Delivery and publish

• Commit/push result: Initial artifact commit 3882c9e6 pushed successfully to origin/mike_desktop; this metadata was then updated with the post-push email result and pushed in a follow-up commit.
• AgentMail result: Attachment send succeeded via Resend. Status sent; message ID 01a0e316-2d06-758b-8c05-23dc1e00aba7; attachment Daily-News-Collage_9-26-26.png; recipient mikeschecht@gmail.com. Notification-only fallback was not needed.
• Issues: The built-in cache used exec-*.png names rather than the required ig_*.png match, so transcript recovery was required. The final render contains a few incidental in-world labels beyond the requested captions (for example, courthouse architecture and map text), but all six required captions and the timestamp are correctly spelled and legible; the six-panel layout and non-likeness requirement are satisfied.
