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 @1783863005 -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/2026/07/12/rollout-2026-07-12T13-30-07-019f5685-581d-7f50-a5df-7984857ec2c9.jsonl" --out script/logs/daily-ai-news-collage/extracted_7-11-26

• Dimension verification: copied archive PNG verified as 1024 x 1536.
• No OpenAI Images API call was made and no API key was inspected.

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 local file utility is not installed on this server, so PNG validation used Pillow instead.
• 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.
