The aspect floor is really an ALBUM-ART guard -- its own comment says so: a
square sleeve passes every other gate, and Camping in Alaska's square "lost and
found" artwork once reached a live hero slot that way. But it was written as a
blanket "wide only" rule, so it also discarded portrait press photography one
crate before the machinery built to handle it.
The app already crops tall sources to 16:9 around detected faces: hero_crop.rs
keeps full source width, slides the window vertically, and applies headroom
rules above the topmost face (recipe vertical-yoloxnano-...-faces-first).
maximal_hero_rect exists specifically for sources taller than 16:9. Meanwhile
the selection gate in the metadata crate rejected everything below 1.15, so
those images never arrived.
Sleeves are square; press portraits are not. Admitting ratio <= 0.92 with at
least 1000px of width keeps the guard exactly where release artwork lives while
opening the one route to a hero for artists whose entire press corpus is
portrait. Posters and flyers cannot enter this way either: the text, flat and
collage gates all run before this one.
Hana Vu goes from BANNER NONE to 2 -- the LA Times 2000x2500 portrait and an
Our Culture press shot -- and renders correctly, face placed with headroom.
Camping in Alaska is unchanged, same three banners. Square 1:1 press crops
(Nikki Nair's Rinse FM and Corsica shots) stay rejected, which is the guard
still doing its job.
