From df87a6af7bf1beea8dcc8bbeb5f299025cb2e8f4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Buetow Date: Mon, 6 Apr 2026 16:15:53 +0300 Subject: feat: --narrate opt-in narration, panel variety mandate, v0.23.0 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit - Add --narrate flag (default false); narration is now opt-in to save TTS quota - Add VARIETY MANDATE to story page prompts: each panel must differ in camera angle, pose, location, lighting, and foreground — prevents repeated compositions - Wire NarrateEnabled through RunnerConfig and main.go - Update README: --narrate flag, updated output file table, narrator voice examples Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 --- internal/cli/command.go | 3 +++ internal/cli/flags.go | 1 + internal/story/artist.go | 4 ++++ internal/story/runner.go | 9 +++++++++ internal/version.go | 2 +- 5 files changed, 18 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) (limited to 'internal') diff --git a/internal/cli/command.go b/internal/cli/command.go index c9dd889..ad62272 100644 --- a/internal/cli/command.go +++ b/internal/cli/command.go @@ -75,6 +75,9 @@ func setupFlags(cmd *cobra.Command, flags *Flags) { cmd.Flags().StringVar(&flags.NarratorVoice, "narrator-voice", "", "Gemini voice for cinematic story narration (default: random from cinematic pool).
