v0.4.0 — repeatable production workbench

Framewright v0.4.0 is an experimental prerelease of the agent-operated video-production toolkit.

What is new

• Experiment workbench and readiness: freeze a bounded question and common sources, compare retained A/B outputs, record checks/time/cost and prepare local review packs. Owner acceptance remains separate from technical evidence.
• Saved Blender shots: restore a pinned scene, change one declared camera/action/light/audio control and rerender a selected range. The original CPU fixture matched 36 repeated frames and 12 separately rendered subrange frames; audio timing and camera/action preservation are recorded.
• Versioned characters and environments: prepare passports and bind exact versions to shots. Incomplete, stale or unapproved declared definitions block execution. Automatic visual identity is not implemented.
• Studio knowledge: updated production/research records, 40 final exports, a 10-chapter book outline, three worked cases showing routes with Framewright and without it, and 10 mapped evidence gaps.
• Weekly English posts: documented ABVX metadata, 1–3 YouTube examples, a required generated cover/alt text and owner-provided publication links. The owner's configured heartbeat is account-local and is not installed by cloning the repository.

Checks and source

• Local offline gate: 360 tests, zero failures, one skip, plus retained router/storyboard evidence, documentation/catalogue links, generated reference and standalone-package smoke.
• PR #45: both CI runs passed; Codex code review completed without findings on 1e22a4f.
• Merge/tag target: dffec685ab19ae84642a9ed8d279dc66aab0c3b3; its tree matches the reviewed head.
• Main CI.
• Changelog · Release audit.

Download and scope

framewright-router-0.4.0.zip is the standalone router skill; the tagged source also contains documentation and authored examples. Python 3.11+ is recommended for the current helper set; media functions require the declared FFmpeg/Blender tools separately. This archive includes no Blender application, media, models, private journals or account automation. Preserve local skill edits before installing an update.

SHA-256: e9ae3261bd90767996b9dd6217f314c15aa4fd84182e64dfcaacf0193673fc70. SHA256SUMS is attached alongside the archive.

Current-source model routing remains not_evaluated_current_source; the historical model evaluation is unchanged. Blender qualification is limited to the original CPU fixture on one build/Mac. DJV frame access, facial naturalness, reader reproduction and SSI's first scheduled production remain bounded/pending as documented. New-video rights, playback/acceptance and audience outcomes remain separate. This release makes no claim of universal rendering, automatic publishing or audience gains.

Verified after publication

Main and tag CI completed successfully on the exact release commit. The release page and both assets were fetched without authentication. The downloaded ZIP passed integrity checks and matched the built archive and published SHA256SUMS. The annotated public tag resolves to the reviewed merge commit above. Local main is synchronized and clean.
