-# comic-odin (port skeleton)
+# comic-odin
 
-This is the Odin-native skeleton for porting the current React/TypeScript comic app.
+Native desktop application for comic creation, powered by Odin and Raylib.
 
-## Goals
+## Features
 
-- Keep domain logic in `src/core` (types, workflow, layout, bubble logic)
+- **Story & Script**: Generate comic scripts locally or via DeepSeek AI
-- Keep external integrations in `src/adapters` (DeepSeek, fal.ai, storage, export)
+- **Panel Generation**: Create panel images locally or via fal.ai
-- Keep app entry in `src/app`
+- **Layout Engine**: Auto-layout pages with pattern-based cell assignment
-- Add tests as domain logic is ported
+- **Bubble Editor**: Add, edit, and auto-place speech bubbles per panel
+- **Export**: Output to PDF, PNG sequence, or CBZ comic book archive
+- **Project Persistence**: Save/load projects as `.comic.json`
+- **Native GUI**: Full Raylib-based desktop interface with dark theme
+- **CLI/TUI**: Terminal-based interactive mode for headless workflows
 
-## Proposed layout
+## Quick Start
-
-- `src/app` - app entrypoint and composition root

+# comic-odin GUI User Guide
+
+## Getting Started
+
+### Launching
+```bash
+cd odin
+./bin/comic_odin gui
+```
+The application launches in borderless fullscreen on your primary monitor.
+
+### First Run Workflow
+1. Enter a **Story Idea** (or leave default)
+2. Click **Generate Script Local** (or press `F5`)
+3. Click **Generate Panels Local** (or press `F6`)
+4. Click **Layout Pages** (or press `F7`)
+5. Navigate to **Bubbles** screen to add speech bubbles
+6. Click **Export** (or press `F8`) to produce your comic
+
+## Screens
+
+### 1. Story
+Enter your comic concept: idea, genre, and target audience. These fields seed script generation.
+
+### 2. Script
+View generated script pages. Navigate pages with `< Pg` / `Pg >` buttons or `Ctrl+[` / `Ctrl+]`.
+
+**Script Source Toggle**: Switch between `Local` (deterministic) and `DeepSeek` (AI-generated) modes. DeepSeek requires `DEEPSEEK_API_KEY` environment variable.
+
+### 3. Characters
+Character editor is scaffolded. Characters are auto-populated from script generation.
+
+### 4. Panels
+View generated panel images and their metadata (dimensions, seed, source). Navigate with `< Pn` / `Pn >` or `Ctrl+[` / `Ctrl+]`. Use **Regenerate** to re-roll a specific panel.
+
+### 5. Layout
+View layout wireframe previews with validation badges:
+- **Cov**: Page coverage percentage (green if 80-105%)
+- **Bind**: Missing panel bindings (green if 0)
+- **Bounds**: Cells outside valid range (green if 0)
+
+Navigate pages with `< Ly` / `Ly >` or `Ctrl+[` / `Ctrl+]`. Use **Regen** to cycle the layout pattern.
+
+### 6. Bubbles
+Speech bubble editor. Select a panel using `< Pn` / `Pn >` or `Ctrl+[` / `Ctrl+]`, then:
+- **Add**: Create a new bubble (Normal type, placeholder text)
+- **Auto Place**: Generate bubbles from script dialogue automatically
+- **Type selector**: Change bubble type (Normal/Thought/Shout/Whisper/Narration/SFX)
+- **x button**: Delete the selected bubble
+
+Use mouse wheel to cycle through panels on the current page.
+
+### 7. Export
+Choose format (PDF/PNG/CBZ), set the export path, and click Export. The path extension auto-matches the selected format.
+
+### 8. Community
+Placeholder for future sharing/collaboration features.
