Adds two single-source-of-truth recipe files that drive both the
hot-path render server and the offline pre-render scripts:
- role_scenes.ts: per-role-band scene clauses (clothing + backdrop).
Forklift operators look like forklift operators instead of
collapsing to interchangeable studio shots. SCENES_VERSION mixes
into the headshot cache key so a coordinator tweak refreshes every
matching face on next view.
- icon_recipes.ts: cert / role-prop / status / hazard / empty icons
with deterministic per-recipe seeds + fuzzy text resolver.
ICONS_VERSION suffix on the cached file means edits don't
overwrite in place — misfires are recoverable.
Routes (mcp-server/index.ts):
- GET /headshots/_scenes — exposes SCENES + version to the
pre-render script so prompts don't drift between batch and hot-path.
- GET /icons/_recipes — same idea for icons.
- GET /icons/cert?text=... — resolves free-text cert names to a
recipe and 302s to the rendered icon. 404 (not 500) when no recipe
matches so the front-end can hang `onerror="this.remove()"`.
- GET /icons/render/{category}/{slug} — cache-or-render at 256² (8
steps) for crisper edges than 512² when downsampled to 14px.
ComfyUI portrait support (scripts/serve_imagegen.py):
The editorial workflow had `human, person, face` baked into its
negative prompt — actively sabotaging portraits. _comfyui_generate
now accepts negative_prompt/cfg/sampler/scheduler overrides, and
those mix into the cache key so portrait calls don't collapse into
hero-shot cache hits.
scripts/staffing/render_role_pool.py: pre-renders the role-aware
face pool by reading SCENES from /headshots/_scenes — single source
of truth verified at run time.

Worker cards now ship a real photo per person instead of monogram tiles:
- fetch_face_pool.py pulls 1000 faces from thispersondoesnotexist.com
- tag_face_pool.py runs deepface for gender/race/age, excludes <22yo
- manifest.jsonl: 952 servable, gender/race buckets populated
- /headshots/_thumbs/ pre-resized to 384px webp (587KB -> 11KB,
60x smaller; without this Chrome's parallel-connection budget
drops ~75% of tiles in a 40-card grid)
- /headshots/:key gender x race x age intersection bucketing with
gender-only fallback when intersection is sparse
- /headshots/generate/:key ComfyUI on-demand for the contractor
profile spotlight (cold ~1.5s, cached ~1ms; worker-derived
djb2 seed makes faces deterministic-per-worker but unique
across workers sharing the same prompt)
- serve_imagegen.py _cache_key() now includes seed (was caching
by prompt only -> 3 different worker seeds collapsed to 1
cached image; verified fix produces 3 distinct md5s)
- confidence-default name resolution: Xavier->man+hispanic,
Aisha->woman+black, etc. Every worker resolves to a bucket.
End-to-end: playwright run on /?q=forklift+operators+IL -> 21/21
cards loaded, 0 broken, all 384px webp.
Cache + binary pool gitignored; manifest tracked.

10,000 staffing worker profiles from profit/ethereal repo. Flattened
JSON → CSV → Parquet. Indexed on HNSW (9.5s) + Lance IVF_PQ (7.2s).
SQL hybrid verified: forklift operators in IL with reliability > 0.8
returned exact matches. Vector search alone missed the state filter —
confirms the hybrid SQL+vector routing need from quality eval.
