions, and style / character system.
|
|
6. `projects/2026-06-23-在路上/visual-system/characters/character-reference-registry.md`
|
|
- active character references and selection rules.
|
|
7. `projects/2026-06-23-在路上/visual-system/style/style-prompt-master.md`
|
|
- active style modules, active style references, per-shot prompt requirements, and broad-generation repair rule.
|
|
8. `projects/2026-06-23-在路上/intake/阶段五-人物一致性单镜.md`
|
|
- five-shot character-consistency test skeleton for `s05`, `s21`, `s14`, `s25`, `s33`.
|
|
9. `investigations/2026-06-24-s14-reference-capable-generation/reviews/summary-and-rule-implications.md`
|
|
- current reference-capable generation conclusion and user decision.
|
|
10. `projects/2026-06-23-在路上/slides/broad-generation-self-audit-v1.md`
|
|
- why broad generation is paused and what must be repaired.
|
|
|
|
## Current User Decisions
|
|
|
|
### Reference-Capable Generation
|
|
|
|
Use this path now and in future Video Workbench image generation:
|
|
|
|
1. Generate prompt/spec through `gpt-image-2` Skill Advisor workflow.
|
|
2. Load the real reference image into the conversation context before generation.
|
|
3. Generate with host `image_gen`, naming the loaded image role in the prompt, such as `Image 1: identity reference`.
|
|
|
|
Do not use API/Garden for normal Video Workbench image generation unless the user explicitly changes the policy.
|
|
|
|
Do not reopen "can references work" for ordinary work. Reopen only if the host image tool is unavailable, the image cannot be loaded into context, or the user changes the policy.
|
|
|
|
### Character Reference Selection
|
|
|
|
Current default:
|
|
|
|
| Shot need | Reference choice |
|
|
| --- | --- |
|
|
| Near / face / half-profile / expression / identity-heavy | matching crop first |
|
|
| Distant / landscape-led / aerial / low identity burden | full character anchor board or project-approved distant reference first |
|
|
| Medium action / back / walking / prop continuity | matching crop, transparent slice, or anchor board by visible direction |
|
|
| Future high-identity close-up-heavy project | consider generating higher-resolution crops through image-to-image from the accepted anchor board before production |
|
|
|
|
For `在路上`, most shots are landscape-led, distant, or aerial. The current crop set was cut from the accepted character anchor board and made transparent; this is enough by default for consistency rather than high-fidelity portrait likeness.
|
|
|
|
### Style Reference Selection
|
|
|
|
The common style phase has been cleaned and centralized into:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
projects/2026-06-23-在路上/visual-system/style/style-prompt-master.md
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Active style directory now contains:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
style-anchor-board-v1.png
|
|
style-anchor-c-repair-v1.png
|
|
style-prompt-master.md
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Process files are under:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
projects/2026-06-23-在路上/archive/style/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Do not continue creating common style briefs, board specs, trial plans, HTML board sources, or contactsheets by default. Move to per-shot execution.
|
|
|
|
## Completed Since Previous Handoff
|
|
|
|
- Character directory cleaned.
|
|
- Active character references remain in `visual-system/characters/`.
|
|
- Historical/process files are under `archive/characters/`.
|
|
- `character-reference-registry.md` is the active reference registry.
|
|
- Style directory cleaned.
|
|
- `style-prompt-master.md` exists and is active.
|
|
- Active style assets are only the common style board and repaired C sample.
|
|
- Historical/process files are under `archive/style/`.
|
|
- Added character-consistency single-shot skeleton:
|
|
- `projects/2026-06-23-在路上/intake/阶段五-人物一致性单镜.md`.
|
|
- Completed S14 reference-capable investigation:
|
|
- `investigations/2026-06-24-s14-reference-capable-generation/`.
|
|
- Generated outputs:
|
|
- `outputs/s14-anchor-board-reference-v1.png`
|
|
- `outputs/s14-side-crop-reference-v1.png`
|
|
- User decision recorded in `reviews/summary-and-rule-implications.md`.
