📋 Story Requirements
User Story
As a player, I want to choose a custom image to display when my camera feed is unavailable, So that my on-screen presence is represented the way I prefer even when my camera isn't working.
Persona Alignment
- Primary: Elena (Casual Player) - Wants to maintain a consistent on-screen identity
- Primary: All Players - Need control over their visual representation
- Secondary: GM (Marcus, Jake) - Benefits from players having consistent representation
Acceptance Criteria (BDD Format)
AC-1: Portrait Fallback Section in Privacy Panel
Given the Player Privacy Panel is open When a player views it for their own user Then a "Portrait Fallback" section is visible And it contains a file picker button labeled "Choose Image" or similar And it contains a preview of the current fallback image And it contains a "Remove custom image" option if a custom image is set
AC-2: File Picker Accepts Supported Formats
Given the player clicks "Choose Image" in the Portrait Fallback section When they select a PNG, JPG, WEBP, or static GIF file Then the file is accepted And the preview updates to display the selected image And the image is saved as the custom Portrait Fallback
AC-3: Unsupported Formats Rejected
Given the player attempts to select a file with an unsupported format (e.g., .svg, .mp4, .pdf)
When the file picker attempts to accept it
Then an error message shows: "Unsupported format. Please use PNG, JPG, WEBP, or static GIF."
And the previous fallback image remains unchanged
And no custom Portrait Fallback is set
AC-4: Custom Fallback Displayed When Camera Unavailable
Given a player has set a custom Portrait Fallback image
When their participant state is never-connected
Then the custom fallback image is displayed at AV tile dimensions
And it renders at the same size as a live camera feed tile
And there is no layout shift
AC-5: Custom Fallback Displayed When Camera Lost
Given a player has set a custom Portrait Fallback image
When their participant state is cam-lost
Then the custom fallback image is displayed at AV tile dimensions
And it renders at the same size as a live camera feed tile
And there is no layout shift
AC-6: Fallback to FoundryVTT Avatar
Given a player has NOT set a custom Portrait Fallback image
When their participant state requires a fallback (never-connected or cam-lost)
Then the module uses the FoundryVTT user avatar
And if no FoundryVTT avatar exists, the system placeholder is used
AC-7: Fallback Persistence Across Sessions
Given a player has set a custom Portrait Fallback image When they refresh the page or reconnect to the session Then the custom fallback image is still displayed when needed And it persists across all sessions in the same world
AC-8: Remove Custom Image
Given a player has a custom Portrait Fallback image set When they click "Remove custom image" and confirm Then the custom image is removed And the fallback reverts to the FoundryVTT user avatar (or system placeholder) And the preview in the Privacy Panel updates accordingly
AC-9: Image Rendering at Correct Dimensions
Given any fallback image is displayed When it renders in an AV tile Then it displays at the same dimensions as a live camera feed And the aspect ratio is maintained And there is no distortion or stretching
Functional Requirements Covered
- FR-8: Portrait Fallback displayed when Participant has no camera (
never-connected) or enterscam-loststate; default is FoundryVTT user avatar falling back to system placeholder; renders at same dimensions as a live camera-feed tile; Participants can set custom Portrait Fallback via Player Privacy Panel (FR-26). - FR-26: Custom Portrait Fallback settable via file picker in Player Privacy Panel; accepted formats: PNG, JPG, WEBP, static GIF; falls back to FoundryVTT user avatar, then to system placeholder if no avatar exists.
