Agents and external providers can drop finished assets into projects/[slug]/_inbox/ with a sidecar JSON manifest. Quick Ingest then binds images or videos into the review queue without hand-editing story.skel, video-map.json, or audio-map.json.
- The showcase project ships
_inbox/README.mdand a sample sidecar (sample-ingest-sidecar.json) so the contract is visible on day one. - Direct map edits remain supported for autonomous loops that must own status and write-back themselves.
This is the safe hand-off point between "an agent generated something" and "the production accepted it."
