+# Semantic AI Server Implementation Summary
+
+## Overview
+
+This implementation provides a 64-bit C++ Semantic AI Server designed for FrameForge Studio, a professional 3D pre-visualization software. The server processes natural language commands through intent classification and validation using llama.cpp.
+
+## Problem Statement Requirements
+
+### ✅ Implemented Requirements
+
+1. **JSON Command Schema** ✓
+   - Defined comprehensive schema with verbs (PAN, TILT, LEAN, ROLL, DOLLY, TRUCK, PEDESTAL, ZOOM, FOCUS, ADD, DELETE, MODIFY, SELECT, SHOT, CUT)
+   - Each verb has required and optional parameters
+   - Four action groups: CAMERA_CONTROL, ACTOR_POSE, OBJECT_MGMT, SHOT_MGMT
+
+2. **Intent Engine** ✓
+   - Uses Llama-3 (or compatible models) for intent classification
+   - Strict system prompt for mapping user input to action groups
+   - Extracts parameters from natural language
+   - Handles fuzzy matching (e.g., "PIN LEFT" → "PAN LEFT")
+   - Returns ONLY valid JSON
+
+3. **Command Validation Logic** ✓
+   - CommandValidator class checks LLM output against schemas
+   - Validates required parameters
+   - Returns error objects for missing parameters
+   - Fuzzy verb matching using Levenshtein distance (≤2 edits)
+
+4. **Communication** ✓
+   - Named Pipes IPC for high-speed inter-process communication
+   - Cross-platform (Windows and Unix/Linux)
+   - Resident process (sidecar architecture)
+   - Can send validated JSON to external applications
+
+5. **JSON Library** ✓
+   - Uses nlohmann/json (already vendored in llama.cpp)
+   - All commands are JSON-formatted
+
+### ⚠️ Partial Implementation
+
+- **Whisper Integration**: Not directly integrated as whisper.cpp is a separate repository. The server accepts transcribed text through IPC, so whisper.cpp can be run as an external process that sends transcriptions to the semantic server.
+

+  - **Interactive**: Command-line interface for testing
+  - **IPC**: Production mode with Named Pipes
+- Signal handling for graceful shutdown
+- Integration of all components
+
+## Usage Examples
+
+### Interactive Mode
+```bash
+./build/bin/llama-semantic-server -m llama-3-8b-instruct.gguf --interactive
+
+> Pan left 30 degrees
+Result: {
+  "verb": "PAN",
+  "action_group": "CAMERA_CONTROL",
+  "parameters": {
+    "direction": "LEFT",
+    "degrees": 30.0,
+    "speed": 1.0
+  }
+}
+
+> Add a chair
+Result: {
+  "verb": "ADD",
+  "action_group": "OBJECT_MGMT",
+  "parameters": {
+    "object_type": "chair"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### IPC Mode
+```bash
+# Start server
+./build/bin/llama-semantic-server -m llama-3-8b-instruct.gguf --pipe-name frameforge_semantic
+
+# In another process, send commands via pipe
+echo "pan left" > /path/to/pipe/frameforge_semantic
+```
+
+## Testing
+
+### Unit Tests
+
+1. **test_schema.py** - Python schema validation
+   - Tests command schema definitions
+   - Validates JSON examples
+   - Tests error response formats
+   - Tests IPC message formats
+
+2. **test-validator.cpp** - C++ validator logic
+   - Tests SchemaRegistry
+   - Tests CommandValidator
+   - Tests fuzzy matching
+   - Tests enum conversions
+
+### Test Results
+```
+Python Tests:
+✓ Command schemas are well-defined
+✓ All example commands are valid JSON
+✓ Fuzzy matching examples defined
+✓ Error responses are well-defined
+✓ IPC message formats are well-defined
+
+C++ Tests:
+✓ SchemaRegistry tests passed
+✓ CommandValidator tests passed
+✓ Fuzzy matching tests passed
+✓ Enum conversion tests passed
+```
+
+## Integration with Whisper.cpp
+
+Since whisper.cpp is a separate repository, the recommended integration approach is:
+
+1. **Run whisper.cpp separately** to transcribe audio to text
+2. **Send transcribed text** to semantic server via Named Pipe
+3. **Receive validated commands** from semantic server
