Closes #315

Why this change

NoodleR posts ran novel-length with no image and no title, hinted-disclosure creators had no visual continuity with their source, new creators had no avatar/banner and creation could fail outright against non-schema-strict models, and generated images 404'd/403'd in the browser. See #315 for the full writeup and repro.

What changed

Affected package: noodle (NoodleR).

Generation

  • Per-format content caps enforced in the JSON response schema, not just prompt text (caption 320 / teaser 280 / announcement 1000 / long_form unchanged).
  • Every post now carries a title; imagePrompt is mandatory when images are enabled, with a body-derived fallback title if a model still omits one.
  • Fan/audience activity can react to locked posts (title only, no body — a reply can't restate paid content).
  • Hinted disclosure reworked into an "open secret": inherits appearance (avatar/gallery references) like open, posts tease the other life without naming it, never confirms or denies a guess.
  • Default NoodleR generation guidance made explicit by default, migrated for existing installs (their customizations are preserved; only the shipped default string is swapped).
  • Stage-profile draft parsing tolerates non-schema model answers (renamed/wrapped fields, missing handle) instead of failing the whole creator, with one corrective retry as last resort.

Artwork

  • New creators inherit avatar/banner from an open/hinted source; secret creators generate their own through the disclosure-aware image pipeline.
  • Scheduler-poll backfill fills in existing creators missing artwork, one image per tick.
  • New banner route + storage; avatar/banner lookups fall back across both prefixes so already-generated banners keep working.
  • Post/avatar/banner images now load through an authenticated fetch (they sit behind the package's X-Admin-Secret-gated media route, which a bare <img src> can't satisfy).
  • Tap-to-fullscreen for post/comment images in NoodleR.

Settings & limits

  • Prepared-post reserve preview (creator name + count) in publishing settings.
  • postsPerDay ceiling 24 → 100, default 4 → 8.

Creator wizard

  • Settings' "Add creator profiles" opens on the character list instead of a repurposed onboarding handoff screen, with a reachable "Fine-tune setup" toggle for the full four-step lane.
  • Fixed clamp-on-keystroke posts-per-day field, images toggle now matches its sibling switches, accent bands corrected to the modal's actual padding.

Package and security impact

  • Affected package IDs: noodle
  • Engine compatibility impact: none (manifest engine range unchanged)
  • New or changed permissions/entrypoints: none; one new server route (GET /noodler/accounts/:id/banner/:fileName), same auth gate as the existing avatar route
  • Restart, storage, update, or uninstall impact: existing NoodleR accounts gain a bannerUrl field in stored settings (additive); no migration required, backfill runs lazily on the scheduler poll

Validation

  • node scripts/validate-catalog.mjs passes locally
  • git diff --check passes locally
  • Rebuilt every affected manifest, payload, artifact, and catalog entry
  • Installed or updated the affected package through Marinara Engine
  • Checked supported modes, restart behavior, and uninstall cleanup
  • Read and followed CONTRIBUTING.md

Manual verification notes

  • npm run test:noodle:regressions (includes new noodler-stage-profile-draft.regression.ts) passes.
  • node scripts/validate-package-locales.mjs, node scripts/test-catalog-lanes.mjs pass.
  • Deployed the rebuilt package to a live dev Engine (direct docker-copy, not catalog) across the whole session and re-verified after each change:
    • Confirmed a generated post has a real title, a body under the format cap, and an attached image (previously null/absent).
    • Confirmed fan activity now targets a locked post (title-only in the prompt).
    • Confirmed a hinted creator's generated image reuses the source's appearance.
    • Confirmed all 4 existing creators backfilled both avatar and banner via the scheduler poll; avatarUrl/bannerUrl both return 200 image/png through the authenticated route.
    • Confirmed the settings "Add creator profiles" wizard opens on the character list, the fine-tune toggle round-trips, and the posts-per-day field accepts a typed two-digit value.
    • Confirmed postsPerDay accepts 8 and 100 via the settings endpoint and is reflected in /noodler/auto-post/status.

