I accepted slot IU_0071, named it "Lilac Beanie", and wrote the verdict to artifacts/review.json.

Checks: I downloaded the image to /tmp/candidate.png, and its sha256 matches 96523fae…b16d. Python, jq and file aren't installed here, so I didn't decode the pixels with code. Everything below comes from looking at the image itself. I checked the JSON with node: it parses, the reason is 285 characters and the name is 12. The file sits in the git-ignored artifacts/ folder (ignored via .git/info/exclude), so it stays untracked as required. There are no other changes in the repo.

What I saw:

• Alien: pointed ears and a narrow chin on a lilac face. The skin looks like lilac #b39cff.
• Dots eyes: two small solid black eyes. They're slightly upright blocks rather than perfectly round dots.
• Beanie: a cobalt knit top with darker stitch marks and a navy cuff.
• UI tee: a bone-coloured tee with a small black "UI" logo, which is the one text exception the rules allow.
• Style: hard square pixels that look like a 32×32 grid, thick black outlines, no blur or gradients, and a near-black green background. One front-facing bust, centred, with the shoulders reaching the bottom edge. I saw no other text, watermark or border.

Scores: brief 8, silhouette 8, style 8, originality 6.

Uncertainty:

• I couldn't confirm the exact hex values or count the colours, because I couldn't decode the PNG. Palette compliance is a visual judgement, not a measurement.
• The upright eye shape and the plain, fairly template-like design are why the brief and originality scores aren't higher. Neither is a reason to reject.

The task said to write only the JSON, so I didn't add a README.
