gemini-3-pro-image is Google's strongest image model; IMAGE_GEN_MODEL still overrides for the cheaper flash tier.

Ban hex codes from image prompts to stop Nano Banana swatch strips, require crisp deep focus and set-dressed surfaces inside close product-world scenes, and add wordless and real-estate inspection retries. The Gemini wrapper now converts JPEG bytes to PNG and infers AQ.-prefixed keys.

Ship image-gen.mjs with bfl and gemini backends plus custom delegation, document the keyless flow in image-api.md, and tighten seed Step 4 so missing keys ask once and opt-out falls back to text-only seeding. Compile now removes in-folder hero intermediates so each cue keeps one PNG.

Each specialist now generates one hero image instead of a second chroma-key sheet, and the compile step replaces crop with a simpler cues.json shape.
AI-assisted commit.

Drop the two-pass matte pipeline in favor of one chroma-key sheet per
cue: each specialist picks the farthest-hue key, stages larger artifacts
with shadowless crisp edges, reports CHROMA in its reply, and crop records
the hex in cues.json for browser keying downstream.

Artifact crops now ship with real alpha: each sheet is generated twice
(cream, then black via image edit) and fused by a new difference-matting
command, sidestepping models' inability to emit alpha and the chroma
key's spill. Crop and matte reject non-square inputs so squareness must
come from the generation call's 1:1 parameter, and the hero prompt now
demands bright, generous light so palettes stay sampleable.

A live run shipped one hero under three slugs: parallel subagents all
wrote the generation tool's output as a generic hero.png in the shared
project assets folder, then copied and referenced each other's files.
Spawn tasks now require slug-based output filenames, using only the
tool-reported path, a verify-your-own-files check before reporting, and
the parent hashes all heroes before cropping and re-spawns duplicates.

Live cues rendered the good colors as slivers: the hero prompt asked for
an atmospheric scene with a 60% neutral ground and a small accent. The
skeleton now frames tight on the subject and stages each color as a
large unbroken field (neutral about half, primary a continuous third,
tertiary small but legible), with the rationale in the fill rules.

Investigation of a live run showed five of six palettes converging on the
brief's deep-teal anchor: territories were scenic but hue-silent, and the
anchor reached every spawn unscoped. Territories now must close on a hue
ground (no two in one family), the anchor is owned by exactly one
territory with everyone else told to leave it, spawn tasks may not be
compressed, and each subagent critiques its palette and concept against
the rules before generating.

Name the common spawn tools, require all six spawns in a single message,
and call out spawn-await-spawn as the serial-loop failure it is. The
no-subagent fallback now runs all six personas instead of four, so the
user gets six cues on every path.

Drop the sequential palette chain: the parent carves six visual,
emotional, or strategic territories from the brief, then all six
personas spawn in one parallel batch, each composing inside its own
territory and generating both images in the same task.

Personas now compose sequentially, each shown the color territories the
earlier personas claimed, replacing the similarity script and peer
critique as the uniqueness mechanism. Generation moves to a parallel wave
of dedicated image-prompt specialists that stage the finished palettes.

Drop the six-way critique wave from the visual-cues studio: after the
compose wave, the OKLab similarity script loops with revision waves for
flagged personas only (capped at three) until every verdict is clear,
then the generation wave stages the settled palettes.

Drop the parallel "round" vocabulary from the visual-cues studio so one
counting system covers the three spawn waves; the subagent template calls

Replace the single-mind palette composition in the visual-cues pipeline
with a three-wave studio: six persona specialists compose in parallel, a
new OKLab similarity command plus peer critiques build each persona's
scorecard, then each revises and generates its hero and artifact sheet.

Document seed mode's palette pick used to ask the user to imagine colors
from words. Add a visual-cues pipeline: compose four-hex palettes from the
brief (mood, references, PRODUCT.md), generate a hero scene plus a cream
artifact sheet per concept, crop the sheet into isolated artifacts, and
write cues.json so the user can pick a direction by eye.

A stored IMAGE_GEN_API_KEY in .impeccable/.env now counts as image generation being available for shape probes and the craft codex flow. The key ask itself stays exclusive to document seed mode; shape and craft still never prompt for APIs or tooling.

Seed questions now avoid skill vocabulary (mirroring init.md's magazine-editor line), and a new step offers 2-4 generated palette cue images: native image_gen when the harness has it, otherwise an opt-in IMAGE_GEN_API_KEY in gitignored .impeccable/.env.

