# Prompt Architecture Improvement Plan

This is a working research note for organizing the prompt builder around the
routing map in `docs/prompt-pool-routing-map.md`.

## Current Branch Additions

The current branch adds two major surfaces:

- `SxCP Krea2 Resolution Selector` in `node_seed_resolution.py`, with README
  notes.
- Expanded hardcore interaction/manual/action pools in
  `categories/sexual_poses.json`,
  `categories/expression_composition_pools.json`, `prompt_builder.py`, and
  `krea_formatter.py`.

The map audit currently sees:

- 15 sexual pose subcategories.
- 94 sexual pose item templates.
- 23 expression pools.
- 24 composition pools.
- A new Krea2 resolution node with width/height/API aspect outputs.

## Architectural Finding

The project has a good functional map, but ownership is still mixed inside large
files:

- `prompt_builder.py` owns selection, character resolution, role graph logic,
  camera adaptation, pair assembly, and some final string cleanup.
- `krea_formatter.py` owns metadata parsing, cast naturalization, sexual action
  rewriting, POV rewriting, clothing cleanup, camera preservation, fallback
  parsing, and final prose assembly.
- `sdxl_formatter.py` owns tag assembly and style/quality presets.
- `caption_naturalizer.py` owns training-caption prose.
- Category JSON files own scalable pool content, but Python still owns several
  compatibility and role-graph decisions.

The biggest maintainability risk is not the number of pools. The risk is that
selection, semantic rewriting, and final text hygiene are too interleaved. When a
prompt has wrong text, it is easy to patch the wrong layer.

## First Refactor Boundary

Generic text hygiene now has one home:

- `prompt_hygiene.py`

It should only handle route-agnostic cleanup:

- whitespace and punctuation normalization;
- empty field-label removal;
- repeated trigger prefix cleanup;
- duplicate comma-list item removal;
- adjacent duplicate sentence cleanup;
- simple dangling connector cleanup.

It must not make semantic decisions such as sexual action positioning, POV
geometry, clothing state, or model-specific tag weighting. Those stay in the
route-specific owner. It also preserves ordinary words such as `composition`
inside normal sentences; empty field-label cleanup is limited to standalone
labels.

Shared hardcore phrase cleanup now has one home:

- `hardcore_text_cleanup.py`

It owns environment-anchor normalization used by both prompt generation and
Krea formatting, including malformed surface joins and bed/sheet/couch anchors
that should become model-neutral body-support language. It must stay
route-neutral: no Krea prose, no SDXL tags, and no category selection logic.

Current integration points:

- `prompt_builder.build_prompt`
- `prompt_builder.build_insta_of_pair`
- `krea_formatter.format_krea2_prompt`
- `sdxl_formatter.format_sdxl_prompt`
- `caption_naturalizer.naturalize_caption`

## Target Organization

### Generation Layer

Owner: `prompt_builder.py` plus `categories/*.json`.

Keep here:

- category/subcategory/item selection;
- seed axis routing;
- character slot/profile resolution;
- scene/expression/composition pool selection;
- role graph creation from structured category axes;
- metadata row construction.

Move or isolate later:

- pair assembly and camera mutation helpers that still live in
  `prompt_builder.py`.

Already isolated:

