 - Prompt wording that pulled every face and head toward one look was removed: "consistent facial construction" (concept style) became "individually distinct faces"; the hair locks no longer force "reaching at least to the ears or collar" / "past the shoulders" when the face clause states the hair; the dwarf body lock no longer says "a thick, full beard" (the beard now comes from the face clause, men only, so dwarf women get none); the Subject limit in the compact render prompts is 900 instead of 700 characters to make room for the clause.
 - `vision_ocr_page` routes its request through the cache layer; the default `live` mode behaves exactly as before.
 ### Fixed
+- **Approving a review page keeps all blocks of a multi-page article.** *Approve* without touching a box saved only the regions shown on the current page, so a multi-page article shrank to that page, and *Approve & Next* then created a `Page N` stand-in on the next page. `selectedBlockIds()` now starts from the article's saved blocks (plus visible ticks) unless ticks were changed; explicit tick selections behave as before. Test: `tests/magazine.spec.js` ("approving a multi-page article page by page").
 - **Driving mode text ran out of its frame.** A very long sentence (300+ characters) in the Split view was cut off at the bottom. The text frame now takes the space between picture and controls (flex, `min-height: 0`), the current text fits automatically (1.5 rem down to 1 rem, in rem so text scaling and a 200% root font count), the picture shrinks first, and text that still does not fit scrolls inside the frame and follows the spoken word instead of being clipped. Verified at 320x568, 375x667, 414x896 and 667x375 (also with a 200% root font) in all three amounts.
 - **"Colors: Dark (night)" looked disabled in the light theme.** The menu item carried `data-theme="dark"`, which is also the hook of the app-wide dark palette (`[data-theme="dark"] {...}`), so the button itself got the dark palette's light text colour on the light menu. The theme buttons now use `data-theme-choice`, so no app theme selector can match them.
 - **A boy rendered as an adult:** `_character_age_category` read `age`, but sheets store `age_estimate`.
