` (what Graview Cloud's `add_image` answers). It is drawn only where the host says where those live — the `asset` resolver on the view's definition — and refused elsewhere.
- **A picture on a record.** Say `pictures: true` in the manifest, or `{ width: 400 }`, the widest the view draws one in CSS pixels. Each file on a record the view is handed is then `{ name, type, bytes, width, height, caption, src, left }` in its field, never the host's path to it. `src` is the address the host made from the bytes, fetched as the reader and made smaller to `width`; it is absent on the first push, and a push follows when it is ready. `left` says why a picture will never come: past one picture's byte budget or the view's, or not loaded. A document, and an SVG, has no `src`: show its name, type and size.
```js
const photos = (job.photos || []).map((photo) => photo.src
? graview.html`
`
: graview.html`${photo.left || photo.name}
`);
```
Without `pictures`, a record's file comes as the record keeps it, a path on the host that the view cannot load: drawing its `href` is refused.
### Then find out whether it worked
1. `graview check` the app, and `checkManifest(manifest, store)` from `@graview/guest/host/views`: it says what is wrong with `pictures`.
2. `graview view check view.js --app --manifest manifest.json --seed --roles ` says what it drew. Headless, a picture comes without `src`, so draw its name until it does.
3. Open the place and read the view's `refused` (`WorkerView.refused`, or `graview.refused` in its console): every element, attribute and address the host left out, and why.
4. Toggle the app to dark, and change the brand where you can. Does the view follow, logo and all?
5. As a member who may see fewer records, are the pictures on the records they may not see absent — not merely hidden?
### What the check cannot see
`graview check` judges the declaration, and `refused` judges the markup; neither sees whether the drawing reads. A picture drawn at full width on a phone, an image with no `alt`, a token used for a meaning it does not carry, a chart whose colors fail in dark: only looking at it on both faces, at 390 and on a desk, in both schemes, sees that.
---
Draw in a Graview worker view — the HTML, SVG and CSS the host keeps of it, the app's tokens and brand, and the images a view may show (the app's logo, the app's own images, the pictures on records) — and find out what the host refused rather than assuming it drew.
