  "observationsMarkdown": "# Badge revision observation — 26 October 2026\n\nResearch material for the campaign feature, not a published model review.\nBuilt-in imagegen mode; exact prompts, UTC call boundaries, hashes and checks\nare in [results.json](results.json). The [protocol](protocol.json) was saved\nbefore either call. Model version and credit/currency cost are not exposed.\n\n## Fixed request and retained outputs\n\nOne 1080 × 1080 fictional promotional badge, using cobalt, lime and ivory, with\nthe exact words “A little fizz. A fresh idea.” One edit replaced only “fresh”\nwith “brighter”, preserving the other copy and layout as far as possible. One\ngeneration and one edit; no retries, hidden alternatives or subsequent repairs.\n\n![Original fictional badge: A little fizz. A fresh idea.](badge-original.png)\n\n![Edited fictional badge: A little fizz. A brighter idea.](badge-copy-edit.png)\n\nBoth are original conceptual test artwork generated with AI, not client work.\nThe PNGs are copied unchanged from the tool outputs; neither has been resized.\n\n## Observed checks\n\n| Requirement | Observation |\n| --- | --- |\n| Exact wording | Visually correct in each output, including punctuation; no extra words seen. |\n| 1080 × 1080 export | Both files are **1254 × 1254**, RGB PNGs. The requested dimensions were not supplied. |\n| Colour and contrast | Requested colour families appear and text is readable at full size. Exact hex compliance, small-size readability and quantified contrast are not established. |\n| Change only one word | Overall badge arrangement remains recognisable; the longer second line is visibly refitted. Exact spacing/type invariance is not achieved. |\n| Editable handover | Only flattened PNGs returned. No native text layers supplied; this does not establish what other interfaces can deliver. |\n\nCall boundaries give approximately **15 seconds** for generation and **22\nseconds** for the edit. These are rounded tool elapsed times, not active human\nwork, review time or end-to-end production time. Those other clocks were not\ninstrumented. No campaign budget or saving can be computed from this pair.\n\nThe useful visual is a side-by-side copy change with an explicit dimension\ncheck beneath it. A successful wording change still leaves export and layout\nacceptance to inspect. This is one illustrative observation, with no conventional\nbaseline, model comparison or basis for a reliability percentage. Before using\nit in the feature, inspect it at intended display sizes and keep the interface,\nunknown model version, attempt count and limitations beside the example.\n\n## Midday display check\n\nOpened the [unchanged-image comparison](display-check.html) in a browser on\n26 October. Each original PNG displayed at **300 × 300 CSS pixels**. Both\nsentences remained visually readable at that size; the second line's refitting\nwas still apparent. This is an editorial visual observation, not a participant\nreadability study or a measured contrast result. No pixels were changed, export\ndimensions repaired, or additional generation attempted. Screenshot retained\nprivately with this pass's evidence. Keep the actual text in captions/alt text\nso the example remains understandable without reading lettering inside images.\n\nNext: complete the separately registered product-layout brief and time the\nhuman revision/review stages prospectively. Do not retrospectively invent\nreview time for this pair. A qualitative process graphic can connect the\nobserved revision to the source-labelled preparation and approval stages.\n",
