  • Issues: The required word CURAÇAO rendered as CURACAO after two quality attempts, despite a targeted cedilla correction prompt. All other captions and the timestamp are correct and readable; the selected render has six square panels, a coherent detailed editorial style, and no recognizable real-person likenesses. The third render was rejected because it introduced additional unrequested text and numbers while retaining the cedilla defect.
