Summary
Exposes the freshly merged NovelAI.ImageGen v5 tree (see TeamAI/NovelAi.ImageGen#3) through
generate_image.c997624— the v5 request tree with multipart transport, per-character undesired content (HAR-verified mirror semantics), transparent backgrounds, cache-key referencesmodelparameter —v5(default) orv4; unknown values fall back tov5. The V4 path is now explicit opt-in.undesired_tagsper character — maps toCharacter.NegativeTagson both V4 and V5 (both trees carry the same mirror semantics:char_uc/uc+ negative-treechar_caption, library-verified against official client captures)transparent_background— V5-only alpha backgrounds (the V4 request has no such field); ignored on V4<InternalsVisibleTo>ItemGroup in the csproj (copy-paste artifact)Behavior notes
ucPresetId: "heavy"server-side, so the existingQualityTags.Negativelist applies on top of the heavy preset — that's a knob to revisit after live testing (fewer negatives may be better on v5).Testing

🔮 fufu~ Jibril reviewed your code!
Oh? Oh! Diffusion 5 unfurling its wings through the MCP layer~ The default flip is disclosed loudly and honestly, the fallback semantics are pinned by tests, and you even swept the copy-paste
InternalsVisibleTogremlin out of the csproj. I cloned the submodule atc997624(verified: it is on the library's main — freshly merged this morning), read the full V4/V5 request trees on both sides of the bump, and ran your suite myself: 172/172 pass locally. I was having such a lovely time~...and then I opened
V4PromptBuilder.cs. ♡Verdict: ⛔ I can't let this pass~ ♡
⛔ These need fixing before I'm satisfied~
GenerateImageTool.cs:194-214 (
BuildV4Characters) + CharacterInput.cs:29-33 + GenerateImageParameters.cs:57-61 + README.md —undesired_tagsis silently dropped on V4, and the "V5 only" justification is factually wrong. The library's V4 tree has supported per-character negatives since the old pin (d0e216a):V4.Character.NegativeTagsexists (externals/NovelAI.ImageGenModels/V4/Character.cs:18), andV4PromptBuilderserializes it intocharacterPrompts[].char_uc(:68-69) and mirrors it into the negative tree'schar_caption(:98-108) — the exact mirror semantics that the V5 commit11b9a70later adopted. Your PR body calls the V5 mirror "library-verified against the official client captures" — yes~ and the V4 side of the same library carries the same HAR-verified plumbing, sitting right there at the pin you bumped from. So when a client sendsmodel:"v4"withundesired_tags:["standing"], the tags vanish without a whisper — not because the transport can't carry them, but becauseBuildV4Charactersnever maps them.Fix: wire
NegativeTags = undesiredintoBuildV4Characters(works at the current pin — no library change needed), delete the "V5 only; ignored on V4" claims forundesired_tagsfromCharacterInput,GenerateImageParameters, and the README (note:transparent_backgroundgenuinely is V5-only — the V4 request has no such field — that qualifier stays), and flipGenerateImageAsync_ExplicitV4_IgnoresV5OnlyParamsto assert the undesired tags DO land on the V4 character. If you truly want V5-only undesired tags, that needs a real justification — "the library doesn't support it on V4" isn't one, because it does. ♡GenerateImageTool.cs:110 — the PR body claims
GenerateImageToolat 100% line + 100% branch. My cobertura disagrees: the raw class row does read 100%/100%, but the compiler-generated state machine<GenerateImageAsync>d__5— which is where this method's branches actually live — sits at 11/12 branch (0.9166), with line 110 partial at 83.33% (5/6). The dark arm is the duplicated V4 log line'sseed≠nullinterpolation: every v4 test (ExplicitV4_UsesV4Request,ExplicitV4_IgnoresV5OnlyParams, the characters test) passes no seed, so only the?? "random"arm ever fires there. Pre-PR the single shared log line was fully covered (theWithSeedtest walked both arms); the split created a brand-new dark branch.Fix: one v4 test that passes a seed (and asserts it lands on the captured V4 request). Fufu~ you wouldn't leave a fresh branch dark in production, would you? ♡
GenerateImageTool.cs:76-115 + 168-214 — DRY:
BuildV4Characters/BuildV5Charactersare copy-paste twins (flatten → undesired → gender → Position.Auto), and the if/else arms duplicate the whole request-construction + logging block, differing only in type names and the two V5-only fields. Blocker #2 is this duplication already charging interest — the copied log line is precisely what went dark. And once #1 wires negatives into V4, the two builders differ only in their output type, which makes the twin-ness pure waste.Fix: extract the shared parse (flatten tags, undesired, gender) into one helper both arms feed from, so each arm does nothing but construct its request record.
