one foe, three candidate hints

the drowned-hand at two points in a fight, under the live hint and three candidates. a narrow test, kept because it is the clearest example of a hint that reads well in isolation and falls apart late in a fight.

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.

each cell is its own prompt — shown above the image and in full in this page's receipts.json.

⚠ names Dishonored — this prompt names a third-party title as a style reference. it is published exactly as it was sent to the model; de-naming these style clauses is in progress product-side. archive slugs and filenames keep the words we typed for the same reason — they are part of the receipt, records of our inputs, not claims of association.
