 The agent resolves the version and Git range from your request, saved releases, repository tags, and release metadata. It reports a clear scope and proceeds without a tag-selection or confirmation step. If inspection leaves materially different scopes, it asks which work to cover in ordinary language. You can still supply explicit refs to select a particular interval.
 
-The draft skill defaults the original language to English and suggests the user's current language for optional translation. Its question accepts additional language names or locale codes through free-text input, as well as an English-only choice. An English-speaking user is not offered a duplicate English translation.

The draft includes the source and those selected translations. Use the same draft skill later to add a language or refresh translations.
+Language selection is a first-use decision. When it is still unresolved, the draft skill defaults the original to English, suggests the user's current language for optional translation, and accepts additional language names or locale codes as well as an English-only choice. Explicit choices and intentional project settings are reused. The first selection is saved in `releasekit/config.yaml` before preparing the draft, without a separate confirmation. Each new draft uses the current config's original language and complete translation set without asking again, even when previous releases used different languages. Existing drafts keep their saved selection. The draft includes the source and all selected translations; use the same skill to request a language change or refresh translations. Changing project defaults affects future drafts while earlier releases remain unchanged.

Each release keeps its own copies, so changes to the common design do not rewrite earlier releases. Bullet edits and translations do not require new pictures. The directories are created when reviewed originals become available; see [common images](kit/references/common-images.md).
 
 After generation, review the images and ask the agent to revise anything you dislike or replace it with another approved image. When no image changes are needed and the content is complete, ask for `releasekit-finalize` to confirm the release.

 Releases store the comparison start and end SHAs in `release.yaml`, with relevant paths or commits attached to individual notes. They do not save a full patch or a separate changed-file index.

The existing dark variant is retained. The compiled per-theme prompts remain the reusable inputs from the shared scene and project policy.
+
+Use case: precise-object-edit. Input image 1 is the existing LIGHT symbol-pair illustration and is the edit target. Keep the input canvas exactly 1586 by 992 pixels and preserve every subject's current position, shape, size and spacing: three slider tracks and their round knobs on the left, the thin central divider, and one location pin with a circular cutout on the right. Change only the flat neutral fills. BOTH complete glyphs, including all track and knob areas, must use one uniform medium gray #999999. The background must be a uniform #F8F8F8 and the divider #D9D9D9. The pin opening reveals the background. This illustration is a static association, so no accent is used. Do not retain the dark gray glyphs from the input. Keep crisp edges and the existing geometry without adding blur, shadows, highlights, outlines, seams or texture. Do not add text, symbols, watermark, UI, or a tile. Produce one LIGHT image, not a collage.

