12
- # rdc:regen-media
13
-
14
- Primary image-generation and asset-ingest workflow for Regen Media.
15
-
16
- ## Default Decision
17
-
18
- Use local Codex built-in `image_gen` with `gpt-image-2` first when all are true:
19
-
20
- - The caller is local Codex with `codex` CLI available.
21
- - `codex login status` reports ChatGPT login.
22
- - `codex features list` includes stable `image_generation`.
23
- - The task is generation, editing, re-rendering, or upscaling an image.
24
-
25
- Use regen-media MCP/API generation only when the local keyless Codex path is unavailable, when running in a remote/cloud session, or when the user explicitly asks for server-side generation.
26
-
27
- Use regen-media upload/registration after the image file exists and should become a managed media asset.
28
-
29
- ## Local Keyless gpt-image-2
30
-
31
- Preflight:
32
-
33
- ```bash
34
- codex login status
35
- codex features list
36
- ```
37
-
38
- Requirements for size to apply:
39
-
40
- 1. Use `--enable image_generation`.
41
- 2. Use `-c model=gpt-5.5`.
42
- 3. Instruct Codex: `use the built-in image_gen tool DIRECTLY; do not write API keys, scripts, or MCP`.
43
- 4. Name the target size in the instruction, such as `2048x1152`, `2048x2048`, or `3840x2160`.
44
-
45
- Text to image:
46
-
47
- ```bash
48
- echo "Use the built-in image_gen tool DIRECTLY at size 3840x2160 (4K). No API keys/scripts/MCP. Copy the PNG to output/imagegen/<name>.png and reply with only that path + pixel dims. Prompt: <dense art-directed prompt>." | codex exec --enable image_generation --dangerously-bypass-approvals-and-sandbox --cd "$PWD" -c model=gpt-5.5
49
- ```
50
-
51
- Image edit, re-render, or upscale:
52
-
53
- ```bash
54
- echo "Use the built-in image_gen tool DIRECTLY to re-render the ATTACHED image at size 3840x2160 (4K), preserving its composition, subject, palette, and lighting. No API keys/scripts/MCP. Save to output/imagegen/<name>-4k.png and reply with only the path + dims." | codex exec -i "input/source.png" --enable image_generation --dangerously-bypass-approvals-and-sandbox --cd "$PWD" -c model=gpt-5.5
55
- ```
56
-
57
- Notes:
58
-
59
- - The keyless path uses the local ChatGPT Pro OAuth in the Codex install, not `OPENAI_API_KEY`.
60
- - Output may land both in the requested path and under `~/.codex/generated_images/<session-id>/ig_*.png`.
61
- - Use a long timeout or background session; generation commonly takes 2-5 minutes.
62
- - Valid `gpt-image-2` sizes include `1024x1024`, `1536x1024`, `1024x1536`, `2048x2048`, `2048x1152`, `3840x2160`, `2160x3840`, and `auto`, subject to model constraints.
63
-
64
- ## Upload to Regen Media
65
-
66
- After generation, upload finished images through the project uploader when available:
67
-
68
- ```powershell
69
- powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File "{PROJECT_ROOT}/scripts/upload-to-media.ps1" "output/imagegen/<name>.png"
70
- ```
71
-
72
- The uploader obtains `regen-media-api` from clauth and posts to Regen Media. Never print credential values. If upload is not required, return the local artifact path and dimensions.
73
-
74
- ## Server-Side Fallback
75
-
76
- Use the deployed regen-media MCP/API generation path only when the local Codex image tool is unavailable or inappropriate. This path is credentialed, server-side, and may require an OpenAI/API key configured for the service. Treat it as fallback for generation, not the default.
77
-
78
- ## Procedure
79
-
80
- 1. Classify the task: `generate`, `edit`, `upscale`, or `upload`.
81
- 2. If `RDC_TEST=1`, print the selected path and planned commands without executing external calls.
82
- 3. For generation/edit/upscale, attempt the local keyless Codex preflight.
