## Non-negotiables (every state, every host)

1. **Copy the reference.** Study the whole reference, picture and sound. Keep its people, action, camera, hook, length (±25%) and its shot and setup counts (±30%, from `scripts/reference_shots.py`); list every change in `changes_from_reference`, shown first at the script approval.
2. **Match its sound and pace.** Speech, music and effects follow the reference. Silence only when the reference is silent or the owner asks for it. Never a sine tone, a drone or an empty track. `scripts/reference_rate.py` measures the reference's words per second (never estimate it); a voice more than 10% slower is regenerated or sped up (at most 1.25×) before lip-sync and picture timing.
3. **People and demos stay people and demos.** Plan a person, hands or a live demonstration in the reference as one; never plan a text card, dots or a still in its place. One that ends up on screen anyway is an `ask` finding you recommend fixing.
4. **The script comes from write-video-ad-script.** Fetch it with catalog_fetch; never write the script inline.
5. **Use the real product.** Its real photos, its real size and its usage steps. A still packshot gets the real photo through `overlay`. A pack held or used on screen is made with `openai/gpt-image-2/edit`, the real product photo as reference image 1, front label facing the camera. A blank, unprinted or label-less brand pack is must_fix. Every use step and product state (dry contents, cooked dish, strip on the nose) comes from a real brand photo sent as a reference.
6. **Keep the approved look.** Camera, focus, lighting, texture, setting and finishing follow the brief/reference. Phone realism belongs to phone footage; studio, cinematic, stylized and animated formats keep their own look. Preserve product truth and plausible anatomy in every format. Use [libraries, look and rubric](references/libraries-look-and-rubric.md).
7. **Review the final against the reference,** listened or measured, never claimed. `scripts/qc_evidence.py` must exit 0 on the exact final bytes (it fails only a broken file); then mark the video complete and read the host's final check.
8. **Two owner approvals, both in this chat:** the script and the ingredients. In `review_mode: auto` one yes to the full total covers both (see [check severity](references/check-severity.md)). Agent checks add no other approval step.
9. **Quality warns, never blocks.** Every finding is `must_fix` (always redone, never delivered), `ask` (shown with the price of the fix; in `review_mode: auto` you decide) or `fine` (kept). Only money, consent, safety and broken files stop the run. A redo is paid from the approved total when it fits, otherwise after a new yes to its price; never drop a scene. See [check severity](references/check-severity.md).

**Reading rule.** Read one file per call. If the output says it was truncated, re-read that file in parts before acting.