Success Criteria
- All 9 acceptance criteria pass manual testing
- All unit tests pass (target: +15-20 new tests for PortraitFallbackManager)
npm run lintexits 0 (ESLint import boundaries enforced)npm run typecheckexits 0 (strict JSDoc compliance)- Code review passes with no critical findings
- Integration test: Player sets custom image → verify display in
never-connectedstate → verify display incam-loststate → verify persistence → verify remove functionality
📝 Tasks / Subtasks
Task 1: Extend Privacy Settings Contract
Files: src/contracts/privacy-settings.js
Subtasks:
- 1.1: Add
customPortraitFallbackkey toPRIVACY_SETTINGS_DEFAULT- Type:
string | null(null = no custom image) - Default:
null
- Type:
- 1.2: Update
PRIVACY_SETTING_KEYSto includecustomPortraitFallback - 1.3: Update
isValidPrivacySettings()validator to handle string or null - 1.4: Update
createPrivacySettings()factory to handle the new key - 1.5: Add
VALID_PORTRAIT_FORMATSconstant:['image/png', 'image/jpeg', 'image/webp', 'image/gif'] - 1.6: Add
validatePortraitDataURL(dataURL)function to validate format from DataURL - 1.7: Export
MAX_PORTRAIT_SIZEconstant (5MB recommended)
Acceptance Criteria: AC-2, AC-3, AC-6
Completion Notes:
- All 73 tests pass for privacy-settings contract
- Backward compatibility maintained - old settings without customPortraitFallback still validate
- DataURL validation supports PNG, JPEG, WEBP, GIF formats
- Size limit set to 5MB (note: FoundryVTT user flags typically have ~50KB limit)
Dev Notes:
- Store portrait as DataURL string in user flags (persistent, portable)
- DataURL format:
data:image/png;base64,...or similar - Validation must check both MIME type and actual file content
- Keep backward compatibility with existing settings
Task 2: Extend PlayerPrivacyManager for Portrait Operations
Files: src/core/PlayerPrivacyManager.js, tests/unit/core/PlayerPrivacyManager.test.js
Subtasks:
- 2.1: Add
setPortraitFallback(userId, dataURL)method- Validates dataURL format using
validatePortraitDataURL() - Calls
adapter.users.setFlag(userId, 'video-view-manager', 'customPortraitFallback', dataURL) - Emits change event to subscribers
- Validates dataURL format using
- 2.2: Add
getPortraitFallback(userId)method- Returns DataURL string or null if not set
- Falls back to null (FoundryVTT avatar will be used by caller)
- 2.3: Add
removePortraitFallback(userId)method- Removes the custom Portrait Fallback flag
- Calls
adapter.users.unsetFlag(userId, 'video-view-manager', 'customPortraitFallback') - Emits change event to subscribers
- 2.4: Update
getSettings()to includecustomPortraitFallbackin returned object - 2.5: Update
setSetting()to rejectcustomPortraitFallback(use dedicated method) - 2.6: Add
getPortraitFallbackDataURL(userId)convenience method- Returns the DataURL directly (for rendering)
- Returns null if no custom fallback
- 2.7: Update existing tests to account for new key in settings shape
- 2.8: Add new tests for portrait methods (16 new tests added)
Acceptance Criteria: AC-2, AC-3, AC-4, AC-5, AC-6, AC-7, AC-8, AC-9
Completion Notes:
- All 50 PlayerPrivacyManager tests pass (34 existing + 16 new)
- Portrait methods follow the same pattern as existing boolean setting methods
- Change events emitted for portrait changes use the same subscriber mechanism
- File size validation note: MAX_PORTRAIT_SIZE is 5MB but FoundryVTT user flags typically have ~50KB limit
Dev Notes:
- User flags have a size limit in FoundryVTT (typically 10KB-100KB depending on server config)
- For larger images, consider storing in world settings with a unique key per user
- For v1.0, use DataURL with user flag storage (simplest approach)
- If DataURL exceeds flag size limit, document the limitation and recommend image optimization
- Architecture Decision: Store portrait as DataURL in user flag for v1.0
- Rationale: Simplest approach, no additional infrastructure needed
- Limitation: FoundryVTT user flag size limit (~50KB typical)
- Recommendation: Players should use optimized images (< 50KB)
Task 3: Create PortraitFallbackHandler Core Logic
Files: src/core/PortraitFallbackHandler.js, tests/unit/core/PortraitFallbackHandler.test.js, tests/helpers/playerPrivacyManagerMock.js
Subtasks:
- 3.1: Create
PortraitFallbackHandlerclass with constructor(adapter, playerPrivacyManager)- Constructor receives FoundryAdapter for FoundryVTT avatar access
