hint robustness — the iterations that drifted

the ruled hint against several iterations of it, across six foes. the column notes record what each variant did wrong: one dragged the scene onto a snowfield, another regressed into a seascape with no figure at all. this is what prompt work actually looks like.

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.
