Explanation:
**Implementing script updates**

I need to import ScriptDraft and consider the validations. If the max is 80, I'm wondering how it will react at 85. I think my count might be 76, which seems okay. I'll update _SCRIPTS accordingly and think about a simple mapping for the draft. It feels a bit scattered, but I’m aiming to make sure everything works as it should! Plus, clarity is key, right?

Explanation:
**Building a unified preview**

I need to focus on creating a unified preview. I could manually generate it using a new draft in the script. Maybe it makes sense to run a test—there might not be a need for additional code. I should consider using a pipeline to generate a clip, but it's currently in English. I might want to add a demo helper module and improve the existing implementations. The current shot plan captions feel too generic and need some adjustments. I need to inspect the tests to see if they align with these updates.


Explanation:
**Planning tests for shot_plan**

I need to implement tests for the shot_plan, focusing on how it incorporates voiceover beats. It’s essential for me to ensure that everything functions smoothly and that the voiceovers align perfectly with the beats. I should consider different scenarios to cover various use cases. Testing thoroughly will help maintain quality, so I want to be careful and systematic in this process. Let’s get started on figuring out the best approaches for these tests!

Explanation:
**Generating new preview**

I need to create a new preview using the latest draft and English frames. Maybe I need some tests, but I think we have enough for now. I just need to make sure to use the tools correctly to generate the output. I should also check if localizing the frame copy will return the caption text correctly. Good! I’ll utilize the create_shot_plan and build the manifest. Time to render everything and run the script!

Explanation:
**Inspecting visual frames**

I’m thinking I need to visually inspect the first frame to ensure it’s displaying correctly. Maybe I’ll use some vision analysis to help with this. A screenshot or frame image might be useful for my analysis. I want to make sure everything looks good, so I’ll take a careful look. It's important to get this right before moving on. Let's see what the frame reveals!

Question: Check whether the top card text is readable and matches the beginner-friendly weird-email hook. Note any clipping or mismatch.


Image loaded into your context — you can see it natively now. Use your built-in vision to answer the user.

Question: Check whether the top card text is readable and matches the beginner-friendly weird-email hook. Note any clipping or mismatch.


Explanation:
**Considering localization issues**

I'm looking at some localization issues with the content. The German labels for "Zeit/Bewegung" are present while the content is in English. It might be acceptable as is, but I wonder if I should update the English labels in the copy. The body seems to be hardcoded to German labels, and there's concern about a mismatch in the top text. I'll think about testing this and possibly adding it into the local frame writer. Let's see what existing tests are available!


Explanation:
**Polishing documentation**

I’m considering whether I really need to polish the documentation with language labels. It might not be strictly necessary, but I want to ensure everything is clear. I need to run full tests, update the documentation, and commit those changes. Updating the README might also be a good idea. I really want to make sure everything is up to date and user-friendly, so I’ll aim to use a patch for clarity!

`autoshorts.audio.probe.probe_media_duration_seconds()` reads generated media duration via FFprobe so subtitle cues can be aligned to the actual EdgeTTS MP3 length.

`autoshorts.audio.voiceover.build_truetrace_final_voiceover()` now keeps the first pilot beginner-friendly and concrete (`weird email` instead of abstract `exception path`). `build_accessible_script_draft_from_voiceover()` creates the render-planning `ScriptDraft` from the same final voiceover source, so the top card, scene captions, subtitles, and spoken audio no longer drift into separate texts.