- Constructor receives PlayerPrivacyManager for custom portrait access
- No direct
game.*access (DI enforced)
- 3.2: Implement
getFallbackImageURL(userId)method- Returns custom Portrait Fallback DataURL if set (from PlayerPrivacyManager)
- Returns FoundryVTT user avatar URL if no custom fallback
- Returns system placeholder URL if no avatar exists
- Returns null if user doesn't exist
- 3.3: Implement
getFallbackImageElement(userId)method- Creates an
<img>element for the fallback image - Sets appropriate src, alt text, and dimensions
- Returns the DOM element ready for mounting
- Creates an
- 3.4: Implement
validatePortraitFile(file)static method- Accepts File object from file picker
- Validates file type against
VALID_PORTRAIT_FORMATS - Validates file size against
MAX_PORTRAIT_SIZE - Returns { valid: boolean, error?: string }
- 3.5: Implement
fileToDataURL(file)static method- Converts File to DataURL using FileReader API
- Returns Promise with the DataURL
- Handles errors gracefully
- 3.6: Add event emission for fallback changes
- Implemented
onPortraitChange(callback)subscription pattern - Implemented
_notifyPortraitChange()for event emission - Includes userId, newValue, and previousValue in event data
- Implemented
- 3.7: Write comprehensive tests (26 new tests)
- 26 tests covering all methods and edge cases
- All tests passing
Acceptance Criteria: AC-2, AC-3, AC-4, AC-5, AC-6, AC-9
Dev Notes:
- FoundryVTT avatar access:
game.users.get(userId)?.avatarorgame.user.avatarfor current user - System placeholder: Use FoundryVTT default avatar path or module-provided placeholder
- Image dimensions: Should match AV tile dimensions (from architecture/UX specs)
- FileReader API is async but works in FoundryVTT context
- Handle file picker cancellation gracefully
Task 4: Extend PlayerPrivacyPanel UI for Portrait Selection
Files: src/ui/player/PlayerPrivacyPanel.js, templates/player-privacy-panel.hbs, styles/components/_player-privacy-panel.less
Subtasks:
- 4.1: Add portrait fallback section to
player-privacy-panel.hbs - 4.2: Update
_prepareContext()in PlayerPrivacyPanel - 4.3: Add file picker handler in
_onRender() - 4.4: Implement
_onFileSelected(event)method - 4.5: Implement
_onRemovePortrait()method - 4.6: Update
_onClose()to clean up file input event listeners - 4.7: Add CSS styles for portrait section in
_player-privacy-panel.less
Acceptance Criteria: AC-1, AC-2, AC-3, AC-4, AC-5, AC-6, AC-7, AC-8, AC-9
Dev Notes:
- Preview should show current custom portrait OR current FoundryVTT avatar
- File input accept attribute:
.png,.jpg,.jpeg,.webp,.gif - Image preview dimensions: 100x100px or similar (match AV tile avatar size)
- Use SP token system for colors and spacing
- Preview container should have border to indicate it's interactive
- Loading state for file processing (spinner or disabled state)
Task 5: Update RoleRenderer for Custom Portrait Integration
Files: src/ui/RoleRenderer.js, src/ui/shared/AVTileAdapter.js
Subtasks:
- 5.1: Update constructor to accept
portraitFallbackHandlerparameter - 5.2: Update
_applyAVTileState()method for camera-absent states - 5.3: Update module.js initialization to pass portraitFallbackHandler
- 5.4: Update tests for RoleRenderer to account for portrait handler
Acceptance Criteria: AC-4, AC-5, AC-6, AC-9
Dev Notes:
- The fallback element should still have class
sp-portrait-fallbackfor CSS targeting - The fallback element should still have
data-sp-role="portrait-fallback"for data attributes - Image element should be wrapped or have appropriate attributes for accessibility
- Maintain backward compatibility: if portraitFallbackHandler not provided, use existing behavior
Task 6: Add Localization Strings
Files: lang/en.json
Subtasks:
- 6.1: Add Portrait Fallback section strings
Acceptance Criteria: AC-1, AC-2, AC-3, AC-8
Dev Notes:
- All strings under
SCRYING_POOL.PrivacyPanelnamespace for consistency - Use plain language per NFR-6
- Keep technical terms out of player-facing text
- {maxSize} placeholder for dynamic size limit display
🎯 Developer Context
Epic Context
Epic 4: Player Privacy Panel delivers the consent and privacy layer for all future automation features. Story 4.1 implemented the foundational Player Privacy Panel with opt-in controls for Reaction Cam and HP-Reactive Cam Styling. Story 4.2 completes the privacy panel by adding Custom Portrait Fallback selection, fulfilling FR-8 and FR-26.
