Existing tests/ Programs

The repo ships its own author-written tests/ scripts (separate from the test_check/ harness). They write to renders/ and mostly use the low-level API directly. 🔑 = needs OPENAI_API_KEY.

Integration smoke tests (fast)

Script	What it does
test_int_solo.py	1 actor @ Tree1.A1, static medium, rembrandt — basic end-to-end
test_int_blocking.py	face_to_face, group camera, three_point
test_int_walk.py	walk + root motion + tracking_moving
test_int_clip.py 🔑	clip(15.0) ceiling with dialog
test_int_location_shot.py	location-based context + at=
test_int_walk_to_join.py	walk_to_join with a real ~5-unit approach (start=)

Comparison galleries

Script	What it does
render_camera_compare.py	13-shot camera gallery + pan/jitter (bare)
render_camera_compare2.py	24-shot angle/lens matrix across 3 groupings (bare)
render_camera_compare_fullscene.py	the 13-shot gallery, in the real set
render_camera_compare2_fullscene.py	the 24-shot gallery, in the real set
render_lighting_compare.py	all 6 presets in Cycles (the vivid version)

The compare2 24 shots cover wide/medium from every angle, closeups, pans, jitter, arc-180, and tracking while one or both actors walk.

Scene & edit demos

Script	What it does
test.py 🔑	3-shot dialog scene across 3 canal-bridge locations
scene_playground.py 🔑	4-shot playground scene, RENDER_QUALITY switch
edit_playground.py	assembles the playground clips (trims, transitions, letterbox)

Debug / special

Script	What it does
test_debug1.py	prints per-frame tracking_moving math, saves a .blend
test_compiler6.py 🐢	HDR + Cycles, 1 frame (its output is the one not on disk — never run)
test_animation.py	self-contained walk → jump → walk-back smoke test (no set)

How they differ from the test_check/ harness

Aspect	tests/ programs	test_check/ harness
Layer	low-level functions + monkey-patched _render	public shot.camera() / shot.lighting() API
Resolution	full 1280×720 PNG sequences	downsampled proxies + stills
Purpose	author visual galleries	systematic public-API verification + bug-finding

They complement each other: the galleries are richer full-res references (and cover pan/jitter/24-angle matrices); the harness is the verification pass that found the known issues.
