Task visual · Source input
Accept the recipe in the form the chef already has.
One capture entry supports camera, existing photos and files, PDFs, pasted text, and manual typing. Brigade retains the original source with the recipe so the chef can verify the extraction later.
Primary actionTake a photo. This remains the fastest mobile path.
Other sourcesChoose an existing photo, PDF, text file, pasted recipe, or typed recipe.
After captureShow what Brigade read and keep “View original” on the review page.
Baseline and D1 review target
Three choices cover six input types.
Current build evidence · camera or upload
Earlier baseline screenshot. D1 now adds a paste path, clearer file handling, source provenance, idempotency, and resilient failure/retry behavior; the merged UI still needs Product Gate B.

How do you have it?
Use whatever is fastest. You will review everything before saving.
The source stays private to the kitchen and remains attached to the Recipe Book entry.
Do not present six equal buttons. Group inputs by the action the chef understands: capture now, choose something existing, or enter text.

Recipe not read
Try this source again
The PDF is password-protected, so Brigade could not read it. No recipe was created.
paella-menu.pdfNeeds replacement
Failure stays inside capture with a named reason, retry path, and explicit statement that nothing was added.
Interaction contract
Source handling stays simple and recoverable.
Do not create a recipe on selectionChoosing a source starts extraction. The Recipe Book write happens only after the chef reviews and selects Add recipe to book.
Preserve the original privatelyKeep the uploaded image, file, PDF, or entered text attached to the draft and resulting recipe with tenant-scoped access.
Return to the same sourceView original remains available during review, correction, and after save. The chef does not need to upload it again to check a line.
Show file problems before extractionUnsupported, unreadable, or oversized files remain in the capture screen with a direct retry or replace action.