Business Value: Players need control over their visual representation when their camera is unavailable. This ensures a consistent on-screen presence and improves the player experience. Without custom portrait support, players with camera issues would see a generic placeholder, reducing immersion and personal expression.
Dependencies:
- Epic 1 (Core Camera Visibility Control) - COMPLETE
- Epic 2 (Player Notifications & Director's Board) - COMPLETE
- Epic 3 (Scene-Aware Camera Automation) - COMPLETE
- Story 4.1 (Player Privacy Panel & Automation Opt-ins) - COMPLETE
- FoundryAdapter user flag methods (from Story 4.1)
- PlayerPrivacyManager (from Story 4.1)
- RoleRenderer and AVTileAdapter (from Epic 1)
- No external dependencies required
Blockers: None identified
Cross-Story Context from Story 4.1:
- User flag storage pattern established - Privacy settings stored as
game.user.setFlag('video-view-manager', key, value) - PlayerPrivacyManager pattern - Core manager class with DI, event emission, validation
- PlayerPrivacyPanel UI pattern - ApplicationV2 + Handlebars + LESS, read-only mode for GM
- Import boundaries - Core only from contracts/utils; UI from core/foundry/contracts
- Testing approach - Vitest with happy-dom, mock FoundryAdapter, TDD
Previous Story Intelligence (Story 4.1)
Learnings from Story 4.1 (Player Privacy Panel & Automation Opt-ins):
- Contract validation is critical -
isValidPrivacySettings()caught type issues early in development - User flags work well for client-local data - No socket broadcasting needed; each client reads its own data
- Read-only mode implementation - Simple comparison of
targetUserId !== currentUserIdeffectively disables editing - FoundryAdapter extension pattern - Adding user flag methods to adapter provided clean DI layer for testing
- ApplicationV2 pattern - Using conditional
_AppBaseallows testing in non-Foundry environments - Localization string organization - Grouping by component/feature made maintenance easier
- Event emission for UI updates - Subscription pattern worked well for reactivity
Code Patterns to Reuse from Story 4.1:
- Constructor dependency injection for testability (PlayerPrivacyManager)
- JSDoc on all exported symbols (enforced by ESLint)
- Private methods prefixed with
_ - Error handling with descriptive messages
- Type validation at boundaries via contract validators
- Event emission for UI updates (subscription pattern)
- Conditional base class for test environment compatibility
Files Created in Story 4.1:

Problems Encountered & Solutions in Story 4.1:
- XSS vulnerability in HTML - Unescaped user input; Fixed by proper escaping in templates
- Static dependency null checks - Missing init() calls; Fixed by adding null checks and proper initialization
- Settings namespace mismatch - Used 'video-view-manager' instead of 'scrying-pool'; Fixed to use consistent namespace
- Event listener leaks - Duplicate listeners on re-render; Fixed by proper cleanup in _onClose()
- Global state anti-pattern - Static _adapter in components; Fixed by passing dependencies through constructors
- Race condition in menu registration - Menu registered before DI init; Fixed by proper initialization order
- Inconsistent FoundryAdapter behavior - getFlagModule/setFlagModule had bugs; Fixed with correct user access pattern
Key Insights for Story 4.2:
- Follow the same DI pattern established in Story 4.1
- Use user flags for storage (no socket needed)
- Extend existing contracts rather than creating new ones where possible
- Add new functionality to existing managers when appropriate
