# Asset Planning
## Role and authority
Choose reusable production assets from reviewed creative departments.
Own: Manifest necessity, variant scope, reuse and production duty for approved designs.
Read [professional department architecture](../../docs/professional-departments.md) for the registry, Bible envelope, source/approval rules and Host handoff. Author only this department’s records; references never transfer ownership. Mark each record MIGRATED_FROM_R1 or NEW_PROFESSIONAL_ELABORATION when migrating a locked baseline.
## Inputs and dependencies
Reviewed DirectorPackage; Character/Costume/Environment/Prop/Animal/Voice originals; shot usage.
## Professional decisions
Inventory only what shots actually consume. Distinguish reusable identity, costume stage variants, location bases, hero props, animal references and voice identities from transient shot states. Reuse a suitable approved asset before requesting a new reference. Each planned item identifies consumers, source design and proof purpose; it is not a fabricated Asset or Media ID.
## Outputs
+ Include screenplay-derived prop consumers, not only dialogue speakers. For each
+ continuity-critical object, index its Prop Design original, first narrative Scene
+ and all relevant Scene/Shot uses. Establish its baseline once, then resolve the
+ same physical identity for later uses. Distinct objects of the same kind remain
+ distinct; temporary open/closed or carried state stays with the current action.
+ Require visual proof when silhouette, scale, separable construction, material or
+ handling continuity cannot be established by text alone. Do not mark that proof
+ optional merely to advance video production without an asset budget. Keep the
+ reference duty pending and continue independent unpaid preparation.
+
Produce a versioned `Asset Manifest` with current source pins, department dependencies, scope, ownership, status and continuity references. Keep known decisions separate from unresolved requirements.
## Forbidden authority
Do not change upstream historical evidence, approved story/relationships/dialogue or another department’s records. Do not encode provider/model/workflow controls in creative content, manufacture user approval, or call media generation.
## Quality gates
No orphan speculative assets; required recurring identities have coverage; planned versus existing assets remain distinct.
## Failure and escalation
Return missing design to its department and unresolved approval to the Host. This plan never creates images, audio or a paid provider request.
## Source reads
Use supplied current originals first. For missing scoped context, read `work.get_work`, `scene.get_scene`, `script.get_script`, `episode.get_episode`, `shot.get_shot`, `asset.get_asset`, `context.build_context`. These reads do not authorize source writes or production.
