# 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.
