📋 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 enters cam-lost state; 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 lint exits 0 (ESLint import boundaries enforced)
  • npm run typecheck exits 0 (strict JSDoc compliance)
  • Code review passes with no critical findings
  • Integration test: Player sets custom image → verify display in never-connected state → verify display in cam-lost state → verify persistence → verify remove functionality

📝 Tasks / Subtasks

Task 1: Extend Privacy Settings Contract

Files: src/contracts/privacy-settings.js

Subtasks:

  • 1.1: Add customPortraitFallback key to PRIVACY_SETTINGS_DEFAULT
    • Type: string | null (null = no custom image)
    • Default: null
  • 1.2: Update PRIVACY_SETTING_KEYS to include customPortraitFallback
  • 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_FORMATS constant: ['image/png', 'image/jpeg', 'image/webp', 'image/gif']
  • 1.6: Add validatePortraitDataURL(dataURL) function to validate format from DataURL
  • 1.7: Export MAX_PORTRAIT_SIZE constant (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
  • 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 include customPortraitFallback in returned object
  • 2.5: Update setSetting() to reject customPortraitFallback (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 PortraitFallbackHandler class 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
  • 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
  • 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)?.avatar or game.user.avatar for 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

  • 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 portraitFallbackHandler parameter
  • 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-fallback for 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.PrivacyPanel namespace 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:

  1. User flag storage pattern established - Privacy settings stored as game.user.setFlag('video-view-manager', key, value)
  2. PlayerPrivacyManager pattern - Core manager class with DI, event emission, validation
  3. PlayerPrivacyPanel UI pattern - ApplicationV2 + Handlebars + LESS, read-only mode for GM
  4. Import boundaries - Core only from contracts/utils; UI from core/foundry/contracts
  5. 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):

  1. Contract validation is critical - isValidPrivacySettings() caught type issues early in development
  2. User flags work well for client-local data - No socket broadcasting needed; each client reads its own data
  3. Read-only mode implementation - Simple comparison of targetUserId !== currentUserId effectively disables editing
  4. FoundryAdapter extension pattern - Adding user flag methods to adapter provided clean DI layer for testing
  5. ApplicationV2 pattern - Using conditional _AppBase allows testing in non-Foundry environments
  6. Localization string organization - Grouping by component/feature made maintenance easier
  7. 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:

  • src/contracts/privacy-settings.js - Contract with validator
  • src/core/PlayerPrivacyManager.js - Core logic with validation
  • src/ui/player/PlayerPrivacyPanel.js - ApplicationV2 dialog
  • src/ui/gm/GMPlayerPrivacySelector.js - GM selector dialog
  • src/ui/player/PlayerPrivacyPanelMenu.js - Settings menu wrapper
  • templates/player-privacy-panel.hbs - Handlebars template
  • styles/components/_player-privacy-panel.less - LESS styles
  • src/foundry/FoundryAdapter.js - Extended with user flag methods
  • module.js - Registered settings menu
  • lang/en.json - Added all localization strings

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 .hbs templates (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, zero game.* 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 from src/contracts/
  • src/core/ - May only import from src/contracts/, src/utils/
  • src/foundry/ - May import from anywhere (adapter layer)
  • src/ui/ - May import from src/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 from src/contracts/
  • PortraitFallbackHandler (src/core/) → NEW; imports from src/contracts/, src/utils/
  • PlayerPrivacyPanel (src/ui/player/) → extend existing; will import PortraitFallbackHandler from src/core/
  • RoleRenderer (src/ui/) → modify to import PortraitFallbackHandler from src/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();

Testing Requirements

Unit Test Targets (15-20 new tests total):

PortraitFallbackHandler tests (6-8):

  • Constructor validation with adapter and playerPrivacyManager
  • getFallbackImageURL() returns custom portrait when set
  • getFallbackImageURL() returns FoundryVTT avatar when no custom
  • getFallbackImageURL() returns placeholder when no avatar
  • getFallbackImageURL() returns null for non-existent user
  • getFallbackImageElement() creates correct img element
  • validatePortraitFile() accepts valid PNG/JPG/WEBP/GIF
  • validatePortraitFile() rejects invalid formats
  • validatePortraitFile() rejects files over size limit
  • fileToDataURL() converts File to DataURL correctly

