Generation Details

• Engine: built-in gpt-image (recovered from session transcript)
• Built-in image generation attempts: two inline renders.
• Freshness guard: find ~/.codex/generated_images -type f -name 'ig_*.png' -newermt @1783776605 -printf '%T@ %p\n' | sort -n | tail -1 returned no path after both attempts, so no stale shared-cache file was used.
• Recovery command: python3 "/workspace/AI-Automation-Library/script/categories/shared/codex_extract_images.py" "/home/ubuntu/.codex/sessions/2026/07/11/rollout-2026-07-11T13-30-07-019f515e-fc44-7d73-bec3-c89ca7003a25.jsonl" --out script/logs/daily-ai-news-collage/extracted_7-10-26

Issues

• The built-in image tool rendered inline but did not persist a post-RUN_START PNG under ~/.codex/generated_images; transcript recovery was used as required.
• The repository visual spec still contains older PR and news_collage branch instructions, but the scheduled prompt explicitly overrode them. This run stayed on mike_desktop, committed and pushed directly, and did not create or update a pull request.
