## 1. Executive Summary & Authoritative Specification Sources

This investigation analyzed the authoritative screenplay in `FilmMaker/TAP_01_XUAN_SAC_THE_NGUYEN_VA_GIONG_BAO_DOAN_TRUONG.md` (all 188 shots, 15 scenes), the project bible directives in `00_Project_Bible/` (`CHARACTER_BIBLE.md`, `ENVIRONMENT_BIBLE.md`, `MASTER_BIBLE.md`), user directives in `ORIGINAL_REQUEST.md`, and existing prompt assets in `02_AI_Prompts/gemini_banana_prompts.json`.

We have formulated and validated the complete 188-shot Gemini Banana Start Frame Prompt Registry. Every single shot strictly adheres to the required contract schema:
```json
{
  "character_anchor": "<string>",
  "environment_anchor": "<string>",
  "prompt": "<string>",
  "resolution": "1280x720"
}
```

The registry is compiled into `.agents/teamwork/spec_miner_m2_2/gemini_banana_ep01_registry.json` and validated by automated tests (`validate_registry.py`).

## 2. Features Discovered

| # | Category | Feature | Description | Inputs | Outputs | Error Behavior | Discovered Via |
|---|----------|---------|-------------|--------|---------|----------------|----------------|
| 1 | Prompt Architecture | 4-Field Contract Schema | Universal JSON object per shot: `character_anchor`, `environment_anchor`, `prompt`, `resolution` | Shot ID & screenplay beats | Structured JSON dictionary entry | Missing field triggers validation failure | PROJECT.md §Interface Contracts |
| 2 | Start Frame Visuals | Contextual Start Frame Synthesis | Eliminates raw indoor white/grey studio portraits in outdoor scenes; embeds characters into precise physical environments (brook, meadow, crowd, sunset grave, tea room, study, ransacked hall) | Character anchor + Environment anchor | 720p contextual scene image prompt | Isolated portrait leads to jarring visual discontinuity | ORIGINAL_REQUEST §R3 |
| 3 | Motion Physics | Zero Reverse Physics Protocol | Eliminates reversed bird flights, backwards walking, and unnatural physical motions by embedding explicit directional forward vectors (e.g. "walking forward along path towards camera right", "riding white stallion steadily forward into frame", "branches swaying gently forward from west to east") | Screenplay action descriptions | Prompt with forward directional verbs | Ambiguous vectors cause Muse.ai reverse motion hallucinations | ORIGINAL_REQUEST §R3 |
| 4 | Character Identity | Kiều-Vân Twin Aesthetics | Codifies identical 16yo East Asian twin bone structure & porcelain skin, while sharply contrasting aura (sharp/melancholic vs round/serene), dress (celadon jade vs pure white), and accessories (pear blossom jade pin vs round pearl pin) | Character Bible §1, §3 | Twin-differentiated prompts in Scene 03 and subsequent scenes | Conflation of sisters causes identity drift | ORIGINAL_REQUEST §Directive 2026-10-08T05:21:27Z |
| 5 | Feudal Realism | 100% East Asian Sai Nha Guards | Codifies authentic 16th century Mac/Ming bailiffs: rough weathered Asian features, conical peaked helmets ("nón dấu sơn son chóp nhọn"), red-trimmed coarse grey linen tunics with "Dũng" insignia, leg wraps ("xà cạp"), wooden cudgels ("gậy son"), and iron chains. Zero western/modern elements | Character Bible §4 | Photorealistic medieval Asian bailiff prompts in Scenes 12-13 | Modern/western police attire violates historical realism | ORIGINAL_REQUEST §Directive 2026-10-08T05:21:27Z |
| 6 | Directing Protocol | Anti-Male-Tears Directive | Feudal males (Kim Trọng, Vương Quan, Vương Ông) express grief through clenched jaws, heavy deep gaze, compressed breathing, rock-hard stoicism; zero tears or weeping. Embedded `--no crying men, tears on male faces` | Character Bible & Screenplay notes | Stoic masculine facial prompts | Male crying violates period decorum | ORIGINAL_REQUEST §R4 |
| 7 | Audio/Visual Sync | Lip-Sync & Off-Screen Guard | Distinguishes on-screen speech from off-screen voice/distant calls. Kim Trọng listening to distant voice in Scene 08 keeps lips firmly closed | Screenplay audio stem notes | Closed-mouth prompt instructions | Mouth moving without voice causes sync mismatch | ORIGINAL_REQUEST §R5 |
| 8 | YouTube Monetization | 100% Green Dollar Chiaroscuro | Replaces graphic violence and beating in Scene 13 with dramatic Chiaroscuro silhouettes on rice paper screens, and Dam Tien's spirit with poetic ethereal apparition; zero gore or jump-scare horror | Safety Bible & Screenplay Scene 13 | Stylized high-contrast silhouette prompts | Blood/gore leads to demonetization | AGENTS.md §7, SAFETY_GUIDELINES.md |

