## Verdict

**Decision-pass success.** Fresh v2 art source separates clusters clearly; `v005-art` crop preset lands all five views with minimal clipping. **Candidate for preferred hero reference-sheet workflow** — not promoted.

## vs prior experiments

| Pass | Art source | Crop | Cluster separation | Compose quality |
|------|------------|------|-------------------|-----------------|
| v003 | v2 prompt v1 | v1 compose | Good | Approximate crops |
| v004 | Reused v003 art | v003-tuned | N/A (old art) | Improved tooling only |
| **v005** | **Fresh v2 prompt** | **v005-art** | **Strong** | **Best alignment to date** |

## Keep

- No placeholder annotation boxes on composed sheet.
- Deterministic header overlay readable in header band.
- Character reads Field Command / Iris doctrine (optics, slate, calm posture).
- Five-view coverage: front, side, back, action, equipment.

## Refine

- Minor bleed: front-view feet visible above action panel (crop fraction overlap).
- Still requires per-art crop preset when model shifts layout.
- Margin_notes band empty — full annotation overlay deferred.