    56|## Brand profile
    57|
    58|`autoshorts.strategy.brand.TRUETRACE_SHORTS_BRAND` captures the phase-1 public brand contract for `True Trace Shorts`:
    59|
    60|- channel name and handles;
    61|- tagline: `Systems over prompts.`;
    62|- public YouTube description and TikTok bio;
    63|- default hashtags and YouTube tags;
    64|- tone and visual rules;
    65|- forbidden public topics;
    66|- generic AI-tips patterns;
    67|- mechanism keywords for brand fit.
    68|
    69|`validate_candidate_brand_fit()` rejects candidates that violate no-go topics, generic AI-tips positioning, or the mechanisms-over-hype promise. `apply_brand_metadata()` appends default hashtags and brand policy notes without changing the candidate content or performing side effects.
    70|
    71|`autoshorts.demo.truetrace_concepts.build_truetrace_concept_batch()` provides the current five-candidate TrueTrace concept testbatch for strategy review:
    72|
    73|- `Why Most AI Automations Break After Three Days`
    74|- `This Prompt Looks Smart — But the Workflow Still Breaks`
    75|- `The Hidden Reason Your AI Notes Become Useless`
    76|- `Claim: AI Agents Will Replace Teams`
    77|- `One Rule Before You Automate Anything With AI`
    78|
    79|`render_truetrace_concept_summary()` renders those candidates with hooks, outlines, visuals, hypotheses, YouTube descriptions, TikTok captions, and tags. It performs no platform action and avoids action language.
    80|
    81|`autoshorts.demo.truetrace_preview_packages.build_top_truetrace_preview_packages()` turns the top three concepts into local German approval timing previews and side-effect-free approval/manual-upload packages. It writes PNG scene cards and MP4 timing previews under the selected output directory, then prepares `ContentPreviewApprovalPackage` and `ManualPostingPack` artifacts for each candidate. Each preview artifact also now carries a deterministic English subtitle cue track and the phase-1 EdgeTTS provider plan, so audio/caption decisions travel with the candidate before any real TTS call happens.
    82|
    83|Subtitle/TTS strategy is documented in `docs/subtitle_tts_strategy.md`: use deterministic Hormozi-inspired renderer-owned captions; start TTS with EdgeTTS English baseline; A/B test NVIDIA Magpie later; use Whisper for alignment/QA, not voice generation.
    84|
    85|## Strategy scoring
    86|
    87|`autoshorts.strategy.score.ContentStrategyScore` evaluates whether a candidate can move beyond generic AI tips and plausibly convert viewers into followers. It scores:
    88|
    89|- hook;
    90|- curiosity;

Subtitle/TTS strategy is documented in `docs/subtitle_tts_strategy.md`: use deterministic Hormozi-inspired renderer-owned captions; start TTS with EdgeTTS English baseline; A/B test NVIDIA Magpie later; use Whisper for alignment/QA, not voice generation.

The first public-facing audio/caption pilot now uses the accessible `weird email` framing: top card, scene captions, subtitles, and voiceover are derived from the final voiceover source instead of mixing old approval-card text with new spoken copy.

