+### Practical iteration and prompt diagnosis
+
+- Start from the final deliverable. For a video, intermediate stills need only serve their intended role. Elements references can establish identity, wardrobe, props, environment or style without fixing every camera angle. Frames are literal compositions to animate. Do not make the user perfect every intermediate still when the final video is what matters.
+- Keep the original prompt, original references, model and settings when available. Repeatedly editing an imperfect derivative can compound drift. When a major viewpoint or composition edit keeps failing, compare a different edit wording with a fresh generation from the original reference. Preserve an explicit request to edit rather than silently switching routes.
+- An image prompt describes one still moment. Remove video timelines from an image request and write the desired still. A video prompt describes visible motion, camera trajectory, timing and sound. For an unbroken take, write timed actions within one shot; do not turn intermediate poses into cuts or dissolves.
+- Use economical trials only within the authorized scope and budget. A couple of samples can distinguish random variation from a repeated failure; a few genuinely different prompt approaches can test different mechanisms. These are options, not required extra spending. When comparing models, keep the prompt, references/order, duration and ratio comparable. Ratio affects composition and behavior; preserve the intended output format.
+- Judge the actual result, not whether an LLM praised the prompt. Separate reference binding/delivery failures from a poor source, an unsuitable method, model behavior and mixed conversation context. When an unchanged method fails repeatedly, change the tested hypothesis rather than keep spending on it. Do not promise that a prompt rewrite guarantees success.
+- Use exact numbered upload tokens in attachment order. A title, filename or invented subject name never becomes a registered DNA. Retain a supplied/selected DNA name verbatim, including Hebrew; never invent a DNA to fill a template's CAST block.
+- Keep unrelated goals in separate sessions. When context becomes mixed, preserve a compact checkpoint with the accepted brief, source references, working prompts/settings and observed failures. Offer a supported fork/new session; do not claim to have moved or forked a session without a successful tool result.

 **How calls work:** each generation tool blocks until the job is fully complete. Images: seconds. Video: minutes. Multiple tool calls in one response run concurrently. On hosts with live widgets the tool instead returns `submitted` (or `_timed_out`) instantly — the card updates on its own.

 ## 2. The reference contract — how an edit stops drifting
 
+For iterative work, retain the original source prompt and reference as the baseline. An edit request should preserve only the properties that must survive. If a major camera/viewpoint change repeatedly resists the same edit method, offer a materially different prompt approach or a fresh generation grounded in the original reference; do not keep chaining degraded outputs. Preserve an explicitly selected edit route unless the user accepts changing it. Diagnose with comparable, budgeted samples, not unbounded retries. Image prompts describe one still moment; video timing/action belongs in the video prompt.

 vague to hold, and it is why a chain of edits quietly turns a person into someone else.
