+
+## Visual Decision
+
+- Approved for continuous production run.
+- Direction: youthful Shu/Northern-front spear commander with silver-blue armor, dark navy cloth, and clear long-spear silhouette.
+- The 100% PC browser debug preview reads as a distinct commander rather than a green-robed Guan Yu or cavalry-style Ma Chao/Zhao Yun variant.
+- The unit body is opaque and visible at battle scale without relying on base rings, badges, shadows, or external readability helpers.
+
+## Technical Checks
+
+- Local build: `pnpm build` passed.
+- Local browser URL: `http://127.0.0.1:4173/heros_web/?debug&debugSpritePreview=unit-jiang-wei&v=jiang-wei-v3`
+- Local browser console errors: `0`
+- Local browser 404s: `0`
+- Base partial alpha: `0`
+- Action partial alpha: `0`
+- Base frame border hits: `0`
+- Action frame border hits: `0`
+- Base battle size from audit: `23.2..42.5 x 45.4..46.5`
+
+## Notes
+
+- v1/v2 proved the art direction, but action width was too narrow for the quality gate.
+- v3 keeps the same hand-painted source and restores action silhouette width while preserving frame boundary safety.
