 - Protocol and domain semantics are the source of truth; UI and MCP are adapters.
 - No image/video generation runtime, no ComfyUI-like execution graph, no built-in media rendering, no publishing integrations.
 - Deployment MUST target Cloudflare Workers; do not introduce PM2/systemd/VPS runtime, fabricated hostnames, example.com domains or hardcoded ports as deployed facts.
-- Production hostname MUST be a `talkincode.net` subdomain managed by Cloudflare; planned default `video-compose.talkincode.net` until actual DNS/Worker routing is verified.
+- Production hostname MUST be a `talkincode.net` subdomain managed by Cloudflare; canonical target `vflow.talkincode.net`; retain `video-compose.talkincode.net` as a compatibility alias. Verify actual DNS/Worker routing before claiming it is live.
 - Browser UI, REST API and MCP MUST be protected with Cloudflare Access (Zero Trust SSO / service authentication as appropriate); Worker MUST still enforce per-project authorization.
 - GitHub-to-Workers deployment MUST be supported, preferring native Workers Builds GitHub integration; GitHub Actions + Wrangler is an alternative, never a simultaneous competing production deployer.
 - Distinguish design decisions from verified live infrastructure. Do not report CI, DNS, Access, R2 or D1 as configured without inspecting actual resources.

 ## Quality
 Protocol canonicalization, stable IDs, no destructive patching, authorization, deterministic change semantics and historical asset dereference are correctness boundaries. Validate these before treating the UI as complete.
+
+## Versioned reference authoring
+
+`ReferenceAuthoringService` is shared by REST, MCP and the web client. `packages/protocol/src/authoring.ts` owns the typed policy/scene/reference-pack/storyboard/input contracts; `authoring-guidance.ts` owns versioned bilingual rules and seven reusable prompts. Scenes do not extend the v1 SubjectKind enum. Composition v2 pins exact material revisions through a typed `set_authoring` operation.
+
+D1 migration 0003 adds whole-record immutable material histories and external input evidence, persisted in the existing CAS transaction. No media processing runtime or separate authorization system is added. New projects get an approved strict policy atomically with creation; old projects without one remain legacy. Context checks prove version agreement; structural scope, explicit visual reviews and exact input preparation enforce production prerequisites.
+
+A portable v2 bundle includes transitive material/subject/asset metadata and fixed composition baselines required by storyboard sequences. Import validates hashes, immutable conflicts, chronology and lineage atomically, preserves existing history, and refuses v1 overwrites of v2 semantics. Existing strict imports require baseRevision, and operationId receipts prevent duplicate imports after lost responses.
+
+The web reference workspace displays clean independent tiles and source boards with selectable crop overlays. Metadata and review controls are outside image pixels. It records unknown versus passed checks, previews prepared/actual inputs, and preserves editing content after failure. Read-only viewers can inspect and prepare but cannot promote or write. Full workflow, limitations, compatibility and rollback: [reference-authoring.md](reference-authoring.md).

+- **D1 Migration**: Applied `0002_mcp_oauth.sql` to `video-compose-db` (`028d0760-9c64-4f4d-876e-8e6b33236acc`), creating `mcp_clients`, `mcp_grants`, `mcp_tokens`.
+- **Tool Schema Compliance**: Added standard JSON Schema `inputSchema` for all 26 tools in `MCP_TOOLS_MANIFEST` and handled `notifications/initialized`, `ping`, and dynamic `protocolVersion` negotiation for full OpenAI/ChatGPT MCP compatibility.
+- **Cloudflare Access Application**: Added machine bypass application `Video Compose MCP machine` (App ID `23185069-e6c1-4de2-a816-fcea36215257`, AUD `22b0af63bc95085c9f3acccf5cbb5122f410e837e2d702f6947a0892b3b5cd50`).

