Generation and delivery

• Prompt record: script/logs/daily-ai-news-collage/gemini-prompt_8-27-26.txt
• Built-in generation: Two renders completed after RUN_START epoch 1787923806. The required freshness query returned no ig_*.png because the tool persisted the renders under exec-*.png names.
• Recovery: python3 "/workspace/AI-Automation-Library/script/categories/shared/codex_extract_images.py" "/home/ubuntu/.codex/sessions/2026/08/28/rollout-2026-08-28T13-30-08-01a04890-424e-71a2-aeff-7ce1b27d89e8.jsonl" --out script/logs/daily-ai-news-collage/extracted_8-27-26 decoded the current session transcript. The last extracted render was copied to the dated path; it was already exactly 1024 × 1536.
• Visual check: Passed — six square panels, all required captions readable and correctly spelled, correct timestamp, no panel numbering, no recognizable real-person likeness, and a detailed unified editorial rendering.
• AgentMail email result: Attachment sent successfully through the configured Resend provider; notification-only fallback was not needed.
• Commit/push result: Initial artifact commit dd65929f (Add daily news collage for 2026-08-27) pushed successfully to origin/mike_desktop before email delivery. This delivery-result update was committed and pushed afterward.
• Issues: Built-in cache naming did not satisfy the mandated ig_*.png lookup; transcript recovery succeeded, so Gemini fallback was not used.
