Found the current cosmos clip was already the uncropped text-free SVS + 30957 Orion (the crop damage the prompt described was already fixed at HEAD). + Researched NASA SVS: (a) the same Orion clip exists in 4K; (b) the Webb + **"Cosmic Cliffs"** Carina flythrough (SVS 31348) is a 4K PD alternative. + Offered three options; **operator chose #2 — switch to Cosmic Cliffs.** + +2. **Cosmos swap (PR #21).** Downloaded the Carina 4K master + (`Clifs-3d-STScI.mp4`, 3840×2160, 60 fps, 103 s), sampled frames to find a + clean window, trimmed **10–34 s** (clears the title card ~8 s and the + end-credit card ~102 s), ran `tools.pipeline.run.process_clip` → 4K master + + supersampled 1080p base (5.5 Mbps, crisper than the old 2.9 Mbps Orion encode). + Updated `build_pool_manifest.py` META (new `CCBY_WEBB` credit, Carina labels: + emission nebula / protostar, redshift→distance ≈7,500 ly), regenerated + `manifest.json` (also corrected stale JPL-Orion provenance) + all ring-edge + transitions, and `docs/content-candidate-pool.md`. Operator authorized the + merge → opened + merged **PR #21** (the whole `feature/ring-transitions-real` + line), synced main, deleted the local branch. Remote branch delete returned + HTTP 405 (known Gitea perm limit). + +3. **"Still seeing Orion" — caching (PRs #22, #23).** Diagnosed: the sim server + (PID 33672) had been running since before the media swap and was launched + **without `--reload`**, holding the pre-swap manifest in memory; the browser + also held the old clip via the in-memory blob preload and a possible pre- + `no-cache` immutable HTTP entry. Restarted the server with `make sim-local` + (`--reload`). Shipped **PR #22** (`cache: "reload"` on the preload fetch), then + — at operator request for a permanent fix — **PR #23**: a content-hash + `GET /api/media-versions` endpoint (sha1[:12] per served file, cached by + mtime/size) and client `?v=` on every /media URL, so a re-baked clip's + URL changes with its bytes. + +4. **Coast landing artifact (in PR #23).** Operator noticed zooming into coast + showed birdrock then switched to another clip. Root cause: the baked ring + transition lands on the scale **primary** (birdrock), but the rotating pool + picks a **random member** on landing — a non-primary pick hard-cut from primary + to chosen. Fix: `advance()` masks the swap behind a short fade through the + existing `#black` overlay when `target_clip_id !== ring.scales[to_index].clip_id`; + general across all pooled scales. + +5. **Right-brain affect (PR #24).** Operator: emotions should be controlled by the + right brain, not the left. Reversed `affect.strength = min(left, right)` → + `strength = right`; intensity keyed off Right; Left no longer gates emotions. + Updated engine + client comments + the affect design spec (revision note) + + tests. Live-verified: left=0/right=4 → strength 4; left=4/right=0 → 0. + +## Cut state + +- **`main` @ (session-0018 merges all landed):** PRs **#21** (`7da7446`), **#22** + (`aa56dfe`), **#23** (`5bb762a`), **#24** (`d0ad9a9`) — all confirmed in main's + ancestry. Session 0019 has since advanced main further (cosmos_miri pool member, + networked-control-surface spec, sim-local venv fix). +- **Tests:** 271 passed, 2 skipped (+ media-version tests + rewritten affect + tests). +- **Sim:** running on :8000 as `uvicorn --reload` (PID 50199, restarted this + session). The cosmos Cosmic Cliffs clip, content-hash cache-bust, coast fade, + and Right-only affect are all live and API/logic-verified. +- **No plan artifact** archived — leaf content/polish task executed directly + (no `superpowers:writing-plans` doc). + +## Operator plate + +- **Cosmic Cliffs looks "incredible"** (operator) — the cosmos primary is now the + Webb Carina flythrough. +- **Unverified by eye** (no Chrome on the box): the coast landing fade timing, and + the Right-only affect look (Left=0 + Right up should show emotion words over an + un-annotated scene). Worth a by-eye pass in `make sim-local`. +- **Pipeline §9:** changes merged to `main` (= done); no PPE/prod run — the E2E + + PPE machinery is still being built (§10.6), and the simulator is a local dev + surface. Not shipped to prod. +- **Left untouched (not this session's work):** session 0019's in-flight audio + work is dirty in the tree (`docs/audio-candidate-pool.md`, `.gitignore` audio + entries) — left for 0019 to finalize.
