4.5.0 — Intermediate Artifacts Viewer + Error Collector + Pure Polling
Intermediate Artifacts Viewer + Error Collector + Pure Polling
What's New
Features & Improvements
- Intermediate-artifacts viewer — the task detail panel shows every step's intermediate outputs (prompts / images / videos), filterable by mode (creative / manuscript / anchor), with cascading deletion that clears the corresponding state fields, resets downstream steps, and cleans up files.
- Model API error collector — new
core/api/error_collector.pyrecords complete failure info (prompt, error type, HTTP status code, response body, retry count) for text/image/video API calls on every failed attempt (including mid-retry), stored under the active workspace'serror_logs/. API-level error details (e.g.content_policy_violation) are now extracted instead of a generic status code.
Refactoring & Optimizations
- Pure-polling progress — WebSocket removed; progress is read via
GET /api/tasks/{id}with frontend polling (default 30s interval), reducing complexity and making new/resumed task progress display faster and more stable. - Step-state rendering fix — resumed/reopened tasks no longer flash gray on completed steps; colors derive directly from the state field.
- Dynamic image-generation timeout — 60s first attempt, extending to 120s / 180s on retries to avoid premature failures on slow networks.
Bug Fixes
- Artifact deletion now allowed in the stopped state (was 409).
- Artifact list refreshes live while a task is running.
- Intermediate videos play correctly —
<video>tagtype="video/mp4"/playsinline/ size constraints completed. - Play-button clicks fixed — bypassed the
backdrop-filterstacking-context block of the glass card.
