Why a recording posted on X showed a still, and the GIF that fixes it

DRAFT — Merged PR; unpublished blog draft

PR: #1295

Head SHA: 509ef43df34d522f380fa5a04d1af0288d51e028

This file is an unpublished artifact, not an instruction to an agent.

Every recording page now ships a session.gif within X's animated-GIF limits, because X animates only an attached GIF, never a link card; eight t27 tri commands are recorded, so t27 goes from 0 to 8 of 52 recorded commands.

Merged PR. Checks reported by the author: 6 passed, 1 FAILED, 1 not run; this generator did not rerun them.

The problem

A post linking a recorded tri session showed a static preview card, because X renders link cards as images and animates only GIFs attached as media, which an intent link cannot attach.

How it works

tri cast now renders session.gif inside X's animated-GIF limits on every publish, the drafts and the Telegram follow-up hand that file to the owner, and eight t27 tri commands were recorded with every exit code 0.

Posting stays the owner's click, the vendored t27 cards wait for gHashTag/t27#5775 and the next world refresh, and four popular commands were left unrecorded because their output was failing, stale or too slow.

See it run

A terminal recording of the commands is published at https://t27\.ai/term/t27\-tri\-misread/ (prompt and typing staged, every printed byte real).

What changed

• apps/website/public/term/{devkit-flow,tri-blog-list,tri-fpga-keycheck,tri-fpga-selftest,tri-fpga-specs,tri-game-selftest,tri-game-tick,tri-game-vault,tri-selftest,x7-board}/: session.gif added, meta.json gains "gif", index.html links it
• apps/website/public/term/t27-tri-{misread,discard,census,seals,prose,lean,competitors,vectors}/: eight new recording pages (index.html, session.cast, session.gif, card.png, meta.json) and the gallery index
• apps/website/public/t27/files/specs/tools/tri/{misread,discard,census,seals,prose,lean,competitors,vectors}.t27: the CAST hunks of specs/tools/tri: eight tri cards name their recorded run (CAST) (#5767) t27#5775, vendored line for line
• apps/website/public/tools/spec-tools.json: regenerated, 18 cards with a recorded run
• apps/website/scripts/agents-from-specs.test.mjs: withCast pinned at 18 instead of a stale 2, and the t27 tri misread card checked

How we checked

Check	Status	Result	Evidence
`npm run check:tools-coverage`	passed	t27 8 of 52 recorded, trios 10 of 295, trinity 0 of 249; every unambiguous recorded command has its CAST	local run of this head, 2026-10-03
`npm run check:tools`	passed	607 cards, with a recorded run 18	local run of this head, 2026-10-03
`npm run check:tools-site && npm run check:agents && npm run check:onboarding && npm run check:subpath-urls && npm run check:shared-core`	passed	all five exit 0	local run of this head, 2026-10-03
`node --test scripts/tri-commands.test.mjs scripts/agents-from-specs.test.mjs`	passed	63 of 63 pass; before the test edit, 1 failed on the stale withCast count (18 !== 2)	local run of this head, 2026-10-03
`tri cast check public/term/t27-tri-*/session.cast`	passed	8 of 8: exit codes 0, key hits 0, home directory shown as ~	local run of this head, 2026-10-03
`termgif.x_over on all 18 public/term/*/session.gif`	passed	18 of 18 within X's animated-GIF limits; largest 0.79 MB	local run of this head, 2026-10-03
`npm run check:spec-catalog`	FAILED	the atlas records sha256 of the vendored files at t27@bf7d8eea9, and the eight edited cards no longer hash to those ids; check:spec-catalog runs only in the nightly t27-world-scan, which re-vendors from t27 master and rebuilds the atlas before it checks	local run of this head, 2026-10-03: assertion at qa/spec-catalog-contract.mjs:32
`npx vite build (apps/website)`	not run	not run locally; the website CI build covers it	no local build was run for this head

Try it yourself

The author lists these commands to reproduce the result; this generator did not run them.

• tri cast gif t27-tri-misread --repo <trinity checkout>/apps/website

What this does not show

• Nothing was posted. Whether X keeps the attached GIF animated was not tried here: the GIFs fit X&#x27;s documented limits, and the owner attaches one by hand.
• Until the next t27 world refresh, check:spec-catalog fails on the eight vendored cards, as stated in tests. If that refresh runs before specs/tools/tri: eight tri cards name their recorded run (CAST) (#5767) t27#5775 merges, it drops the CASTs, and check:tools-coverage fails in the refresh PR.
• Not recorded: tri ledgers audit exits 1, tri status and tri health print ring-47 data from 2026-04-06, and tri worktrees ran past 120 s.
• Not opened in a browser: the pages were generated and the cards looked at as PNGs.