- JSON category loading, subcategory normalization, named scene/expression/
  composition pool loading, cast compatibility filtering, exact subcategory
  lookup, and inheritance-based pool merging live in `category_library.py`.
- hardcore configured-cast role graph generation lives in
  `hardcore_role_graphs.py`; `prompt_builder.py` selects item/axis metadata and
  then asks that module for the source role graph.
- fallback role graph wording lives in `hardcore_role_fallback.py`, covering
  solo rows, women-only rows, men-only rows, mixed group fallbacks, and support
  partner sentences.
- interaction-style role graph wording lives in `hardcore_role_interaction.py`,
  covering foreplay, manual stimulation, body worship, clothing transitions,
  dominant guidance, camera performance, aftercare, and group coordination.
- outercourse-specific role graph wording has started moving into action-family
  modules; `hardcore_role_outercourse.py` owns boobjob, testicle-sucking,
  penis-licking, handjob, and footjob body geometry.
- oral-specific role graph wording lives in `hardcore_role_oral.py`, including
  direct POV viewer phrasing for kneeling, face-sitting, sixty-nine,
  edge-supported, side-lying, chair, standing, and reclining oral positions.
- penetration-specific role graph wording lives in
  `hardcore_role_penetration.py`, covering the main vaginal penetration
  position families while Krea POV rewriting keeps first-person geometry stable.
- anal/double-contact role graph wording lives in `hardcore_role_anal.py`,
  covering rear-entry anal variants and front/back double-contact source
  geometry.
- climax role graph wording lives in `hardcore_role_climax.py`, covering
  ejaculation aftermath placement for face/body/ass, lap, open-thigh,
  side-lying, and front/back group layouts.
- camera option schema, orbit/Qwen translation, config parsing, camera
  directive text, and camera caption text live in `camera_config.py`;
  camera-scene prose and coworking composition adaptation live in
  `scene_camera_adapters.py`; `prompt_builder.py` still owns row mutation.
- shared hardcore environment-anchor cleanup lives in
  `hardcore_text_cleanup.py` and normalizes malformed pool joins before metadata
  reaches formatter routes.
- shared hardcore action metadata lives in `hardcore_action_metadata.py`; custom
  rows now emit `action_family`, `position_family`, `position_key`, and
  `position_keys` so formatter routing and debugging do less keyword guessing.
  Krea, SDXL, and training-caption routes consume these fields when present.

### Pair / Adapter Layer

Owner today: `build_insta_of_pair`.

Keep here:

- pair route sequencing;
- top-level continuity option handoff between row, camera, clothing, and output
  adapters.

Already isolated:

- Insta/OF option normalization, softcore category/outfit/pose pools, partner
  outfit pools, clothing-continuity labels, negatives, and hardcore cast count
  policy live in `pair_options.py`; `prompt_builder.py` keeps public delegate
  wrappers for existing nodes and tests.
- soft/hard row creation lives in `pair_rows.py`, including softcore expression
  override resolution, Woman A slot context application, soft outfit/pose
  overrides, POV row fields, and hardcore row creation.
- pair-level cast/display context lives in `pair_cast.py`, including shared
  descriptors, same-cast softcore descriptor text, partner styling, platform and
  level labels, softcore cast presence text, and hard cast summary text.
- pair-level camera routing lives in `pair_camera.py`, including soft/hard
  camera config selection, same-as-softcore mode, camera-detail override,
  same-room hard scene continuity, camera-aware composition mutation, POV camera
  suppression, and row/root camera metadata synchronization.
- pair-level hardcore clothing continuity lives in `pair_clothing.py`,
  including action-aware body-access flags, conflicting outfit-piece cleanup,
  default visible-men clothing, character-clothing override handling, and final
  root clothing-state assembly.
- final pair output assembly lives in `pair_output.py`, including soft/hard
  prompt strings, trigger preservation, negatives, captions, and root metadata
  shape.

### Krea2 Formatter Path

Owner: `krea_formatter.py`.

Keep here:

- Krea prose style;
- Krea route orchestration;
- camera-scene preservation;
- fallback text parsing.

Already isolated:

- `krea_cast.py` owns cast descriptor parsing, cast prose, label joining, and
  natural label replacement for formatter routes.
- `krea_clothing.py` owns clothing-state cleanup and action-aware body-access
  wording for formatter routes.
- `krea_action_context.py` owns shared action-family predicates, axis context
  text, climax detection, and detail-density normalization used by action and
  POV formatter routes.
- `hardcore_action_metadata.py` owns shared action-family constants,
  normalization, and inference used by the builder and Krea formatter route.
- `krea_pov.py` owns POV labels, POV label filtering, and POV camera/composition
  support text.
- `krea_detail.py` owns generic detail-clause splitting, deduping, joining, and
  density limiting for Krea action prose.
- `krea_action_positions.py` owns non-POV pose anchors, body-arrangement text,
  rear-entry detection, and action-position phrasing.
- `krea_action_details.py` owns non-climax item/detail cleanup for foreplay,
  outercourse, oral, penetration, toy/double-contact, and anchor dedupe paths.
- `krea_action_climax.py` owns climax-specific role/detail cleanup and aftermath
  view dedupe.
- `krea_action_dispatch.py` owns non-POV role normalization, action-family
  classification, and family-specific detail cleanup.
- `krea_actions.py` owns final non-POV hardcore action sentence assembly.
- `krea_pov_actions.py` owns POV hardcore action sentence rewriting,
  first-person body geometry, and selected-position-axis priority before loose
  context fallback.

