## Commands After Approval

After user approval, promote the approved unit in `unit-sprite-rework-manifest.json`, regenerate outputs, and only then use the release gate.

python scripts\render-unit-sprite-review-boards.py
python scripts\check-unit-sprite-approval-gate.py --mode release
pnpm build
```

## First Task After Current Approval

- Start with `unit-nanman-officer-warlord`.
- Generate source art, assemble sheets, produce contact/GIF/before-after/scale/battle screenshots, then rerun the gates.
