rewriting the band cues — and the seed policy underneath
a follow-up to the bands: the original ladder against a rewritten cue, at a frozen seed and then at the production per-band seeds. the honest finding is in the middle column — at a frozen seed the rewrite is marginal, and the thing that actually changes what a player sees is the seed policy.
every render on this page was painted on test rig B (24G) — provably, two ways: the harness that made them renders only through that rig's own local ComfyUI, and every timestamp predates the workstation's first archived render.

every cell opens its own specimen sheet: the render full size, its prompt verbatim, and every setting behind it.
- ladder v1, FIXED seed —… — ladder v1, FIXED seed — the original page's method (the complaint)
- ladder v2, FIXED seed —… — ladder v2, FIXED seed — the cue rewrite alone (honest: marginal at a frozen seed)
- ladder v2, PRODUCTION-s… — ladder v2, PRODUCTION-style per-band seeds — what a player actually sees across a fight
- ladder v2 on a non-huma… — ladder v2 on a non-humanoid, per-band seeds (candidate-A hint, PROVISIONAL pending the hint ruling)