+
+## Keyboard Shortcuts
+
+### Navigation

+| `Tab` | Next input field |
+| `F1-F4` | Focus idea/genre/audience/export path |
+| `F11` | Focus local pages |
+| `F12` | Focus project path |
+| `Ctrl+[` / `Ctrl+]` | Previous/next page or panel |
+
+### Actions
+| Shortcut | Action |
+|----------|--------|
+| `F5` | Generate Script |
+| `F6` | Generate Panels |
+| `F7` | Layout Auto |
+| `F8` | Export |
+| `F9` | Next Step |
+| `F10` | Auto-All |
+| `Ctrl+S` | Save project |
+| `Ctrl+O` | Open project |
+| `Ctrl+E` | Export |
+| `Ctrl+G` | Toggle script source |
+
+### Utilities
+| Shortcut | Action |
+|----------|--------|
+| `/` | Toggle help overlay |
+| `Esc` | Close overlays |
+| `Ctrl+L` | Clear action log |
+| `Ctrl+Shift+A` | Toggle autosave |
+| `Ctrl+Backspace` | Clear selected field |
+| `Ctrl+V` | Paste into selected field |
+
+### Destructive Actions (require Shift when dirty)
+| Shortcut | Action |
+|----------|--------|
+| `Ctrl+N` | Reset project |
+| `Ctrl+Shift+N` | Force reset (when dirty) |
+| `Ctrl+Shift+O` | Force open (when dirty) |
+
+## Autosave
+
+Autosave is enabled by default with a 20-second interval. Adjust via:
+- **Autosave** button to toggle on/off
+- **Interval(s)** field to set seconds
+- **15/30/60** preset buttons
+- `Ctrl+-` / `Ctrl+=` to decrease/increase by 5s
+
+## Path Management
+
+### Quick-Fix Buttons
+- **Fix Exp Ext**: Normalize export path extension to match format
+- **Fix Proj Ext**: Normalize project path to `.comic.json`
+- **Proj From Exp**: Derive project path from export directory
+- **Exp From Proj**: Derive export path from project directory
+
+### Status Indicators
+- **P** (red): Project path needs normalization → click to fix
+- **E** (red): Export path needs normalization → click to fix
+- **PE** (red): Fix both paths at once
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### "Export blocked: generate panels + layout first"
+You must complete the pipeline in order: Script → Panels → Layout → Export.
+
+### "DeepSeek key missing"
+Set the `DEEPSEEK_API_KEY` environment variable before launching, or use Local script generation.
+
+### Project won't save
+Check that the project path ends with `.comic.json`. Use **Fix Proj Ext** to normalize.
+
+### GUI looks cramped
+The application adapts to screen size. On heights below 860px, non-essential hints are hidden. Resize the window or use a larger display.
+
+### Memory warnings in tests
+Some test warnings about string leaks are known (literal strings vs owned strings). These do not affect runtime behavior.

+| **P2 items** | 5/5 complete (all done) |
+
+## Critical Production Gaps (P0 - Must Fix Before Release)
+
+### P0-1: PDF Export — Replace Text Placeholder with Real Page Rendering
+**Current**: Writes a minimal text-only PDF with panel count. No images embedded.
+**Target**: Canvas-like page composition with panel images positioned per layout cells.
+
+**Implementation plan**:
+1. Add `stb_image.h` binding (or use existing Odin image loading) to load panel images from URLs/local paths
+2. Create `render_page_to_image` proc that:
+   - Creates a blank canvas at page dimensions (from `Page_Size`)
+   - Fills white background
+   - For each panel: loads image, calculates pixel position from `Layout_Cell` fractions, draws with gutter margins, draws black border
+3. Integrate with existing PDF writer or switch to a proper PDF library (e.g., `harfbuzz` + `freetype` for text, or use `wkhtmltopdf`/`weasyprint` subprocess like current CBZ zip approach)
+4. Add DPI scaling (default 300 DPI)
+5. Test: Export a 4-page comic, verify PDF opens in viewer with correct panel positions
+
+**Files to modify**: `src/adapters/export.odin`
+**New files**: `src/adapters/image_loading.odin`
+**Estimated effort**: 2-3 days
+
+### P0-2: Character Consistency — IP-Adapter Reference Images
+**Current**: `generate_panel_image` ignores character reference images (`_ = characters`).
+**Target**: Pass character reference image URLs to fal.ai API for consistent character appearance.