Documentation impact

  • No documentation changes needed

UI evidence (if applicable)

Verified interactively against a live dev Engine throughout the session (avatar/banner render, image lightbox, wizard screens); no screenshots captured.

Template check

  • I DID NOT read this template and provide the requested details.

…0.7)

NoodleR posts were novel-length with no image and no title; hinted
disclosure gave no visual continuity; new creators had no avatar or
banner and creation failed on non-schema model answers; images and
avatars 404'd in the browser because they sit behind the package's
authenticated media route; the settings creator wizard mirrored a
mid-onboarding screen that made no sense from settings.

Generation:
- Enforce per-format content caps in the JSON schema, not just the
  prompt (caption 320/teaser 280/announcement 1000 chars).
- Every post now carries a title; mandatory imagePrompt when images
  are enabled, with a fallback title derived from the post body when
  a model still omits one.
- Fan/audience activity can now react to locked posts (title only,
  no body, so a reply never restates paid content).
- Hinted disclosure reworked into an "open secret": same appearance
  (avatar/gallery references), posts that tease the other life
  without naming it, never confirm or deny a guess.
- Default NoodleR generation guidance is explicit by default, with a
  migration so existing installs move off the old wording instead of
  silently reverting a user's own customization.
- Bulk/manual stage-profile drafts tolerate non-schema model answers
  (renamed/wrapped fields, missing handle) instead of failing the
  whole creator, with one corrective retry as a last resort.

Artwork:
- New creators inherit an avatar/banner from an open or hinted
  source; secret creators generate their own through the disclosure-
  aware image pipeline. A scheduler-poll backfill fills in existing
  creators one image at a time.
- New banner route + banner storage; avatar/banner reads fall back
  across both prefixes so already-generated banners keep working.
- Post, avatar, and banner images now load through an authenticated
  fetch (they sit behind the package's X-Admin-Secret-gated media
  route, which a bare <img src> cannot satisfy) instead of 404ing.
- Tap-to-fullscreen for post/comment images in NoodleR.

Settings & limits:
- Prepared-post reserve preview (name + count) in publishing
  settings.
- postsPerDay ceiling raised 24 -> 100, default 4 -> 8.

Creator wizard:
- Settings' "Add creator profiles" now opens on the character list
  instead of a repurposed onboarding handoff screen, with a
  reachable two-way "Fine-tune setup" toggle for the full four-step
  lane.
- Fixed clamp-on-keystroke posts-per-day field (couldn't type a
  second digit), images toggle now matches its sibling switches, and
  the accent bands were mis-inset relative to the modal padding.

Rebuilt artifact/catalog for 1.0.7 and added/updated regression
coverage for the format, disclosure, and stage-profile-draft
contracts.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

NoodleR generation now enforces content and media requirements, supports tolerant profile parsing, resolves creator artwork by disclosure mode, serves authenticated media, expands locked-post activity, and updates creator setup and publishing interfaces.

Changes

NoodleR generation and profile contracts

Layer / File(s) Summary
Generation contracts and tolerant profile parsing
packages/noodle/src/engine/packages/server/src/services/noodle/*generation*, *response-format*, *stage-profile*, packages/noodle/src/engine/packages/server/src/services/storage/noodle.storage.ts, tests/noodler-content-formats.regression.ts, tests/noodle-generation-policy.regression.ts
Post formats now enforce bounded content, titles, and image prompts. Stage-profile responses normalize aliases, wrapped values, and derived handles, with one retry for invalid JSON.
Disclosure-aware creator artwork
packages/noodle/src/engine/packages/server/src/services/noodle/noodle-noodler-artwork.operation.ts, noodle-public-profiles.service.ts, noodle-noodler-avatar.ts, packages/noodle/src/engine/packages/server/src/routes/noodle.routes.ts, packages/noodle/src/engine/packages/server/src/services/storage/noodle.storage.ts
Creator artwork is inherited or generated according to disclosure mode. Avatar and banner paths, persistence, account creation, serving, and scheduler backfill are updated.
Locked-post audience activity
packages/noodle/src/engine/packages/server/src/services/noodle/noodle-noodler-fan-activity.service.ts, packages/noodle/src/engine/packages/server/src/services/noodle/noodler-disclosure.ts, packages/noodle/src/engine/packages/client/src/localization/locales/en.json
Audience activity includes locked posts while hiding locked bodies and exposing banner data in projections.
Authenticated media and lightbox UI
packages/noodle/src/engine/packages/client/src/hooks/use-noodler-media-src.ts, packages/noodle/src/engine/packages/client/src/components/noodle/NoodleShell.tsx, NoodleHome.tsx, NoodlePostCard.tsx, NoodleProfileSurface.tsx
Protected media loads through authenticated requests and object URLs. Post, reply, draft, avatar, and banner images support resolved rendering and lightbox display. Read-only profile hosts can omit banner upload controls.
Creator setup and publishing status
packages/noodle/src/engine/packages/client/src/components/noodle/NoodlerBulkCreatePanel.tsx, NoodlerPublishingSettings.tsx
The wizard updates setup lanes, editable posting pace, review settings, and styling. Publishing settings use shared limits and show prepared-post counts by creator.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to 2047d