## 3. Edge Cases & Boundary Conditions

| # | Feature | Input | Observed Behavior | Handling / Resolution |
|---|---------|-------|-------------------|------------------------|
| 1 | Pure Environmental Shots | Shots with no human characters (e.g., `ep01_scene01_shot03`, `ep01_scene01_shot10`-`21`, `ep01_scene05_shot02`, `ep01_scene12_shot01`-`03`) | Shot describes landscape, river, sky, or architectural details | Set `character_anchor: "none"`, focus prompt on environmental volumetric lighting, forward motion vectors (wind, river, birds) |
| 2 | Time-Warp Dissolve Transition | `ep01_scene01_shot09` (Bridge from 1980s frame story to 16th century Jiajing era) | Visual dissolve where tobacco smoke swirls and transforms into ancient morning mist | Set `character_anchor: "none"`, `environment_anchor: "vong_xoay_suong_khoi_xuyen_khong"`, prompt models organic smoke-to-fog morphing |
| 3 | Composite Character Presence | Multi-character shots (e.g., `ep01_scene02_shot01` Vuong Ong + Ba; `ep01_scene03_shot01` Kieu + Van; `ep01_scene05_shot01` Kieu + Van + Quan; `ep01_scene12_shot04` Sai Nha + Thang Ban To) | Multiple characters must maintain distinct costume and facial attributes within a single frame | Structured composite anchor (e.g. `thuy_kieu_maiden + thuy_van`), explicit visual positioning and distinct color palettes in prompt |
| 4 | Off-Screen Dialogue Listener | `ep01_scene08_shot07` (Kim Trọng hears Kiều calling from beyond flower wall) | Audio stem has distant Kiều dialogue; Kim Trọng is sole character on screen | Explicit prompt constraint: `Kim Trong's lips remain firmly, naturally closed without any movement; his head tilts alertly as he listens intently` |
| 5 | Supernatural Footprints on Moss | `ep01_scene05_shot25` (Dam Tien's ghostly slipper marks appearing in sequence) | Ethereal footprints pressing into moss without physical person visible | Set `character_anchor: "none"`, prompt details low tracking shot of elegant feminine slipper impressions miraculously sinking into green moss |
| 6 | Extreme Close-Up Macro Shots | `ep01_scene01_shot08` (pupil reflecting twilight), `ep01_scene10_shot08` (calligraphy scroll), `ep01_scene15_shot03` (tear on jade fan) | Macro detail requiring high resolution focus | Specify 100mm macro cinema lens, tactile surface textures (jade, bronze, tear droplet, ink on silk) |
| 7 | Climax Split-Screen Freeze Frame | `ep01_scene15_shot06` (Final cliffhanger: Kiều turning toward door vs Matchmaker with silver bag at threshold) | Split-composition hook for episode ending | Explicit dual-panel prompt: left half lit by lightning showing Kiều's tearful resolute face; right half showing ominous silhouette of broker with purse |

## 5. Implementation Blueprint for `02_AI_Prompts/gemini_banana_prompts.json`

The compiled registry can be cleanly integrated into `02_AI_Prompts/gemini_banana_prompts.json` either by:
1. Adding a dedicated top-level key: `"ep01_prompt_registry": { ... 188 shots ... }` which preserves the existing `characters`, `environments`, and `critical_keyframes` structures untouched.
2. Or flattening the 188 shot keys directly into the root JSON object alongside metadata keys, matching the contract in `PROJECT.md` line 65:
   `{"ep01_sceneXX_shotYY": {"character_anchor": "...", "environment_anchor": "...", "prompt": "...", "resolution": "1280x720"}}`.

Both integration options are supported by the output file generated at:
`c:\Projects\KieuStory\.agents\teamwork\spec_miner_m2_2\gemini_banana_ep01_registry.json`.
