Summary

  • replace one-shot comic generation with a typed writers-room loop that builds briefs, generates and ranks premises, and selects distinct mechanisms for A/B variants
  • evaluate scripts for surprise, specificity, compression, visuality, character voice, and archive novelty, with a bounded rewrite and TRIZ inversion pass
  • retain briefs, premise rankings, editorial decisions, and rewrite counts as reproducible R2 artifacts
  • add deterministic screenText rendering for dashboards, logs, eval files, alerts, and approval screens
  • disable production generation-on-read and refresh the local bootstrap comics to demonstrate the new composition
  • document the nested control loops and add focused generator, loop, renderer, and API contract coverage

Why

The previous pipeline selected a broad topic randomly, generated two scripts directly, and rendered them without a comedy-specific quality gate or feedback path. It also mandated the same robot-thought and deadpan-closer rhythm, producing structurally repetitive strips.

This change turns generation into bounded, inspectable feedback loops. Weak drafts receive targeted correction, repeated jokes are penalized against editorial memory, and the renderer can display the exact technical evidence that carries a visual payoff.

Impact

  • /api/today, voting, archive, and existing comic response shapes remain compatible.
  • Authenticated generation responses now expose the structured brief, selected premises, and final evaluations.
  • Production serves the latest completed comic instead of generating synchronously during a reader request.
  • Local development retains deterministic bootstrap generation through just dev.

Validation

  • just test: 9 loop/generator/renderer tests and existing API contracts passed
  • just build: Vue type-check and Vite production build passed
  • ./scripts/smoke-local.sh: D1 initialization, Pages Worker startup, /api/today, SVG streaming, vote upsert, archive, and push-default checks passed
  • git diff --check: passed

Remaining Validation

Production Workers AI inference was not invoked locally. An authenticated AI-enabled staging generation should be reviewed before merging for model-specific output quality and latency.
