#2165 Writer-to-Screen Convergence

Objective

Turn the completed writer-to-screen architecture into a deterministic acceptance path using Afterglow as the canonical worked story.

Deterministic CI lane

For selected Afterglow fixture Blocks/Mini-Blocks, CI verifies without cloud spend:

• Story Card identity/order/lock state;
• written Block title/subtitle/source refs;
• Outline structural fidelity;
• Storyboard provenance and accepted/candidate/missing visual states;
• Previs dependency and timing/motion evidence where present;
• Scene Workspace Dialogue/Action/Shot/Audio identity/order/timing contracts;
• provider-neutral Production compilation;
• revision/staleness behavior from Creative revision propagation: upstream Block changes invalidate only dependent downstream work #2172;
• no manufactured completion.

The test checks continuity/provenance/completeness, never subjective artistic quality.

Human/WebMCP UAT lane

A Human can load Afterglow and navigate the same story at any stage:

STORY CARDS → WRITE → OUTLINE → STORYBOARD → PREVIS → SCENE WORKSPACE → PRODUCTION

At every stage the same project, Act/Sequence/Block/Mini-Block and title/subtitle remain visible and navigable.

Scope progression

Start with one reviewed Block as the executable end-to-end slice. Expand to coverage of all 24 Blocks / 96 Mini-Blocks as upstream mappings become reliable. Do not fake downstream artifacts to claim full coverage.

Exit criteria

1. One Afterglow Block passes the full deterministic chain end-to-end.
2. Full 24/96 structural/source fixture coverage is reportable.
3. Human/WebMCP can jump between stages without losing story identity.
4. CI remains Local/offline by default.
5. Provider-backed generation is separated into explicitly authorized UAT/Responsibility Runs.
6. Missing evidence is a truthful state, not a test failure patched with filler.
7. Regression evidence identifies the exact story address/stage that broke.