+
+**Implementation plan**:
+1. Add `reference_images: []string` and `reference_image_strength: f32` to fal.ai request body
+2. Collect `character.reference_image_url` for all characters in `panel.characters_present`
+3. Pass `reference_image_strength = 0.65` (the "sweet spot" from TypeScript)
+4. Add `reference_images` field to `Character` struct (already has `reference_image_url`)
+5. Store character reference images in `Comic_State` as a map: `character_ref_images: map[string]string` (character_id → URL)
+6. Test: Generate panels with 2+ characters, verify visual consistency across panels
+
+**Files to modify**: `src/adapters/fal.odin`, `src/core/types.odin`, `src/gui/actions.odin`
+**Estimated effort**: 1-2 days
+
+### P0-3: Shot-Type-Based Image Sizing
+**Current**: All panels generated at fixed 1024x1024.
+**Target**: Map shot types to appropriate aspect ratios for better composition.
+
+**Implementation plan**:
+1. Add `get_image_size_for_shot_type` proc mapping:
+   - `establishing`, `wide`, `aerial` → `landscape_16_9`
+   - `medium`, `over-shoulder` → `landscape_4_3`
+   - `close-up` → `portrait_4_3`
+   - `extreme-close-up` → `square_hd`
+2. Pass `image_size` parameter to fal.ai request
+3. Store actual returned dimensions in `Panel_Image.width/height`
+4. Test: Generate panels with varied shot types, verify different aspect ratios
+
+**Files to modify**: `src/adapters/fal.odin`, `src/core/layout.odin`
+**Estimated effort**: 0.5 days
+
+### P0-4: Art Style Keyword Mapping
+**Current**: Raw `art_style` string passed to prompts.
+**Target**: 8 defined art styles with detailed keyword expansions.
+
+**Implementation plan**:
+1. Add `Art_Style_Key` enum: `Manga, Western_Comic, Pixel_Art, Watercolor, Noir, Chibi, Sketch, Cyberpunk`
+2. Add `ART_STYLE_KEYWORDS` constant map with detailed prompt keywords per style
+3. Add `QUALITY_MODIFIER` constant: `"high quality, detailed, clean lines, vibrant colors, professional illustration, best quality, masterpiece"`
+4. Add `get_style_keywords` proc to expand art style into prompt prefix
+5. Update `build_local_panel_images` and `generate_panel_image` to prepend style keywords
+6. Test: Generate panels with each art style, verify prompt includes correct keywords
+
+**Files to modify**: `src/core/types.odin`, `src/adapters/fal.odin`, `src/gui/local_helpers.odin`
+**Estimated effort**: 1 day
+
+### P0-5: Negative Prompts
+**Current**: No negative prompts in image generation.
+**Target**: Add negative prompts to improve output quality.
+
+**Implementation plan**:
+1. Add `negative_prompt: string` to fal.ai request body
+2. Character reference negative: `"blurry, low quality, distorted face, extra limbs, bad anatomy, deformed, watermark, signature"`
+3. Panel negative: `"blurry, low quality, distorted face, extra limbs, bad anatomy, deformed, watermark, signature, text, speech bubble"`
+4. Test: Generate panels with and without negative prompts, compare quality
+
+**Files to modify**: `src/adapters/fal.odin`
+**Estimated effort**: 0.5 days
+
+## High Priority Gaps (P1 - Important for Quality)
+
+### P1-1: Multi-Angle Character Sheet Generation
+**Current**: Single reference portrait only.
+**Target**: 4-angle character sheet (front, 3/4, profile, back) with IP-Adapter consistency.
+
+**Implementation plan**:
+1. Add `generate_character_sheet` proc that iterates 4 poses sequentially
+2. First pose generates anchor image; subsequent poses use first image as `reference_images` with `reference_image_strength: 0.65`
+3. Poses: front-facing, three-quarter, side profile, back view
+4. Store sheet URLs in `Character.character_sheet_urls`
+5. Add GUI button "Generate Character Sheet" on Characters screen
+6. Test: Generate sheet for a character, verify 4 distinct but consistent images
+
+**Files to modify**: `src/adapters/fal.odin`, `src/gui/actions.odin`, `src/gui/summary_views.odin`
+**Estimated effort**: 2 days
+
+### P1-2: Emotion Enum + Structured Dialogue
+**Current**: `emotion` is a free-form string in `Dialogue`.
