# Session 01: Media Requirements and Provenance Baseline

**Session ID**: `phase04-session01-media-requirements-and-provenance-baseline` **Status**: Not Started **Estimated Tasks**: \~14-18 **Estimated Duration**: 2-4 hours

***

## Objective

Create the Phase 04 source-backed media requirements, provenance baseline, and session routing matrix before implementation begins.

***

## Scope

### In Scope (MVP)

* Audit current tracked media, app-owned runtime assets, public demo media, media docs, release docs, and relevant package READMEs.
* Inventory historical media groups as reference-only standards and gaps without copying, transforming, or promoting files.
* Define media catalog categories for images, audio, music, optional video, HUD art, portraits, achievements, showcase media, generated references, and prototype-only evidence.
* Create a media gap matrix with source evidence, owner session, acceptance notes, risk level, and final disposition.
* Update PRD, UX PRD, architecture, media, privacy, release, and legacy-consolidation wording where Phase 04 scope needs stable boundaries.

### Out of Scope

* Generating, recording, promoting, or replacing runtime media.
* Implementing catalog schemas, runtime audio controls, or service worker changes.
* Wiring hosted storage, analytics, War Room federation, collaboration, real executors, or final legacy deletion.

***

## Prerequisites

* [ ] Phase 03 validation and documentation closeout artifacts are available.
* [ ] Current media asset docs, public demo docs, architecture docs, privacy docs, and package READMEs are reviewed.
* [ ] `EXAMPLES/` remains quarantined evidence only and locally available if traceability checks need it.

***

## Deliverables

1. Phase 04 media gap matrix with source, owner session, acceptance, and deferral notes.
2. Updated product and UX wording for media catalog and audio/visual pipeline scope.
3. Stable documentation updates for current versus planned media behavior.
4. Security, privacy, provenance, and release-blocker baseline for later Phase 04 sessions.

***

## Success Criteria

* [ ] Maintainers can identify which Phase 04 session owns each media gap.
* [ ] Requirements distinguish owned/generated runtime media from quarantined evidence and prototype-only files.
* [ ] Provenance, attribution, optimization, metadata, size, accessibility, and privacy constraints are explicit before implementation.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://faction-os.gitbook.io/faction-os-docs/.spec_system/archive/phases/phase_04/session_01_media_requirements_and_provenance_baseline.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
