## Verdict

**Workflow transfer successful.** Second hero completed with same command sequence as Iris v005; `v005-art` crop preset worked without new tuning. **Not promoted.**

## Character / doctrine read

- Reads as composed **Officer of Secondary Continuity** — formal fieldwear, archival case, dockets, keys, sealed envelopes, field slate.
- Ambiguity **administrative** (duplicate credentials, paperwork volume) — not supernatural or horror-coded.
- Five clusters separated on art source; composed sheet has **no placeholder annotation boxes**.

## Workflow notes

- Fresh API generation from `eloise-march-template-art-only-v1.md`.
- Header overlay: `template-header-eloise-v001`.
- Minor: seated action pose crops cleanly; no `eloise-v001` preset required (reused `v005-art`).

## vs Iris v005

| | Iris v005 | Eloise v001 |
|--|-----------|-------------|
| Art prompt | template-art-only-v2 | template-art-only-v1 |
| Crop preset | v005-art (authored for Iris) | **Same preset — worked** |
| Cluster separation | Strong | **Strong** |
| Doctrine fit | Observation / optics | **Continuity / paperwork** |
