- README 'Watch It Happen' section with four staged screenshots (fictional
demo productions, generated placeholder art — no private project content)
+ governance section notes enforced approval gates
- scripts/backlot_screenshot_stage.py: stages 4 demo projects in 4 pipeline
states against OPENMONTAGE_PROJECTS_DIR and captures the shots with
Playwright — reproducible README imagery
- lib/paths.py: OPENMONTAGE_PROJECTS_DIR env override (checkpoints, events,
and the board all follow one root); backlot/state.py now imports it
(was still defining its own copy — the exact drift the review warned of)
- undeclared-stage checkpoints (e.g. a legacy 'idea' run under a cinematic
manifest) now slot into their canonical rail position instead of dangling
after publish, drawn dashed + italic with an 'unlisted' note
Removed comfyui_music and its workflow. The ACE-Step model runs in
ComfyUI but the node class names differ across custom node packs
(AceStepModelLoader vs native TextEncodeAceStepAudio, etc.), so a
bundled workflow would break for most users.
Documented the reasoning in the plan doc and listed it as an open
question for future work. Users with ACE-Step working can still use
the workflow_json override on any tool.

Adds three new BaseTool providers that delegate GPU work to a running
ComfyUI server via its REST API. This avoids the need to install
PyTorch/diffusers directly, which is critical on hardware where the
ecosystem hasn't caught up (e.g. NVIDIA Blackwell / DGX Spark, aarch64
+ CUDA 13.0).
New files:
- tools/_comfyui/client.py — shared REST client (submit/poll/download)
- tools/_comfyui/workflows/ — 4 bundled workflow templates
- tools/graphics/comfyui_image.py — FLUX 2 Dev NVFP4 text-to-image
- tools/video/comfyui_video.py — WAN 2.2 14B t2v + i2v (4-step LightX2V)
- tools/audio/comfyui_music.py — ACE-Step 3.5B music generation
- tests/contracts/test_comfyui_tools.py — 41 contract tests
- docs/comfyui-adapter-plan.md — design document
Zero changes to existing tools, selectors, registry, or pipelines.
Tools are auto-discovered and selectors pick them up via capability match.

ARCHITECTURE.md said `npx @hyperframes/cli` but that scoped package
is a 404. The published npm package is `hyperframes`, consumed as
`npx hyperframes`. hyperframes_compose.py already documents this
distinction in its _NPM_PACKAGE constant and install_instructions.
Separates creative grammar (renderer_family) from technical engine
(render_runtime) so HyperFrames can stand alongside Remotion as a
first-class runtime instead of masquerading as a Remotion sub-case.
Locks runtime choice at proposal stage and enforces it end-to-end: the
schemas require it, video_compose routes by it, the reviewer fails
closed on silent swaps, and a parametrized contract test walks every
pipeline manifest to ensure each planning-stage skill explains the
conversation to the user. Adds hyperframes_compose (scaffold/lint/
validate/render/doctor/add_block), a playbook -> CSS style bridge, and
vendored HyperFrames Layer 3 skills from commit d291358, pinned via
PROVENANCE.md for future re-sync. Final_review now records
render_runtime_used and runtime_swap_detected so compose lies are
catchable after the fact.
End-tag now composited over final body footage (ProRes 4444 with alpha)
instead of concatenated as a black card. Updated idea-director,
edit-director, compose-director, and pipeline manifest with overlay-first
instructions. Default Google TTS voice changed from Neural2-D to
Chirp3-HD-Orus across tool code and docs.
- New: Higgsfield video provider with multi-model routing (Kling 3.0, Veo 3.1, Sora 2, WAN 2.5, Soul Cinema) and Soul ID character consistency
- Updated: Runway provider with gen4_aleph and gen3a_turbo models, proper pixel-ratio mapping, probe_output, watermark param, RUNWAYML_API_SECRET env var support
- Docs: Updated provider counts (12→13), tool counts (51→52), added Higgsfield setup/pricing sections across README, AGENT_GUIDE, ARCHITECTURE, and PROVIDERS
Remotion is the key fallback when no video gen APIs are configured —
the agent generates images and Remotion animates them into video.
Updated README Composition section and added full Remotion section
to PROVIDERS.md with component list and activation rules.
Two new provider tools following the BaseTool pattern with auto-discovery:
- google_imagen: Imagen 4 image generation via Generative Language REST API
- google_tts: Google Cloud TTS with 700+ voices across 50+ languages
Both share GOOGLE_API_KEY env var. Selectors auto-discover them — no
selector code changes needed. Docs and contract tests updated.
