+# Mask Normalization Implementation (Issue #106)
+
+## Berry Mask Convention
+
+**Canonical Semantic**: Painted regions (opaque white, alpha=255) indicate areas TO BE EDITED by AI. Unpainted regions (transparent, alpha=0) indicate areas TO BE PROTECTED.
+
+This convention is documented in:
+- `backend/app/runners/mask_converter.py` module docstring
+- Test suite in `backend/tests/test_mask_converter.py`
+
+## Provider-Specific Conversions
+
+### ComfyUI
+- **Contract**: LoadImage MASK output = `1 - alpha`
+- **Issue**: Painted regions (alpha=255) become 0 (protect), transparent (alpha=0) becomes 1 (edit)
+- **Solution**: Invert alpha channel before upload
+- **Implementation**: `normalize_mask_for_comfyui()` creates temporary inverted mask
+
+### WebUI
+- **Contract**: Grayscale where white=edit, black=protect
+- **Match**: Semantically matches Berry convention
+- **Solution**: Convert RGBA alpha channel to grayscale L mode
+- **Implementation**: `normalize_mask_for_webui()` extracts alpha to grayscale
+
+### OpenAI
+- **Contract**: Alpha channel where transparent=edit, opaque=protect
+- **Issue**: Inverted from Berry convention
+- **Solution**: Invert alpha channel
+- **Implementation**: `normalize_mask_for_openai()` inverts alpha
+
+### Fal.ai
+- **Contract**: Alpha channel where opaque=edit, transparent=protect
+- **Match**: Exactly matches Berry convention
+- **Solution**: Validate format only, no conversion needed
+- **Implementation**: `normalize_mask_for_fal_ai()` validates image
+
+## Integration Points
+
+1. **ComfyUI**: `creative_runner._run_comfy()` converts mask before upload, cleans up temporary file
+2. **WebUI**: `webui_runner._run_inpaint()` converts mask before base64 encoding
+3. **Cloud**: `creative_runner._run_cloud()` converts based on provider_id
+4. **Validation**: All paths validate source/mask dimension alignment
+
+## Cache Invalidation
+
+Runner version bumped from `0.1.0` to `0.2.0` in `compute_creative_cache_hash()` to prevent reuse of results generated with incorrect mask semantics.
+
+## Test Coverage
+
+13 mask converter tests verify:
+- Berry convention documentation
+- Provider-specific conversions (ComfyUI, WebUI, OpenAI, Fal.ai)
+- Dimension validation and preservation
+- Edge cases: partial alpha, fully painted, fully transparent
+- File handle management
+
+All tests passing.
