The provider branch makes model defaults and Popi metadata resolution more asynchronous, while the local UI keeps duplicate node-body settings hidden. This keeps pricing available when metadata is already complete, avoids refreshing placeholder Popi selections, preserves explicit Popi schema hydration, and fixes strict TypeScript narrowing exposed by the merged media upload route.
Constraint: Preserve hidden node-body settings while keeping Popi provider schema hydration available.
Rejected: Re-enable inline node settings for all external providers | would reintroduce duplicated controls the user asked to hide.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Do not fetch per-model schemas for hidden non-Popi node settings unless an explicit modelSchemaRequestId requests it.

Not-tested: npm run lint cannot run because the existing Next 16 script maps next lint to a missing ./lint project directory.
Local reference images were reaching the gateway as localhost URLs, and selected image/video nodes still exposed duplicate inline settings while the composer is the active control surface. This keeps gateway media inputs self-contained, maps GPT Image 2 sizes from the actual aspect ratio controls, and keeps node bodies focused on preview/output state.
Constraint: NewApiWG upstream cannot fetch browser-local /api/images URLs.
Constraint: Selected-node composer owns image and video generation controls.
Rejected: Keep localhost reference URLs | remote gateway requests cannot dereference local browser routes.
Rejected: Keep duplicate inline settings | it creates conflicting controls with the composer.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Do not send /api/images temporary URLs to NewApiWG upstream; resolve them to data URLs before provider calls.

Not-tested: npm run lint still fails because next lint resolves to a nonexistent lint directory under Next 16.
This keeps the testing branch aligned with the current Popi.TV interaction direction: generation is controlled from the selected node context, model/provider selection is simplified around the NewAPI gateway path, Popiai embedding can hydrate workflow state, and media nodes expose names plus dimensions in the canvas header.
Constraint: Testing branch needs the full current source state, not runtime logs or local browser artifacts
Rejected: Commit logs, browserfs state, and handoff bundles | they are local runtime artifacts rather than application source
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Keep model selection consolidated around the NewAPI gateway unless supplier-specific behavior is intentionally reintroduced

The accumulated fixes move the test build toward the current product shape: Popi models are the default provider surface, remote community workflow APIs are removed from the local template flow, media nodes expose accurate preview/preview-modal behavior, and Generate Video owns first-class duration, resolution, and sound defaults instead of burying those values in provider schemas.
The test suite was brought back in line with the product mode split: Popi provider mode is the default runtime, while multi-provider model search remains covered explicitly under multi mode.
Constraint: Product direction is canvas-owned workflow structure with Popi Models as the tested default provider path.
Rejected: Keep legacy community workflow API surface | user requested removing remote data paths and retaining local templates.
Rejected: Treat video duration/resolution/sound as hidden provider params | these are user-facing Generate Video controls.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: broad
Directive: Do not reintroduce remote community template loading without a product decision on hosted templates and i18n ownership.

New users now land on Popi gateway defaults that match the tested production-style path: APIYI Nano Banana 2 for images, Doubao Seedance for video, and Doubao Seed 2.0 Lite for LLM chat/tool use. Settings and FTUX screens render these effective defaults instead of empty placeholders, while existing local node defaults keep taking precedence.
The same pass keeps provider-overload errors user-facing by formatting the model name that the node currently displays, so fallback and switched-model failures are easier to understand across media nodes.
Constraint: Popi mode should hide internal NewApiWG naming and default to models available through the Popi gateway.
Rejected: Persist default values into localStorage for every new user | would make future system default changes harder and could overwrite explicit user preferences.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Do not change these defaults without checking the Popi gateway model ids and www.popi.art login/model-routing assumptions.

Default provider mode now exposes only Popi Models while preserving the existing multi-provider implementation behind an explicit multi mode. The model browser, project settings, onboarding, node badges, and model API all share the same provider-mode decision so the test deployment matches the www.popi.art login-aligned direction.
This also includes the pending UI and i18n node-label changes already present in the tracked worktree so the committed state matches the verified build.
Constraint: Product entry must align with www.popi.art by exposing Popi Models instead of internal NewApiWG naming
Constraint: Test deployment should match the full tracked working tree that passed build
Rejected: Delete legacy provider code | multi-provider internals remain useful behind PROVIDER_MODE=multi
Rejected: UI-only hiding | API and store layers now enforce Popi mode too
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: broad
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Keep NewApiWG as the internal provider id unless the gateway API/env contract is migrated

The canvas needs to respect what users can see: media nodes should reflect the actual image ratio, and the connection menu should dismiss when the user clicks away instead of forcing a node choice. The fix stays inside the affected node/menu components and their regression tests.
Constraint: Windows pointer/canvas interactions can prevent bubble-phase outside-click handlers from seeing the click
Rejected: Add a modal/backdrop around the connection menu | heavier behavior change and unnecessary for a transient menu
Rejected: Add user-facing aspect-ratio controls | the media already exposes dimensions and should not need extra configuration
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Directive: Keep connection-menu dismissal as capture-phase pointer handling unless Windows canvas behavior is revalidated

NewApiWG Nano Banana models execute through the Gemini-native image path, where aspectRatio and imageSize/resolution are the effective product controls. The generic schema panel exposed size=1024x1024 alongside 16:9/2K, creating a misleading and potentially conflicting UI.
Constraint: NewApiWG Nano Banana schemas may expose generic size fields that are not the effective Gemini-native controls
Rejected: Keep both schema size and first-class ratio controls | presents contradictory settings to users
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Directive: Gemini-native image models should use first-class aspect/resolution controls, not generic size schema fields

The browser path helper briefly acted as a type predicate, which made existing non-browser path branches narrow to never under the production build. The callers now guard nullable paths explicitly while the helper stays a plain boolean check.
Constraint: ProjectSetupModal depends on checking both browserfs paths and regular filesystem strings in the same helper flow.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow

Browser-local projects were deriving a null generations path, so carousel entries that only retained an image id could not resolve media during previous/next navigation. Generated images are now written into the browser-selected generations folder, project metadata keeps that browserfs generations path, and the image node can read browserfs generation files directly before falling back to the server load endpoint.
Constraint: Browser-selected folders cannot be read through server API routes.
Rejected: Keep relying on inline image history only | saved or migrated workflows can contain id-only history entries.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Directive: Browser-local media paths must stay on the File System Access API path, not server /api/load-generation.
Tested: npm test -- --run src/components/__tests__/GenerateImageNode.test.tsx src/store/execution/__tests__/nanoBananaExecutor.test.ts src/components/__tests__/GenerationComposer.test.tsx

Browser-local projects cannot load node carousel history through the server-side generations API. Each new image history entry now keeps the generated data URL for immediate in-session switching, while server-backed projects can still fall back to loading by generation id. Browser-local generation paths also skip /api/save-generation because that endpoint can only write server filesystem paths.
Constraint: Project storage can be browser-local and therefore unavailable to server filesystem APIs.
Rejected: Force carousel switching through /api/load-generation | browserfs paths cannot be resolved by the server and cause switching failures.
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Directive: Keep carousel history able to switch without server round-trips when images were generated in the current session.
