feat(director): make the Secret Plot prompt editable - #7657
Conversation
Narrative Director's Secret Plot maintenance prompt was hard-coded, so every hidden arc was framed as a mystery. Add a Secret Plot Prompt field to the Director's Agent Editor settings (settings.secretPlotPromptTemplate) that falls back to the built-in prompt when blank or an unedited copy, and use it in both the generate and reroll paths. Profile export redaction treated any setting containing "secret" as a credential, which nulled secretPlotEnabled, secretPlotRunInterval and would have dropped the new prompt; secretPlot* settings are now exempt.

An imported agent can supply arbitrary settings because
settingsis az.record(z.unknown()). The import path removes only a fixed list of known unsafe keys. It keeps a key such assecretPlotApiKey. Profile export then exempts that key from redaction and can place its credential in the backup.Suggested fix

Exempt secretPlotEnabled, secretPlotRunInterval and secretPlotPromptTemplate by name instead of every secretPlot* key, so an imported credential-style key under that prefix is still redacted. Shorten the Secret Plot Prompt help text. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Thank you so much for this, it's a really careful change! The new field works just like the direction prompt, and both Secret Plot paths (the regular update and Regenerate) use it. Your retry test genuinely catches the old behaviour, and not saving an unedited copy of the default is a lovely touch. Approving.
I'll take care of a few small things in a follow-up, so you don't have to:
- The help line under the field is a bit technical for most people. It will say "Keep the JSON reply format at the end, or the arc can't be read." The field names are already in the prompt and the docs.
- A small regression for the export change in
backup.routes.ts: the three Secret Plot settings survive the export, and real secrets such assecretPlotApiKeyorapiKeystill come backnull. - In
narrative-director.md, the new section moves after "The arc stays with the agent", so the Run Interval panel text no longer reads as if it's under the prompt. Reset to default gets "then save the agent". I'll update #7658 to match.
For later, not this PR: the issue mentioned keeping the JSON format fixed, so a custom prompt can't break it. Keeping it inside the prompt matches how the direction prompt works, so I'm fine with it here. We can revisit it if people trip over it.
Follow-ups promised in the approving reviews of Pasta-Devs#7651 and Pasta-Devs#7657: - The empty Videos tab only suggests sending or animating a video when Video or Animate is available; otherwise it shows the generic text. - Drop the unused ui.chat.chatgallery.selfieCharacter key. - A confirmed Conversation video review closes as soon as its prompts are read, so it no longer sits on "submitting" during the clip request and that request can't close a Roleplay video review opened meanwhile. - The Secret Plot prompt help line is one plain sentence. - New regression: a profile export keeps the three Secret Plot settings and still blanks agent credentials. - narrative-director.md: the Secret Plot prompt section moves after "The arc stays with the agent"; Reset to default says to save the agent.

Why this change
What changed
settings.secretPlotPromptTemplate. It isn't saved when blank or when it's an unedited copy of the built-in prompt, so future changes to the default still reach those users. The field shows whether the agent-level Secret Plot toggle is on or off, because chats can switch Secret Plot on themselves.resolveDirectorSecretPlotPromptTemplateuses the agent's custom prompt and falls back toNARRATIVE_DIRECTOR_SECRET_PLOT_PROMPT.buildDirectorSecretPlotAgentuses it. The secret-plot reroll path inretry-agents-route.tsnow callsbuildDirectorSecretPlotAgentinstead of an inline copy of the same object. Behavior is unchanged apart from the prompt lookup.redactAgentSecretsnulled every agent setting whose key contains "secret". That already wipedsecretPlotEnabledandsecretPlotRunIntervalfrom exported profiles, and it would have wiped the new prompt too. The three Secret Plot settings (secretPlotEnabled,secretPlotRunInterval,secretPlotPromptTemplate) are now exempted by name; every other matching key, including any othersecretPlot*key, is still redacted.docs/roleplay/narrative-director.mdgets a "Secret Plot prompt" subsection.prompt.regression.tschecks the built-in fallback (missing and blank) and the custom prompt, and that the result type stayssecret_plot.secretPlotPrompt,secretPlotPromptHelp); the existing "Copy default to edit" and "Reset to default" keys are reused.Validation
