+
+## Visual Decision
+
+Approved for the continuous batch run. v1 reads as Wu Yi, a Yizhou/Shu officer, through teal lamellar armor, a compact helmet, and a short dao silhouette. It avoids Guan Yu's green robe, long beard, and long polearm profile while still matching the approved hand-painted battle style.

+- local build: passed

+- Local browser 404s: `0`
+
+## Notes
+
+The source sheet keeps all movement inside the frame with a practical command-and-sword stance. It is intentionally more restrained than the major hero sprites so Wu Yi does not visually compete with Liu Bei, Guan Yu, or Zhang Fei.