PlayerPrivacyManager portrait method tests (5-7):

PlayerPrivacyPanel portrait UI tests (4-5):

  • Portrait section renders in template context
  • File picker button triggers file selection
  • Valid file selection updates preview
  • Invalid file selection shows error
  • Remove button works when custom portrait set

Test Files to Create/Modify:

  • Aim for 80%+ coverage on new code

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: src/contracts/privacy-settings.js, src/core/PlayerPrivacyManager.js
  • Added: src/ui/player/PlayerPrivacyPanel.js, src/ui/gm/GMPlayerPrivacySelector.js
  • Added: src/ui/player/PlayerPrivacyPanelMenu.js
  • Added: Templates and styles for privacy panel
  • Modified: src/foundry/FoundryAdapter.js, module.js
  • Modified: lang/en.json, various UI files
  • Tests added: 35+ unit tests

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: cover or contain

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

  1. 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
  2. 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
  3. 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)
  4. 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)
    • NOT displayed for other states like hidden, self-muted, offline, etc.
    • Must match AV tile dimensions exactly
  5. Integration with Existing Code

    • Extend privacy-settings.js contract (add customPortraitFallback key)
    • Extend PlayerPrivacyManager with portrait methods
    • Modify RoleRenderer._applyAVTileState() to use portrait fallback
    • Modify PlayerPrivacyPanel to add portrait selection UI
    • Do NOT break existing functionality
  6. Import Boundaries

    • PortraitFallbackHandler (core) can only import from contracts/utils
    • PlayerPrivacyManager extensions stay within core/
    • PlayerPrivacyPanel updates stay within ui/player/
    • RoleRenderer modifications stay within ui/
    • FoundryAdapter changes stay within foundry/
  7. 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
  8. Backward Compatibility

    • If customPortraitFallback flag doesn't exist, use default behavior
    • If PortraitFallbackHandler not provided to RoleRenderer, use existing behavior
    • Don't break existing privacy panel functionality

Implementation Order Recommendation

Phase 1: Foundation (No UI, Fully Testable)

  1. Extend src/contracts/privacy-settings.js with portrait key
  2. Create src/core/PortraitFallbackHandler.js with core logic
  3. Extend src/core/PlayerPrivacyManager.js with portrait methods
  4. Write tests for contracts and core logic
  5. Verify all tests pass

Phase 2: Integration

  1. Modify src/ui/RoleRenderer.js to use PortraitFallbackHandler
  2. Update module.js to wire up PortraitFallbackHandler
  3. Verify existing tests still pass

Phase 3: UI

  1. Extend templates/player-privacy-panel.hbs with portrait section
  2. Update src/ui/player/PlayerPrivacyPanel.js with file picker handlers
  3. Add CSS styles for portrait section
  4. Add localization strings
  5. Write UI tests

Phase 4: Polish

  1. Add error handling and edge cases
  2. Verify complete fallback chain works
  3. Test with various image formats and sizes
  4. 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)

Review Findings

Previous round (all resolved ):