+**Target**: Proper `Emotion` enum with 6 values.
+
+**Implementation plan**:
+1. Add `Emotion` enum: `Happy, Sad, Angry, Surprised, Neutral, Determined`
+2. Update `Dialogue` struct: `emotion: Emotion`
+3. Update DeepSeek response parser to map string emotions to enum
+4. Update bubble auto-placement to consider emotion (e.g., Shout for Angry, Whisper for Sad)
+5. Update JSON serialization/deserialization
+6. Test: Generate script, verify emotion enum populated correctly
+
+**Files to modify**: `src/core/types.odin`, `src/adapters/deepseek.odin`, `src/core/bubble.odin`
+**Estimated effort**: 0.5 days
+
+### P1-3: Character Description Parser
+**Current**: Character descriptions are free-form text.
+**Target**: Parse natural language descriptions into structured `Character_Prompt_Template`.
+
+**Implementation plan**:
+1. Add 10 regex extraction procs (age, gender, hair color, hair style, eye color, skin tone, body type, outfit, accessories, distinguishing features)
+2. Add `parse_description_to_template` proc
+3. Add `extract_color_palette` proc
+4. Add GUI helper: "Parse Description" button on Characters screen
+5. Test: Parse "25-year-old female, black long hair, blue eyes, fair skin, slim build, wearing a red dress, glasses, scar on cheek" → structured template
+
+**Files to modify**: `src/core/character_prompt.odin`, `src/gui/actions.odin`
+**New files**: `src/core/character_parser.odin`
+**Estimated effort**: 1-2 days
+
+### P1-4: CBZ/PNG Export — Use Real Image Rendering Instead of Raw Copies
+**Current**: CBZ/PNG exports copy raw panel images without page composition.
+**Target**: Render full pages with panels positioned per layout (same as PDF).
+
+**Implementation plan**:
+1. Reuse `render_page_to_image` from P0-1
+2. For CBZ: render each page to PNG, add to zip with `page_XXX.jpg` naming
+3. For PNG: same but output as individual PNG files in a zip
+4. Add `ComicInfo.xml` with proper metadata (Title, Series, Count, etc.)
+5. Test: Export CBZ, open in comic reader (e.g., CDisplayEx)
+
+**Files to modify**: `src/adapters/export.odin`
+**Estimated effort**: 1 day
+
+### P1-5: Progress Tracking During Generation
+**Current**: No progress feedback during long operations.
+**Target**: Real-time progress updates in GUI.
+
+**Implementation plan**:
+1. Add `progress_callback` parameter to `generate_all_panels_batched`
+2. Update job manager to track progress percentage
+3. Add progress bar to GUI during generation (overlay or inline)
+4. Update status message with "Generating panel 3/12 (25%)"
+5. Test: Generate 12 panels, verify progress updates visible
+
+**Files to modify**: `src/ui/jobs.odin`, `src/gui/runtime.odin`, `src/adapters/fal.odin`
+**Estimated effort**: 1 day
+
+## Medium Priority Gaps (P2 - Polish)
+
+### P2-1: DeepSeek Streaming Generation
+**Current**: Waits for full response before showing results.
+**Target**: Streaming partial JSON for real-time preview.
+
+**Implementation plan**:
+1. Add `stream_comic_script` proc using curl with streaming response
+2. Parse partial JSON chunks, update GUI progressively
+3. Add "Generating..." overlay with partial script preview
+4. Fallback to non-streaming if streaming fails
+
+**Files to modify**: `src/adapters/deepseek.odin`, `src/gui/runtime.odin`
+**Estimated effort**: 2 days
+
+### P2-2: Appearance Count Tracking
+**Current**: `Character.appearance_count` field exists but is never populated.
+**Target**: Auto-count character appearances across panels.
+
+**Implementation plan**:
+1. Add `count_character_appearances` proc that iterates all panels
+2. Call after script generation and panel generation
+3. Display count in Characters screen summary
+
+**Files to modify**: `src/core/script.odin`, `src/gui/summary_views.odin`
+**Estimated effort**: 0.5 days
+
+### P2-3: Genre-Based Layout Pattern Selection
+**Current**: Layout pattern selection considers genre but `pattern_matches_genre` is basic.