83
- 4. Build the Codex `exec` command with the requested size and explicit built-in `image_gen` instruction.
84
- 5. Save to `output/imagegen/` or a caller-provided path.
85
- 6. Verify the file exists and record pixel dimensions.
86
- 7. If the artifact should be managed, upload it to Regen Media and return the media URL/slug plus local path.
87
- 8. If local Codex is unavailable, use the server-side regen-media generation fallback and clearly say that it is the fallback path.
88
-
89
- ## Boundaries
90
-
91
- - Do not write or expose API keys.
92
- - Do not silently downgrade from local keyless `gpt-image-2` to server-side MCP/API generation.
93
- - Do not use prompt-only size hints; always set the Codex command and instruction shape above.
94
- - Do not run generation or upload in test mode.

12
- # rdc:release — Generic Release
13
-
14
- ## When to Use
15
-
16
- - The user explicitly asks to release, publish, promote, ship, tag, or bump a repo.
17
- - A package or app needs versioning plus verification.
18
- - A repo provides release metadata in `package.json`, `.rdc/release.json`, README release instructions, or CI config.
19
-
20
- Never release without explicit user authorization.
21
-
22
- ## Inputs
23
-
24
- - `rdc:release <repo>` — patch release by default.
25
- - `rdc:release <repo> <version>` — explicit version.
26
- - `rdc:release <repo> --patch|--minor|--major`
27
- - `rdc:release <repo> --dry-run`
28
-
29
- If `<repo>` is not resolvable from the current workspace, ask for its local path or GitHub slug.
30
-
31

32
-
33

54
- ```
55
-
56
- ## PUBLISH.md Status Gate (Step 0 — before any production-touching step)
57
-
58
- Before touching any production system, read `PUBLISH.md` from the app root and validate promotion eligibility.
59
-
60
- ```bash
61
- PUBLISH_MD="<monorepo_path>/PUBLISH.md"
62
- ```
63
-
64
- **Block promotion if ANY of the following are true:**
65
-
66
- 1. **PUBLISH.md is missing AND the app has a row in `app_deployments`** — emit warn and continue (during rollout period); becomes a hard block after Option A rollout is complete.
67
- 2. **PUBLISH.md exists AND `status` field is NOT `active`** — hard block regardless of rollout status.
68
- - `status: draft` → `BLOCKED: PUBLISH.md status=draft for <slug> — promote requires status=active`
69
- - `status: deprecated` → `BLOCKED: PUBLISH.md status=deprecated for <slug> — promote requires status=active`
70
- 3. **PUBLISH.md exists AND `environments` array does not include `prod`** → `BLOCKED: PUBLISH.md environments=[dev] for <slug> — prod must be declared before promotion`
71
- 4. **Any required surface field is missing** (`source_dir` or `path` absent on any surface) → `BLOCKED: PUBLISH.md surface <id> missing required field for <slug>`
72
-
73
- If blocked, abort immediately with the message above. Do NOT proceed to the version bump, commit, or any Coolify call.
74
-
75
- If PUBLISH.md is absent and app has no `app_deployments` row (library/package), skip this gate.
76
-
77
- ## Resolution Order
78
-
79
- 1. Current repo if `<repo>` is `.` or omitted and the user clearly refers to the current workspace.
80
- 2. Sibling directory matching `<repo>`.
81
- 3. GitHub slug `<owner>/<repo>`.
82
- 4. Repo-local `.rdc/release.json` if present.
83
- 5. Ask for the missing path or release mechanism.
84
-
85
- ## Generic Commands
86
-
87
- Use repo-local package tooling when available. Examples:
88
-
89
- ```bash
90
- npm version patch --no-git-tag-version
91
- npm test
92
- git add package.json package-lock.json
93
- git commit -m "chore(release): vA.B.C"
94
- git tag vA.B.C
95
- git push origin HEAD
96
- git push origin vA.B.C
97
- npm view <package-name> version
98
- ```
99
-
100
- Never use `--force` or bypass hooks. If a hook fails, fix the cause.