|
|
- Promoted the reference-capable generation rule into:
|
|
- `AGENTS.md`
|
|
- `VIDEO_WORKBENCH.md`
|
|
|
|
## Important Stale Wording To Handle
|
|
|
|
Some older project files still predate the S14 investigation.
|
|
|
|
Examples:
|
|
|
|
- `execution-plan.md` still says the next decision is how to repair broad-generation reference handling.
|
|
- `visual-system/visual-system.md` still says the next action is deciding lightweight broad-production flow.
|
|
- `character-identity-lock.md` still says later scene prompts have not proven identity preservation.
|
|
|
|
Interpretation:
|
|
|
|
- These are not blockers for reference-capable feasibility anymore.
|
|
- They are cues for the next workflow-cleanup pass: update project control files so they point to the new reference-capable rule and the remaining per-shot workflow work.
|
|
|
|
## Current Working Tree Caveat
|
|
|
|
At the time this handoff was written, there are uncommitted changes from the reference-capable investigation/rule promotion work:
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
AGENTS.md
|
|
VIDEO_WORKBENCH.md
|
|
investigations/README.md
|
|
investigations/2026-06-24-s14-reference-capable-generation/
|
|
handoff/2026-06-24-on-the-road-workflow-continuation-handoff.md
|
|
handoff/2026-06-24-on-the-road-workflow-continuation-context/
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Do not assume these are committed until `git status --short` is checked.
|
|
|
|
## Next Recommended Work
|
|
|
|
The next session should optimize workflow, not restart image-reference research.
|
|
|
|
Recommended order:
|
|
|
|
1. Align stale control docs.
|
|
- Update `project.md`, `execution-plan.md`, and possibly `visual-system/visual-system.md` so they reflect:
|
|
- S14 reference-capable path is decided;
|
|
- common style phase is closed;
|
|
- remaining problem is per-shot production workflow and traceability.
|
|
2. Define the repaired per-shot production unit.
|
|
- Minimum likely files:
|
|
- `slides/sNN/sNN-vN-brief.md`
|
|
- `slides/sNN/sNN-vN-prompt.md`
|
|
- `slides/sNN/sNN-vN-image.png`
|
|
- `slides/sNN/sNN-vN-review.md` only when review is actually needed.
|
|
- Each prompt must include:
|
|
- style module;
|
|
- active style reference path(s);
|
|
- character reference path(s) or `none` with reason;
|
|
- reference roles;
|
|
- generation path note;
|
|
- output path.
|
|
3. Decide how to mark old broad-run images.
|
|
- `s05`, `s14`, `s21`, `s25`, and `s33` already have broad-run images, but those came from the flawed text-only broad run.
|
|
- Do not treat them as accepted finals.
|
|
- Decide whether to keep them as rejected candidates, replace them, or use them only as comparison examples.
|
|
4. Use the five-shot character-consistency skeleton as a workflow stress test if generation resumes.
|
|
- Recommended order from the intake file:
|
|
- `S-05 -> S-21 -> S-14 -> S-25 -> S-33`.
|
|
- Purpose now:
|
|
- validate per-shot traceability and reference selection under the decided path;
|
|
- not prove again that image references can work.
|
|
5. Only after the repaired workflow is tested, resume wider shot production.
|
|
|
|
## Do Not Do Next
|
|
|
|
- Do not continue broad generation from `s35`.
|
|
- Do not treat broad-run generated images as accepted finals.
|
|
- Do not redo API/Garden research for normal work.
|
|
- Do not ask whether reference images can work unless the host image tool or reference loading fails.
|
|
- Do not use archived character/style files as default references.
|
|
- Do not generate identity-critical shots from text-only character descriptions.
|
|
- Do not ask GPT V2 for final prompts; Codex owns final prompt construction through the `gpt-image-2` Skill workflow.
|
|
- Do not turn the project into a heavy governance/audit workspace; keep workflow records lightweight and execution-facing.