+**Target**: Full genre-to-pattern mapping with tightest-fit algorithm.
+
+**Implementation plan**:
+1. Add `get_patterns_by_genre` proc
+2. Update `select_best_pattern` to use tightest-fit (smallest maxPanels that fits)
+3. Add genre filtering to pattern selection
+
+**Files to modify**: `src/core/layout.odin`
+**Estimated effort**: 0.5 days
+
+### P2-4: Bubble Text Editing in GUI
+**Current**: Bubble text can only be changed via project file edit.
+**Target**: Inline text editing in bubble editor.
+
+**Implementation plan**:
+1. Add text input field to bubble detail panel
+2. Add "Save" button to commit text changes
+3. Update `action_update_bubble` to accept new text
+4. Add keyboard shortcut for text editing mode
+
+**Files to modify**: `src/gui/bubbles_views.odin`, `src/gui/runtime.odin`, `src/gui/actions.odin`
+**Estimated effort**: 1 day
+
+### P2-5: Manual Bubble Positioning
+**Current**: Bubbles are auto-placed only.
+**Target**: Drag-to-reposition bubbles in GUI.
+
+**Implementation plan**:
+1. Add mouse drag detection on bubble preview
+2. Update bubble `position` on drag
+3. Add "Reset Position" button to revert to auto-place
+4. Save position changes to project
+
+**Files to modify**: `src/gui/bubbles_views.odin`, `src/gui/runtime.odin`
+**Estimated effort**: 2 days
+
+## Low Priority Gaps (P3 - Nice to Have)
+
+### P3-1: Community Features
+**Current**: Placeholder screen.
+**Target**: Publish/share/browse functionality.
+
+**Estimated effort**: 5+ days (defer to future release)
+
+### P3-2: Undo/Redo for Bubble and Layout Edits
+**Current**: No undo support.
+**Target**: Command history for bubble/layout changes.
+
+**Estimated effort**: 2-3 days
+
+### P3-3: Multi-Monitor Awareness
+**Current**: Launches on primary monitor only.
+**Target**: Remember last window position, support multi-monitor.
+
+**Estimated effort**: 1 day
+
+### P3-4: Image Asset Caching to Disk
+**Current**: Images stored in memory only.
+**Target**: Cache generated images to `assets/` directory.
+
+**Estimated effort**: 1-2 days
+
+### P3-5: Custom Layout Pattern Assignment
+**Current**: Layout regeneration cycles through patterns.
+**Target**: Manual pattern selection dropdown.
+
+**Estimated effort**: 1 day
+

+
+---
+
+# Known Issues
+
+## Current Limitations
+
+### Bubble Editor (Milestone 37)
+- Bubble text editing is type-only; direct text input requires project file edit
+- Bubble positioning is auto-calculated; manual drag-to-reposition not yet implemented
+- Bubble style customization (colors, fonts) uses defaults only
+
+### Layout (Milestone 36)
+- Layout regeneration cycles through patterns; custom pattern assignment not yet available
+- Validation badges show data but do not auto-fix issues
+
+### Export
+- PDF export uses basic page rendering; no bleed/margin controls
+- CBZ ComicInfo.xml uses minimal metadata
+- Export path must exist or parent directories are auto-created
+
+### GUI
+- Window size adapts to monitor at launch; runtime resize has minimum bounds
+- Compact mode (< 860px height) hides non-essential hints
+- No multi-monitor awareness beyond launch monitor detection
+
+### TUI
+- TUI mode is functional but less feature-rich than GUI
+- No color customization in TUI
+
+### Performance
+- Large projects (100+ panels) may have slower layout computation
+- No image caching beyond in-memory storage during session
+
+## Planned Improvements
+- Manual bubble positioning via drag-and-drop
+- Custom layout pattern assignment
+- Rich PDF export with bleed/margin controls
+- Multi-monitor support
+- Image asset caching to disk
+- Undo/redo for bubble and layout edits
