motion-pptx-studio v6.22.0

Motion PPTX Studio 6.22.0. Fixes contradictions and gaps found in the SpaceX and Hạ Long peer tests and the R16 SpaceX rebuild. No new test rounds were run for this release, only syntax and unit sanity checks.

Sample image: the independent SpaceX peer-test deck (22 slides, 3 films, built on 6.21), attached below.

6.22.0 (2026-10-23)

Contradiction/gap fixes from the SpaceX and Hạ Long peer tests and R16 (SpaceX rebuild lost to the reference on charts).

• Gates win over taste: every critic prompt and cinematic-manimgx say film quality is defined by film_art/film_check;
  no "flat/smooth/clean" film orders; a gate-failing order is closed as DONE: conflict.
• film_check depth: resolution/fps-normalised (640 px, pairs 0.4 s apart at 16 times), ratio-tested ORB matches
  (dense particles), mean of best 3 pairs instead of one max. Peer films: duongve .30, lopvo .14, karst .23,
  tide .25 pass; synthetic 2-D pan .00.
• One film size: 1920x1080 everywhere (manimgx-first, quirks, web-film, example README note).
• build_deck: slide-level "hidden": true drops the slide (CUT keeps the source; per-slide-critic updated).
• photo_library: LIB matching also reads photo_from (graded/cropped copies); sources/credits chapters exempt
  from hero rows and per-chapter use; art_check HERO/BLEED skip sources chapters.
• art_check TEXT-over-photo measures the inked text extent (alignment-aware), not the text-box width.
• build.py: project root = nearest ancestor with design/ or samples/; pick.md, library, hero-plan and style.json
  are looked up only inside it; samples skip the photo-count/library/hero-plan gates and need no films.
• Sample/pick step not skippable: any full deck needs >= 3 built samples and a critic-signed pick.md newer than them.
• photo_layout cutout: rembg -> venv -> GrabCut on any failure incl. out-of-memory (documented).
• manimgx-quirks: star import's Path shadows pathlib; ImageMobject has no set_height (scale /
  stretch_to_fit_height); dense particle fields need a lit structure for depth.
• style_check CHART + layout-rhythm data rhythm: a chapter stating >= 3 quantities needs >= 1 real chart.
• Principles kept at 10-20 lines; overflow moved to references/details/.

motion-pptx-studio v6.19.0

Stable release of motion-pptx-studio 6.19.0.

Persistent art-director critic: one deck score and a fixed plan, at most 5 orders tied to library files, follow-up marks DONE from before/after, and undone orders are re-issued verbatim. Keep the better render. Stop when the gain is under 0.5.

Also in this line since v6.2.0: photo library first, three art directions, signed sample chapters, per-slide critic against the Trái Đất and SpaceX yardsticks, and native keyframes with compat default safe (no Morph). ManimGX and Anatomy stay mandatory and install-first.

Sample contact sheets built by Codex using only the skill (attached):

• r12-sanho.jpg — Rạn san hô (coral reef), round 12, score 8.0
• r9-vf3b.jpg — VinFast VF3, round 9, score 8.5
• r13-bachdang.jpg — Bạch Đằng 1288, round 13
• r11-tet.jpg — Tết, round 11

Python 3.9+ (3.13+ for ManimGX), python-pptx, Pillow, LibreOffice, poppler, ffmpeg, ManimGX, and Anatomy (Node 20.10+ and Chrome).
