"""The plan document: SEMANTIC INTENT ONLY. PLAN VERSION 0 IS EXPERIMENTAL. It will change shape without a migration path until it is declared stable; anything persisted against it should be regarded as a fixture, not as an archive. tests/fixtures/ holds representative plans + artifacts precisely so a future v1 can be shown to migrate them. A plan says what the shot should look like. It never says how a particular video model gets there. No hold maps, no 17n+5, no token indices, no guide frame numbers live in the semantic fields — those are backend output and live in the separate `compiled` cache, which is a CACHE and is never read back as intent (architecture amendment, 2026-08-14 night). Stdlib only, on purpose: this module must import with no torch, no numpy, no comfy, no UI. Both frontends (the ComfyUI widget and the web DAW) and the compiler read the same file through it. plan = new_plan("/path/clip.mp4", frames=124, fps=24, width=1152, height=640) plan["lanes"].append(generation_density_lane([[0, 1.0], [70, 2.5], [123, 2.5]])) validate_or_raise(plan) Schema v0 --------- { "plan_version": 0, "id": "uuid", # stable identity across edits "revision": 3, # bumped by every semantic edit "clip": {"path", "frames", "fps", "width", "height"}, "lanes": [ {"id", "type", "enabled", "proposer", ...} ], "settings": {"intent": {...}, "constraints": {...}, "execution_preferences": {...}, "delivery": {...}}, "provenance": {"proposed_by", "edited", "created", "history": [...]}, "compiled": {"": {"fingerprint", "artifact", "receipt", ...}} } THE UNIT (review round 3, item 1). The density lane's y-axis is TEMPORAL GENERATION DENSITY: how many generated frames to spend per world frame. It is NOT playback speed. The recovery step puts the clip back on the world clock, so a 2x density clip is the same length and the same speed as its source — it was simply generated with twice the frames underneath, so fast motion has somewhere to live. Two sibling fields are RESERVED BY NAME and deliberately not implemented: - presentation_map: editorial retime. THIS one makes the output longer or slower (ramps, slow-mo as a look). - action_rate: how fast the depicted action is, semantically ("he walks slower"), which is a content instruction, not a sampling instruction. Keeping the three apart is the whole reason the lane is named for density. Identity (review round 3, items 2-4): every semantic object carries an id; the semantic half of the document hashes to a semantic_hash that excludes the compiled cache, timestamps and paths; and a compiled section is keyed by a FINGERPRINT over that hash plus the backend/spec/recipe/compiler versions, split into a byte-stable ARTIFACT and a machine-specific RECEIPT. Lane types in v0: "generation_density" is the only one the H3 backend compiles. The others are accepted, validated and round-tripped so a UI can draw them and T2+ can compile them; the compiler refuses them by name rather than ignoring them silently.
