ADR 007 — Preserve Future Image and Video Extension Points

Status: Accepted

Decision

v1 will not require media generation, but the story/state model will preserve scene and visual metadata so local image/video generation can be added later.

Context

Future desired experiences include:

generating an image when entering a location,
generating character portraits,
generating illustrations from important scenes,
generating video recaps from multi-turn action sequences.

Alternatives Considered

defer all media concerns until later,
integrate image/video immediately,
reserve scene/asset abstractions now without implementing providers.

Reason

Scene and character continuity information is inexpensive to preserve now and expensive to reconstruct later.

Consequences

scene snapshots should be part of the v1 data model,
characters/locations should allow visual descriptors,
asset/media tables or interfaces may be reserved,
the story engine must not depend on a specific image/video backend.