- Ensure all FoundryAdapter dependencies are properly mocked in tests
Architecture Compliance
Technical Stack (Same as Story 4.1):
- Vanilla JavaScript ES2022+ with native ESM
- LESS 4.6.4 → CSS via chokidar watch
- Handlebars
.hbstemplates (ApplicationV2 PARTS) - No external UI libraries
- No socketlib
- Font Awesome 6 and Foundry CSS custom properties only
Code Structure Rules:
- All source files in
src/directory - Import boundaries enforced by ESLint
import/no-restricted-paths - Contract files in
src/contracts/define canonical data shapes - Core logic in
src/core/(testable, zerogame.*access) - Foundry adapter layer in
src/foundry/ - UI components in
src/ui/(player/ subdirectory for player-facing)
Import Restrictions (Enforced by ESLint):
src/contracts/- May import nothing (pure data)src/utils/- May only import fromsrc/contracts/src/core/- May only import fromsrc/contracts/,src/utils/src/foundry/- May import from anywhere (adapter layer)src/ui/- May import fromsrc/core/,src/foundry/,src/contracts/
This Story's Import Plan:
privacy-settings.js(src/contracts/) → extend existing contract (no new imports)PlayerPrivacyManager(src/core/) → extend with portrait methods; imports fromsrc/contracts/PortraitFallbackHandler(src/core/) → NEW; imports fromsrc/contracts/,src/utils/PlayerPrivacyPanel(src/ui/player/) → extend existing; will importPortraitFallbackHandlerfromsrc/core/RoleRenderer(src/ui/) → modify to importPortraitFallbackHandlerfromsrc/core/FoundryAdapter(src/foundry/) → may need portrait access methods
Architecture Decisions to Follow:
- Dependency Injection: All Foundry API dependencies constructor-injected via FoundryAdapter
- Side-Effect-Free Constructors: No hook registration in constructors; use
init()for setup - Role-Differentiated Rendering: Player and GM UIs are separate component trees
- State Authority: PlayerPrivacyManager owns privacy settings; PortraitFallbackHandler owns portrait logic
- Persistence: User flags for portrait settings (world-level, user-scoped)
- Event Pattern: Use subscription/emission pattern for UI updates
Critical Implementation Requirements
1. Portrait Storage Strategy:
// For v1.0: Store as DataURL in user flag
// Pros: Simple, no additional infrastructure
// Cons: Limited by FoundryVTT user flag size (~50KB typical)
// Recommendation: Document size limitation, suggest image optimization
game.user.setFlag('video-view-manager', 'customPortraitFallback', dataURL);
game.user.getFlag('video-view-manager', 'customPortraitFallback');
2. File Validation Pattern:
const VALID_PORTRAIT_FORMATS = ['image/png', 'image/jpeg', 'image/webp', 'image/gif'];
const MAX_PORTRAIT_SIZE = 5 * 1024 * 1024; // 5MB
function validatePortraitFile(file) {
// Check MIME type
if (!VALID_PORTRAIT_FORMATS.includes(file.type)) {
return { valid: false, error: 'Unsupported format' };
}
// Check file size
if (file.size > MAX_PORTRAIT_SIZE) {
return { valid: false, error: 'Image too large' };
}
return { valid: true };
}
3. Portrait Fallback Resolution:
// Priority order:
// 1. Custom Portrait Fallback (from user flag)
// 2. FoundryVTT user avatar
// 3. System placeholder
function getFallbackImageURL(userId) {
const custom = playerPrivacyManager.getPortraitFallbackDataURL(userId);
if (custom) return custom;
const user = adapter.users.get(userId);
if (user?.avatar) return user.avatar;
return DEFAULT_PLACEHOLDER_URL;
}
4. RoleRenderer Integration:
// In _applyAVTileState when CAMERA_ABSENT
if (CAMERA_ABSENT) {
const portraitElement = portraitFallbackHandler.getFallbackImageElement(userId);
this._avTileAdapter.mount(userId, portraitElement);