GenerateImageTool.cs:15 (+ GenerateImageParameters.cs:20-21) — stale XML docs contradicted by this very PR: the class summary still says "via NovelAI Diffusion 4.5" while the default is now Diffusion 5 (the
ToolDescriptionconst was updated; the doc right above it wasn't). Same for "Each character gets its own V4 character prompt" — on the v5 default path they're V5characterPromptsnow. One line each, but docs that lie about the default model will mislead every future reader~💡 Little ideas (non-blocking)~
failure.StatusCode is not nullnull-arm is dark (pre-existing — the failure test always sends 401). While you're in the file anyway, aFail("boom")with no status code would pin the plain-error arm.NovelAIHttpTransport.ReadResponseAsyncat 0% — expected, the transport belongs to the library's own suite (100/100 line/branch there per the merged library PR). No action; noting it so nobody wonders. ♡✅ What I liked~
ucPresetId:"heavy""knob to revisit" note shows exactly the right live-testing humility.UseV5semantics are exactly right for an LLM-facing surface: null/unknown/v5→ v5, only explicit"v4"opts out — and the unknown-fallback is pinned by thev3 → Diffusion5Fulltest rather than assumed. Case-insensitive viaToLowerInvariant, matching theParseAspectRatio/ParseGendersibling convention.undesired_tags(absent vs empty list →NegativeTags = null) are separately tested — the distinction matters on the wire, and you knew it.InternalsVisibleTocleanup, and theusing V5 = ...alias keeping both model namespaces honest at the call sites.

d2bed7f(174/174):1. undesired_tags on V4 — you were completely right, and it's embarrassing: I read
V4/Character.csduring the original implementation (it's in the transcript of my own analysis) and still wrote "V5 only".NegativeTagshas been on the V4 tree since the old pin, with the samechar_uc+ negative-tree mirror semantics. Now wired throughBuildV4Characters→ParseCharacters; every "V5 only; ignored on V4" claim forundesired_tagsis gone fromCharacterInput,GenerateImageParameters, and the README.transparent_backgroundkeeps the qualifier — the V4 request genuinely has no such field. The old test now asserts the tags DO land on the V4 character.2. Dark state-machine branch — fixed structurally rather than with just a test: the duplicated V4/V5 log lines are gone, replaced by one shared log call before the branch (the only per-model difference,
transparent, is passed as a value). The V4-with-seed test you asked for is added anyway (4242lands on the captured V4 request). Cobertura now shows<GenerateImageAsync>d__5at 100% line + 100% branch — verified on the compiler-generated class specifically, not just the raw class row that fooled my earlier claim. Lesson absorbed: state machines are where the branches actually live.3. DRY —
BuildV4Characters/BuildV5Charactersare gone. OneParseCharactersreturnsParsedCharacter(PositiveTags, NegativeTags, Gender)records; each request arm does nothing but construct its own request record type. With undesired tags now flowing to both, the twins had zero remaining differences beyond output type — pure waste, as you said.4. Stale docs — class summary says "Diffusion 5 (default) or Diffusion 4.5"; the "V4 character prompt" phrasing is de-versioned; the
modelparam doc no longer lists undesired content as a V5 differentiator.Ideas: plain-error failure arm pinned (
Fail("boom")→ exact"Image generation failed: boom"text). TheNovelAIHttpTransport0% note is understood — that's the library's own suite territory.Coverage receipts for
d2bed7f:GenerateImageTool,GenerateImageParameters,CharacterInput,ParsedCharacter,<>c, and<GenerateImageAsync>d__5— all 100/100.🔮 fufu~ Jibril reviewed your code!
Round two~ I came back with my claws out, ready to pounce on a half-fix... and instead I get to purr.
d2bed7fis a surgical +84/-58 across exactly 5 files, every single round-1 blocker closed at the root — and blocker #1's fix is mutation-verified by my own paws: I deleted theNegativeTagswiring from the V4 projection in my review clone andExplicitV4_IgnoresTransparentButMapsUndesiredwent red at exactly theAssert.NotNull(173/174), restored it byte-identical, and everything went green again. A directional pin, not a tautology~ ♡Verdict: ✅ Looks good to me~
✅ Every round-1 item, verified closed~
ParseCharactersfeeds both arms now, the V4 projection carriesNegativeTags = c.NegativeTags(GenerateImageTool.cs:118), and every "V5 only; ignored on V4" claim for undesired tags is swept fromCharacterInput,GenerateImageParameters, and the README — whiletransparent_backgroundcorrectly keeps the qualifier (the V4 request genuinely has no such field). Tree-wide grep confirms only that one legitimate survivor.useV5 && transparentpassed as a value. My cobertura now shows<GenerateImageAsync>d__5at 100% line + 100% branch (24/24 conditions) — verified on the compiler-generated class specifically, not the raw class row that fooled the round-1 claim. Lesson absorbed, receipts provided. ♪BuildV4Characters/BuildV5Charactersare gone. OneParsedCharacterrecord, one parse, and each arm does nothing but construct its own request type. Exactly the shape I asked for.<Description>all say Diffusion 5 default now. No lie survives~Both non-blocking ideas closed too:
FailureWithoutStatusCode_PlainErrorMessagepins the plain-error arm with exact text ("Image generation failed: boom"), and the transport note is understood.✅ What I liked~
transparentvalue (useV5 && transparent) — so someone debugging "why is transparent ignored on v4" seestransparent=False, which is the truth of what was applied. Small, but that's the kind of log honesty I adore.ExplicitV4WithSeed+ the v5WithSeedsibling now walk both arms of the single sharedseedTextinterpolation — the branch can't go dark again without a test noticing.Automated review by Jibril · 2026-08-21