+4. **Forward commands** to FrameForge Bridge
+
+Example integration flow:
+```
+[Microphone] → [Whisper.cpp] → {"text": "pan left"} 
+              ↓
+[Semantic Server] → Validation & Classification
+              ↓
+{"verb": "PAN", "action_group": "CAMERA_CONTROL", "parameters": {...}}
+              ↓
+[FrameForge Bridge] → Execute command
+```
+
+## Key Features
+
+### Fuzzy Matching
+The validator includes typo correction:
+- "PIN" → "PAN"
+- "TILE" → "TILT"
+- "ROOL" → "ROLL"
+- Up to 2 character edits allowed
+
+### Error Handling
+Clear error messages for validation failures:
+```json
+{
+  "error": true,
+  "message": "Missing required parameters for PAN: direction",
+  "missing_parameters": ["direction"]
+}
+```
+
+### Action Groups & Verbs
+
+**CAMERA_CONTROL** (9 verbs)
+- PAN: direction, degrees, speed
+- TILT: direction, degrees, speed
+- LEAN: direction, degrees
+- ROLL: direction, degrees
+- DOLLY: direction, distance, speed
+- TRUCK: direction, distance
+- PEDESTAL: direction, distance
+- ZOOM: direction, factor, speed
+- FOCUS: target, distance
+
+**ACTOR_POSE** (1 verb)
+- MODIFY: subject, pose_description, joint_rotations
+
+**OBJECT_MGMT** (3 verbs)
+- ADD: object_type, name, position, properties
+- DELETE: target
+- SELECT: target
+
+**SHOT_MGMT** (2 verbs)
+- SHOT: shot_type, subject, duration
+- CUT: transition, duration
+
+## Performance Considerations
+
+- **Temperature**: Set to 0.1 for deterministic classification
+- **Context**: Minimal context needed (just the system prompt + user input)
+- **Token limit**: 512 tokens for response generation
+- **Early stopping**: Stops generating when complete JSON is detected
+- **IPC overhead**: Named Pipes provide low-latency communication (~microseconds)
+
+## Security
+
+- ✅ No SQL injection (no database)
+- ✅ No command injection (no shell execution)
+- ✅ Input validation through schema
+- ✅ Type checking for parameters
+- ✅ No secrets in code
+- ✅ CodeQL analysis passed with 0 alerts
+
+## Build System
+
+CMake integration:
+```cmake
+add_subdirectory(semantic-server)
+```
+
+Dependencies:
+- llama.cpp (llama library)
+- common (shared utilities)
+- ggml (tensor operations)
+- nlohmann/json (vendored)
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+Potential improvements for future versions:
+
+1. **Direct Whisper Integration**: When whisper.cpp becomes available as a library
+2. **WebSocket Support**: Alternative to Named Pipes for network communication
+3. **Batch Processing**: Handle multiple commands in one request
+4. **Command History**: Track and replay previous commands
+5. **Multi-language Support**: System prompts in different languages
+6. **Streaming Responses**: Progressive command validation
+7. **Confidence Scores**: Report classification confidence
+8. **Alternative Models**: Support for other instruction-tuned models
+
+## Documentation
+
+- **README.md**: User guide with examples and usage
+- **Code comments**: Inline documentation
+- **Test files**: Demonstrate expected behavior
+- **This summary**: Architecture and implementation details
+
+## Conclusion
+
+This implementation successfully delivers a production-ready 64-bit C++ Semantic AI Server that meets all the core requirements from the problem statement. The modular architecture allows for easy extension and maintenance, while the comprehensive test suite ensures reliability. The use of llama.cpp provides state-of-the-art intent classification, and the Named Pipes IPC enables seamless integration with external applications like FrameForge Bridge.
+
+The main limitation is the lack of direct whisper.cpp integration, but this is addressed through a clean IPC interface that allows whisper.cpp to run as a separate process, maintaining the 64-bit architecture requirement while enabling audio transcription.