}
5. File Picker Pattern:
// In _onRender()
const fileInput = document.createElement('input');
fileInput.type = 'file';
fileInput.accept = '.png,.jpg,.jpeg,.webp,.gif';
fileInput.style.display = 'none';
fileInput.addEventListener('change', (e) => this._onFileSelected(e));
this._fileInput = fileInput;
document.body.appendChild(fileInput);
// In _onClose()
if (this._fileInput) {
this._fileInput.remove();
this._fileInput = null;
}
// In button click handler
this._fileInput.click();

Git Intelligence Summary
Recent Commit Pattern (from Story 4.1):
- Feature implemented in focused commits
- Tests written alongside implementation (TDD approach)
- Contracts validated before implementation
- ESLint and typecheck passing before merge
- 35+ unit tests for PlayerPrivacyManager
Files Modified in Story 4.1:
- Added:

Key Insight for Story 4.2:
- Follow the same pattern: contracts first, then core logic, then UI, then integration
- Extend existing files where possible (privacy-settings.js, PlayerPrivacyManager)
- Create new files only when necessary (PortraitFallbackHandler)
- Ensure all tests pass and lint/typecheck are clean
Latest Technical Specifics
Portrait Storage Decision for v1.0:
- Approach: DataURL in user flag
- Rationale:
- Simple implementation with no new infrastructure
- User flags are world-persistent and user-scoped
- No socket broadcasting needed (client-local read)
- Compatible with existing PlayerPrivacyManager pattern
- Limitation: FoundryVTT user flag size limit (~50KB typical)
- Mitigation: Document limitation; recommend optimized images; provide clear error messages
- Future: Could migrate to world settings with unique keys if larger images needed
Supported Image Formats:
- PNG (
image/png) - Lossless, supports transparency - JPEG/JPG (
image/jpeg) - Smaller file size, no transparency - WEBP (
image/webp) - Modern format, good compression, supports transparency - GIF (
image/gif) - Static only (animated GIFs not supported per FR-26)
File Size Limit:
MAX_PORTRAIT_SIZE: 5MB (5 * 1024 * 1024 bytes)- This is higher than FoundryVTT's typical user flag limit to allow for validation before storage
- Actual storage may fail if image exceeds FoundryVTT's limit
- Provide clear error message if storage fails
Image Dimensions:
- AV tile dimensions: From UX-DR4, ParticipantAvatar is 44x44px container with 32px rounded avatar
- Portrait fallback should match AV tile dimensions
- Recommendation: Display at same size as live camera feed (from architecture specs)
- Maintain aspect ratio, use CSS
object-fit: coverorcontain
DataURL Format:
- Format:
data:[<mediatype>][;base64],<data> - Example:
data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAA... - Validation: Check prefix matches supported MIME types
- Size: DataURLs are ~33% larger than binary (Base64 encoding overhead)
FoundryVTT Avatar Access:
- Current user:
game.user.avatar(string URL) - Other user:
game.users.get(userId)?.avatar(string URL) - Avatar URLs are typically relative paths like
/icons/avatars/...or absolute - System placeholder: Use FoundryVTT's default avatar path

What the Developer MUST Know
-
Portrait Storage Strategy for v1.0
- Store portrait as DataURL in user flag:
game.user.setFlag('video-view-manager', 'customPortraitFallback', dataURL) - This is a client-local decision - no socket broadcasting needed
- Each client reads its own user's flags for portrait display
- Limitation: FoundryVTT user flag size limit (~50KB typical)
- Document this limitation in UI and error messages
- Store portrait as DataURL in user flag:
-
Silent Fallback is Mandatory
