 ## [Unreleased]
 
-## [1.41.0] — 2026-09-21
-
-### Changed
-- **The character sheet follows the finished profile picture.** After the portrait is made and checked, what it shows (hair colour, length and style, facial hair, eye colour) is written into the turnaround and story-moment prompts, so a character whose sheet says nothing about hair no longer gets long hair in the portrait and a crop on the sheet.
-
-### Fixed
-- **Profile portraits in a forest instead of the studio.** The portrait prompt is now short and framing-first as well (like the turnaround in 1.40.0): measured on a character that got scenery in 4 of 4 portraits, 4 of 4 now have the plain studio backdrop.
-- Armed characters again get their own costume cut and colours in the sheet (lost when the turnaround prompt was shortened).
-
-## [1.40.0] — 2026-09-21
-
-### Fixed
-- **Character sheets: the turnaround showed figures cut off at the knees, in a forest.** The turnaround prompt is now short and puts the framing first (three full-body views, head to shoes, plain white studio). Measured with the automatic image check: full bodies went from 0 of 5 renders to 10 of 10, and 12 of 12 on three different characters.
-- **No more wounds or odd faces from one-off moments in a character's description.** Anger ("rote Stirn bei Wut"), tears, trembling, twitching or a tongue over the lips were drawn as permanent features (red marks, a tongue sticking out); they are left out now, like wounds. Scars are left out of images entirely — even a faded scar described as fully healed came out as a fresh gash.
-- Removing a wound from a sentence no longer leaves half-sentences behind; a faded coat is not mistaken for a faded scar.

-## The turnaround prompt is short and framing-first (2026-09-21)
-
-Measured with turnaround-only renders scored by the image check (`scratchpad feet_experiment.py`):
-
-| turnaround prompt | full body, head to shoes | plain backdrop |
-|---|---|---|
-| long compact prompt (~3 000 chars, framing rules mid-prompt), 1536x1024 | 0/5 | 2/5 |
-| same, taller 1536x1280 canvas | 2/5 | 0/5 |
-| same + "visible floor, contact shadow" wording | 0/5 | — |
-| **short, framing first (~770 chars)**, 1536x1024 and 1536x1280 | **10/10** | **10/10** |
-| the app's new prompt on Karyla, Darrag, Eolan (4 seeds each, after the fixes below) | **12/12** | **12/12** |
-
-The 4-step Qwen-Image model follows the start of a prompt and loses the tail, so wording changes inside the
-long prompt did nothing. The prompt now opens with the framing (three full-body views side by side,
-head to soles, empty space above and below, plain white studio), then the character (subject capped at
-700 chars), then only the rules a sheet needs, one short sentence each: leather-only armour, headwear,
-elf ears (only for elves), child/teen proportions, clean skin and clean well-kept clothes.
-
-What the validation runs found, each fixed and pinned by a test:
-* **Passing states drawn as features** — "rote Stirn bei Wut, Tränen … vor Wut" became red marks (Darrag);
-  "Zunge streicht über die Lippen" a tongue sticking out (Eolan). Anger, tears, trembling, twitching,
-  blushing, sweating, licking are stripped like wounds.
-* **Scars** — even a scar the sheet calls almost faded, with "fully healed, pale silvery line" added,
-  rendered as a fresh red gash, and that sentence put slashes on hands and robe. Scars are left out of
-  image prompts entirely; this model cannot draw a subtle one.
-* **A dropped clause starting a sentence** left fragments ("und die rechte Augenbraue"): the whole sentence
-  now goes. "faded blue wool coat" stays (a costume, not a scar).
-* Hedges "unklar" / "wird erwähnt" drop speculative sentences.
-
-**Portrait (identity image) got the same treatment.** Old prompt ~2 800-3 700 characters, new ~875, framing
-first ("full-length studio photograph … head to shoes … head in the upper third … plain white studio"). Identity
-renders cropped exactly as the profile picture is, scored by the portrait check, 4 seeds each:
-
-| | old prompt | new prompt |
-|---|---|---|
-| Karyla | 0/4 (scenery backdrop every time) | 4/4 |
-| Darrag | 4/4 | 4/4 |
-
-Both prompts share one rules line, which now again carries the per-character costume cut and colours for armed
-characters (`_character_design_variation`; the first short turnaround had dropped it) and names the setting
-("in the world of The Dark Eye"). The portrait asks for empty hands; weapon handling stays in the story prompt.
-
-**The sheet follows the finished portrait.** After the portrait passes its check, the vision model describes what
-it shows (`look`: hair colour/length/style, facial hair, eye colour, `look_phrase`, punctuation stripped and short),
-and the turnaround and story prompts are rebuilt with "exactly as in the portrait: …". Found on Darrag, whose sheet
-says nothing about hair: the portrait had shoulder-length hair and the turnaround a crop; the face transfer copied
-the face but not the hair, and the same-person check failed on all three sheet attempts. Best effort: no
-description, no change.
-
-Open: robes can still come out with ragged hems; the story-moment prompt is still long.