101
-
102
- ## ⛔ Standalone-repo staging guard (no `git add -A`)
103
-
104
- Standalone repos (`rdc-skills`, `clauth`, `build-corpus`) have NO pre-commit
105
- doc-sync/scope guard to catch contamination. In them:
106
-
107
- - **REFUSE `git add -A` / `git add .`.** Stage explicit declared paths only
108
- (`git add skills/<name>/SKILL.md package.json ...`).
109
- - Run `git status --porcelain` FIRST. If untracked files exist that are not part
110
- of the declared change, STOP — list or stash them; do not sweep them in.
111
- - **Pre-tag guard: refuse to tag if `git diff --cached --name-only` includes any
112

117
- ## ⛔ Cross-platform prepack + verify the PUBLISHED tarball
118
-
119
- - **Prepack must be OS-agnostic.** A bash-style `prepack` chain (`node A || true && node B || true && node stamp`) short-circuits under Windows **cmd.exe** (npm runs lifecycle scripts via cmd, not bash; `true` is not a cmd builtin and `||`/`&&` evaluate differently), so an appended step silently never runs (lesson 2026-06-13-release-windows-cmd-prepack-shortcircuit). When a prepack step must run cross-platform, use a node wrapper / `shx` / `cross-env` — never rely on `|| true` shell semantics that differ between cmd and bash.
120
- - **Validate the PUBLISHED artifact, not a local Windows `npm pack`.** A local Windows `npm pack` is NOT a faithful rehearsal of the CI (ubuntu/bash) publish. After publish, verify the real tarball:
121
- ```bash
122
- npm pack <pkg>@<version> # downloads the PUBLISHED tarball
123
- tar -xzOf <pkg>-<version>.tgz package/<file> # inspect the shipped file
124
- ```
125
- Confirm the published artifact carries what CI's prepack was supposed to stamp (e.g. `git_sha == tag commit`).

127
- ## RDC Skills Package
128
-
129
- For this package, prefer the npm installer binary after publish:
130
-
131
- ```bash
132
- npm install -g @lifeaitools/rdc-skills@latest
133
- rdc-skills-install --profile core
134
- ```
135
-
136
- Use `--profile lifeai` only on a workstation that intentionally has the LIFEAI project layout and services.
137
-
138
- ## Capture lessons (exit step)
139
-
140
- Before the final verdict line, follow `.rdc/guides/lessons-learned-spec.md` § Capture procedure. If this run taught something non-obvious — a first root-cause theory that turned out wrong, the documented/standard path not working, a missing gate or check that cost a round, or a surprising tool/infra behavior — write one `.rdc/lessons/<YYYY-MM-DD>-release-<short-slug>.md` per lesson using the schema in that spec. Set `scope` (`simple` | `architectural`) and `status` (`open`, or `applied` if you shipped the fix in this same run, with the commit linked). Commit the lesson file(s) on `develop` alongside the run's other commits, and note "N lessons captured" in your verdict/summary. A run that taught nothing writes nothing — absence is the default.

12
+ # rdc:release — Generic Release
13
+
14
+ ## When to Use
15
+
16
+ - The user explicitly asks to release, publish, promote, ship, tag, or bump a repo.
17
+ - A package or app needs versioning plus verification.
18
+ - A repo provides release metadata in `package.json`, `.rdc/release.json`, README release instructions, or CI config.
19
+
20
+ Never release without explicit user authorization.
21
+
22
+ ## Inputs
23
+
24
+ - `rdc:release <repo>` — patch release by default.
25
+ - `rdc:release <repo> <version>` — explicit version.
26
+ - `rdc:release <repo> --patch|--minor|--major`
27
+ - `rdc:release <repo> --dry-run`
28
+
29
+ If `<repo>` is not resolvable from the current workspace, ask for its local path or GitHub slug.
30
+

55
+
56
+ ## PUBLISH.md Status Gate (Step 0 — before any production-touching step)
57
+
58
+ Before touching any production system, read `PUBLISH.md` from the app root and validate promotion eligibility.
