Large changes across frontend, backend and docs to align creation-tab and generation-page behavior with new product UI/UX and Spacetime bindings. Updated hermes decision-log and pitfalls with concrete rules (banner carousel, font sizing, unread-dot tokens, template-card layout, direct card->entry routing, separation of account balance vs prize pools, removal of global page card shell, generation progress milestones and unified circular progress, and background video handling). Added GenerationProgressHero component and media assets, plus generation-related UI/tests updates (CustomWorldGenerationView, BarkBattleGeneratingView, creation hub/cards, platform entry routing, index tests). Backend and contract updates include new category fields in admin API types and admin UI form/list, spacetime-client/module/migration changes and generated bindings script. Misc: many tests adjusted, new docs and plan files added, and several server-rs crate changes to support the updated creation/ generation workflows.
Replace uses of the legacy `gpt-image-2-all` model with `gpt-image-2` and standardize image workflows: no-reference generation uses POST /v1/images/generations, any-reference flows use POST /v1/images/edits with multipart `image` parts. Update SKILLs, generation scripts, decision logs, and docs to reflect the contract change and edits-vs-generations guidance. Apply corresponding changes across backend (api-server match3d/puzzle modules, openai image adapter, mappers, telemetry, spacetime client/module), frontend components and services (Match3D, Puzzle, CreativeImageInputPanel, runtime shells), and add new spritesheet/parser files and tests. Also add media/logo.png. These changes align repository code and documentation with the VectorEngine image API contract and update generation/upload handling (green-screen -> alpha processing, spritesheet handling, and related tests).
Allow local env files to reliably override authentication feature flags (SMS/WeChat) by whitelisting keys in scripts/dev-utils.mjs and adding a unit test. Add SMS checks to scripts/check-api-server-env.mjs. Make server config.parse_bool tolerant of shell-wrapped quoted values (e.g. '"true"') and add tests so SMS_AUTH_ENABLED is parsed correctly when shells supply quotes. Update docs to clarify SMS env behaviour, restart requirements, and add guidance + a CSS fallback for old mobile browsers (QQ/X5) so public cover images render even when aspect-ratio is unsupported. Also include related frontend test and component adjustments and add puzzle onboarding handlers/endpoints in server-rs/crates/api-server/src/puzzle.rs.
Backend: stop treating background music as a required draft asset and remove auto-submit/plan for background music; load persisted generated UI/assets into Match3D agent session responses (added helpers to resolve profile id and fetch existing generated assets). Frontend: make Match3D result preview reuse runtime UI styles, unify runtime settings entry, update PuzzleRuntime to apply immediate pointermove transforms (disable drag transition), use SVG clipPath for merged piece rounding, ensure PuzzleRuntimeShell supplies platform theme classes, and adjust related tests. Docs & logs: update decision log, pitfalls and product docs to reflect these changes.
Delete a large set of outdated documentation (many files under docs/ and .hermes/plans/, including audits, design, prd, technical, planning, assets, and todos). Update and consolidate .hermes content: refresh shared-memory pages (decision-log, development-workflow, document-map, pitfalls, project-overview, team-conventions) and several skills/references under .hermes/skills. Also modify AGENTS.md, README.md, UI_CODING_STANDARD.md, docs/README.md and .encoding-check-ignore. Purpose: clean up stale planning/audit material and keep current hermes documentation and related top-level docs in sync.