+## MCP list compatibility and reference preview hotfix (2026-10-25)
+
+- Worker version `118ca0e9-b626-42f8-accf-cb99958b510e` replaces `5f68d123-2909-4cda-8d6c-0eaedaa4abef`. Deployed with `--keep-vars`, without migrations or asset rewrites. Existing OAuth and five-image candidate changes were already present in the production baseline; existing uncommitted work was preserved. This hotfix was deployed from the working tree; no commit, push, or GitHub CI run was performed in this operation.
+- Array results remain serialized in MCP text content and no longer populate object-only `structuredContent`; the local client reads text when structured content is absent. Production connector calls to `project_list`, `subject_list` and `asset_search` now pass strict response validation.
+- Compact image previews, including character/prop reference cards, expose an authorized same-origin original-image link. Local acceptance: typecheck, lint, 41 integration tests and 15 Chromium tests passed, including opening a subject reference in a new tab and checking image decoding.
+- Authenticated production verification: all three uploaded realistic reference boards decoded at their original dimensions in the asset library, all eight subjects displayed their new reference packs, and the Su Wei full-size original opened successfully. Anonymous project API access still redirects to Cloudflare Access (`302`).
+- The existing MV compositions were compared before/after: `old-bridge-main-177s` revision 6 still has 31 shots and 5316 frames; `old-bridge-broll-library` revision 3 still has 32 shots. Both composition documents were unchanged. New subject reference revisions remain candidates; historical approved revisions are preserved.

+## Reference authoring migration (local implementation, not a deployment record)
+
+Apply `0003_reference_authoring.sql` along with any earlier unapplied migrations before releasing code that reads reference_documents/reference_evidence. The migration is additive and does not rewrite existing projects; absent policy means legacy. Back up D1 before migration and retain new tables on rollback. Never let an old writer drop v2 authoring dependencies; close old write ingress before rolling back, and use a compatible repair build for v2 data. See [reference authoring compatibility/rollback](reference-authoring.md#v1v2d1-迁移与回滚). Local passing tests do not establish a production rollout or authenticated live acceptance.
+
+## VFlow canonical hostname release
+
+Canonical browser/API origin is `https://vflow.talkincode.net`; Remote MCP is `https://vflow.talkincode.net/mcp`. Keep the old hostname as a compatibility alias to preserve existing OAuth clients, project links and sessions. Both hostnames route to the existing `video-compose` Worker and share the same D1/R2; no project copy or media rewrite is needed.
+
+Before exposing the new route, extend the existing Access application destinations to cover both root hostnames, preserving the existing human/service policies. Extend only the existing machine application paths for MCP, token/register/revoke and well-known metadata. `/oauth/authorize` and `/v1/*` remain behind the root SSO gate. The Worker independently requires Bearer authentication for anonymous machine requests. Verify the new hostname's metadata uses its own issuer, authorization, token and resource URLs; do not redirect POST /mcp to another host.
+
+The deployment uses Wrangler as the sole deployer; the live Workers Builds trigger list was empty at release preparation. Record exact-SHA CI, a pre-migration D1 export/bookmark, previous Worker version `118ca0e9-b626-42f8-accf-cb99958b510e`, migration status, active deployment and authenticated browser/API/MCP readback in the private release evidence.

 ## Compatibility policy
 No silent reinterpretation of existing fields. Additive optional fields under v1 are allowed when old clients can safely ignore them; breaking semantic changes require a new `apiVersion` and explicit migration. Schema fixtures and golden tests are mandatory before declaring v1 stable.
+
+## v2 reference dependency contract
+
+`COMPOSITION_JSON_SCHEMA` remains v1. `COMPOSITION_V2_JSON_SCHEMA` declares `video-compose/v2` and optional `authoring: {policyVersion, materials: [{id, revision}]}`. `set_authoring` upgrades explicitly, preserving sequence, shot definitions, durations, Subject bindings and selected outputs.
+
+Reference documents use `video-compose/reference-workflow/v1`: discriminated policy, scene, reference_pack and storyboard_sequence schemas exported from `authoring.ts`. Scene identity, environment variant, per-view owner/purpose, crop provenance, text policy and visual review are typed fields, not provider metadata or asset tags. Prompts remain separate from clean image pixels.