+# Neutral symbol-pair edit requests
+
+These are the actual built-in image-tool prompts for the neutral-color revision. The shared scene and compiled per-theme prompts describe the reusable composition. These requests record the constrained edits of the earlier example.
+
+The dark edit uses the earlier `dark.png`. The light counterpart uses the accepted neutral dark output. The boundary correction uses the first light candidate. The size correction uses that first light candidate as its dimension reference and the boundary-corrected candidate as a local shape reference. Intermediate candidates are not selected gallery assets.
+
+## Dark neutral edit
+
+Use case: precise-object-edit. Asset type: original release-note symbol-pair illustration, dark variant. Input image 1 is the edit target. Make a constrained color and flat-fill correction to this existing image. Preserve the entire 1586 by 992 canvas, the exact existing positions and dimensions of the three left slider tracks and their three round knobs, the central thin vertical divider, and the right location pin including its circular negative-space cutout. Keep the same broad empty margins and non-directional association. Change the entire formerly colored location pin to the SAME uniform neutral gray as the entire adjustment glyph: #B9BBBE. Both symbols, including the slider knobs and tracks, must use that one identical flat neutral fill. Use one uniform dark charcoal canvas #242527 and a subdued divider #46494D. Remove material shading, gradients, texture, shadows, highlights and lighting from these schematic shapes and the background. This is a static association between preferences and a saved location, with no selected item, enabled control, live location or status. There is no functional reason for accent color: use no blue and no other chromatic accent anywhere. Keep the pin opening and spaces between slider parts as negative space revealing the canvas. Crisp gently antialiased filled edges. No arrows, routes, extra objects, tile, text, logo, watermark or surrounding interface. Output a single DARK raster image only, never a comparison or collage. Keep input dimensions and geometry.
+
+## Light counterpart
+
+Use case: precise-object-edit. Asset type: original release-note symbol-pair illustration, LIGHT theme counterpart. Input image 1 is the approved neutral dark variant and the composition reference. Create its light counterpart as a constrained presentation-role edit. Preserve the exact 1586 by 992 canvas, positions, sizes, and contours of all subjects: three left slider tracks with their three round knobs at the same offsets, the short central thin vertical divider, and one right location pin with its circular negative-space cutout. Preserve the broad empty margins and non-directional association. Change only presentation color roles: a single uniform near-white canvas #F7F8FA, the ENTIRE adjustment glyph AND the ENTIRE location pin in the SAME single uniform medium-dark neutral gray #494D52, and the thin divider #DDE0E5. The pin cutout and other negative spaces reveal the canvas. Both symbols remain entirely neutral; no blue or other chromatic accent anywhere. This scene depicts a static association, not a selected, active, live or enabled state. Keep crisp flat filled shapes and gently antialiased edges. Remove texture, material shading, gradients, shadows, lighting and highlights rather than adding depth. Do not change geometry, add a tile, new objects, arrows, routes, text, labels, logos, watermark or surrounding interface. Do not create this by color inversion or a global brightness filter: apply the specified semantic color roles. Output one LIGHT raster image only, not a comparison or collage, with the same dimensions and composition as the input.
+
+## Slider boundary correction
+
+Use case: precise-object-edit. Input image 1 is the edit target: the neutral LIGHT location-preferences illustration. Correct only the three slider knob boundaries. Remove the thin white crescent seams, white rings or background-colored gaps where each circular knob overlaps its horizontal track. Each knob and its track must form one continuous connected filled silhouette in the SAME medium-dark neutral gray, with no internal outline, seam, shadow, highlight or gap at their overlap. Retain the exact outer shape, round knob dimensions, all three knob center positions, track lengths and row positions. Preserve the whole 1586 by 992 canvas, the location pin and its cutout, the divider, near-white background, all existing layout, margins and scale. Both symbols remain the same neutral gray; no blue or chromatic accent. Use crisp flat filled edges and no texture or lighting. Do not change or add any subject, text, label, badge, arrow, UI, logo or watermark. Output one corrected LIGHT image only, retaining the input canvas dimensions.
+
+## Output size correction
+
+Use case: precise-object-edit. Produce one LIGHT release-note symbol-pair illustration. Input image 1 is the 1586 by 992 LIGHT edit target and controls the required output dimensions and geometry. Input image 2 is a local correction reference only: it shows the preferred removal of the white crescent seams around the slider knobs, but its width is 1585 and MUST NOT set the output width. Keep the exact 1586 by 992 canvas and every element location from input 1. Apply only the improved continuous slider silhouette from input 2. The circular knobs and their horizontal tracks must meet as continuous filled shapes in the same uniform gray, with no white crescent gaps, rings, outlines, shadows or highlights at the overlap. Preserve all three track lengths and row positions, knob sizes and center positions, the neutral location pin and its cutout, divider, broad margins, near-white canvas, and matching neutral gray treatment of both symbols. No accent color. No new objects, labels, text, decoration or UI. Output exactly 1586 pixels wide by 992 pixels high; do not crop any pixel column. Use input 1's full-size frame, not input 2's smaller frame. One LIGHT image only.

package/examples/queue-action/README.md

@@ -6,10 +6,12 @@ This fictional list interaction demonstrates the shared scene contract and theme
 
 The resting rows and the blue action backplate share one fixed left boundary. Only the middle foreground row and its contents move to the right, by the width of the exposed action. This keeps the action inside the original list bounds. The [alignment edit prompt](alignment-edit.prompt.md) records the targeted correction to the earlier illustration.
 
+The current light gallery variant is `light-soft.png`, revised with [this palette edit request](light-palette-edit.prompt.md). It uses one `secondary` tone for incidental bars, `raised` for abstract thumbnails, `surface` for rows, and the existing purposeful action accent. Earlier `light.png` remains part of the example release snapshots.

 The generator is intentionally outside the CLI. In a real project, run `image plan`, generate the requested variants with the agent's available tool or an external service, inspect them, and use `image import` to record the selected files.
