AC → Roblox media bridge #

The live, read-only JSON interface is https://assets.aesthetic.computer/roblox/manifest.json . It is hosted in AC’s existing asset store, so updates do not require a Lith or game-code deployment. It is a curated media feed, not a general proxy or a raw-chat mirror.

The first entry is AC’s Pals artwork, imported from its public AC PNG endpoint into Whistlegraph’s Roblox account. Image asset 85149608937004 is approved and active. manifest.json maps its source URL to the Roblox image ID.

From the repo root:

node roblox/bridge/import.mjs import ac-pals
node roblox/bridge/import.mjs poll ac-pals
node roblox/bridge/publish.mjs
node roblox/bridge/publish.mjs --live

The first upload is already recorded under ignored build/ac-pals.json; repeating import refuses to create duplicates. Add an explicitly approved entry to catalog.json to import another AC-owned PNG. Import reads the existing Whistlegraph vault credential; the public manifest contains no credentials. Publish uses the host’s existing Spaces credentials and changes only roblox/manifest.json in assets-aesthetic-computer.

After Roblox reports an approved, active image, add its ID to the manifest, increment revision, and publish. The game polls every 60 seconds, validates schema and approved numeric IDs, and displays the first entry on the lobby wall. Transport caching is 30 seconds. Failures retain the last good image; newer empty manifests clear it. Revision rollback is ignored. Up to 12 entries are accepted; this first display uses one, with no carousel yet.

The renderer uses a fixed credit, not arbitrary external text. Raw clock chat, player identity linking, live event delivery, audio import and arbitrary remote URLs are not implemented. Those need their own contracts; a chat bridge must meet Roblox external-text filtering requirements before displaying messages.
