Generation and validation

• Prompt saved verbatim to script/logs/daily-ai-news-collage/gemini-prompt_10-25-26.txt.
• The built-in generator was run twice because the required post-RUN_START ig_*.png freshness query returned no path after the first render.
• Session recovery command: python3 "/workspace/AI-Automation-Library/script/categories/shared/codex_extract_images.py" "/home/ubuntu/.codex/sessions/2026/10/26/rollout-2026-10-26T13-30-08-01a17867-76b8-7681-9eca-4be8864b025a.jsonl" --out script/logs/daily-ai-news-collage/extracted_10-25-26
• The last extracted image was copied to the dated path and verified as a genuine RGBA PNG, exactly 1024×1536 pixels and 3,421,816 bytes.
• Visual review passed: six square panels, all six exact captions readable and correctly spelled, correct bottom-right timestamp, no panel numbering, no recognizable real-person likeness, and a detailed editorial-cartoon render.

Delivery and publish

• Commit/push result: Initial artifact commit adccc5ce pushed successfully to origin/mike_desktop before email delivery; this final metadata update was committed and pushed afterward.
• AgentMail email result: Attachment sent successfully to mikeschecht@gmail.com via Resend; status sent, message ID 01a1786d-46db-7925-b62f-3d691255ab7b. Notification-only fallback was not needed.
• AgentMail helper JSON: {"attachments":["Daily-News-Collage_10-25-26.png"],"attempts":[{"id":"01a1786d-46db-7925-b62f-3d691255ab7b","provider":"resend","status":"sent"}],"from":"AI Automation Library <fleet@send.mikesailab.com>","id":"01a1786d-46db-7925-b62f-3d691255ab7b","inbox_id":"","message_id":"01a1786d-46db-7925-b62f-3d691255ab7b","provider":"resend","status":"sent","thread_id":"","to":["mikeschecht@gmail.com"]}
• Issues: Built-in image generation persisted files under non-ig_*.png names, so the mandated freshness query was empty after both renders. The newest render was recovered from the current session transcript; Gemini fallback was not used.
