PICKED - CRAFT O4 holds the slight spotted non-Komodo proportions the care line demands with four coherent limbs and a complete banded tail, and is the only plate without the dark cavity at the neck base or a stray floating claw (the unforked yellow tongue is row-wide and non-deciding).

PICKED - CRAFT O4 seats a correct adult on the falls' dry sandy approach with the shade line intact, full silhouette and unbroken tail, and is the only hide free of foreign colour: no orange raised spots (O1), no teal shoulder patch or red jaw marks (O2), no ragged canvas edge or torn shoulder flap (O3).

PICKED - CRAFT O4 holds the dappled shade line across an unbroken silhouette with no foreign colour anywhere on the hide, against O2's teal patch and gold ring, O1's dark cavity at the neck-shoulder junction and O3's costume-like collar frill.

PICKED - CRAFT with the human-hand inset and the red spectacle mask shared by all four and therefore non-deciding, O2 is the artifact-free plate: coherent upright seated build, five clean digits on the raised hand and both planted hands, no embedded objects.

PICKED - CANON O3 is the only plate obeying the one-small-hard-mark rule (a single red eye in profile, no second glowing eye) while carrying a legible void patch on the flank, on believable bamboo and tree-fern ground over volcanic soil.

PICKED - AUTHENTICITY O3 is the only plate free of modern objects and wrong-place architecture: no clapboard houses, no mailbox, no power pole, no printed sky, just a lean brindle village-type dog on an unpaved track with a single red eye.

PICKED - CANON O1 is the only plate holding both required tells cleanly: one hard mata mbere at eye height on a gaunt androgynous night-form, over the region's own ground (tree fern, bamboo, fan palm, dark ash crater basin), with no artifact anywhere in frame.

PICKED - CRAFT O2 is one animal, one head, one continuous body entering the water with a fully three-dimensional ambush coil on wet volcanic rock, and it is zoology only, no rite, cloth or set stone; O1 duplicates the head and carries letterform marks at lower-left.

PICKED - CANON the trophy register the care line bars outright is gone - a living whole stag standing on its own four feet, with no shed antler, no skull-cap bone and no severed head anywhere in frame - and the species now reads: a simple lyre of three tines to a side on smooth round beams rather than palmated fal

PICKED - CRAFT O3 is anatomically clean end to end: symmetric upward tusks, four correctly built legs with cloven hooves and dewclaws, coherent mane and tassel tail, honest ecology with no hunt, kill or carcass.

PICKED - CANON THE PER-ROW STRENGTH PRESCRIPTION IS PROVED ON THE ROW IT WAS WRITTEN FOR - at LoRA strength 0.55 the soft blurred mass that 0.8 produced is gone and the crisp painted read is back: at 2x individual mane hairs, hard-edged hide folds over rib and hip, sharp jaw and fetlock and hoof all resolve.

PICKED - CANON at 2x each mark resolves as TWO separate teardrop gouges lying side by side with a clean wall of mud standing between them, sharp ends meeting at the front and broad ends splayed at the back, punched into grey volcanic mud with a raised lip of displaced mud around each - a true cloven read, with no

PICKED - CRAFT O1 is the only clean hide in the row: no red lesions or open punctures (O2, O3) and no detached dark saddle-flap on the shoulder (O4), with correct varanid anatomy, a forked tongue-flick rather than a kill, on dry lowland leaf litter with a water margin.
