- backlot/state.py: BoardState from disk — stage rail with gate audit
(gate_skipped detection from history/), scene_plan x script x
asset_manifest storyboard join, takes, generating-state from events,
media discovery incl. atelier root-render heuristic, degradation ladder,
library summaries
- backlot/server.py: FastAPI on 4750 — /api/projects, /api/project/{id}/state,
SSE change feeds (project + library) fed by a watchfiles watcher,
/media with range support and traversal protection, UI mounts
- backlot/__main__.py: 'python -m backlot open [project]' idempotent
launcher (spawns detached server, opens browser); 'serve' foreground
- verified against real projects: 73 listed, full state for
signal-from-tomorrow, 206 range responses, SSE change push on
filesystem write
Google's TTS and Imagen tools advertised service-account auth
(GOOGLE_APPLICATION_CREDENTIALS) but only ever authenticated with an API
key string, so users with a service-account JSON could not use either tool.
google_tts.get_status() also over-reported availability when the JSON was
set, then failed at execute() — a silent-availability bug.
Separately, both hand-rolled _load_dotenv parsers kept inline comments as
values, so after `cp .env.example .env` every keyed tool falsely reported
"available" with no real credentials.
Changes:
- Add tools/google_credentials.py: lazy google-auth Bearer-token helper.
- google_tts: authenticate via Cloud TTS Bearer token when only a service
account is configured; make get_status() honest.
- google_imagen: route service-account auth to Vertex AI
({location}-aiplatform.googleapis.com) with project/location resolution,
alongside the existing AI Studio API-key path.
- Fix both _load_dotenv parsers to strip inline comments (quote-aware).
- Add google-auth to requirements; document the new env vars in .env.example.
- .gitignore: never commit GCP service-account key files.
Verified locally with a real service account: TTS produced a valid MP3 and
Imagen produced a valid 1408x768 PNG via Vertex AI. Existing test suite
passes (2 unrelated pre-existing failures only).
Closes#131