+
+V2 bundle dependencies include exact material revisions and compositionBaselines required by sequences, alongside subjects and assets. V1 readers reject v2; lossy conversion is refused with UNREPRESENTABLE_IN_V1. All necessary assets must already exist with matching hashes on import; missing/cyclic/conflicting dependencies fail atomically. Rules, complete workflow, schema resources, input/evidence contracts and rollback are specified in [reference-authoring.md](reference-authoring.md).

+# 参考素材制作工作流
+
+本实现对应 [Issue #1](https://github.com/talkincode/video-compose/issues/1)。平台负责制作规则、资料版本、逐项审阅、来源、输入准备和使用证据。生成、裁切、OCR、视觉分析和视频播放验收由外部工具或人完成；没有新增模型执行器、付费任务或常驻服务。
+
+## 从混合板到可用参考
+
+混合概念板可以保存在素材库，或登记为 `moodboard`。它不能被批准为制作参考。为一个板填上某个角色名字、图片能正常加载，都不能使它成为角色身份图。
+
+1. 读取项目工作流。新项目默认 `strict`；迁移前的无策略项目按 `legacy` 读取，不删除图片、不重建编排、不修改旧修订。
+2. 创建角色/道具候选定义、变体和固定修订。原图先上传；描述和制作要求放在结构化资料里。
+3. 外部工具制作或提取独立视图，再上传新的不可变资产。人物面部和身体/服装分文件；道具与场景各自建档。类型化参考包固定 owner 的 ID、revision、variant 和每个视图的用途。
+4. 按图逐项检查，保存明确证据。`unknown`、缺失项和失败项不能被批准。`review` 与 `approve` 都追加新修订，不能改变旧图、旧审阅或旧镜头。
+5. 批准参考包，再批准该修订的 Subject。这样先保留候选主体身份，避免“需要已批准角色才能创建参考，但批准角色又需要参考”的循环前置。
+6. 创建并批准场景定义及其参考视图。天气/时间/水位是环境变体；机位是视图。不同地点不能混在同一个几何基准里。
+7. 用 `set_authoring` 在编排中固定资料版本。它只更新 `apiVersion/authoring`，不重排镜头、不改时长、选定输出或 Subject 绑定。
+8. 外部 Agent 使用这些精确来源制作无字分镜图，上传独立帧和 sidecar，再登记、逐项审阅和批准 `storyboard_sequence`。
+9. 准备生成输入包。人工核实目标工具本次输入能力，明确数量与角色，选具体视图/单帧。准备成功表示输入具备已记录的前提，不表示已经发给外部模型。
+10. 外部生成后回传实际输入、输出资产和证据等级，核对实际输入是否与计划相同。视频应完整播放检查后再采用；缩略图、首帧和 `matchesPlan` 均不能证明视频动作连续。
+
+## 图像与 sidecar 的约束
+
+| 类型 | 图像要求 | 图外字段与必检项 |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| `character_face` | 一个角色，简单背景，中性表情、均匀光照，正面/侧面/三分之四侧面 | 身份、变体、视角；同一身份、面部清晰、光照与脸型一致 |
+| `character_body` | 同一角色的身体与服装，正面/侧面/背面，比例与地平线一致；与面部图分文件 | 体型、服装、佩饰、支撑面；剧情湿身/伤势另设变体 |
+| `prop_views` | 一件道具的多角度与结构细节，不混场景 | 材质、尺寸单位、可动部件、状态；形状/尺度一致 |
+| `prop_catalog` | 多件道具可以宫格展示，每格一个明确归属和独立 tile | 每格独立 `owner`、用途与裁切来源，不把整板默认绑定给某一件道具 |
+| `scene_views` | 一个地点，固定几何；近中远景及不同角度 | 每图 `cameraView/environmentVariant`；几何、机位与环境一致 |
+| `layout` | 单场景空间布局 | 几何锚点、动作轴线、支撑面，不能冒充人物身份图 |
+| `single_frame` | 来自已批准参考的单帧候选 | 来源视图必填，不能代替面部/服装/道具参考；送首尾帧前须登记为有场景和状态的序列面板 |
+| `storyboard_sequence` | 时间序列，图内不写标题、编号、说明、箭头或对白；独立帧可交付 | `order/shotId/momentFrame/scene/environmentVariant/cameraView/sources/entities/transition/textPolicy` |