Improve later:

- extend SDXL and caption routes to optionally consume `action_family` /
  `position_family` when ordering tags or caption clauses;
- add route-level smoke fixtures for representative metadata rows;

### SDXL Formatter Path

Owner: `sdxl_formatter.py`.

Keep here:

- trigger behavior;
- style and quality presets;
- tag ordering;
- weighted explicit tags;
- negative-prompt assembly.
- metadata-family tag hints from `action_family`, `position_family`, and
  `position_keys`.

Improve later:

- move presets into data dictionaries or JSON so adding styles does not require
  editing formatter logic;
- add formatter profiles for Pony, SDXL photo, and flat vector;
- make fallback cleanup use the shared field-label inventory.

### Naturalizer Path

Owner: `caption_naturalizer.py`.

Keep here:

- natural sentence caption assembly;
- training-caption trigger behavior;
- style-tail policy.
- metadata-family action labels from `action_family` and `position_family`.

Improve later:

- share more metadata readers with Krea without sharing Krea prose;
- add a `caption_profile` option for concise/dense LoRA caption styles.

### Category JSON Path

Owner: `categories/*.json`.

Keep here:

- scalable prompt pool content;
- named scene/expression/composition pools;
- item templates and axes;
- direct category-specific wording.

Improve later:

- introduce optional `family` and `action_type` fields on item templates so
  Python filters do less keyword guessing;
- add `formatter_hint` fields only where needed, not globally;
- keep `tools/prompt_map_audit.py` passing; it now checks referenced
  expression/composition/scene pools and item-template axes.

### Node / UI Path

Owner: `__init__.py`, `node_builder.py`, `node_seed_resolution.py`,
`node_camera.py`, `node_character.py`, `node_hardcore_position.py`,
`node_formatter.py`, `node_insta.py`, `node_route_config.py`,
`node_profile_filter.py`, `loop_nodes.py`, `web/*.js`.

Keep here:

- ComfyUI node input/output declarations;
- widget behavior;
- button actions;
- dynamic input slots.
- direct and config-driven builder node declarations in `node_builder.py`.
- seed and resolution utility node declarations in `node_seed_resolution.py`.
- camera utility node declarations in `node_camera.py`.
- character pool, slot, and profile node declarations in `node_character.py`.
- hardcore position pool/filter node declarations in
  `node_hardcore_position.py`.
- caption/Krea2/SDXL formatter node declarations in `node_formatter.py`.
- Insta/OF options and prompt-pair node declarations in `node_insta.py`.
- route/category/location/composition/cast config node declarations in
  `node_route_config.py`.
- profile/filter/ethnicity-list node declarations in `node_profile_filter.py`.

Already isolated:

- direct and config-driven prompt builder nodes live in `node_builder.py`, with
  registration maps imported by `__init__.py`.
- seed axis salts/aliases, seed mode choices, lock builders, seed config
  parsing, row seed math, and deterministic axis RNG live in `seed_config.py`;
  seed/global-seed/seed-locker nodes live in `node_seed_resolution.py`, with
  registration maps imported by `__init__.py`.
- SDXL/Krea2 resolution utility nodes live in `node_seed_resolution.py`, with
  registration maps imported by `__init__.py`.
- camera/orbit/Qwen translator utility nodes live in `node_camera.py`, using
  `camera_config.py` for option lists and JSON builders, with registration maps
  imported by `__init__.py`.
- hair, age/body/eyes/clothing pools, manual character details, character
  slots, and profile save/load nodes live in `node_character.py`, with
  registration maps imported by `__init__.py`.
- hardcore position pool and action filter nodes live in
  `node_hardcore_position.py`, with registration maps imported by
  `__init__.py`.
- caption naturalizer, Krea2 formatter, and SDXL formatter nodes live in
  `node_formatter.py`, with registration maps imported by `__init__.py`.
- Insta/OF options and dual prompt-pair nodes live in `node_insta.py`, with
  registration maps imported by `__init__.py`.
- category preset, location/composition pool, location theme, and cast config
  utility nodes live in `node_route_config.py`, with registration maps imported
  by `__init__.py`.
- generation profile, advanced filter, and ethnicity list utility nodes live in
  `node_profile_filter.py`, with registration maps imported by `__init__.py`.