     1|# Subtitle and TTS Strategy
     2|
     3|Date: 2026-05-24
     4|
     5|## Decision summary
     6|
     7|For phase 1, subtitles should be deterministic renderer-owned captions in a high-retention Hormozi-inspired style, not burned into AI-generated images or video clips.
     8|
     9|Recommended TTS path for now:
    10|
    11|```text
    12|EdgeTTS for first English final voice tests
    13|→ optional NVIDIA Magpie A/B test later
    14|→ Whisper only for alignment/transcription, not as TTS
    15|```
    16|
    17|Reasoning:
    18|
    19|- EdgeTTS is fast, free, no GPU, no API key, and leaves the GPU free for ComfyUI/Wan/Qwen video/image work.
    20|- NVIDIA Magpie TTS may be worth testing for voice quality, but it is an external API dependency and not yet proven better for our exact Shorts style.
    21|- Whisper is speech-to-text, not text-to-speech. It can align/generated-audio transcripts later, but it does not solve voice generation.
    22|- Local neural TTS on GPU is not attractive while the same GPU is needed for video generation.
    23|
    24|## Subtitle style
    25|
    26|Use a `Hormozi-inspired`, not `Hormozi-cloned`, subtitle system:
    27|
    28|- 2-5 words per subtitle chunk;
    29|- active word highlight;
    30|- strong contrast;
    31|- center-lower safe-zone placement;
    32|- occasional emphasis words in accent color;
    33|- hard line breaks controlled by renderer;
    34|- no baked text inside AI-generated images/clips;
    35|- no copyrighted creator-template dependency;
    36|- captions remain editable until final render.
    37|
    38|Default visual rules:
    39|
    40|```text
    41|Font: bold sans-serif
    42|Placement: lower-middle, above platform UI safe zone
    43|Primary color: white
    44|Stroke/shadow: black/dark outline
    45|Accent: TrueTrace green/blue
    46|Max lines: 2
    47|Max words per chunk: 5
    48|Chunk duration: roughly 0.7-1.6s
    49|```
    50|
    51|## Implemented planning modules
    52|
    53|Current code-level planning boundary:
    54|
    55|- `autoshorts.audio.subtitles.build_hormozi_subtitle_track()` creates continuous 2-5-word subtitle cues with active-word metadata, lower-middle safe-zone style, no side effects, and no external calls.
    56|- `autoshorts.audio.subtitles.validate_subtitle_track()` rejects non-renderer-owned cues, overcrowded captions, bad timing, and missing active words.
    57|- `autoshorts.audio.tts_plan.build_default_truetrace_tts_plan()` selects `edge_tts` with `en-GB-RyanNeural` for phase 1.
    58|- `autoshorts.audio.tts_plan.build_tts_ab_test_plan()` keeps NVIDIA Magpie as a hosted A/B candidate and Whisper as `alignment_qa`, not voice generation.
    59|- `autoshorts.demo.truetrace_preview_packages.build_top_truetrace_preview_packages()` attaches the subtitle track and EdgeTTS baseline plan to each top-3 preview artifact before any real audio generation.
    60|- `autoshorts.audio.edge_tts_adapter.synthesize_edge_tts()` is the explicit EdgeTTS side-effect boundary. It calls `edge-tts`, writes an MP3, and reports `side_effects=("call_edge_tts", "write_audio")`.
    61|- `autoshorts.audio.final_preview.build_audio_caption_preview_plan()` creates an ASS subtitle file plan from the cue track without writing files.
    62|- `autoshorts.audio.final_preview.render_audio_caption_preview()` writes the ASS subtitle file and calls FFmpeg to mux EdgeTTS audio plus burn captions into a review MP4.
    63|- `autoshorts.audio.voiceover.build_truetrace_final_voiceover()` provides concise English final voiceover scripts for the top TrueTrace concepts.
    64|- `autoshorts.audio.probe.probe_media_duration_seconds()` reads the generated MP3 duration via FFprobe so subtitle cues can be rebuilt against the actual voiceover length, not merely the estimated target.
    65|- `render_audio_caption_preview(duration_mode="trim_to_audio")` may use `-shortest`, but only when explicitly requested. The default remains `preserve_video` to avoid silent truncation.
    66|
    67|## Caption pipeline
    68|
    69|Preferred deterministic pipeline:
    70|
    71|```text
    72|Script voiceover text
    73|→ caption chunker
    74|→ timed subtitle cues
    75|→ renderer-owned caption layer
    76|→ FFmpeg burn-in for final MP4
    77|```
    78|
    79|Later, after real TTS is added:
    80|
    81|```text
    82|Final script
    83|→ TTS audio
    84|→ optional Whisper alignment/transcript QA
    85|→ corrected subtitle cues
    86|→ final renderer burn-in
    87|```
    88|
    89|Important: Whisper is useful for checking/aligning what the TTS actually said, but it should not own the script. The source of truth remains the approved script.

Erledigt, Sir.

Sie hatten völlig recht — ich habe jetzt nicht nur kosmetisch geändert, sondern die Pipeline so angepasst, dass **Voiceover, Subtitles und oberes Kartenfeld aus derselben Quelle kommen**.