59
+
60
+ ```bash
61
+ PUBLISH_MD="<monorepo_path>/PUBLISH.md"
62
+ ```
63
+
64
+ **Block promotion if ANY of the following are true:**
65
+
66
+ 1. **PUBLISH.md is missing AND the app has a row in `app_deployments`** — emit warn and continue (during rollout period); becomes a hard block after Option A rollout is complete.
67
+ 2. **PUBLISH.md exists AND `status` field is NOT `active`** — hard block regardless of rollout status.
68
+ - `status: draft` → `BLOCKED: PUBLISH.md status=draft for <slug> — promote requires status=active`
69
+ - `status: deprecated` → `BLOCKED: PUBLISH.md status=deprecated for <slug> — promote requires status=active`
70
+ 3. **PUBLISH.md exists AND `environments` array does not include `prod`** → `BLOCKED: PUBLISH.md environments=[dev] for <slug> — prod must be declared before promotion`
71
+ 4. **Any required surface field is missing** (`source_dir` or `path` absent on any surface) → `BLOCKED: PUBLISH.md surface <id> missing required field for <slug>`
72
+
73
+ If blocked, abort immediately with the message above. Do NOT proceed to the version bump, commit, or any Coolify call.
74
+
75
+ If PUBLISH.md is absent and app has no `app_deployments` row (library/package), skip this gate.
76
+
77
+ ## Resolution Order
78
+
79
+ 1. Current repo if `<repo>` is `.` or omitted and the user clearly refers to the current workspace.
80
+ 2. Sibling directory matching `<repo>`.
81
+ 3. GitHub slug `<owner>/<repo>`.
82
+ 4. Repo-local `.rdc/release.json` if present.
83
+ 5. Ask for the missing path or release mechanism.
84
+
85
+ ## Generic Commands
86
+
87
+ Use repo-local package tooling when available. Examples:
88
+
89
+ ```bash
90
+ npm version patch --no-git-tag-version
91
+ npm test
92
+ git add package.json package-lock.json
93
+ git commit -m "chore(release): vA.B.C"
94
+ git tag vA.B.C
95
+ git push origin HEAD
96
+ git push origin vA.B.C
97
+ npm view <package-name> version
98
+ ```
99
+
100
+ Never use `--force` or bypass hooks. If a hook fails, fix the cause.
101
+
102
+ ## ⛔ Standalone-repo staging guard (no `git add -A`)
103
+
104
+ Standalone repos (`rdc-skills`, `clauth`, `build-corpus`) have NO pre-commit
105
+ doc-sync/scope guard to catch contamination. In them:
106
+
107
+ - **REFUSE `git add -A` / `git add .`.** Stage explicit declared paths only
108
+ (`git add skills/<name>/SKILL.md package.json ...`).
109
+ - Run `git status --porcelain` FIRST. If untracked files exist that are not part
110
+ of the declared change, STOP — list or stash them; do not sweep them in.
111
+ - **Pre-tag guard: refuse to tag if `git diff --cached --name-only` includes any
112
+ path outside the declared change set.** A broad add swept 4 pre-existing
113
+ untracked skill files into a tagged release that CI published before anyone
114
+ noticed (lesson 2026-06-08-release-git-add-all-swept-untracked-wip). Same
115
+ dirty-tree contamination class as a lockfile generated against a dirty tree.
116
+
117
+ ## ⛔ Cross-platform prepack + verify the PUBLISHED tarball
118
+
119
+ - **Prepack must be OS-agnostic.** A bash-style `prepack` chain (`node A || true && node B || true && node stamp`) short-circuits under Windows **cmd.exe** (npm runs lifecycle scripts via cmd, not bash; `true` is not a cmd builtin and `||`/`&&` evaluate differently), so an appended step silently never runs (lesson 2026-06-13-release-windows-cmd-prepack-shortcircuit). When a prepack step must run cross-platform, use a node wrapper / `shx` / `cross-env` — never rely on `|| true` shell semantics that differ between cmd and bash.
120
