[AutonomousArtist] Failed to spawn Result widget

Error message

[AutonomousArtist] Failed to spawn Result widget

What it means

The autonomous artistry module wraps its 'spawn Result widget' call (a card-store widget spawn carrying status 'done', the image payload, prompt, title, _skipIngestion, size 'm', ttlMs 0) in try/catch. When the widget layer throws, only the widget is lost - the artwork was already applied to the card/background - and the caught widgetErr is logged after this prefix. This occurrence is the image-only delivery branch.

Solutions

1. Inspect the logged widgetErr object right after the message - it is the actual spawn exception
2. Pre-validate that result.imageUrl || result.base64 is non-empty before the artist run reaches widget spawn
3. Ensure the widget/card store and its container are initialized before enabling the autonomous artist
4. Note the artwork itself is not lost (card/background update precedes the spawn); decide whether a manual retry is worth it
5. Re-run the artist tick if the failure was timing-related - later spawns usually succeed

Example fix

// before
imageUrl: result.imageUrl || result.base64,

// after
const image = result.imageUrl || result.base64
if (!image) {
  artistLog('No image payload; skipping widget spawn')
  break
}
// ... imageUrl: image,

const image = result.imageUrl || result.base64
if (!image) {
  artistLog('No image payload; skipping widget spawn')
  return
}

try {
  await spawnResultWidget({ entryId, imageUrl: image, title: analysis.title })
}
catch (widgetErr) {
  // artwork already applied - never let widget failure break the artist tick
  console.warn('[AutonomousArtist] Failed to spawn Result widget', widgetErr)
}

When it happens

Trigger: The widget spawn promise rejects: empty image payload (neither result.imageUrl nor result.base64 present), widget/card store not initialized when the artist tick fires, renderer teardown racing the spawn, or an invalid widget payload (oversized base64, bad entryId).

Common situations: Art provider returning neither a hosted URL nor base64; module firing before the widget container mounts; memory pressure in the renderer; version drift between the artist module and widget store API.