## Neuer Commit

```text
7375311 feat: make TrueTrace pilot beginner friendly
```

## Was geändert wurde

### 1. Voiceover beginner-friendly gemacht

Alter Stil:

```text
Most AI automations do not fail dramatically.
They quietly rot.
...
exception path
```

Neuer Stil:

```text
Your AI automation works perfectly in the demo.
Then one weird email arrives.
The name is missing.
The format is different.
The request is unclear.
...
If your AI does not know what to do with weird inputs,
it will break the moment real life shows up.
```

Das ist deutlich zugänglicher:

- konkretes Beispiel: `weird email`
- kein Jargon wie `exception path`
- kein `input boundary`
- kein `output standard`
- kein Architekten-Englisch im Smoking
- Problem ist auch für KI-Anfänger sofort verständlich

## 2. Eine Source of Truth

Neu:

```python
build_accessible_script_draft_from_voiceover()
```

Das macht:

```text
FinalVoiceoverScript
→ ScriptDraft
→ ShotPlan
→ RenderManifest
→ Top Card Text
→ Scene Captions
→ Subtitles
→ Voiceover
```

Damit vermeiden wir genau den Fehler von vorher:

```text
oben alter Karten-Text
unten neue Subtitles
Audio nochmal anders
```

Dieser Wildwuchs ist jetzt abgeschnitten. Mit Anstand.

## 3. ShotPlan nutzt jetzt echte Script-Beats

Vorher waren Szenencaptions teilweise generisch:

```text
AI suggests. Human approves.
The rule: AI drafts, you decide.
10-minute review. One human checkpoint.
```

Jetzt kommen sie aus den echten Retention Beats des finalen Scripts:

```text
The name is missing. The format is different. The request is unclear.
Suddenly the automation does the wrong thing confidently.
That is not an AI problem. That is a workflow problem.
```

## 4. Preview-Karten auf Englisch konsistenter

Für die neuen final-nahen Previews werden die Karten nicht mehr halb Deutsch/halb Englisch beschriftet.

Geändert:

```text
Zeit → Time
Bewegung → Motion
```

Wenn `approval_language="en"` verwendet wird.

## Neuer generierter Clip

Candidate:

```text
truetrace-ai-automation-quiet-rot-38s
```

Neue Version:

MEDIA:/home/agent/jarvis_runtime/autoshortsbot/AutoShortsBot/data/previews/truetrace-weird-email-v2/truetrace-ai-automation-quiet-rot-38s/weird-email-audio-caption-preview.mp4

## Verifiziert

```text
Words: 85
Target duration: 37s
Actual EdgeTTS audio: 36.864s
Subtitle duration: 37.0s
Video duration: 36.833s
Audio duration: 36.864s
```

SHA256:

```text
5b903b148b6123c64dd30754b9f6bfb294154f0973ab2dfa90619ee22f6f1044
```

Ich habe zusätzlich den ersten Frame visuell geprüft: Top-Text ist lesbar und lautet jetzt passend:

```text
Your AI automation works perfectly in the demo.
Then one weird email arrives.
```

## Tests

Full Suite:

```text
162 passed in 32.43s
```

## Einschätzung zur Zielgruppe

Ja: Diese Richtung ist viel besser für Leute mit wenig KI-Erfahrung.

Der Kanal sollte nicht starten mit:

```text
“Here is a system architecture principle.”
```

Sondern mit:

```text
“Here is why your ChatGPT/Zapier/Email automation breaks when real life gets messy.”
```

Das holt Anfänger ab, ohne den eigentlichen System-Gedanken zu verlieren.

## Nächster sinnvoller Schritt

Jetzt sollten wir visuell noch weg von Karten und hin zu einer konkreteren Szene:

```text
Demo inbox
→ weird email appears
→ AI routes it wrong
→ simple 3-way split:
   Go through
   Review
   Stop
```

Das wäre dann nicht nur verständlicher Text, sondern auch ein verständlicher Mechanismus im Bild.
