10 — PIC

Produce safe, bounded, original-pixel media assets and protection evidence.

NO TOOL Nothing implements this step

There is no bounded, hashed media evidence for any page. The PIC-dependent QA gates — media recall and precision at least 0.95, unsafe crop acceptance exactly zero — cannot be evaluated, and the reconstruction path has no verified media layer.

Why it is held: Never implemented. The role was specified in the V8 freeze but no build followed.

Source evidence, candidate evidence, human decision, audit acceptance, release and production are six separate things. This step produces the highlighted one and nothing further.

Scope

Intended to produce bounded, hashed, original-pixel media crops with component evidence and a media role, refusing any crop contaminated by surrounding article text. It creates evidence; it never generates or retouches an image.

No internal sequence is documented for this step — only the contract above and below it. Nothing was invented to fill the gap.

  • Crop is within its source page
  • No unsafe text contamination

Nothing continues on a failed gate. Uncertainty becomes an explicit HOLD, and no later step may read an unanswered item as an accepted one.

Class

AI boundary
No generative image operation.

Training information

Not a trained component. No model, no weights, no training corpus. Behaviour is fixed by code and configuration, and identical inputs must produce identical outputs.

Deterministic validation and acceptance gates

HOLD and failure behaviour

Failure codes this step may emit:

Uncertainty becomes an explicit HOLD. Omission never converts uncertainty into acceptance, and no downstream step may treat an unanswered item as an accepted one.

Active tool

NO ACTIVE TOOL — HOLD. No implementation was invented to fill this gap.

Actual performer today
None. The only media handling in the live chain is a single ontology rule for the advertisement category — preserve as an image.
Missing implementation
A deterministic component/energy detector producing a bounded original-pixel crop, a crop hash, a source bbox, component evidence, a media role and a confidence, which refuses text-contaminated crops.
Consequence
There is no bounded, hashed media evidence for any page. The PIC-dependent QA gates — media recall and precision at least 0.95, unsafe crop acceptance exactly zero — cannot be evaluated, and the reconstruction path has no verified media layer.
Why it is on HOLD
Never implemented. The role was specified in the V8 freeze but no build followed.

Known limitations

Security and privacy

Operates on frozen local artifacts. No credentials required. No data leaves the machine.

Cost behaviour

No provider calls. No metered cost. Compute is local.

Copying a tool into this repository does not authorise running it, retraining it, calling a model, or processing a new issue. No paid call may be made without the owner's explicit authorisation and a hard cost cap.

Editing feedback is not possible: a change is a new event whose supersedes names the one it replaces, and the original stays exactly as written.
