Generation Details

• Prompt file: script/logs/daily-ai-news-collage/gemini-prompt_6-24-26.txt
• Prompt summary: strict 1024 x 1536 portrait editorial cartoon collage with six equal square panels in a 3 x 2 grid, clean panel borders, story-specific embedded text, no panel numbering, no bottom caption bars, no real-person likenesses, and timestamp 06/24/2026 11:59 PM.
• Built-in image generation attempt: produced a non-empty PNG, but the saved raster was landscape (1568 x 1003) and did not satisfy the required portrait archive spec.
• Built-in image generation retry: returned an inline image but did not write a newer generated-image file to disk.
• Gemini fallback command:

python3 "/workspace/AI-Automation-Library/script/categories/shared/gemini_image.py" --out "My-Library/Images/News-Images/Daily-News-Collage/Images/June_2026/Daily-News-Collage_6-24-26.png" --prompt-file "script/logs/daily-ai-news-collage/gemini-prompt_6-24-26.txt" --aspect 2:3

• Gemini fallback result: GEMINI_IMAGE_OK /workspace/AI-Automation-Library/My-Library/Images/News-Images/Daily-News-Collage/Images/June_2026/Daily-News-Collage_6-24-26.png
• Final engine: gemini-3.1-flash-image fallback
• Fallback output normalization: resized the rendered PNG from 848 x 1264 to 1024 x 1536 with Pillow Image.LANCZOS; no image content was drawn or programmatically composed.

AgentMail Email Result

Command:

python3 "/workspace/AI-Automation-Library/script/categories/shared/agentmail/send_agentmail_artifact.py" --file "My-Library/Images/News-Images/Daily-News-Collage/Images/June_2026/Daily-News-Collage_6-24-26.png" --to "mikeschecht@gmail.com" --subject "Daily News Collage 2026-06-24" --text "Attached is the daily news collage for 2026-06-24." --label daily-news-collage

Commit And Push Result

• Initial commit: e363234 with message Add daily news collage for 2026-06-24.
• Initial push: succeeded to origin mike_desktop.
• Initial push output: f2f5d8d..e363234 mike_desktop -> mike_desktop.
• Final publish note: this metadata update was amended into the same dated collage commit and pushed back to origin mike_desktop with --force-with-lease so the branch contains a single dated artifact commit.

Issues

• The first built-in generated raster was non-empty but landscape, and the retry did not write a new file to disk, so the run used the required Gemini fallback.
• The repository prompt still contains older PR and news_collage requirements, but the scheduled prompt explicitly overrides them. This run stayed on mike_desktop, did not create or update a PR, and used the AgentMail helper specified in the scheduled prompt.