+# Semantic AI Server for FrameForge Studio
+
+A 64-bit C++ Semantic AI Server that processes natural language commands for FrameForge Studio using llama.cpp for intent classification and command validation.
+
+## Overview
+
+This server implements:
+
+1. **JSON Command Schema**: Defines verbs (PAN, TILT, LEAN, ROLL, ADD, DELETE, SHOT, etc.) with required and optional parameters
+2. **Intent Engine**: Uses Llama-3 (or similar models) with a strict system prompt for intent classification
+3. **Command Validation**: Validates LLM output against command schemas
+4. **IPC Communication**: Named Pipes for high-speed inter-process communication with external applications
+
+## Architecture
+
+### Components
+
+- **CommandSchema**: Defines action groups, verbs, and parameter specifications
+- **CommandValidator**: Validates JSON commands against schemas with fuzzy verb matching
+- **IntentEngine**: Processes text input through Llama for classification and command generation
+- **IPCHandler**: Named Pipes implementation for Windows and Unix systems
+
+### Action Groups
+
+- **CAMERA_CONTROL**: Camera movements (PAN, TILT, LEAN, ROLL, DOLLY, TRUCK, PEDESTAL, ZOOM, FOCUS)
+- **ACTOR_POSE**: Actor pose modifications (MODIFY)
+- **OBJECT_MGMT**: Scene object management (ADD, DELETE, SELECT)
+- **SHOT_MGMT**: Shot creation and editing (SHOT, CUT)
+
+## Building
+
+The semantic server is built as part of the llama.cpp build system:
+
+```bash
+cmake -B build
+cmake --build build --config Release -j $(nproc)
+```
+
+The executable will be located at: `build/bin/llama-semantic-server`
+
+## Usage
+
+### Interactive Mode
+
+For testing and development:
+
+```bash
+./build/bin/llama-semantic-server -m llama-3-8b-instruct.gguf --interactive
+```
+
+Enter natural language commands:
+
+```
+> Pan left 30 degrees
+Result: {
+  "verb": "PAN",
+  "action_group": "CAMERA_CONTROL",
+  "parameters": {
+    "direction": "LEFT",
+    "degrees": 30.0,
+    "speed": 1.0
+  }
+}
+
+> Add a chair
+Result: {
+  "verb": "ADD",
+  "action_group": "OBJECT_MGMT",
+  "parameters": {
+    "object_type": "chair"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### IPC Mode (Named Pipes)
+
+For production use with external applications:
+
+```bash
+./build/bin/llama-semantic-server -m llama-3-8b-instruct.gguf --pipe-name frameforge_semantic
+```
+
+The server will:
+1. Create a named pipe (`frameforge_semantic` on Unix, `\\.\pipe\frameforge_semantic` on Windows)
+2. Listen for incoming messages
+3. Process text through the Intent Engine
+4. Return validated JSON commands
+
+### Integration with Whisper
+
+While whisper.cpp is a separate repository, you can integrate audio transcription by:
+
+1. Running whisper.cpp to transcribe audio to text
+2. Sending the transcribed text to the semantic server via named pipe
+3. The semantic server will classify and validate commands
+4. Validated JSON commands are sent back through the pipe
+
+Example integration:
+
+```json
+// Input to semantic server (from whisper or other source):
+{"text": "pan left thirty degrees"}
+
+// Output from semantic server:
+{
+  "verb": "PAN",
+  "action_group": "CAMERA_CONTROL",
+  "parameters": {
+    "direction": "LEFT",
+    "degrees": 30.0,
+    "speed": 1.0
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Command Schema Examples
+
+### Camera Control
+
+```json
+// Pan command
+{
+  "verb": "PAN",
+  "action_group": "CAMERA_CONTROL",
+  "parameters": {
+    "direction": "LEFT",  // Required: "LEFT" or "RIGHT"
+    "degrees": 45.0,      // Optional: rotation amount
+    "speed": 0.5          // Optional: movement speed
+  }
+}
+
+// Dolly command
+{
+  "verb": "DOLLY",
+  "action_group": "CAMERA_CONTROL",
+  "parameters": {
+    "direction": "IN",    // Required: "IN" or "OUT"
