+
+## Visual Decision
+
+Approved for the continuous batch run. v2 reads as Fa Zheng through the dark teal Yizhou official robe, black scholar hat, war fan, and bamboo-slip command poses. The silhouette is practical and severe rather than elegant, keeping him distinct from Zhuge Liang while still clearly belonging to the strategist class.

+## Notes
+
+v1 was rejected because the idle body read too narrow at battle scale. v2 widens the robe and sleeve mass while keeping the strategist posture restrained, so the unit remains readable without becoming a front-line officer.
