— No more image calls. Item workflow consumes image claims/text/metadata for catalog-level analysis.
| Transition | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| upload | Pushes realPath (the ai-tools crop) to S3 as the canonical image. When defaults.full_frame_key is present, also archives the original mat under originals/ on S3 for re-processing / QR re-extraction during Python dev. The full-frame archive is planned to drop for real-client tenants. | |
| external_upload | Sets defaults["storage"]["mode"] = "external_url". Used by IIIF imports so the image remains accessible via its external URL and subsequent transitions can run against it directly. Skips triage — the UPLOADED place lets enrich run against the remote URL. | |
| triage | When fired from NEW: local-file mode. ai-tools reads defaults.full_frame_key + defaults.sidecar_key from the shared dir, produces the canonical crop + thumbnail in derivatives/, and returns deskew/type/detections. realPath is repointed at the crop. When re-run from TRIAGED: same, idempotent. Non-URL mode is the only path browser captures take. Failures keep the image in NEW (async retry). | |
| enrich | Single cheap AI call (~$0.0004) against a ≤512px thumbnail, with triage OCR + flags in context. Populates title/description/subjects/people/places/dense_summary and text-type flags. Can run from TRIAGED (using ssai image_view via imgProxy, skipping S3 upload) or from UPLOADED. Re-runnable from enriched for debugging. | |
| extract | The optional second image call. Runs only when enrich_from_thumbnail sets pixelsDone=false. Dispatches by extraction goal/signals: filled forms → ExtractMetadata; handwriting → TranscribeHandwriting; dense print/layout → OcrMistral. Re-runnable. | |
| close | Bookkeeping only. Requires pixelsDone=true. The item workflow performs text-only catalog analysis across all images. | Apply |

Printed caption, postcard layout, and stylized tinted surface indicate a commercially produced postcard image.
|
| ai:speculation |
The handwritten note was added by the sender before mailing or gifting the postcard.
|
1% |
Informal personal message is written directly across the postcard front margin, a common practice on early view cards.
|
| ai:speculation |
The card likely dates from the 1910s.
|
1% |
Apparent handwritten year '16' and the early skyscraper postcard aesthetic both support a 1910s date.

Directly supported by the printed caption 'MANHATTAN LIFE BUILDING, NEW YORK' and the depicted urban high-rise streetscape.
|
| dcterms:spatial | Lower Manhattan, New York City | 1% |
The Manhattan Life Building was in Lower Manhattan, and the image shows a dense early skyscraper district; this is an inference from the identified building rather than a captioned neighborhood.