Closes the residual page-inference edge (no recorded artifact, no index.html, several root HTML files) by making the conservative refusal self-correcting instead of adding more inference; the gate never falsely passes in that configuration, only asks for the page.
AI-assisted (Claude Code).
Greptile's fourth finding on the seam: the no-artifact path was depth-limited. The page default (index.html, or the one .html at the root) now applies before unreferencedPlates, so the link-following path, which is exact and unbounded, handles every build that has a page; the bounded walk is only the no-page fallback.
AI-assisted (Claude Code).
Bugbot on #599: path.resolve treated /assets/hero.css as filesystem-absolute. Both the working directory and the artifact's directory are tried; unreadable candidates skip.
AI-assisted (Claude Code).
Greptile's third P1 on the same seam: a stylesheet linked from the artifact but outside the bounded walk's root, depth, or file limit was still invisible. The hrefs the artifact itself declares are resolved against its directory and joined to the corpus, which closes every variant.
AI-assisted (Claude Code).
Greptile's follow-up P1 on #599: with --artifact set, only that HTML file was read, so a plate referenced exclusively from a linked stylesheet still read as unused. The bounded source walk now runs either way.
AI-assisted (Claude Code).
Greptile P1 on #599: unreferencedPlates read a plate referenced only from assets/hero.css as unused and the hero gate refused a valid build. The extension filter already keeps binaries out of the walk.

- keyChroma re-encodes with the PNG's tEXt chunks intact (the embedded prompt survived generation but not keying)
- organic-clip-path counts relative curve commands too (path data letters are only commands, so the match is case-insensitive)
- buried-raster normalizes percentage alphas (parseFloat('80%') read as 80) and reads 4- and 8-digit hex alpha instead of treating #rrggbbaa as opaque
- the extension-injected-node skip in checkQuality runs before any finding is pushed (a low-opacity injected raster was recorded, then returned by the skip)
- fake-mode plates carry impeccable:fake tEXt and the plates gate's crop-identity refusal skips them (fake mode IS the crop by design; the refusal is for models shipping the comp's pixels as artwork)
Findings by cursor[bot] and Copilot on PR #599; detector engines rebuilt (build:browser, build:extension).

CI resolves playwright but has no downloaded chromium; launch threw instead of falling back to the catalog ranking, and every spec gate downstream failed. Launch failures now return the no-browser path (and the browser test skips instead of asserting).

Paul's decision on the tenth sweep's design question: hard vetoes (missing region, contradicted plate or text, SVG illustration, clipped plate, invented ink) stay unconditional; at overall >= HERO_MIN the numeric readings (ink colour, letter-spacing, line pitch, strip heights, box positions) print as advisories with the pass and belong to the polish pass. Every sweep-10 sample closes its hero under this condition, which settles 07 without another paid round.
Ninth-sweep defects: codeDrawn / container / bleed now persist into spec.json with WARN lines (an overridden refusal used to vanish from the record); font-match probes os.tmpdir() and points TMPDIR at .impeccable/tmp when the sandbox /tmp is unwritable (every ninth-sweep rank silently fell back to the catalog).

serve-question answered POST /build-path with 200 and only then wrote the
flip file. The caller is a separate process, so the response could reach it
while the server was still preempted before the write landed: a poller that
trusted the 200 could look for the flip file and miss it.
Measured on a loaded machine, the old order lost that race 29 times out of
40; writing first and answering after loses it 0 times out of 40. This is
what made tests/serve-question.test.mjs fail intermittently in CI on the
Node 22 job while passing on Node 24.

Read waiver config from every live root (appRoot, contextRoot, repoRoot),
so monorepo projects whose config lives at the repo root reach the
overlay; serialize served roots and page identities repo-relative there.
Resolve each page URL to its actual serving file via the inject config's
resolved page list before applying file-scoped waivers; ambiguous URLs
keep the conservative common-ancestor fallback (PR #645 review
discussion r3840011436).
Honour detector.ignoreFiles: a wholly waived page now scans to zero
findings in the overlay, matching the CLI and the edit hook.
Guard the resolver call so a throwing resolver degrades to an unfiltered
scan instead of breaking the detect toggle.
Match design-system-color waivers by color value across hex and rgb()
spellings, and stop extracting font values for bounce-easing findings,
mirroring extractFindingIgnoreValue. Regenerate the browser bundle.

- The per-project state dir key is now the readable separator-mapped
slug plus an 8-hex sha256 of the resolved project path. The readable
part alone is lossy (/x/my.app and /x/my-app both mapped to -x-my-app
and shared hook state); the digest keeps distinct projects' cache and
pending state apart while the dir name stays human-scannable.
- Tilde roots now expand via os.homedir() instead of HOME/USERPROFILE
with a '.' fallback. When no home dir can be determined, expansion is
rejected and state falls back to the project-local default rather
than anchoring under the hook process's working directory.
- Tests updated to the digest-suffixed slug via a mirrored slugFor()
helper, plus two new cases: colliding readable slugs get distinct
state dirs, and the tilde form resolves identically to the explicit
homedir-joined form.
Prepared with AI assistance (Claude Code) under direction of
0xDarkMatter, per the maintainer-approved issue #422.
