#!/usr/bin/env node /** * External concept seed: the dice half of new-work's complete-direction and * established-world surface procedures. * * Before this script runs, the model retrieves cultural material and derives * a grounded shortlist of complete candidate directions from it (see * reference/new-work.md). Left alone, it then always builds its #1 — * and a single model's resonance ranking is deterministic, so every run * in a category ships the same one or two concepts. Measured: 30/35 * identical concepts across 16 prompt framings; the model cannot roll * its own dice. * * This script rolls them from outside, the same trick that made the * palette seed work: * - ASSIGNED INDEX: which entry of the model's own resonance-ordered * shortlist gets built. The assignment is the dice: it never chooses an * ungrounded ingredient, it only refuses the argmax rut. Attended runs * present the assigned direction and offer re-roll instead of a ranked * lineup, because a lineup hands selection back to a taste function * (model or user) and taste functions pick the safest card. * - CHALLENGERS (6): outside forms from concept-ingredients.json, two from * each challenger tier (graphic system, instrument language, atmosphere * world), fused with the product first (challenger supplies form and * system grammar, product supplies every fact, clarity wins conflicts), * then weighed against the derived candidates on audience identification * and product clarity. They win only when they beat the grounded list; * measured behavior is that they lose to strong cultural material and * win over thin categories, which is the intended shape. * - RE-ROLL (--reroll ): round n of the same base key. The script * recomputes what rounds 0..n-1 drew, excludes all of it, and rolls a * fresh assigned index, challengers, and compositions. One base key therefore * reproduces the entire chain of rounds. * - REGISTER (--register safer|bolder): the user's steering on the * familiar-to-bold axis, applied to a re-roll round. A register changes * only what this round instructs, never what it dealt: the same key and * reroll count reproduce the same deal whatever the register, so the * exclusion chain never forks. bolder presents the dealt foreign forms * as the whole hand (first-dealt leads, dice-assigned by deal order); * safer spends the dealt hand unseen and presents the familiar register, * the model's conventional grounded candidates plus the canon against * named competitors, the one sanctioned lineup of the model's own list. * Registers are user-requested, never pre-selected by the model. * - RATINGS: the reviewer's approval ratings weight the challenger draw * (3-star doubles the odds, 1-star sits out); the approved pool itself * is unchanged. * * Usage: * node scripts/concept-seed.mjs --scope direction --mode persuade * node scripts/concept-seed.mjs --scope surface --mode operate --from * node scripts/concept-seed.mjs --scope surface --mode operate --grain flow * node scripts/concept-seed.mjs --scope direction --candidate-count 6 * node scripts/concept-seed.mjs --scope direction --mode persuade --from --reroll 1 * node scripts/concept-seed.mjs --scope direction --mode persuade --from --reroll 1 --register bolder * node scripts/concept-seed.mjs --chosen --kind challenger --from --scope direction * node scripts/concept-seed.mjs --kind assigned --from --scope direction * * --grain names how much of the product is in play: product, flow, view, or * region. A docs site, an onboarding flow, a landing page and a data table are * four different amounts of product and want different compositions. Grain is a * preference: it deals matching compositions first and tops up from the rest of * the register, and the rendered seed says how many actually matched so a * borrowed structure is never mistaken for a supplied one. * * --platform names the delivery target (web, ios, android). Unlike grain this is * a hard filter: a composition that needs hover or a pointer does not degrade on * a phone, it stops working. --mode also gates which worlds are eligible, for * worlds whose reviewer marked them as carrying only some modes. * * --mode names the requested surface's mode (persuade, operate, read, * experience) so the appended compositions match its register of work; omitted, * they roll from the full approved pool. * * Challenger data resolves in order: a local catalog directory (the private * service repo, evals, and tests set IMPECCABLE_CATALOG_DIR), then the roll * API at impeccable.style, then a degraded assignment-only seed when both are * unavailable. The anonymous choice ping fires once per resolved attended * round on API-dealt rolls: --kind names which card class won (assigned, * pick, challenger, canon) so share metrics have a denominator, --chosen * carries the catalog id when a dealt challenger won, and --register rides * along when the round came from a steered hand. Grounded candidates' names * never leave the machine. DO_NOT_TRACK or IMPECCABLE_NO_TELEMETRY disables * the ping entirely. * * Env vars: * IMPECCABLE_CONCEPT_SEED — same as --from; for reproducible eval runs. * IMPECCABLE_CATALOG_DIR — directory holding the four catalog JSON files. * IMPECCABLE_API_URL — roll API base (default https://impeccable.style/api). * IMPECCABLE_NO_TELEMETRY — disables the choice ping (DO_NOT_TRACK also honored). */ import crypto from 'node:crypto'; import { dirname, join, resolve } from 'node:path'; import { fileURLToPath } from 'node:url'; import { approvedPoolRevision, readConceptCatalog, validateConceptCatalog, WELL_TIERS, } from './lib/concept-catalog.mjs'; import { readCompositionCatalog } from './lib/composition-catalog.mjs'; import { COMPOSITION_GRAINS, COMPOSITION_PLATFORMS, runSyncSelection, selectApprovedChallengers as selectApprovedChallengersCore, selectApprovedCompositions as selectApprovedCompositionsCore, } from './lib/roll-selection.mjs'; const here = dirname(fileURLToPath(import.meta.url)); // Data resolution order: a local catalog (the private service repo, evals, and // tests point IMPECCABLE_CATALOG_DIR at one), then the roll API, then a // degraded assignment-only seed.