The PR changes creator artwork inheritance and protected media handling, but a current-path gap can leave secret creators with inherited source artwork or cause hinted creators to receive generated artwork after backfill. Smaller edge cases also affect editing, retry reliability, title limits, and avatar fallbacks. The artwork-policy issue should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

339-354: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Show the initials fallback when authenticated avatar loading fails.

useNoodlerMediaSrc returns null while a protected avatar loads or after the fetch fails. This branch still renders the image container because it checks account.avatarUrl. The result is an empty avatar circle.

Check avatarSrc before rendering the image container. This preserves the existing initials fallback during loading and after a failed fetch.

Proposed fix

resolveNoodlerCreatorArtwork (used by both the wizard and manual/bulk
creator creation) excluded only "secret", so a hinted creator's
avatar and banner were the literal same image as its public source
account -- exactly what hinted disclosure promises never to expose.
The scheduler backfill already got this right (inherit for open
only, generate through the appearance-referenced pipeline
otherwise), but never revisited creators that already had artwork
set at creation time.

Narrow the gate to disclosureMode === "open". Hinted and secret both
fall through to generated artwork; hinted still looks like the same
person via the appearance/avatar reference images added earlier in
this branch, just never the same photo file.
- NoodleShell Avatar: gate the image container on the *resolved*
  avatarSrc, not the raw (possibly-unauthenticated) avatarUrl, so the
  initials fallback shows during the authenticated fetch and after a
  failed one instead of an empty ring.
- NoodlerPostCard editablePost: only strip the image when a render
  failure is confirmed (postImageSrc resolved and then errored), not
  merely because the authenticated fetch hasn't resolved yet. Editing
  a post the instant its card mounts no longer drops image controls.
- noodlerTitleFromContent: reserve a character for the trailing
  ellipsis so a clipped fallback title never exceeds
  NOODLER_FALLBACK_TITLE_MAX_LENGTH.
- Stage-profile draft retry: reuse the same completionOptions
  (sampling, max tokens, response format) as the first attempt
  instead of silently dropping temperature/topP on the corrective
  retry.
- Disclosure downgrade: the same gap the hinted-artwork fix closed at
  creation time also existed on update. A creator downgrading away
  from "open" kept an inherited banner forever (only avatarUrl was
  ever cleared), and the pre-save review warned about an existing
  avatar but never a banner. updateNoodlerStageProfile now clears an
  inherited banner the same way it already clears an inherited
  avatar, and noodlerDisclosureReviewReasons gained a "creator_banner"
  reason so a downgrade with a real banner surfaces for review.
- Tightened createNoodlerAccount's own bannerUrl/avatarUrl gate from
  "not secret" to "open" and fixed its stale comment, so the storage
  layer's policy matches resolveNoodlerCreatorArtwork even if some
  future caller stops routing through it.
- Added regression coverage for the locked-post fan-activity prompt
  (title-only, no content) and the tightened artwork-inheritance gate.

Rebuilt the noodle artifact/catalog for these changes.
