    "[CORE] Strict three-ink risograph on cream paper #F4EBDD: warm orange #FF6C2F and olive green #5E6B3A as broad masses, near-black #1E1E1E only for hair, tiny eyes, the label and shoes. Brown appears only where orange overprints olive.",
    "[CORE] The print must look physically printed: 1–3 px misregistration between ink layers, fine grain with patchy uneven coverage, coarse halftone or stipple dots for every shade, translucent overprint. No smooth digital gradient, airbrush, 3D or glow.",
    "[CORE] One ordinary person with the series character build: rounded blocky body, soft thick limbs, small head, big soft hands, skin as pale orange halftone, minimal face with closed curved eyes or tiny dots, small nose and a gentle smile.",
    "[CORE] Exactly one everyday object is absurdly oversized; the person and all other props stay at normal series proportions. The action is a plain daily routine and the mood is relaxed, warm and funny.",
    "[CORE] Exactly one tiny bold black sans-serif label of 2–3 uppercase words in a free top corner, about 1.7 percent of canvas height, in one or two lines; no headline and no other wording.",
    "[FLEX] Pose and direction vary per case (sit, stand on tiptoe, kneel, squat, walk, ride) so a set of four never repeats one posture.",
    "[FLEX] The oversized object may bleed off one or two edges; its placement, crop and which corner holds the label are recomposed for each ratio.",
    "[FLEX] Which garments and props take orange versus olive can change per case, as long as the three-ink limit and overprint brown are respected.",
    "[FLEX] Supporting props (chair, stool, clothesline, bowl, basket, watering can) and a soft stipple ground shadow are allowed when they explain the action; settings otherwise stay open cream paper."

    "reference_observation": "The source set is eight 9:16 risograph posters on warm cream paper. Each shows one rounded, small-headed person in orange and olive clothing doing a daily task — slurping noodles, hanging laundry, brushing a cat, watering a flower, carrying a box, hugging a coffee cup, licking ice cream, cycling — while one object is blown up far beyond real scale. Shading is coarse halftone and grain, inks overprint to brown, and a tiny two-line black label sits in a top corner.",
    "style_content_separation": "Reusable: the three-ink riso system, print texture, chunky character build, single-object exaggeration formula, open cream space and the tiny corner label. Case-specific: the particular action, the oversized object, the label wording and each scene's placement.",

    "cropping": "The oversized object may be cropped by one or two canvas edges for tension; the person's face, hands and action are never cropped.",

  "prompt_template": "Use case: stylized-concept. Create ONE finished {ASPECT_RATIO} risograph illustration poster, warm cute everyday life. If the ratio is 9:16, compose a vertical scene; if it is 16:9, compose a genuinely horizontal landscape scene, never a crop, letterbox or padded portrait.\n\nPRIORITIZED STYLE:\n{STYLE_FIDELITY_ANCHORS}\n\nPRINT: strict THREE INKS on cream paper #F4EBDD: warm orange #FF6C2F, olive green #5E6B3A, near-black #1E1E1E. No fifth ink: brown is ONLY translucent orange-over-olive overprint. Skin is pale orange halftone over cream, not pink/peach paint. Black ink confined to compact hair, tiny eyes, tiny label and shoes; mouths/noses/object contours use olive or brown overprint. Orange and olive form broad masses. No blue, cobalt, pink, purple, yellow, white ink or gray wash.\nRisograph printing MUST be visually evident: slight 1–3 pixel registration offset at 1500px short edge leaves thin paper/overprint edges, fine ink grain with mild patchy coverage, visibly coarse halftone dot shading rather than smooth tonal gradients, semi-transparent overprint at orange/olive overlaps yielding brown. Matte real ink on warm cream fibrous paper. Preserve rounded series silhouettes but replace all prior smooth airbrush with dot/stipple shading. No 3D, glossy light, digital smooth gradient, glow or photorealism.\n\nCHARACTER: one ordinary person. {SUBJECT} Retain rounded blocky body, soft thick limbs, small head and softly broad hands; minimal face. Wardrobe: {WARDROBE_STYLE}\nACTION: {SUBJECT_ACTION}\nTHE ONE OVERSIZED OBJECT: {PRODUCT_OR_PROP} Keep exaggeration ONLY on this single object, with the ordinary human and every other item at the series proportions.\nSETTING: {LOCATION} Background: {BACKGROUND_ELEMENTS}\nDESIGN INTENTION: {DESIGN_INTENTION}\nRATIO PLAN: {RATIO_COMPOSITION} Apply only the plan for {ASPECT_RATIO}.\n\nCOMPOSITION: single scene, combined subject occupies 60–80 percent of image, substantial calm cream negative space. May crop the ONE giant object at edge; keep action, face and contact readable. Relaxed closed curved eyes or simple tiny black eyes, small nose and gentle smile. No surreal transformation, autonomous objects, abstract conceptual props, tension or cool fashion pose. One person only. No additional giant item, giant head, gigantic hand or extra limbs.\nTEXT: exactly \"{MAIN_TEXT}\" once, no added punctuation, in one or two lines of TINY bold black sans serif in free upper corner, about 1.7 percent of canvas height, block no more than 25 percent canvas width; keep quiet, clear and separate from subject. No other wording, marks or brand. Secondary text: {SECONDARY_TEXT}. Accent symbol: {ACCENT_SYMBOL}. When either value is \"none\", render nothing for it.\n\nSOURCE CONTENT TO REPLACE:\n{SOURCE_CONTENT_TO_AVOID}\n\nGenerate at highest available resolution, ideally 4K; preserve print dots, misregistration, grain and intentionally uneven ink.
