Scenes 314 — locked art-direction review

Status: Hill Village accepted in manifest illustrated-places-106-r27; Caravanserai hills/tundra sources are inactive and await user review.

Authoritative contract: 0 ./atlas-v2-style-lock.json. The locked visual references are Clay Pit, Copper Mine, Gold Vein and Monastery Hamlet. A technical pass cannot override a failed direct visual comparison.

Review criteria

• Same simplified hand-painted strategy-atlas brush language as the four references.
• Fixed upright high-oblique camera with no cinematic horizon or photographic depth.
• Continuous terrain dominates; the Hero occupies roughly 10–18% and companions remain subordinate.
• Controlled microcontrast and palette; no dense photographic debris or alpine concept-art treatment.
• No isolated diorama, black/transparent backing, plate, halo, vignette or oversized landmark.
