Generative Polish

Generative polish is a bounded creative technique: build the message-critical creative with deterministic tools, generate or edit only the visual finish with ImageGen, then re-compose the final asset deterministically.

The goal is to get premium visual quality without letting generative image tools rewrite approved copy, distort charts, alter product claims, invent UI, or break social placement specs.

Read references/experience-contract.md before writing user-facing plans, handoffs, or artifact links.

Read references/artifact-contracts.md before creating, repairing, or reporting artifacts.

Read references/review-renderer.md before creating local review pages, contact sheets, or asset pack previews.

Read references/codex-exec-image-generation.md before running ImageGen.

Read references/image-building-strategy.md alongside the Codex exec contract for first-pass imagery rules.

When using deterministic SVG, chart, page, or layout exports from another workflow, treat that file as the canonical layer. Do not use generative polish to alter chart data, rewrite approved text, change template status, or replace canonical source artifacts.

Use approved media only when the user provides it or points to a separately maintained source. The plugin no longer bundles a brand-media registry, so publish-bound marketing derivatives should treat media inputs as explicit external references.
