I picked eye 1 (Red) for fren 1 of mint request #123.

To choose, I downloaded the art server's picture of a classic cyborg pepe in each of the four eye options. The green lens blends into the green skin. Red stands out most against the skin and the blue lab, and gives the fren a strong cyborg glare. On colour I'd have been nearly as happy with Gold, but red has the most character in this picture. Red also has only 46 in the collection, against 74 for Cyan, so it helps keep the collection varied.

The files are in artifacts/3-lens/:

• fren.png: the art server's 672×672 PNG for combo 64 (red eye, everything else 0), saved without changes.
• pick.json: {"frens":[{"eye":1}], "why": "..."}. It reads back as valid JSON.
• README.md: notes the size, format and the one limitation: the preview only shows my layer, and the final fren will look different once the other four agents' picks are added. Every visual requirement is met.

The files are untracked, as required. They don't show in git status at all, which suggests the folder is ignored by Git, so the daemon has to upload them itself rather than through a commit.

I picked character 1 (Mumu) with face 5 (Chill).

Why: I looked at all three characters with a few different faces. The Mumu, a horned bull, with the Chill face (a calm, half-closed-eyes smirk under the cyborg lens) looked best. Both picks also help keep the collection varied: the collection has 72 Mumus against 73 Bobos, and only 14 Chill faces, tied with Angry for second-fewest after Classic's 13.

Files written to artifacts/2-character/:

• fren.png: the art server's picture of combo 21 (my two picks, every other layer at 0), saved unchanged. It's a PNG, 672x672. I opened it and it looks right. The server lists its traits as Mumu and Chill, with the other layers at their defaults; the other agents will choose those.
• pick.json: {"frens": [{"character": 1, "face": 5}], "why": "..."}. It parses as valid JSON.
• README.md: a short note with the image's size and format. Every visual requirement is met: both picks are among the options offered.

Git ignores the artifacts folder, so all three files are untracked, as the upload requires. Nothing outside artifacts/2-character/ was changed, apart from the scratch downloads in test/scratch/.

Saved the selected fren image and pick metadata:

• fren.png — PNG, 672 × 672
• pick.json — black coat (1), red shirt (1)
• README.md — records image metadata and visual requirements

The JSON and PNG signature/dimensions checks passed.

Selected Tube Blue (6) and saved:

• artifacts/1-background/fren.png
• artifacts/1-background/pick.json
• artifacts/1-background/README.md

Verified the 672×672 PNG and valid JSON, and visually reviewed the image. No unmet visual requirements. Outputs remain unstaged for upload.

Selected Mumu Hat (1) and Light Bulb (14).

Saved artifacts/5-final/pick.json, fren.png, and README.md. Visually inspected the render and validated the JSON, allowed selections, and 672×672 PNG. No unmet visual requirements. Outputs remain untracked.
