Human Auth: Camera

Use this when an app on Agent Phone needs a camera photo but the emulator has no real camera.

When to Trigger

App opens a camera intent (e.g., profile photo, document scan, ID verification).
You see a camera preview screen that shows black or "no camera found".
Capability Probe detects camera activity from the foreground app.

How to Call

request_human_auth(
  capability: "camera",
  instruction: "Please take a photo of [describe what is needed].",
  uiTemplate: {
    allowPhotoAttachment: true,
    requireArtifactOnApprove: true,
    title: "Camera Photo Needed",
    summary: "Take a photo with your phone camera and attach it."
  }
)

After You Receive the Artifact

You will get an artifact_path pointing to a JPEG/PNG file on the local filesystem.

The photo is already pushed to Agent Phone. The result includes device_path=/sdcard/Download/openpocket-human-auth-<ts>.jpg — the file is ready in Downloads.

You must redo the app flow to select it. Follow these steps:

Exit the current screen state. The app may have a camera preview or picker open. Press Back (keyevent KEYCODE_BACK) one or more times until you are back at the screen where the photo upload/capture was initiated.
Re-open the photo picker/upload in the app. Navigate back to the attachment point (e.g., tap the "+" button, "Upload photo" option, or "Choose from gallery" alternative).
Select the file from Downloads. In the file picker, navigate to Downloads folder and select the openpocket-human-auth-* file.
Confirm and continue the app flow (tap Send, Upload, Submit, etc.).

Tips

If the app originally opened a camera intent, look for a "Choose from gallery" or "Upload from files" alternative after pressing Back.
Always verify the photo was accepted by checking the next screen state.
Some apps may need you to re-trigger the entire attachment flow from the beginning.