+| `moodboard` | 原始或混合展示板 | 仅归档；不得批准或准备为生成输入 |
+
+`ReferenceView.view` 是图外视角说明，`purpose` 是机器用途：`face_identity/wardrobe/prop/environment/layout/first_frame/last_frame/style`。它们不是可互换槽位。面部和身体至少需要两个不同视角才能批准；模板指导生成更完整的正侧背与三分之四视角。
+
+宫格采用 row-major，声明行列数，单元数量与行列一致。每格记录独立图片和 `source: {asset, sha256, regionPx: {x,y,width,height}}`。服务检查原图 SHA-256、裁切边界、不重叠、tile 尺寸与原图分离。不会假装已验证裁切像素确实来自该区域；该项仍需人或外部视觉检查。
+
+场景定义独立于 Subject（SubjectKind 仍为 `character | prop`），有不可变资料修订、固定几何、具名锚点/支撑面及环境变体。场景参考包一次固定一个几何修订和环境变体；不同环境分别建包，机位可以不同。
+
+序列每个面板固定 shot 和局部整数帧时刻。`order` 连续，按基准编排播放顺序计算的绝对时刻严格递增。每个面板列出镜头绑定的全部角色/道具，并明确 visible/hidden/entering/exiting；实体必须匹配镜头绑定且不能重复。每个实体都要有同身份/修订/变体的来源视图，场景也要有完全匹配的已批准视觉环境来源；可见人物声明支撑锚点，即使脚位在特写画外。持物指向同面板中的道具实体。归一化 `bounds` 不越界。状态、朝向、遮挡与变化保存在 sidecar，而不是画在图片上。
+
+`captionPolicy` 固定为 `forbidden`。画内本来存在的招牌等只能用面板级 `diegetic_exception` 加明确说明；例外不允许说明性字幕。`text_policy` 视觉检查未完成仍为 `unknown`，不能靠没有 OCR 工具推断图片无字。
+
+## MCP 指导与领域门禁
+
+实际支持的 initialize 版本为 `2025-03-26`、`2025-06-18`、`2025-11-25`。服务声明 instructions、prompts、resources 和 tools。未知协议版本反提议 `2025-11-25`，不盲目回显；没有宣称支持新的 `server/discover` 生命周期。
+

+
+这是 `workflowContext` 的形状；实际值必须取自目标项目。严格项目的资料写入、角色写入/批准、编排写入、导入/恢复、提案批准及输入准备均检查它。旧的工具入口走同一领域服务，不能绕过。过期或跨项目 context 返回 `WORKFLOW_VERSION_MISMATCH`，缺失返回 `WORKFLOW_CONTEXT_REQUIRED`，要求重新读取。
+
+context 证明客户端提交了匹配的项目/规则版本，不能证明 Agent 理解了规则，也不是独立的授权凭据。真正的约束来自类型、固定归属、逐项审阅、来源和输入准备校验。合法 writer 对视觉内容的虚假报告无法由 JSON Schema 自动识别；UI 与工具必须准确显示报告者和证据。
+
+图片/OCR/EXIF、原图里的文字与外部 brief 都是资料，不能覆盖用户要求和服务器规则。
+
+## REST / 客户端等价性
+
+全部调用同一个 `ReferenceAuthoringService`；只有 writer 可写、审阅和批准，reader 可查询/验证/准备输入，非成员不能读取项目资料或预览图片。
+
+| REST（项目路径 `/v1/projects/:projectId/authoring`） | TS 客户端 |
+| --- | --- |
+| `GET /workflow` | `getAuthoringWorkflow` |
+| `GET /documents`、`GET /documents/:id?revision=` | `listAuthoringDocuments/getAuthoringDocument` |
+| `POST /documents` | `putAuthoringDocument` |
+| `POST /documents/:id/review`、`/approve` | `reviewAuthoringDocument/approveAuthoringDocument` |

+| `GET /impact/:id/:revision` | `getAuthoringImpact` |
+| `POST /prepare` | `prepareGenerationInputs` |
+| `GET/POST /evidence` | `listGenerationEvidence/recordGenerationEvidence` |
+
