cg_05_column re-rolled and replaced. It now has Ivy a half-step ahead of the
line with both hands held open and visible, which is the beat the read-aloud
actually describes — "one woman walks forward with her hands held where you can
see them". The line behind her is still drawn uniformly, so the six at the back
remain indistinguishable, which is the one hard rule in the notes.
cg_04_crossing is unchanged. Seven attempts did not beat the original: the
plate has to be grey and dead and empty, and the generator supplies any two.
The original's livestock are confirmed real rather than rocks — a crop of the
hillside shows grazing animals and a barn — so the defect stands, recorded in
STATUS rather than quietly kept.
What the failures taught is now in CLEAN_GROUND_ART.md, because it is worth
more than the plate:
- Naming a thing to exclude it puts it in. "No birds, no sheep, no movement"
and "the grey is dust and not snow" produced, respectively, livestock and
snow. Both negations summoned what they forbade.
- Steering off snow steers into summer: the moor comes back green and alive,
which is worse than either.
- A long --no list stalls the job outright. Four consecutive prompts with ten
or more exclusions never produced a grid; the same prompt with four returned
in two minutes.
- Filter words costing a 30-minute timeout each: wound, dead ground, lifeless,
smothered, and shot — including in "nobody in shot".
