+## Pose Tools (2D body pose)
+
+A posenet-style toolset built on a feature-detected estimator. Preferred backend is
+**rtmlib** (RTMPose, ONNX via the already-installed `onnxruntime`); **mediapipe** is a
+fallback. If neither is installed the endpoints return `501` and the UI shows an install hint.
+
+- **Install (A6000 venv):** `~/comfyui/venv/bin/pip install rtmlib`. Models (~150 MB) auto-
+  download to `~/.cache/rtmlib` on first use.
+- **CUDA libs:** `onnxruntime-gpu` needs the venv's `nvidia-*-cu12` libs on the loader path.
+  `a6000-comfy/start_api.sh` adds them to `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` at launch (torch finds them via
+  RPATH, onnxruntime does not).
+
+**Output format:** COCO-17 keypoints (`POSE_KEYPOINT_NAMES`) + `POSE_SKELETON` edge list,
+returned in image pixels with per-joint score.
+
+**Studio overlay (`car.html`):** the **Pose** button overlays the skeleton on the viewer
+(letterbox-aware canvas). Joints are **draggable** to refine/explore a pose. Overlay toolbar:
+*Reset* (re-detect) and *Similar pose* (rank the library by the current — possibly edited —
+skeleton). Results render as a thumbnail strip; clicking one opens that image's group.
+
+**Similarity model (`edit_api.py`):**
+- `_pose_descriptor(keypoints)` → translation/scale-invariant vector: centered on hip midpoint
+  (fallback shoulders), scaled by torso length, 17×(x,y) + visibility mask. `None` if < 6 joints.
+- `_pose_distance(a, b)` → weighted L2 over jointly-visible joints, taking the min of the direct
+  and the **left-right-mirrored** comparison so mirrored poses match.
+- **Pose index:** descriptors are cached in `<output>/_data/poses_index.json`. It fills
+  incrementally whenever `/images/{f}/pose` runs, or in bulk via `/pose/index` (daemon thread,
+  batched writes every 50, progress via `/pose/index/status`).

+# Backlog
+
+## Shipped (recent)
+
+Studio / Generate UX:
+
+- ✅ Crop reaches the bottom edge (toolbar moved to top); choose copy-vs-replace ("Save as copy")
+- ✅ Paste-to-group image shows immediately (no refresh needed)
+- ✅ Generated images store the prompt used (and pose name) in the DB
+- ✅ Edit / add / delete poses from the Generate tab (persists to `poses.md`)
+- ✅ flag beta poses in ui — beta badge + editable beta flag
+- ✅ Custom prompt field auto-grows; keeps `list="promptHistory"` autocomplete
+- ✅ Remove-BG persists `has_background` + refreshes static data (survives reload)
+- ✅ Invert-α button (fixes wrong-segment background removal)
+- ✅ zien van de geselecteerde images in de prompt — multi-ref thumbs visible; click to deselect
+- ✅ Landing-page group merge syncs immediately (synchronous static write)
+- ✅ Rotate ±90° in the studio
+
+Pose tools (rtmlib / RTMPose, 2D):
+
+- ✅ Pose skeleton preview overlay in studio
+- ✅ Draggable joints to refine/explore a pose
+- ✅ Find similar poses across the library (translation/scale/mirror-invariant; `poses_index.json`)
+- ✅ Gesture presets in pose toolbar (T-pose, wave, arms raised, hands on hips, turn ±45°)
+- ✅ "Generate ▸" in pose toolbar — renders skeleton as OpenPose image → Qwen image2 guide → new generation
+- ✅ "Orbit all" button in Generate tab selects all 6 absolute camera angles at once
+
+Scenery:
+
+- ✅ source_refs now stores all references: person image + video name + extra ref image
+- ✅ /scenery/library endpoint — all scenery grouped by source video
+- ✅ "Previous scenery" panel in Scenery tab — browse & reuse scenery from any group, grouped by video
+
+## Open
+
+- remove "clean-db" button from UI- studio. But perhaps check daily for inconsistencies and show identified issues in a "Archive/Trash" view perhaps seperate html?
+- ✅ OUTPAINT feature/ crop/ pad call qwen
+- the pad/crop i think should allow also percentage values, since we looking in scaled images.
+- valid multi-input way to facilite the 2.5/3d orbit
+- Refine a POSE, so we have the ref (source) image + pose prompt. use the tour GPU + api to refine the pose with user instruction. Then use the source image + updated prompt to generate a new image.
+- introduce custom padding features - auto crop afterwards
+- in car.html - studio view we have a action to pad the image we also have this feature in the "Generate" tab.
+- add a checkbox (or similar) to instruct the image-model to outpaint the padded area. Also implement the outpainting functionality in edit_api.py, we can instruct qwen-image. We can have the same functionality in the "Generate" tab when no prompt is given but a padding is given.
+- ✅ we have a bug that when pressing the ui-action "duplicate" and "pad" the browser needs to refresh before we see the result. Other actions like generating from pose do not hae this bug, fix the bug and boy scout adjecnt actions if they are missing the required technical follow up. Fix the bug for the features.
+- ✅ In the "Generate" tab, the CUSTOM prompt is shown twice, above POSES and statically always in view in the right bottom. Remove the statically CUSTOM prompt from the UI.
+- The Generate button is always visible in the "Generate" tab, however we cannot jump to it via keyboard. Add a keyboard shortcut to jump to the Generate button "G" or simialler.
+- remove the "set prompt"
+- after pose generation, sometimes small black area's occur in the subject.  ( presumably the _apply_transparency_black_bg addition)
+- studio view - orbit tab - view sometimes seems accelerated, liek the tiems is set twice. And most of all a step in the turn seems in in the wrong direction. maybe its an image-ordering bug, but i think its because the image-model generated the step 240deg into the wrong direction
+- Improve the UI/UX for the end-user experience. Where effort is low and impact is high.
+- Use own insight for further refinement of these improvements.
+- animate limbs along keyframe curves (true motion)
+- 3D-aware rotation / "circling around" with depth estimation
+- camera-orbit batch with consistent lighting across views
+- ✅ extract a frame from a clip (scenery)
+- faceswap defaults nothing enabled, see jobs even when refresh
+- rating based pose, thumbs up/down find good/bad poses easier, (pairs well with the new pose index — could weight similar-pose results by rating)
+- after orbit generation, the images cannot be duplicated, set preferred, archived or otherwise modified server response "{"detail":"Not Found"}"
+- after orbit generation, dont generate the mp4, but do show the orbit orbit-full-img-wrap and render the alpha images 1fps ourselves.
+- allow re-ordering of the images in the orbit generated frames 
+- sometimes the UI renders two orbits in the same orbitFullViewer, must be a timer not being cleared in the ui
+- 
+## refine
+
+- when refresh page, we lose track of current jobs running.
+- generating poses themself should use the adviced dimensions rather than the base image reference.
+- introduce a like/dislike base system for images/group to determine the sort order (and more), would also dislike the pose
+- ✅ creating scenery should keep both video-frame + ref images as references, we only see 1 image now. ✅ fixed
+- gesture ideas for future (require ControlNet / OpenPose conditioning):
+
+## notes
+
+pose bestaat gewoon uit meerdere delen, camera, scenery + addition
+poses: hyper realistic, lighting, detailled skin etc.. see last generations for better results.
+focus op head + sam2.hyria seg + mesh   (3D / mesh — pose editor is currently 2D only)

