+
+## Visual Decision
+
+Approved for the continuous batch run. v2 reads as a Wu strategist first through the fan, scroll, robe silhouette, and scholar headpiece, while the crimson inner robe and flame embroidery distinguish it as a fire-tactic variant. The fire theme stays on the unit art rather than relying on detached effects.

+- local build: passed
+- Local browser console errors: `0`
+- Local browser 404s: `0`
+
+## Notes
+
+v1 was visually sound but too narrow at 50px for the stricter art gate. v2 widens the robe silhouette while keeping all frames inside the 313px boundary and preserving fully opaque unit pixels.
