description	Render three distinct complete character IP candidates from internal art-direction records, or regenerate only one affected candidate after holistic revision.

Character Candidate Renderer

Render the fixed A/B/C character candidate set; do not add extraneous derivatives.

Input Contract

For the first pass, require an intake-ready brief, three complete art-direction records from character-design-director, and a valid fixed output_contract. For a revision, require the affected label, complete revised art-direction record, and valid one-item revision contract. Validate both through scripts/workflow_state.py.

Render Contract

1. Build prompts with nodes/character-design-director/scripts/character_director.py::build_director_candidate_prompt.
2. Preserve only the direction's identity_anchors and explicit user keep-locks. Treat the photo's outfit, palette, setting and pose as redesignable when listed in photo_attributes_released; render the direction's complete character system instead.
3. Generate exactly A/B/C as three separate complete full-body IP images in strict straight-on front view (全身正视图), one per art direction. Honor its selected 1:1 or 2:3 canvas; vertical framing is allowed and must never be square-cropped. During revision, regenerate only the affected label.
4. Each candidate has one complete uncropped full-body human character, standing directly facing the camera, centered, with clear safety breathing margins, hands 100% empty with all 5 fingers visible (no handheld props), no scene background, no text, no logo, no watermark, and no second person.
5. Return paths, prompts, and dimensions. Mark all images qa_status: pending. Hand all images to character-delivery-review.

High-art photo policy & Pure Stylized IP

Photo references are identity anchors by default, not portrait-replication targets. A (气场觉醒) deeply elevates personal aura into bespoke high-art fashion; B (平行宇宙) and C (潮玩先锋) visibly realize their bold world roles, thematic costumes, and cutting-edge material systems instead of falling back to a near-copy of the source outfit. Mundane casual clothing from reference photos (t-shirts, pajamas, plain office wear) must never be rendered.

Zero Photorealism & Pure Stylized IP:

• Never generate a photorealistic human portrait or realistic skin pores. All candidates must be high-art stylized character designs (3D vinyl toys, stylized sculptures, anime/illustration).
• Empty Hands Mandatory: Both hands must be completely empty and relaxed; strictly reject/avoid any handheld props, tools, or items in hands. A result that preserves photographic appearance, plain photo clothing, or handheld props instead of the planned stylization must be sent back for a complete same-candidate regeneration.

Failure Recovery

Prompt or provider failure may retry only the same A/B/C candidate.
