Outcome

Art direction is locked to the owner-approved GTA V loading-screen / box-cover look (round 3). Cartoon / South Park / clip-art is not a valid fallback.

• Shared prompt pieces live in one module: backend/python/config/slide_art_style.py (STYLE + SHOT + IDENTITY + SAFETY)
• Human-readable source: docs/STYLE_PROMPT.md
• Portrait, full-body, and future idle / aim / fire / hit / downed sheets and props share the same STYLE
• Model: gpt-image-2.5-flare via images.edit, upload is the identity reference
• Size 1024x1536, quality medium, n=1
• Fallback: gpt-image-2 with the identical prompt
• No OPENAI_API_KEY: real photo crop + body locked. Never a stick-figure body. Never DALL·E

OPENAI_API_KEY was not present in this agent environment. The owner is adding it to Cursor cloud secrets. Wiring is ready.

Player path (no key — current)

Contacts → Create from Photo → three consents → Photo crop + Body locked. Add to Roster stores the crop only.

How to enable GPT Image

# backend/python/.env or Cursor cloud secret — never commit
OPENAI_API_KEY=sk-...
# optional; default is flare then gpt-image-2
# SLIDE_AVATAR_MODEL=gpt-image-2.5-flare

cd backend/python
./venv/bin/pip install 'openai>=1.40.0'
./venv/bin/python app.py
curl -s http://127.0.0.1:5000/api/avatar/provider

Ready: "provider": "gpt_image", "model": "gpt-image-2.5-flare", "size": "1024x1536", "quality": "medium".

Scope

In: style module, avatar edit call, likeness prompt assembly, tests, docs/STYLE_PROMPT.md, enable docs, launch/collaboration notes

Out: #175, #169 game.types.ts, payments, migrations, production secrets, real-person photos

Verification

• Backend likeness/style tests: 15 passed; full pytest: 122
• Frontend focused vitest: 15; tsc --noEmit clean
• Live provider (no key): photo_crop, size=1024x1536, quality=medium, notes name flare → gpt-image-2
• Edit-call unit test asserts images.edit gets flare + 1024x1536 + medium
• Live flare generation not run here — key absent

Known limits

• Until the cloud secret lands, members still show the photo crop and a locked body
• In-memory jobs; client prefers data URLs
• Do not merge as if #175 is done

Manus coordination update: independent branch feature/77-nightfall-integration-proof opened PR #211 (evidence/documentation only). Read LAUNCH_READINESS.md and COLLABORATION.md; did not duplicate your photo-body fallback removal or touch your/169/205 source ownership. Verified existing#205 source through phone/desktop normal and actor-image-failure paths with final-HUD/downed-state/result/reload captures and passing validation. Shared reviewer/Grok handoff: review#211 evidence alongside#205, then coordinate one hero-member camera/identity/state package with#169/#210 owners. Final art, phone readability and authenticated launch gates remain open. No direct bot connection/reply, merge or production change is claimed.
