cutan.genre

The cut-out animation genre, declared as one object.

ADR 0001 §First slice: the cut-out genre’s IR extensions register through the same door any genre uses — the an.genres entry point (this distribution’s pyproject.toml declares cutout_animation = "cutan.genre:CUTOUT") — instead of being wired into the core. CUTOUT lists:

  • action kinds play (cutan.characters.registration) and expression (cutan.expression.registration);

  • entity kind character, whose nodes are stage nodes (stage.node);

  • the ``[emotion]`` dialogue sugar;

  • its semantic checks: play and expression resolution, brow acting on a character whose brows cannot act (an#252), the turn checks (contradicted from_direction, a mouth hidden while speaking) and view continuity across a cut, placed in the report where they always were;

  • its capabilities and the character analyser (ADR 0002: cutan.library), its vocabulary (motion and expression

    presets, IR-field notes: cutan.characters.vocabulary; the methods:

    cutan.characters.methods) and its aspects, locomotion,

    speech and expression, each with a default chain that ends in a method requiring nothing.

Its name is the persisted genre slug cutout_animation, the one cutan.nw declares to nw (ADR 0001 decision 9: persisted identifiers do not change). It also offers the core services (an.genres.register_service()): the an character / an impacts CLI namespaces, the offline / rhubarb / whisper lip-sync providers, the licence lookup for pre-source descriptors, the library’s publish warning and the expression labels judge_emotion uses; and the runtime script that draws the mouth and the eye.

Importing this module registers nothing: an.genres.load() (or an.genres.register_genre()) does.
