Generation details

• The exact prompt was saved to script/logs/daily-ai-news-collage/gemini-prompt_10-22-26.txt for reproducible fallback use.
• Both built-in generations rendered inline, but the required post-RUN_START ig_*.png freshness search returned no file.
• Recovery command: python3 "/workspace/AI-Automation-Library/script/categories/shared/codex_extract_images.py" "/home/ubuntu/.codex/sessions/2026/10/23/rollout-2026-10-23T13-30-08-01a168f4-60fd-7563-bc16-480431fcaf62.jsonl" --out script/logs/daily-ai-news-collage/extracted_10-22-26
• The last extracted render was copied to the dated path and verified as a 2,665,169-byte PNG at exactly 1024 × 1536.
• Visual review confirmed six square panels, readable exact story captions, the correct timestamp, no panel numbering, no recognizable real-person likenesses, and a detailed editorial render.
