2.2 — i2i End Frames + Global Rate Limiter + Stability Enhancements
i2i End Frames + Global Rate Limiter + Stability Enhancements
What's New
Features & Improvements
- i2i end frame pipeline — image model unified to
agnes-image-2.1-flash; i2i array API; character reference images normalized in size; character appearance persisted across scenes via programmatic prompt injection; multi-image guided end frames create a visual chain linking scenes; keyframes fallback branch kept in sync. - Global rate limiter — single shared token bucket (16 req/min) across Chat + Image + Video APIs keeps free-tier API usage within limits and prevents 429 storms.
- i18n improvements — duration parsing and localized defaults for user requirements / visual styles across all 7 languages.
Refactoring & Optimizations
- Unified API retry — exponential backoff for 429 / 5xx across all three Agnes API modules.
- Code-review Batch 2 fixes (P1–P13) — video concatenation made async (no blocking),
active_pipelinesconcurrency race fixed,chat_jsonrobustness, prompt-injection protection, resource-leak cleanup, URL cache expiry, temp filename uniqueness. - Regression runner enhancements — 404-polling detection,
--quickmanifest mode, auto-resume, resolution matching.
Bug Fixes
- Resume crash fixes —