 # The kneeler (beta):
+
 A realistic artistic nude female.
 The model kneels on all fours with hands planted firmly under the shoulders and knees directly under the hips. One arm and the opposite leg are lifted completely off the ground, creating a powerful diagonal stretch across the body. Hips are lowered toward the ground. The composition emphasizes the muscular tension in the lifted limbs and the continuous curved lines of the arched back and torso. Strength and dynamic energy radiate from the pose. Studio lighting, anatomically precise, no background, plain neutral backdrop, high detail, professional figure reference photography.

-#  Single Steel Bar — Behind Knees, Through Elbows, Prone Display
 You are in black void, folded over a single solid steel bar. One polished steel rod passing behind your knees and through your bent elbows, holding your legs bent and your arms pinned behind your back simultaneously.
 Your body draped face-down over this single bar, chest hanging, posterior elevated. Ankles cuffed together below the bar.
 Wrists cuffed together above the bar. One bar, two cuffs. Your body folded into a tight prone package, dorsal plane fully presented. Floating examination light above.
 Eyes looking sideways at camera, keeping your facial characteristics as reference photo. One bar, full posterior examination access. Realistic, anatomically precise.

-#  Single Steel Pillory — Standing Bent, Neck and Wrists
-You are bent forward at the waist in black void, locked into a single solid steel pillory. One heavy polished steel board, floating horizontally. Three holes: your neck locked in the center, your wrists locked to either side. The board holds you at hip height, torso parallel to the void floor. Your ankles cuffed together by a solid steel bar. No stand, no support — the pillory floats and you are fixed within it. Posterior fully exposed behind you. Floating examination light. Eyes looking forward at camera from beneath the board, keeping your facial characteristics as reference photo. One board, total bent immobilization. Realistic, anatomically precise.

-#  Single Steel Hook — Suspended by the Waist, Arms and Legs Free
-You are suspended in black void from a single solid steel hook. One polished steel curve descending from the darkness above, its blunt tip passing under a steel band cinched around your waist. Your body hangs horizontally, face down, arms and legs dangling free but separated by gravity. Ankles weighted by small steel cuffs, pulling your legs slightly apart. Wrists weighted by matching cuffs, pulling your arms forward. No other support. You hang from one hook, one band. Body suspended in full extension, all surfaces accessible. Floating examination light beneath you. Eyes looking at camera from your suspended position, keeping your facial characteristics as reference photo. One hook, full circumferential examination access.

+orbit_qwen.py — near-real actor turntable using Qwen-Image-Edit.
+
+Unlike orbit_module.py (fake 2.5D depth-card parallax), this actually asks the
+generative model to RE-RENDER the subject at each yaw angle. Each view is
+anchored to the original front image with a fixed seed so identity, body, hair
+and lighting stay consistent while only the viewpoint rotates.
+
+Pipeline:
+  1. build a yaw-angle prompt per frame (turntable or swing)
+  2. _run_pipeline (Qwen via ComfyUI) → one re-rendered view per angle
+  3. bottom-center align onto a common canvas
+  4. stitch to a looping MP4
+
+Validated finding (2026-06-25): 2D blending between independently-generated
+views (optical-flow morph OR crossfade) always ghosts — the bodies don't
+overlap, so any in-between frame shows a double exposure. The cure is DENSITY,
+not blending: ~24 crisp keyframes (15° steps) played with NO interpolation at
+~12fps reads as a smooth turntable, exactly like classic 3D turntable GIFs.
+Interpolation is kept available (interp_factor>1) but defaults OFF.
+
+Reuses edit_api._run_pipeline, so it talks to the same running ComfyUI server.
+
+Usage:
+  from orbit_qwen import run_qwen_orbit
+  result = run_qwen_orbit("/path/to/front.png", "/out/dir", n_views=12)
