name: asset-approval description: Register and approve generated or imported media across reference, voice, dialogue, music, SFX, video, master, trailer, social, artwork, and release groups with one durable primary/alternate/reject state model. disable-model-invocation: true author: Alan Guice (Badgids) license: Apache-2.0

Asset Approval

Workflow

1. Read ../../references/MEDIA_REGISTRY.md, project dependencies, and the relevant source artifact.
2. Register each concrete media candidate in 00_project/media_registry.jsonl with a new MEDIA-### ID.
3. Preserve the domain source ID such as TAKE-###, VOICE-###, MUS-###, SFX-###, REF-###, TRL-###, or SOC-###.
4. Use one approval group per decision scope.
5. Inspect media and relevant QC before selecting a primary.
6. Keep useful alternates. Keep rejected and superseded history. Rejection changes state; it does not physically delete a file.
7. Never select a QC-failed candidate without explicit qc_override: true and a concrete user-approved reason.
8. Use scripts/media_registry.py for deterministic state changes when available. Use scripts/media_lifecycle.py only after an explicit deletion or runtime-copy-repair request; it may delete only an exact eligible registered path and records the cleanup operation.
9. If a primary replacement affects downstream timing, identity, content, or continuity, run project-impact.

Weak-model rule

Never infer approval from filename order, newest timestamp, highest seed, or generation success. Only media_approvals.json determines the current primary.

Done

Every reviewed media group has zero or one primary, explicit alternates, preserved rejected history, and project-relative paths.
