Generation and validation

• Engine: built-in gpt-image (recovered from session transcript).
• Exact prompt: script/logs/weekly-news-montage/gemini-prompt_2026-10-05_to_2026-10-11.txt (local run log, not committed).
• Two built-in calls with that same prompt. The required post-RUN_START (1791802805) search for ig_*.png returned no files after either call; the tool persisted this run's images as exec-*.png instead. No old cache files were reused.
• Recovery: python3 script/categories/shared/codex_extract_images.py /home/ubuntu/.codex/sessions/2026/10/12/rollout-2026-10-12T11-00-07-01a12fc5-0d7b-7fc2-b1ff-82342af99b4e.jsonl --out script/logs/weekly-news-montage/extracted_2026-10-05 yielded two images; the last was selected.
• Genuine model-rendered PNG verified and saved at exactly 1536×1024. Pillow used only for verification/normalization. Gemini was not used.
• Visual review: continuous newsroom scene, no story panels or numbered boxes, exact title/date, all eight contextual labels readable, fictional journalists without recognizable real-person likenesses.
• Issues: AP direct page opens returned Internal Error; dated Codex web search excerpts supported those brief story summaries. Small decorative receipt figures are illustrative, not reported price data. The Senate map is schematic and imperfect geographically. The Kuwait story is a newly published investigation into an earlier attack, not an attack occurring this week.
