Grok Build Handoff — SynNA Publish Pipeline

Grok Build Handoff — SynNA Publish Pipeline

IN Lattice · Intelligent Netware · MA5 Council

Partnership model

Daniel is phasing out Claude as the day-to-day build partner. Grok Build is primary — direct project access, runs syn_pipeline.py / app.py, edits index.html, Cursor integration incoming.

New thread opener: Read this file first, then build the next item in Pathway forward only.

Executive summary

The SynNA pipeline watcher is working end-to-end through Gate 1 image selection:

`` promote inbox → packet (drafted) → xAI n=4 → masters_pending (4 candidates in modal) → user picks master → divider + 4 crops → images_pending (6 files) → assemble → [NEXT] sql_ready → publish ``

Gate 1 UX (shipped): Picasso chat + 2×2 modal in the Chat UI. User picks a master, or Regen all 4 (same prompt), or More like #N (Picasso refines text prompt → new panel). Crops run only after Use this.

Verified live by Daniel and Angelina (2026-06-18). Backups taken.

What exists (do not regress)

Key files

State machine (image stages)

Regen sets drafted (not regen_requested). Clears candidates, images metadata, reruns panel.

Candidate + final image files

Before pick (masters_pending):

After pick (images_pending) — six files:

status.yaml → candidates[], master_choice, panel_generated; after pick images.{key} each has file, w, h, bytes.

Observed live master: 2912×1456 (2k / 2:1). Divider height derived at runtime.

Agent workflow (chat-first, not kanban)

`` Dachs → Forrest → Arnie → promote → packet (drafted) → panel of 4 (masters_pending) → modal pick → six images (images_pending) → Picasso (regen, learn, more-like) → assemble → [NEXT] sql_ready → publish ``

Picasso Gate 1: open with Gate 1 — {slug} + scotoma. Sidebar Gate 1 — Images card also opens the modal.

Chat UI — Picasso composer

Gate 1 modal buttons

API

routes (Gate 1 — shipped)

Chat UI composer buttons (all agents)

Divergences from SynNA Build Spec v1.0 (2026-06-09)

Pathway forward (ordered backlog)

NOW

— SQL build (2.6) ← NEXT BUILD

• Arnie_DB_Insert_v2.sql scaffold fill
• Four crop byte sizes + categories/badge from Forrest brief
• N'...' escaping + round-trip test; uncommitted transaction for SSMS
• state: sql_ready

Then — Publish (3.1)

• SFTP (paramiko): four crops + divider (URL resolve; divider has no DB row)
• HTTPS HEAD verify byte sizes
• Manual SSMS commit → published, packet archive

Later

Shipped milestones (reference)

1.4 — Master rename + section divider (2026-06-17)

• {slug}_master.jpg, {slug}_1920x960.jpg divider, enriched status.yaml
• --test-crops passes

2.5 — Assemble (2026-06-18)

• syn_assemble.py + syn_assemble_template.html
• article.md → assembled.html + preview.html
• Divider <img> uses status.images.divider.file + assemble.image_url_base (never hardcoded _1920x960)
• [Portal:Keywords] literal preservation (--test-assemble)
• preview.html links live Tahoe CSS (syn.scotomaville.com skin)
• Watcher: images_approved → assemble; state → assembled
• Live packet what-outlives-me verified

Gate 1 panel-of-4 (2026-06-17, verified 2026-06-18)

• image_gen.panel_count: 4, xAI n parameter
• States: drafted → masters_pending → images_pending
• finalize_master_selection() + CLI --select slug:index
• Modal 2×2, regen, more-like
• Daniel + Angelina sign-off; backups taken

Verification commands

```bash cd D:\04_WORK\Code\Lattice\_ChatUI\.Scripts python syn_pipeline.py --test-crops python syn_pipeline.py --test-parser python syn_pipeline.py --test-assemble python syn_pipeline.py --packet {slug}

state: drafted → masters_pending

python syn_pipeline.py --select {slug}:{1-4}

masters_pending → images_pending

python syn_pipeline.py --assemble {slug}

images_pending/approved → assembled

```

Gate 2 preview: http://127.0.0.1:8780/api/pipeline/{slug}/preview (after assemble)

Server: http://127.0.0.1:8780

Restart app.py after backend changes. If port in use:

``powershell netstat -ano | findstr :8780 taskkill /PID <pid> /F python app.py ``

Hard-refresh UI (Ctrl+Shift+R) after index.html changes.

Live packet: D:\03_MAP\Syn_Pipeline\what-outlives-me\

Reference specs (historical)

When older specs and this handoff disagree, this handoff + the filesystem win.

Session continuity for Grok

1. Read this file
2. git status / tail syn_pipeline.log if debugging
3. Read target packet status.yaml
4. Build one backlog item — no drive-by refactors
5. Update this handoff when a milestone ships

Updated by Grok Build · 2026-06-18 · 2.5 assemble shipped.
