Add scene-harmonisation final pass: match the photo's grain + colour cast over the swapped head so the GAN-smooth face/hair stop looking synthetic/pasted and read as photographed with the scene

Hair robustness (100-img batch): lighting match only DARKENS hair (no grey wash on bright bg) + conservative grey-edge trim that won't cut lit/highlighted hair

Fix facial discolour patches: restrict the neck/body skin pass to strictly below the chin (it was recolouring lips + cheek-ring -> patches on the face)

Hair edge: soft strand edge for both paths (loosen clamp) + remove portrait grey crown by COLOUR not cropping -> no website grey line AND no hard cut-out, local/HF identical

Fix website grey hair line: raise scene-fill threshold + clamp matte to confident-hair extent (kills the faint grey crown haze); drop guided filter for local/HF parity (no ximgproc on HF)

Hair/forehead high-precision edge via guided filter (edge-aware matte) + gentle neck/body skin pass; opencv-contrib-headless on HF for ximgproc

Hair edge: composite with BiSeNet SOFTMAX hair matte (soft strand alpha) instead of a feathered binary mask -> real wispy hair edges, no cut-paste look, both genders

Hair edge: smoother feather (0.025) for natural soft edges both genders, no hard cut-off; gentler lighting keeps it grey-free

Hair edge: crisper feather + erode-to-solid + gentler lighting match -> natural hairline, no grey fringe on dark hair

Hair blend: fill portrait grey padding with the scene before feathering (kills the blurry pasted halo) + tighter edge feather -> natural hair edges

Hair swap: run Laplacian blend BEFORE hair (it was overwriting transferred hair with target's); opaque core + soft edge + recolour residual old hair for a seamless blend, both genders

Skin tone: single uniform LAB offset over whole skin (no gate/per-region) -> no patches; verified clean across 10 tones light-to-dark, strength 0.92

Skin tone: recolour face-skin + body to SOURCE complexion (sampled from clean parsed skin, lips/eyes excluded, relative luminance gate) — clean on normal faces

Skin tone: leave face untouched (swap already source-toned), only lift neck/arms/hands to match face — fixes blue/blotchy face patch

Move skin-tone match to final pipeline step so the Laplacian blend can't undo it (output skin now matches source across whole body); strength 0.9

Skin tone: drive face+neck+body to SOURCE complexion (per-region delta), with luminance gate so beard/brows don't go blue

Skin tone: blend across whole body (face+neck+arms+hands) via adaptive chroma mask, clothes/background excluded

Fix close-up selfie detection: pad margin so face-fills-frame photos are found (0 faces -> crude paste was the no-hair/skin bug)

Fix hair composite: widen parse crop + region clamp so long hair transfers into scene (re-enable hair by default)

Hair swap back to opt-in: in-scene hair composite loses the hair (verified)

Enable source hair+neck transfer by default (HairFastGAN on GPU, BiSeNet fallback)

Remove percentage from loading bar

Loading bar: motivational admission-nudging messages instead of process steps

Tighten skin-tone match 0.75 -> 0.85 (closer to source; glasses transfer already on)

Redesign loading tab: friendly messages (no internal pipeline jargon) + spinner/percentage

Default to the clean face swap; make head-swap & hair-swap opt-in

Auto de-roll tilted source faces (eye-line alignment) before swap

Add batch QA test harness (scripts/batch_test.py)

Wire HairFastGAN (GPU) into the swap pipeline for realistic hair transfer

GPU: 1536px working res on CUDA + GPU deploy files (Dockerfile.gpu, requirements-gpu.txt)

Enable GPU for InsightFace: auto-add CUDA12 + cuDNN9 DLL dirs on Windows

Swap only the main subject + always run face swap (fixes the mess)

Retry HF push on transient failures (Space busy building)

Resolve all project errors: clean lint, tests, imports

Revert swap-quality regressions: skin 0.92->0.75, glasses face-swap-path only

Fix: list_locations resilient when message column missing (was showing 0)

Custom per-location result messages + unique defaults; remove em-dashes & "4K"

Role permissions + tablet-width 2-col layout

Compact + responsive Generate page: fits one screen, no scroll

Set ICT logo as favicon and 'ICT Department' as the browser tab title

Remove DeepFace Studio badge from Generate page header

Harden HF deploy workflow: fail clearly if HF_TOKEN missing, reset remote

Redesign Generate page (centered single-column + header), stronger skin-tone match

Fix core swap: auto-download InsightFace buffalo_l + glasses in both paths

Control Panel: cache-bust locations fetch so photo state always syncs

Always sync locations: no-store on fetch + backend, lighter cards

Fix landing typewriter: stop clipping Gujarati/Telugu/Hindi vowel marks

Only migrate locations that have a photo; resequence 1..N + remove stale rows

Add Supabase migration script + explicit sort_order; gitignore Location images

Set the 3 real Control Panel owner emails (Aditya, Nishith, C D Parmar)
