pptx-runtime

Call pptx_tool with an action. Read the pptx skill and its references/rust-runtime.md before making a deck. This binary provides mechanics, not content, visual decisions, an image generator or another task scheduler. Use the existing image-generation tool and peer sessions selected for the task. Read the returned PNG files with the host's image-capable read_file tool; paths alone are not visual review.

Choose local text targets and same-role sizes from the artwork before fitting. patch merges partial set.format values by default and reports effective before/after formatting; use explicit format_mode:"replace" to reset overrides. split_text partitions one native text into independently placed fragments, retains the canonical copy, and validates complete non-overlapping copy_range coverage. It cannot replace a written symbol with a claimed raster equivalent. See the production skill's references/rust-runtime.md for these schemas.

cycle also emits native QA for every text object. evidence_record independently remeasures the actual PPTX and cannot clear machine failures through model pass/dismissal claims. Use qa_check for a standalone check (CLI exit 2 means fail/unknown). Call action: qa_help for the embedded constraint schemas, repair feedback, coverage limits and the distinction between mechanical and visual acceptance. No extra model-written harness or checking script is needed.

Read native_qa.diagnosis before deciding to repair again. It separates measured constraint violations, visual questions and measurement gaps. An unsupported owner boundary is not automatically a misplaced label; a raster-contact question is not automatically an intentional overlay. Diagnosis changes neither acceptance nor the existing exit policy. See references/qa-gates.md.

For readable whole-page coverage, call review_pack with cycle and a fresh output directory. Supply previous_cycle after a revision. It writes separate, unresized current/blank/design quadrant images independent of detector findings, matched before/current contextual crops for changed objects, and the persistent, new and no-longer-detected mechanical findings. The report never labels a blank as a design reference. Read the images using the host's image-capable tool and give the pack to the existing independent peer; generating it is not inspection. pages optionally limits an intermediate check; final review must cover all pages. Changed acceptance targets or measurement criteria cannot count as repaired defects.

review_pack also produces a detector-independent inventory of every text object, matched native-pixel crops, small view_batches, and an unreviewed object-review-template.json. Follow object visual review. evidence_record requires current object-level observations for ownership, containment, alignment, direction and typography; missing/stale observations stay unknown. Whole-page claims cannot substitute for this evidence. Use the selected model's own vision; no additional vision service is introduced.

New tasks separately require reference fidelity for objects with design images. Readable text cannot waive new interference or changed layout. Rust binds the original/blank/current evidence and registers confirmed defects before repair. See review lifecycle for structured observations, safe local background repairs, third-session arbitration, and bounded exit.

The index also includes relation_signals: local surface directions/offsets and canonical-text OCR reference candidates. Treat them as measured questions, not automatic defects. intentional requires a measured support_id from that signal's intentional_options; a prose explanation alone cannot close it. No supported explanation means unknown or defect, never an invented pass. Raster OCR/ink overlap is collected automatically. Native glyph contact with blank-image contrast edges is measured without OCR and also checked afresh by the final native QA gate. Read the returned contact points and local crops; contact is a candidate interference, not proof that the artwork is an arrow or that an overlap is unintended. Keep unresolved overlays unknown, not silently passed or automatically erased. Submit authored object and relation observations through review_submit with pack, observations and a fresh output; Rust binds hashes and checks disposition consistency. OCR-assisted anchors currently require macOS Vision; surface measurements work without OCR. Missing evidence is not approval.
