Pocket Kingdom canonical sample¶

Verified local scout ready. These four directions were generated by the pinned AIsketcher v0.2 SDXL + Canny pipeline, then the chosen parent was refined into four structure-locked variations. The final result, inputs, seeds, lineage, hashes, and runtimes are bundled as replayable aisketcher.manifest/v1 manifests.

Four seeded directions¶

Direction 1, a dark gray, coral, and turquoise paper diorama — 01 · Most distinct
`1230364807`

Direction 2, a pale framed paper collage — 02 · Alternate
`570858588`

Direction 3, a restrained cream and teal paper collage — 03 · Alternate
`1614830769`

Selected direction 4, a warm pastel blue and coral paper diorama — 04 · Selected
`1197419234`

“Closest structure” and “cleanest edges” are auditable edge metrics, not aesthetic rankings. Direction 4 was selected as the parent after visual review; it also had this scout's highest structure similarity (0.426114) and edge cleanliness (0.989116). Small characters, colors, and object identities are still interpretations rather than exact reconstruction.

Refine the selected parent¶

Direction 4 was varied at Subtle strength with Structure locked. All four children preserve its broad arrangement while exploring paper texture, warm accents, and background treatment.

Variation 1 with a lightly grained warm paper background — V01 · `518939554`

Variation 2 with a wavy layered paper background — V02 · Cleanest edges
`158771503`

Selected variation 3 with restrained texture and warm geometric accents — V03 · Final selection
`878769505`

Variation 4 with luminous peach paper accents — V04 · Closest structure
`808982494`

Variation 3 became the final human selection because its quieter backdrop and restrained warm shapes support the central silhouette. Variation 4 scored slightly higher on structure (0.425823), illustrating why technical badges remain evidence rather than an automatic art director.

The scout manifest and variation manifest contain immutable model revisions, the resolved prompt and negative prompt, exact seeds, parent lineage, technical scores, file hashes, and runtime versions. Studio's current Guided Sample uses the separate privacy-reviewed HPO hero fixture; Pocket Kingdom remains this documentation-only canonical lineage example.

MPS reproducibility

Canny preserves edge layout, not semantic identity, exact counts, palette, or typography. MPS finite-output guards rejected unstable attempts during validation; no black or non-finite image is published. Hardware and runtime changes may preserve the recipe and seeds without producing pixel-identical output. Variation input is pre-encoded with the VAE in CPU fp32, and each MPS seed runs in an isolated pipeline to avoid cross-seed memory drift.
