comic-storyboard-creator — the Page-First Storyboard + Master Continuity Ledger (Phase 1, step 4; re-gated at step 6b)

The storyboard step of the comic-author suite: take a LOCKED, user-approved outline_spec and produce the artifact that IS the authoring source of truth — a fixed page order authored as its own section BEFORE any per-panel prose, the MOTIF STATE TABLE (the master per-panel ledger that pins every continuity variable for all panels before any bake), a fixed 9-field per-panel spec, and one deduped canonical asset contract. This is the deep layer the thin comic-author orchestrator SOP defers to; it ports the rigor of aris_movie's movie-storyboard-creator (抽卡 lineages → score → gate) and -v4 (locked-inputs precondition → beat→panel budget → deterministic spec) onto stills, and it emits the panel_spec fields the downstream comic-blueprint-author and comic-director consume. The downstream baking spiral is not this skill's job — this is pure authoring + ledger.

Two-stage role (the N1 contract): this layer's gate runs TWICE. Right after the outline locks, this skill authors the storyboard and runs --gate storyboard as a PROVISIONAL structural pass — the storyboard MAY reference draft (declared-but-unlocked) assets; panel_assets_referenceable is unscorable, is left null, and the fuser SKIPs it (no locked flip yet). Then, after the asset layer has locked everything and OUTLINE_FINAL_LOCK has re-confirmed the outline, the FINAL asset-resolution validation re-runs --gate storyboard with all four dims scorable and flips the storyboard to locked. The hard locked-asset barrier stays downstream, before blueprint authoring (comic-author steps 6a–7).

Cardinal lesson baked in as a gate, not prose: decompose beats→pages→panels and 抽卡 K orderings by feasibility, then fill ONE panel at a time — never batch-author-then-look. The MOTIF STATE TABLE is the concrete guard: it pre-commits a per-dimension-per-panel ground truth (mug heat / executor bounce / Tok|yo evidence / DDL spine / exact_parse / claim_delta) with machine-checkable global invariants (DDL monotonic never-rewind; bounce S02 = the film's ONLY MAX; REJECT↔ACCEPT mirror), so the audit reads intent off a table instead of inferring it.