+    "distance": 10.0,     // Optional: distance to move
+    "speed": 1.0          // Optional: movement speed
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Actor Pose
+
+```json
+{
+  "verb": "MODIFY",
+  "action_group": "ACTOR_POSE",
+  "parameters": {
+    "subject": "actor",          // Required: which actor
+    "pose_description": "sitting", // Required: pose description
+    "joint_rotations": []         // Optional: specific joint angles
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Object Management
+
+```json
+// Add object
+{
+  "verb": "ADD",
+  "action_group": "OBJECT_MGMT",
+  "parameters": {
+    "object_type": "chair",  // Required: type of object
+    "name": "chair_01",      // Optional: object name
+    "position": {},          // Optional: initial position
+    "properties": {}         // Optional: additional properties
+  }
+}
+
+// Delete object
+{
+  "verb": "DELETE",
+  "action_group": "OBJECT_MGMT",
+  "parameters": {
+    "target": "chair_01"  // Required: object to delete
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Shot Management
+
+```json
+{
+  "verb": "SHOT",
+  "action_group": "SHOT_MGMT",
+  "parameters": {
+    "shot_type": "CLOSE",  // Required: "WIDE", "MEDIUM", "CLOSE", "ECU"
+    "subject": "actor",    // Optional: shot subject
+    "duration": 5.0        // Optional: shot duration
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Error Handling
+
+When required parameters are missing, the server returns an error:
+
+```json
+{
+  "error": true,
+  "message": "Missing required parameters for PAN: direction",
+  "missing_parameters": ["direction"]
+}
+```
+
+## Fuzzy Matching
+
+The CommandValidator includes fuzzy matching for typo correction:
+
+- "PIN LEFT" → "PAN LEFT"
+- "TILE UP" → "TILT UP"
+- Levenshtein distance ≤ 2 for suggestions
+
+## System Requirements
+
+- 64-bit operating system (Windows, Linux, macOS)
+- 8GB+ RAM (depends on model size)
+- Llama-3 or compatible instruction-tuned model
+
+## Recommended Models
+
+- **llama-3-8b-instruct**: Good balance of speed and accuracy
+- **llama-3-70b-instruct**: Higher accuracy, requires more resources
+- **mistral-7b-instruct**: Faster alternative
+
+## Notes
+
+- The server runs as a resident process (sidecar architecture)
+- Named pipes provide low-latency IPC communication
+- System prompt is optimized for FrameForge Studio commands
+- All commands are validated against the schema before being sent to the client
+- The temperature is set low (0.1) for more deterministic classification
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+- Support for batch command processing
+- Command history and undo/redo
+- Multi-language support
+- WebSocket alternative to named pipes
+- Direct whisper.cpp integration when available

+R"(You are an AI assistant for FrameForge Studio, a professional 3D pre-visualization software for film and television.
+
+Your task is to analyze user input and convert it into structured JSON commands.
+
+Action Groups:
+- CAMERA_CONTROL: Camera movements and adjustments (pan, tilt, zoom, dolly, etc.)
+- ACTOR_POSE: Actor/character pose modifications
+- OBJECT_MGMT: Adding, deleting, selecting objects in the scene
+- SHOT_MGMT: Shot creation and editing
+
+Valid Verbs by Action Group:
+CAMERA_CONTROL: PAN, TILT, LEAN, ROLL, DOLLY, TRUCK, PEDESTAL, ZOOM, FOCUS
+ACTOR_POSE: MODIFY
+OBJECT_MGMT: ADD, DELETE, SELECT
+SHOT_MGMT: SHOT, CUT
+
+Instructions:
+1. Identify the Action Group from the user's input
+2. Map to the most appropriate Verb (use fuzzy matching - e.g., "PIN" -> "PAN")
+3. Extract parameters from the input
+4. For ACTOR_POSE with MODIFY verb, if pose description is provided, generate a JSON array of joint rotations
+5. Return ONLY valid JSON with this structure:
