Cards To Images

Render an approved card content package into real, platform-sized image files, route generative work through a recoverable backend when needed, inspect every image, revise failed cards, and produce a cards manifest for human confirmation, direct platform upload, or optional public-URL preparation. Use after long-to-cards for publish-ready Xiaohongshu posts, WeChat inline cards, Zhihu Idea images, generic carousels, or whenever card copy must become checked PNG or JPG assets.

Goal

Turn an approved card package into local image assets that a person can inspect and upload.

Generate actual files, verify them one by one, and keep platform upload and public-URL preparation behind visible handoff states.

Inputs

Collect:

• approved card package from long-to-cards or a compatible source
• delivery_mode=publish_ready
• platform_profile: xiaohongshu, wechat-inline, zhihu-idea, or generic
• ordered card ids, copy, visual direction, source anchors, and alt text
• visual system, brand constraints, and supplied assets when available
• output directory
• existing content_state
• generation_backend=auto by default for generative or mixed work
• an existing chatgpt-image-handoff run when external images are returning to the pipeline
• asset_url_policy: local by default or public when stable URLs are required

Route back to long-to-cards when the sequence, copy, source anchors, or image order is incomplete. Route back to research or review when a card depends on an unsupported claim.

Platform Profiles

Profile	Default output	Use
xiaohongshu	1080×1440, 3:4	ordered image post with a readable cover
zhihu-idea	1080×1440, 3:4	ordered idea images or a compact visual thread
wechat-inline	1080×1440 vertical card or 1600×900 horizontal diagram	article callouts, summaries, mechanisms, or checklists
generic	explicit or source-defined	other carousel and social-card destinations

Use current reviewed platform requirements when they exist. Record any deliberate override in the manifest.

Workflow

1. Validate The Card Package

Confirm:

• card ids and image order are unique and complete
• every card has one main idea
• copy, source anchor, visual direction, and alt text are present
• the cover, caption, CTA, and final card agree
• claims and evidence have already passed their required gates

Do not render an unstable package merely to create a preview that may be mistaken for a final asset.

2. Select A Render Strategy

Choose one strategy per visual system:

• deterministic: use canvas, HTML, SVG, diagrams, or another exact renderer for text-heavy cards, flows, checklists, tables, and factual structures
• generative: use image generation for conceptual or atmospheric illustration; add exact labels with a deterministic layer when needed
• mixed: combine generated visuals with deterministic typography and layout

Prefer deterministic rendering when Chinese text, Skill names, arrows, counts, or source-backed relationships must be exact.

3. Resolve Generative Work

For generative or mixed strategies, route the image jobs through resilient-imagegen with generation_backend=auto.

• use built-in ImageGen when healthy
• use chatgpt-image-handoff when Computer Use or manual ChatGPT handoff is selected
• import every external result under the stable card filename before layout QA
• keep exact Chinese, Skill names, counts, arrows, and source-backed relationships in a deterministic layer
• use a fully deterministic renderer when external ChatGPT transmission is declined

Do not treat a prompt pack or a generator UI result as a rendered card. The branch rejoins only after a local file exists.

4. Render Real Files

Create each ordered PNG or JPG inside the reviewed project directory. Preserve stable filenames such as 01-cover.png, 02-context.png, and 03-method.png.

Treat delivery_mode=publish_ready as approval to produce local files. Pause before paid generation, editing sensitive supplied assets, or any action that needs a new external permission.

5. Inspect And Revise Every Image

Open every rendered image and check:

• exact text, names, numbers, and page order
• legibility at expected mobile size
• overflow, clipping, unintended line breaks, and safe margins
• correct dimensions and aspect ratio
• consistent colors, typography, spacing, and series markers
• visual alignment with the source claim and card purpose
• absence of invented metrics, interfaces, quotes, logos, or outcomes

Revise failed cards and inspect them again. A contact sheet can support overview review, but it does not replace per-image inspection.

6. Write cards-manifest

Record one row per output with:

• card_id
• platform_profile
• source_card
• local_path
• format, width, and height
• alt_text
• render_strategy
• generation_backend
• handoff_run_id, when an external handoff was used
• generation_status
• visual_qa_status
• human_confirmation
• asset_url_policy
• r2_state
• public_url

Use these states:

• generation_status: not_started, planned, generated, or failed
• visual_qa_status: pending, passed, or needs_revision
• human_confirmation: pending, approved, or rejected
• r2_state: not_planned, planned, confirmed, uploaded, or verified

7. Hand Off

• With asset_url_policy=local, return the local images and manifest for human confirmation and direct platform upload.
• With asset_url_policy=public, route the reviewed local references to md-img-r2 plan mode. Require explicit confirmation before upload or URL rewrite.
• When a chatgpt-image-handoff pack exists, preserve its run_id, imported-file checksum, and QA result in the cards manifest.
• Route the assembled package to wenchang-publish-check final mode. Keep human_confirmation=pending until the user actually approves the images.
