RANDOMWARE KEEPER SPEC
Creation: creation_d00eea2be53201ac5c2e590bf2f17b6e
Name: Rental Casting Deck
Premise: A battered video-store casting machine pairs one fictional renter with one dog co-star and lets the player recut their impossible straight-to-video career.
Player action: Choose a genre, set the trust dial, then press REWIND & RECUT to roll a new interpretation of the same loaded cast pair.
Style cartridge: 📼 VHS Jacket (vhs-jacket)
Style palette: sun-faded cyan, rental red, tracking white, magnetic-tape black
Style typography: oversized video-box display, catalog monospace, sticker labels
Style motion: tracking jitter, pause stripe, sleeve slide, rewind counter
Style era: 1980s–90s rental cassette package and worn playback deck
Style caution: Noise must be decorative only; never obscure content, controls, attribution, or errors.

Causal chain:
1. randomuser: The fictional person's name, nationality, and portrait define the lead actor and catalog identity.
2. dog-ceo: The dog image becomes the co-star whose visual energy changes chemistry, title, and ending rules.

API roles:
- randomuser: Supplies the named human lead, portrait, and nationality used to construct every tape sleeve and role archetype. [person]
- dog-ceo: Supplies the canine co-star image whose perceived expression drives the chemistry score and recut outcome. [random]

Dependency:
dog-ceo -> rules -> randomuser: The dog image's client-side interpreted energy modifies how the human lead is cast, changing the title, tagline, chemistry meter, and ending.

Interaction:
Controls: genre selector, trust range dial, REWIND & RECUT button
Outcome: Each recut visibly changes the VHS title, role labels, chemistry, sticker verdict, plot beats, and ending while keeping the loaded source pair honest.

Visual direction:
Style: worn VHS rental jacket and playback deck
Palette: sun-faded cyan, rental red, tracking white, magnetic-tape black
Typography: oversized video-box display with catalog monospace labels
Motion: tracking jitter, sleeve slide, rewind counter, pause stripe

Novelty delta: The fixed API pair becomes editable movie grammar: the player recuts roles and endings instead of merely revealing identities or images.
