## Demo (`demo/public/assets/`)

The demo app itself is the scripted GenCanvas entry (`gen-canvas/demo-aj4.html`, built into
`demo/dist/` by `npm run build:aj4-demo`); the previous step-machine app is archived at
`presentations/ARCHIVE/demo-step-machine-v1-src/`. Asset provenance is unchanged:

All demo case assets come from one end-to-end AJ4 pipeline run (2026-08-13, `output/aj4-case-sketch*`),
grounded on the user-provided AJ4 hand sketch. **The AJ4 sketch replaces the earlier KD9 sketch by
Leo Chang; the demo footer credit now reads "sketch: AJ4 study".**

- `sketch-input.jpg` ← same AJ4 hand-sketch study as `p2/proof-sketch.jpg` (user-provided Downloads file; reference imagery, non-commercial interview use).
- `sixview/sheet-v1.png` ← `output/aj4-case-sketch-raw/ortho-sheet-6.png`; `sixview/sheet-v2.png` ← `output/aj4-case-sketch-40-60/ortho-sheet-6.png`; `sixview/sheet-v3.png` ← `output/aj4-case-sketch-20-80/ortho-sheet-6.png` — one Krea sheet6 call with the AJ4 sketch as image style reference (`scripts/aj4-case/run-sixview.mjs`), then the standard raw / 40-60 / 20-80 sketch-blend variants (Wentao's pipeline outputs).
- `sixview/{front,back,side,right,top,bottom}.png` ← `output/aj4-case-sketch-40-60/` (sheet crops; Wentao's pipeline outputs).
- `sam3-mask.png` ← `output/aj4-case-sketch/sam3-parts-side/label-map.png` — step0 VLM + SAM3 side parts + residual loop on the AJ4 side view (Wentao's pipeline output).
- `concept-mesh.glb` ← `output/aj4-case-sketch/outputs/shoe.glb` — Tripo multiview-to-model from the AJ4 front/side/back/right crops (Wentao's pipeline output; ~54MB — dominant weight of the demo folder).
- `mesh-crop-{front,side,back}.png` ← `output/aj4-case-sketch-40-60/` (the views feeding the Tripo mesh; Wentao's pipeline outputs).
- `colorways/tile-01.png … tile-06.png` ← `output/aj4-case-sketch/region-explorer/tiles/midsole-tile-01..06.png` — real region-explorer batch, fal flux-pro fill inpaint over the SAM3 midsole mask (`scripts/aj4-case/run-colorways.mjs`; Wentao's pipeline outputs).

### Selection notes (visual inspection, 2026-08-12)

- The plan's candidate table guessed some sources wrong; actual content was verified by eye:
  `about-archi-img3` is the USM patent (not Ando), `about-archi-img4` is the USM office,
  the Ando ceiling is `520cd3b2-*.jpg`, `hero.jpg` is the green USM cabinet room,
  and the DSC photos are the spiral tower model.
- Cover ball-in-palm originally cropped from the 1224×792 composed cover (`NIKE_.jpg` = embedded image of `Nike Draft.pdf` p.1); since replaced by the user-provided high-res original (see cover line above).
- `LARP704_Central Park_Final Presentation.jpg` (960px, titled version of the water-system board) was passed over in favor of the higher-res untitled screenshot for `city-mechanism.png`.
- `MLA_Page_18.jpg` matches draft p.4's "Design model, designed by wentao" caption slot; `movement collage1.jpg` matches its "Diagram of mechanism" slot.
- Not used: `hero.webp`, `about-archi-img3_2048x.webp`, `about-archi-img4_1728x.webp` (webp duplicates), `Image 3 (1).png`, `IMG_4465 hei (1).jpg`, `MLA_Page_18 (1).jpg` (byte-identical duplicates), `515.MP4`, `Video (1).mp4` (video, optional per spec), `LARP704_Central Park_Final Presentation.pptx`, `Untitled.pdf` / `Untitled (1).pdf` (portfolio page extracts; originals already covered).

- Toy! video — Vimeo 1217888084, user's own footage (embedded on the Build It chapter; requires network)
- `demo-layers/demo-layers/{source.jpg, layer00–09.png, manifest.json}` ← copied at build time from `gen-canvas/public/demo-layers/` (`npm run build:layers-demo`) — pre-baked outputs of one bytedance/seedream layerize run on FAL over the Nike tennis-poster source image; powers the offline Layers demo board linked from the New Capability page.

## Design-exploration harness pages (`assets/p2/comfy/`, added 2026-08-21)

Every image below is an output of **Wentao's own ComfyUI runs** for the footwear workflow battery
(`workflows/comfy/footwear-validation/`, run records under `work/comfy-runs/`). Each was converted to
progressive JPEG at ≤1800px on the long edge and ≤400KB; nothing is cropped — the deck renders them
`object-fit:contain` under the `.ph-doc` policy.

- `p2/comfy/f09.jpg` ← `work/comfy-runs/f09-kling25-turntable/contact-sheet.png`, recomposed here as a single 5-wide strip (the source sheet is a 3×2 grid whose sixth cell is empty) — F09 five-second turntable, frames at 0s–4s (Wentao's own ComfyUI run; Kling 2.5).
- `p2/comfy/3d-method-comparison.jpg` ← `work/comfy-runs/f08-method-comparison/3d-method-comparison.png` — the multi-view 3D head-to-head: Hunyuan3D 2 MV, Tripo 3.1 MV and Rodin Gen-2 MV reconstructed from the **same** six-view input set (`f08-method-comparison/inputs/`) and rendered through one Blender camera/light rig (`scripts/render-glb-preview.py`). Wentao's own runs.

### Downloadable workflow pack

- `workflows/footwear-validation.zip` ← zipped copy of `workflows/comfy/footwear-validation/` — 34 portable `.api.json` / `.workflow.json` graphs plus `manifest.json`, `README.md` and `FOOTWEAR_WORKFLOW_SUMMARY.md`.
