Created the outputs, left untracked:

• pick.json: Cyan, Gold, Green, Red, Cyan, Green.
• fren.png: fren 1 with a cyan lens, verified 672×672 PNG.
• README.md: dimensions, format, and review notes.

All four colours were visually inspected. No unmet visual requirements.

Completed picks: 11, 0, 4, 8, 6, 5.

Saved pick.json, fren 1’s original 672×672 PNG, and a README under artifacts/1-background/. JSON and image checks passed; no unmet visual requirements. Outputs were left unstaged.

Created the six picks, using every shirt once and every coat twice.

• pick.json
• fren.png — verified 672×672 PNG
• README.md — dimensions, review, and validation notes

All checks passed; no unmet visual requirements. Required outputs remain untracked for upload.

Completed the six character and face picks: two of each character, with six distinct expressions. Fren 1 is Mumu with the Scientist face.

Local checks passed: the picks use offered values, and the PNG is 672 × 672 with bytes matching the inspected art preview. The output files remain untracked for upload.

I've chosen the hat and item for all 6 frens and written both required files.

Fren	Hat	Item
1	2 Bobo Hat	13 Red Lightsaber
2	0 None	9 0 Paddle
3	1 Mumu Hat	2 Ray Gun
4	2 Bobo Hat	11 Wrench
5	1 Mumu Hat	1 Flask
6	0 None	8 10 Paddle

• Items: all six are different, and they're the ones the collection has fewest of (2 or 3 each). I left out item 0 None, which has only 1 left.
• Hats: Bobo Hat, Mumu Hat and no hat are each used twice. Both hats have far more left than the two I used of each.
• Looks: I viewed frens 1, 2 and 3 on a classic cyborg pepe and they look right. I didn't view frens 4–6, but the art server returned their trait lists correctly.

Outputs, all in artifacts/5-final/:

• pick.json: the 6 picks, fren 1 first, plus the one-sentence "why". It parses as valid JSON with 6 entries.
• fren.png: fren 1 (combo 6832128) drawn by the art server. It's a real PNG at 672x672; I checked its header directly because imd-media ffprobe failed to start on this machine.
• README.md: notes on the picks and the limits below.

Limits:

• fren.png uses 0 for the other agents' layers, so the final fren 1 will look different once their picks are added.
• If the character step makes any fren a mumu or bobo, that fren loses its hat.

The output files are left untracked, as the brief requires.