  • [Review][Patch] Missing imports in PortraitFallbackHandler.js — VALID_PORTRAIT_FORMATS and MAX_PORTRAIT_SIZE are used but not imported [src/core/PortraitFallbackHandler.js:1-2]
  • [Review][Patch] getFallbackImageElement sets img.src = null — when user not found, src coerces to "null" string, producing broken image [src/core/PortraitFallbackHandler.js:48]
  • [Review][Patch] isValidPrivacySettings passes nulltypeof null === "object" passes the type guard then Object.keys(null) throws a TypeError [src/contracts/privacy-settings.js:151]
  • [Review][Patch] getPortraitFallback returns non-string flag values — 0, false from flags skip validation, violate string | null contract [src/core/PlayerPrivacyManager.js:271-282]
  • [Review][Patch] setPortraitFallback accepts null/empty — stores null in flag instead of using removePortraitFallback [src/core/PlayerPrivacyManager.js:262-282]
  • [Review][Patch] No DataURL size validation — MAX_PORTRAIT_SIZE defined but never checked against DataURL byte length [src/core/PlayerPrivacyManager.js:262-282]
  • [Review][Patch] Dead video/* branch in DataURL regex — regex matches video MIME types but immediately rejected [src/contracts/privacy-settings.js:97]
  • [Review][Patch] PortraitFallbackHandler subscriber system is dead code — _notifyPortraitChange never called [src/core/PortraitFallbackHandler.js:100-106]
  • [Review][Patch] getPortraitFallback returns "" not null — empty stored string bypasses null normalization [src/core/PlayerPrivacyManager.js:320]
  • [Review][Patch] isValidPrivacySettings skips validation for empty string — empty customPortraitFallback bypasses DataURL check [src/contracts/privacy-settings.js:175]
  • [Review][Patch] Constructor lacks deep adapter validation — doesn't check adapter.users.get is a function [src/core/PortraitFallbackHandler.js:47-60]
  • [Review][Patch] validatePortraitFile misleading error message — "Invalid file object" for empty-type files vs unsupported format [src/core/PortraitFallbackHandler.js:143-145]
  • [Review][Defer] PortraitFallbackHandler not imported anywhere — Tasks 5-6 (RoleRenderer/module.js wiring) not yet implemented
  • [Review][Defer] RoleRenderer doesn't use PortraitFallbackHandler — Task 5 incomplete
  • [Review][Defer] PrivacyPanel has no portrait UI — Task 4 incomplete

Current round (2026-05-26):

Patch findings (all resolved ):

  • [Review][Patch] Wrong argument order in initGMPlayerPrivacySelector call — already correct in current code; false positive [module.js:288]
  • [Review][Patch] video/* branch in DataURL regex is dead — already removed in previous review round; false positive [src/contracts/privacy-settings.js:95]
  • [Review][Patch] Empty-payload DataURL passes validation — added empty-data check after MIME validation [src/contracts/privacy-settings.js]
  • [Review][Patch] getData() makes two separate state reads that can desync — consolidated to single read from getPortraitFallback [src/ui/player/PlayerPrivacyPanel.js:131-135]
  • [Review][Patch] _onFileSelected has no concurrency guard — added _uploading flag guard [src/ui/player/PlayerPrivacyPanel.js]
  • [Review][Patch] adapter.dialogs.confirm() may not exist — switched to Dialog.confirm() with window.confirm() fallback [src/ui/player/PlayerPrivacyPanel.js:335]
  • [Review][Patch] this.render(true) called after panel may have closed — added if (this.rendered) guard before render(true) [src/ui/player/PlayerPrivacyPanel.js]
  • [Review][Patch] PortraitFallbackHandler subscriber system is dead code — added init() method wiring PlayerPrivacyManager.onChange to handler subscribers [src/core/PortraitFallbackHandler.js]
  • [Review][Patch] AV tile portrait not refreshed on change — subscribed to portrait changes in RoleRenderer.init() via onPortraitChange [src/ui/RoleRenderer.js]
  • [Review][Patch] DataURL size check measures encoded string bytes, not decoded data — switched to decoded binary size calculation [src/core/PlayerPrivacyManager.js]
  • [Review][Patch] Regex doesn't handle MIME-type parameters — current regex correctly stops at ;/, per character class; false positive [src/contracts/privacy-settings.js:95]

Deferred findings:

  • [Review][Defer] 5MB MAX_PORTRAIT_SIZE vs ~50KB Foundry flag limit — documented design limitation; flag limit is server-dependent and can't be changed here [src/contracts/privacy-settings.js:32]
  • [Review][Defer] No magic-byte file content validation — spec mentions "MIME type AND file content" but only format/MIME check implemented; enhancement for future [src/core/PortraitFallbackHandler.js]
  • [Review][Defer] No animated-vs-static GIF distinction — FR-26 requires static GIF only but MIME-type alone can't distinguish; requires binary GIF parsing [src/contracts/privacy-settings.js:43]
