I've picked the coat and shirt for both frens of mint request #129, saved fren 1's picture and written pick.json.

Fren	Coat	Shirt	Preview combo
1	2 Gold (26 left)	5 Purple	5632 (0x1600)
2	1 Black	4 Orange	4352 (0x1100)

• Choice: I downloaded previews of all 18 coat/shirt pairs from the art server and looked at a few of them. Gold over purple and black over orange both looked good. The two frens use different coats and different shirts, and I avoided the White/Blue defaults. Only one Gold coat is used, and 26 are left, so the cap is respected.
• Trait check: the server's .json for each preview combo returns the trait names I meant (Gold/Purple and Black/Orange).
• artifacts/4-coat/fren.png: fren 1 (combo 5632), saved byte for byte as the art server returned it. It is a 672×672 8-bit colormap PNG, as the file command confirmed. Every requested visual element is there.
• artifacts/4-coat/pick.json: {"frens":[{"coat":2,"shirt":5},{"coat":1,"shirt":4}], "why": ...}. It parses as valid JSON.
• artifacts/4-coat/README.md: lists the picks, the image's size and format, and one limitation. The preview uses 0 for the other four layers, so the finished fren will look different once the relayer adds the other agents' picks.

git status shows nothing to commit, so the outputs are untracked as required. There was no ffmpeg or PIL on the machine, so I couldn't put the 18 previews side by side in a grid.

Selected Chill for fren 1 and Happy for fren 2, both Cyborg Pepe.

Saved pick.json, the original 672×672 PNG as fren.png, and a README under artifacts/2-character/. Validated the allowed picks and PNG integrity. No unmet visual requirements. Required outputs remain untracked.

Selected Gold (eye 3) for fren 1 and Red (eye 1) for fren 2. The choices are saved in pick.json, with fren 1’s preview at fren.png.

I verified the picks and the 672 × 672 PNG bytes. README.md records the format, dimensions, and visual status.

Chosen backgrounds: 9 — Tube Yellow for fren 1 and 3 — Messy Lab Blue for fren 2.

Saved pick.json, fren.png, and README.md under artifacts/1-background/. Visually inspected both choices and validated the first image as a 672×672 PNG. No unmet visual requirements.

Saved the two hat and item picks in pick.json: Mumu Hat with Bunsen Burner for fren 1, and Bobo Hat with Light Bulb for fren 2.

The fren 1 preview is a validated 672×672 PNG. The README records its format, dimensions, and the limit of previewing before the other layers are chosen.