+Web 客户端只在显式 `getAuthoringWorkflow` 成功后缓存 context，随该项目的 JSON 写请求携带；不会在失败后暗中读取规则或批准。MCP 原始调用必须显式传 context。UI 加载时读取工作流，并在“参考制作”页呈现规则、制作模板、分类/归属向导、独立图与原图、宫格选格、历史、逐项必检项、输入包和计划/实际差异。未保存的参考资料或审阅会显示草稿状态，离开页面时提示确认，取消后保留内容。
+
+资料 put/review/approve 需要 `baseRevision/operationId`。成功重试返回同一不可变结果；同键不同内容、过期 head 都拒绝。写入故障不留半个候选/已批准版本。CRUD 中随意填写的 review 会被去除；只有明确 review 操作才能记录审阅。改变单元或来源上下文需要重审，未改变单元可保留其记录。已被否决的图不会因提交待审草稿而恢复生产资格，只有明确重新审阅并批准才能恢复。Agent 不能冒充 `method: human`，应使用 `external` 并提供实际检查证据。`reviewer` 记录实际提交审阅的认证身份，资料修订另存 actorId。
+
+批准 pack 不会自动重绑镜头；批准 Subject 会逐一要求其图片已被同 owner/revision/variant 的类型化批准视图覆盖。严格项目的镜头直接参考也必须来自固定且归属相符的批准资料。
+
+## 输入包与外部实际使用
+
+请求固定 `compositionId/compositionRevision/shotId`、每个 `source.pack@revision/viewId` 或 `sequence@revision/panelId`、用途、精简动作提示、模板版本和本次核实的能力（时间、依据、图片数量、支持用途、是否理解序列）。来源必须在该编排固定资料的依赖闭包中，主体必须匹配镜头绑定。
+
+`GenerationInputPacket` 记录项目/规则版本、完整请求、实际独立资产 ID、SHA-256、用途、精确来源及顺序，并对规范化 JSON 散列。相同输入可重复得到相同 hash。超量返回缺口，不丢图；未知能力不猜测；候选、冲突或缺审阅的来源不放行。
+
+本适配器采用保守降级：即便外部目标声称支持序列宫格，也只准备独立单格。`wholeBoard` 一律返回 `GRID_CELL_REQUIRED`，不要把整板当字面首帧。首/尾帧来自已批准序列面板，身份图不能塞入这两个槽位。序列固定创建时的编排基准；后续编排修订仍可使用它，但目标镜头内容必须与基准一致，镜头修改后需要新序列。
+
+外部回报分别记录 `packet`、按真实顺序列出的 `actualInputs`、已上传的 `outputs`、说明和证据等级：
+
+- `manual_unknown`：尚不能确认实际输入；即使回填了计划列表，也不标记相符。
+- `agent_reported`：Agent 回报；不宣称平台观察到了第三方请求。
+- `request_capture`：外部提供请求捕获依据；平台保存依据，不宣称自动抓取。
+
+`matchesPlan` 只比较顺序、ID、hash、用途与证据等级；不代表视觉质量或输出被采用。输入包会在记录时重新核实，不能伪造 hash。生成使用证据是项目级审计记录，通过 evidence_list 单独获取，不在编排交换包中；备份项目时须同时保存这些记录。证据不可原位改写，重试保持幂等。错误回报应追加新的证据记录并说明纠正。
+
+较新修订否决某张历史图片时，默认生产准备会拒绝该图片及其依赖链；旧批准修订仍可读取，不自动改写时间线。未审阅的失败输出必须重新建立候选和逐项审阅，不能上传后自动成为下一轮权威来源。
+
+## v1/v2、D1 迁移与回滚
+
+- `video-compose/v1` 继续读写历史结构。其 JSON Schema 保持 v1 常量且不接收 authoring。v2 有独立 `COMPOSITION_V2_JSON_SCHEMA`；`set_authoring` 是明确协议升级，不伪装成 v1 扩展字段。
+- 资料协议为 `video-compose/reference-workflow/v1`；场景、参考包和序列是类型化资料修订，编排 v2 的 `authoring.materials` 固定资料版本。
+- 新建项目默认 strict；显式 `authoringMode: legacy` 只用于归档/兼容。它不表示旧图通过新规则，生成输入准备仍要求类型化、批准且固定的来源。旧 D1 项目缺少策略时保持 legacy。当前不提供隐式全项目升级或降级。
+- `0003_reference_authoring.sql` 只添加 `reference_documents/reference_evidence`，复用原 D1 事务、CAS 及 idempotency 表。记录整个不可变修订历史，不迁移或删除任何旧编排。
+- 先备份 D1/R2 并应用所有未执行迁移，再发布新 Worker。新 Worker 依赖新表，不能先发布后迁移。OAuth 的 `0002` 是工作树原有的独立功能，本功能不会代替它。