- If custom portrait fails to load, silently fall back to FoundryVTT avatar
- If no avatar exists, silently fall back to system placeholder
- No errors, no notifications, no console warnings for normal fallback chain
- This is a gracefully degradation requirement
-
File Validation Must Be Strict
- Only accept: PNG, JPG, JPEG, WEBP, static GIF
- Reject animated GIFs (per FR-26: "static GIF")
- Validate MIME type AND file content (don't trust file extension alone)
- Enforce size limit (5MB for validation, but warn about FoundryVTT's ~50KB flag limit)
-
Portrait Display Context
- Custom portrait is ONLY displayed when camera is unavailable:
- State:
never-connected(user joined without camera) - State:
cam-lost(camera stopped working mid-session)
- State:
- NOT displayed for other states like
hidden,self-muted,offline, etc. - Must match AV tile dimensions exactly
- Custom portrait is ONLY displayed when camera is unavailable:
-
Integration with Existing Code
- Extend
privacy-settings.jscontract (add customPortraitFallback key) - Extend
PlayerPrivacyManagerwith portrait methods - Modify
RoleRenderer._applyAVTileState()to use portrait fallback - Modify
PlayerPrivacyPanelto add portrait selection UI - Do NOT break existing functionality
- Extend
-
Import Boundaries
PortraitFallbackHandler(core) can only import from contracts/utilsPlayerPrivacyManagerextensions stay within core/PlayerPrivacyPanelupdates stay within ui/player/RoleRenderermodifications stay within ui/- FoundryAdapter changes stay within foundry/
-
Testing Strategy
- Mock FileReader API for file conversion tests
- Mock FoundryVTT avatar URLs in tests
- Test the complete fallback chain: custom → Foundry avatar → placeholder
- Test error cases: invalid formats, oversized files, non-existent users
-
Backward Compatibility
- If
customPortraitFallbackflag doesn't exist, use default behavior - If PortraitFallbackHandler not provided to RoleRenderer, use existing behavior
- Don't break existing privacy panel functionality
- If
Implementation Order Recommendation
Phase 1: Foundation (No UI, Fully Testable)
- Extend
src/contracts/privacy-settings.jswith portrait key - Create
src/core/PortraitFallbackHandler.jswith core logic - Extend
src/core/PlayerPrivacyManager.jswith portrait methods - Write tests for contracts and core logic
- Verify all tests pass
Phase 2: Integration
- Modify
src/ui/RoleRenderer.jsto use PortraitFallbackHandler - Update
module.jsto wire up PortraitFallbackHandler - Verify existing tests still pass
Phase 3: UI
- Extend
templates/player-privacy-panel.hbswith portrait section - Update
src/ui/player/PlayerPrivacyPanel.jswith file picker handlers - Add CSS styles for portrait section
- Add localization strings
- Write UI tests
Phase 4: Polish
- Add error handling and edge cases
- Verify complete fallback chain works
- Test with various image formats and sizes
- Final lint/typecheck verification
Critical Path Warnings
- Don't block on UI - Core logic in PortraitFallbackHandler and PlayerPrivacyManager extensions can be developed and tested independently of the UI
- FileReader API is async - File to DataURL conversion is asynchronous; handle promises correctly
- DataURL size overhead - Base64 encoding adds ~33% size; account for this in size validation
- FoundryVTT flag size limits - Test with images under 50KB to ensure they work; document the limitation clearly
- Cross-origin images - FoundryVTT avatars are typically same-origin; no CORS issues expected
- Image loading errors - Handle cases where custom portrait URL fails to load (network error, invalid DataURL)
