The independent review gate
The 1st AD is an independent reviewer: an agent that did not make the image, checking every generated or captured image against a detail checklist (hands, eyes, mirrors, text, editor overlays, continuity with the story bible) before any of it reached Cristian (ruling R10). A rejected file goes back as a fix task with coordinates and a fix; after three rounds a person decides.
The gate was strict on purpose. On 12 Nov all 29 generated reference images for the cast and sets failed it, and the studio switched to building the sets and a MetaHuman cast in the engine. Its cost is real too: review and fix rounds used about as many tokens as feature work (see What broke).
Rejected, then fixed
Game frames from the repository history: the version on the branch when the review ran, and the version that passed. Scaled down.
