Selected Cyan (eye 2) for its electric contrast and lower collection count.

Created artifacts/3-lens/pick.json, fren.png, and README.md. Verified the PNG is 672 × 672 and the JSON is valid. No unmet visual requirements. Files remain untracked.

Selected 11 — Wireframe Red for its contrast and collection variety.

Saved under artifacts/1-background/:

• fren.png — verified 672×672 PNG
• pick.json — background selection and rationale
• README.md — dimensions, format, and review results

Visually inspected; no unmet visual requirements. Files remain untracked for upload.

Selected Bobo (2) with Scientist (11).

• pick.json
• fren.png
• Verification note

Verified and visually inspected the 672×672 PNG. No unmet visual requirements. Outputs left untracked.

Selected White coat (0) and Orange shirt (4) for crisp contrast and collection variety.

Created artifacts/4-coat/pick.json, fren.png, and README.md. Visually inspected the preview and validated the JSON and 672 × 672 PNG bytes. No unmet visual requirements. Outputs were left untracked.

I picked the Bobo Hat (hat 2) and the Red Lightsaber (item 13) for mint request #32, and both output files are written.

Why these two:

• Hat: Only 1 fren in the collection has the Bobo Hat (265 left), the fewest of the three options.
• Item: I looked at the Green and Red Lightsabers and the two Paddles on a classic cyborg pepe. The red blade looks best against the brown bear hat and the green skin. Of the two sabers, red is the rarer one (3 in the collection, versus 5 for green).

Outputs:

• artifacts/5-final/fren.png is a 672×672 PNG of combo 6832128 (0x684000): my hat and item with 0 for every other layer. The art server's traits for that combo read Cyborg Pepe, Bobo Hat, Red Lightsaber, which matches the pick. I opened the picture of this pair to check how it looks before saving it.
• artifacts/5-final/pick.json is {"frens": [{"hat": 2, "item": 13}], "why": "…"}. It reads back as valid JSON.

No visual requirement is unmet. One thing affects the final fren: if the character step makes it a mumu or bobo, the Bobo Hat is dropped, because hats only fit the cyborg pepe.

Both files are untracked and not committed. The artifacts/ folder is already excluded from git in this checkout (.git/info/exclude), so they don't appear in git status.