Improve later:

- split remaining large node classes into files by family;
- keep node display names, return names, and docs in sync through the audit
  helper;
- add small endpoint tests for profile/accumulator/index-switch routes.

## Path-Specific Improvements

### Prompt Builder

Near-term:

- Add final row hygiene already done through `prompt_hygiene.py`.
- Add a metadata smoke checker for representative generated rows and static
  formatter fixtures through `tools/prompt_smoke.py`.
- Normalize every row with one function before JSON serialization.

Medium-term:

- Extract category loading and role graph logic.
- Convert keyword-heavy interaction filtering to template metadata.

### Insta/OF Pair

Near-term:

- Normalize pair metadata with one helper.
- Confirm pair prompts, captions, and soft/hard rows carry the same sanitized
  scene/camera/clothing fields.
- Keep same-room pair continuity synchronized in both assembled prompt text and
  `hardcore_row.scene_text`; `tools/prompt_smoke.py` covers this drift case.

Medium-term:

- Make pair camera and clothing phases explicit subfunctions.
- Add smoke fixtures for same-cast, POV man, explicit nude, and different-camera
  modes.

### Krea2

Near-term:

- Add final prose hygiene already done through `prompt_hygiene.py`.
- Add smoke coverage through `tools/prompt_smoke.py` for metadata-driven Krea2
  formatting across built-in rows, hardcore rows, same-cast pairs, and POV
  pairs.
- Cover camera-scene preservation through `tools/prompt_smoke.py` for single
  rows, split soft/hard pair cameras, and POV camera-scene routing.
- Cover config-node routing through `tools/prompt_smoke.py` for category, cast,
  generation profile, seed lock, camera, location theme, and composition config.
- Cover close foreplay and POV penetration Krea routes so raw labels, invalid
  surface grammar, normal third-person camera text, and composition punctuation
  drift are caught.
- Cover POV outercourse, oral, penetration, anal, and front/back double-contact
  Krea routes so selected position geometry stays synchronized with metadata.
- Cover generated climax routes through Krea, SDXL, and natural caption outputs
  so source aftermath placement and formatter details cannot drift apart.
- Cover generated interaction routes through Krea, SDXL, and natural caption
  outputs so source contact/guidance/presentation wording stays metadata-driven.
- Cover generated fallback role routes through Krea, SDXL, and natural caption
  outputs so solo and same-sex paths do not remain untested edge behavior.

Medium-term:

- Dispatch action rewriting by action family.
- Continue splitting remaining Krea semantic helpers into smaller modules.

### SDXL

Near-term:

- Add final tag hygiene already done through `prompt_hygiene.py`.
- Add smoke tests for trigger preservation and duplicate tag removal through
  `tools/prompt_smoke.py`.

Medium-term:

- Make style/quality presets data-driven.

### Naturalizer

Near-term:

- Add final prose hygiene already done through `prompt_hygiene.py`.
- Verify training captions keep trigger exactly once through
  `tools/prompt_smoke.py`.

Medium-term:

- Add caption profiles for training and browsing use cases.

### Camera / Scene

Near-term:

- Keep Qwen/orbit as camera source.
- Keep scene-camera adapters scoped by location family.
- Use the memory note in
  `/home/ethanfel/.codex/memories/scene-camera-system.md` when editing POV.
- Keep `scene_camera_adapters.py` as the owner for location-aware camera prose;
  add new location families there one at a time.

Medium-term:

- Build new adapters one location family at a time.

## Invariants To Preserve

- Metadata is the preferred formatter input.
- Prompt Builder should output structured rows even if raw prompt text is rough.
- Krea should fix prose and semantic action readability, not category selection.
- SDXL should produce tag-style output and preserve model triggers as requested.
- Naturalizer should output training-friendly captions without changing the
  selected content.
- Generic cleanup belongs in `prompt_hygiene.py`; semantic cleanup belongs in
  the owning route.

## Recommended Next Passes

1. Continue splitting remaining `__init__.py` node classes by family after
   behavior is covered by smoke checks.
2. Continue splitting the internals of `hardcore_role_graphs.py` by action
   family once generated edge cases are covered by smoke fixtures.
3. Add more route-level smoke fixtures for generated edge cases that are not
   covered by the current static Krea/SDXL/caption metadata fixtures.
