# Prepare AnomalyGenNext Inputs
The first action freezes eligible false-negative identities, isolates each FN
mask to its bounding box, selects one deterministic same-type mask, and emits
the clean and FN embedding specs. The second action consumes those embedding
results, preserves every FN-to-clean pair, and runs native automatic mask
placement (AMP) from the AnomalyGenNext container. The final action accepts
only pairs for which both mask branches passed AMP, then freezes the exact
generation inputs and their hashes.
## Input contract
Start from `assets/default_filtering.yaml`. The gap parquet must contain:
```text
image_id filepath gap_type bbox class split
dataset_id texture_id defect_class anomaly_type fn_mask_source
```
Identity is explicit: `anomaly_type` must equal
`texture_id+defect_class`. Preparation intentionally has no filename or
directory-layout inference. A caller adapting an unfamiliar dataset must
normalize these fields before this boundary.
+ Clean references are resolved independently for each routed FN/type. A missing
+ directory or a directory with no supported images skips only affected FNs with
+ reason `no_clean_reference_images`; it does not disable other types.
+
Each selected dataset maps to an existing fine-tuned checkpoint and recipe.
The recipe must declare the exact anomaly type, and `defect_spec.jsonl` must
contain its placement definition. Text-routed definitions require a nonempty
`roi_prompt_defect_location`. The pool layout is:
```text
POOL/TEXTURE/clean_image/*
POOL/TEXTURE/mask/DEFECT/*
```
## Action
Run through the selected platform after the common launch review:
```bash
scripts/prepare_anomalygennext_inputs.py \
--config /path/to/filtering.yaml \
--output-dir /new/result/root
```
The output root must not exist. The action emits `fn_queries.parquet`,
`selected_fn_queries.parquet`, `mask_selection.parquet`, `clean_pool.parquet`,
two `tao-generate-image-embeddings` specs, the copied filtering config, and
- `input_contract.json`.
+ `input_contract.json`. Mask eligibility is evaluated per FN. The contract lists
+ eligible FN IDs plus stable skipped FN IDs and machine-readable reasons; skipped
+ FNs are absent from every query, embedding, mask, and AMP input. Donor masks are
+ tried in deterministic order until one valid same-type donor is found.
+ If no FN survives, preparation emits only a `SKIPPED` `input_contract.json`
+ with reason `no_eligible_false_negatives`. Detailed `skip_counts`, per-FN
+ records, and warning evidence distinguish missing clean references from mask
+ eligibility failures. Do not run embeddings or AMP for that typed no-op, and do
+ not represent it as generation success. A partial skip emits warning evidence
+ while specs contain only eligible FNs.
+
Run both emitted specs through `tao-generate-image-embeddings`, preserving the
same encoder. Place their outputs under `embeddings/` as named by the specs,
then submit the `run_amp` action:
```bash
scripts/run_anomalygennext_amp.py \
--config /path/to/filtering.yaml \
--prepared-root /temporary/execution/root \
--published-root /persistent/result/root \
--sam2-checkpoint /models/sam2.1_hiera_large.pt
```
This writes `knn_candidates.parquet`, the native AMP request, and
`amp/testcase.jsonl`. When execution uses temporary storage, `--published-root`
records the persistent locations that will contain the saved results. Finalize
the saved output in that persistent result root:
```bash
scripts/finalize_anomalygennext_inputs.py --prepared-root /existing/result/root
```
The finalizer writes pair status, selected pairs, copied aligned masks,
per-dataset testcase and provenance JSONL, and a generation plan plus integrity
manifest. A clean image is unique only within one FN; separate FNs may reuse it.
Platform skills own staging and cache placement.
## Gates
- Preserve each box-level FN as a distinct `fn_id`.
- Produce exactly two masks per FN: isolated FN and deterministic same-type.
+ - Skip one invalid FN without aborting other eligible FNs.
- Embed a repeated source image once while preserving every FN query row.
- Require successful, nonempty, non-full-image aligned masks for both branches.
- Never infer an anomaly type or placement prompt.
- Refuse output reuse and never mutate a training pool.
- Platform skills own transient staging, caches, and copy-back.
