Generate Cover Image

A cover works when its composition comes from what the article means, not from its keywords. Everything below serves that: the inspiration text carries the meaning, the site's bundled prompt carries the style (references/cover-prompt.md, or references/cover-prompt-political-incorruption.md for Political Incorruption), and Canva supplies the artwork and the title.

Each prompt ends with a --- line; append the inspiration text after it.

Inputs

• Article: a Markdown file path, or the draft in the conversation.

• Site: the repo the article lives in, from git -C <article dir> rev-parse --show-toplevel. cover-target.py reports it as site. It picks the prompt, the brand template, and the Canva folder:

  Site (repo root)	Prompt	Brand template	Canva folder	What goes in the folder
  ~/Projects/websites/jeffbaileyblog	references/cover-prompt.md	EAHXEEDJKs0 (references/canva-brand-template.md)	FAFgCl26Zkg	each new cover design (step 5)
  ~/Projects/websites/political-incorruption	references/cover-prompt-political-incorruption.md	EAHYZHOADOI (references/canva-brand-template-political-incorruption.md)	FAEsL_JzVxg	the kept artwork (step 3) and each new cover design (step 5)