+- v2 导出包含固定资料闭包、资产元数据、主体修订及序列所需的编排基准快照。导入先要求目标项目已上传相同 ID/hash 的媒体；缺失、循环、版本冲突均事务回滚。基准修订不会覆盖已有不同内容。
+- 导出当前包含原板的受权资产元数据与 hash，不打包二进制，不生成共享链接。独立媒体分发由维护者明确选择，不能把导出 JSON 当成已公开图片。
+- v1 导出只允许无损内容；存在 authoring 返回 `UNREPRESENTABLE_IN_V1` 和不可表示路径。往现有 v2 编排导入 v1 同样拒绝。不能通过旧接口静默删字段。
+- 导入支持 operationId 重放；对现有 strict 目标还需当前 baseRevision，防止并发覆盖。
+- 回滚 Worker 时保留新表和新记录；旧只读者仍可读 v1 历史，v2 应用具备相应验证能力的版本处理。不要用旧写服务覆盖 v2；先关闭旧写入口，部署修复版。回退到旧资料通过明确新绑定/恢复修订完成，历史不删除。
+
+PNG/JPEG 的尺寸来自上传字节头解析，不能由客户端自报尺寸伪装为已核实。这里只核实头部尺寸，不宣称完整图片解码或视觉有效；其他格式可归档，待外部转换为独立 PNG/JPEG 后再进入严格参考。真实浏览器解码是另外的验收证据。

 1. Create character and prop subjects, upload multiple reference images, approve revisions, and bind them to two shots in separate compositions; both resolve the same version-pinned packs.
 2. Produce a new character appearance revision and a damaged-prop variant; old shots retain the old packs, while explicitly rebound shots see the new version.
 3. Simultaneous subject edits to the same semantic field report a machine-readable conflict rather than silently overwrite one agent.
 4. Upload a corrupted/reference-missing asset or attempt unauthorized approval; the operation fails atomically, preserving the previous canonical pack.
 5. Export and reimport a composition plus its dependency manifest; exact subject version identities and pack references remain stable.
+
+## Typed reference packs and strict projects
+
+SubjectKind remains character/prop. Scenes are separate immutable reference-workflow documents with geometry anchors and environment variants. Strict projects require per-view typed reference approval before subject promotion; face/body sheets and prop catalogs are distinct packs. Candidate subject definitions precede reference authoring, so approval has no circular prerequisite.
+
+`authoring_document_put/review/approve` append immutable material revisions; Subject approval still freezes its existing candidate revision only after checking exact owner/revision/variant coverage. Direct `status: approved` cannot bypass this check. Old project behavior remains available through the explicit legacy boundary; old approved status is not an assertion that images passed the new visual checks. See [reference authoring](reference-authoring.md) for guidance, JSON contracts, scope checks and migration.
