+
+## Visual Decision
+
+Shu strategist white v2 is accepted as a refined white-robed strategist variant. The pale robe and feather fan contrast with the field strategist's darker travel robe while remaining generic enough for a non-unique unit.
+
+## Technical Checks
+
+- Base partial alpha: `0`
+- Action partial alpha: `0`
+- Base frame border hits: `0`
+- Action frame border hits: `0`
+- Base empty frames: `0`
+- Action empty frames: `0`

+- Action bottom range: `303..303`
+- Local build: `passed`
+- Local browser console errors: `0`
+
+## Notes
+
+v2 widens the robe silhouette enough for the battle-scale width gate. The white robe remains readable against the map, and the fan/scroll poses stay contained without partial alpha or border hits.
