  shadowman-* manifest.js entries (other entries round-trip byte-identical)

scripts/export-p24-shadowman.mjs copies status=approved finals to <p24>/cartoons/shadow-man/ and
writes cartoons/shadow-man-data.js; --test-include-pending is for scratch-copy verification only.

- Rendered 20 original Shadow Man briefs locally ($0 SDXL) + 2 simplified-prompt retries;
  visual review (signature, no fake lettering, gag adherence) kept 13 of 20 briefs.
- gen_shadowman.py: 6% bottom crop kills SDXL's painted fake signatures; raw frames saved;
  --force re-render; per-brief negative_extra. retry_briefs.py writes r1/r2 retry batches.
- build-shadowman.mjs publishes reviewed finals to public/shadowman/*.jpg + data/shadowman.json.
- Inkwell: Shadow Man section + Arena Ideas section (62 ideas from 5 local models, extracted by
  scripts/extract-arena-ideas.cjs), theme/era/model filters, sort, density, created date+time chips,
  checkbox select, big Approve/Delete buttons, sticky bulk bar, in-page delete confirm,
  show-deleted/restore. Loopback-only POST APIs through sendClean(); delete moves images to
  generator/out/_trash; approved arena ideas queue to generator/idea-queue.json and
  compose-prompts.mjs --from-queue turns them into the next batch. Actions log to
  data/shadowman-actions.jsonl.
- verify-inkwell.cjs: +36 checks (62/62 pass against a scratch copy).

Items are kept only when the holding institution's own rights field says public domain / CC0 /
NoC-US. scripts/fetch-pd-cartoons.mjs builds data/pd-cartoons.json + local images; /api/cartoons
(research records) is no longer served; verify-inkwell.cjs 28/28 incl. PD gallery checks.

Filter/sort/density persist to localStorage; every card shows a created date+time chip
(ISO in title=); click opens a detail modal with full art + extracted panels. Styles live
in public/style.css only. scripts/verify-inkwell.cjs is the E2E check (22 assertions,
incl. a negative self-test of the name detector).

The Flux-generated daily posters carry a bottom-right signature reading the artist's
name (pixels, so the text scrub could not catch it). import-p24.mjs now paints that
corner (x80-100%, y84-100%) with the region's median colour on every daily poster.

scripts/import-p24.mjs reads the P24 repo read-only: images/*.jpg, the 22 cartoon
strip pages (Playwright renders + advances every panel, saves each artwork svg with
computed styles inlined, a strip PNG, and decodes embedded rasters), and the daily
cartoon queue posters. Slugs/captions are scrubbed of the artist name; the script
exits 1 on any leak.

Research data kept verbatim in data/cartoons.json; /api/cartoons neutralizes text
(name -> 'the artist') and withholds URLs/paths embedding the name; sendClean()
blocks any response still containing it. Adds /api/p24 route for imported art.

Steve: Conrad cartoons are research-only. Viewer renders text records with a
source link; the 19 reference images move to research/reference-img (not served).

- Sourced 11 new verified cartoon images: all 10 Library of Congress items
  via loc.gov's own full-resolution service derivatives (visually confirmed
  against each item's cataloged title/subject), plus one more (Nast 1982
  homage) via Spartacus Educational. Reused 6 already-verified images as
  clearly-labeled representative images for the 3 Pulitzer-year and 3
  archive-collection-summary records (year-of-work awards and finding aids
  name no single cartoon). 25 of 38 records now show a verified image
  (up from 8); the remaining 13 documented cartoons have no digitized copy
  found anywhere free and show an honest "no verified image found" placeholder
  linking to the citation source.
- Added a topics[] array to all 38 records (Nixon/Watergate, Vietnam War,
  Civil Rights, Nuclear Arms & Cold War, Reagan Era, Iran-Contra, Space Race,
  Gun Politics, Media & Press, Economy, Religion, LA/California, and more),
  shown as chips on cards and in the modal.
- Rebuilt the header into a sticky top nav: wordmark, section links
  (Cartoons / Pulitzers / Library of Congress / Archives / Bio), a
  horizontally-scrollable topic-chip row with live counts, a search box,
  and a decade quick-jump (50s-00s). Bio opens in the existing modal.
  Added a Topic A-Z sort option; all choices persist to localStorage.
  Collapses to a hamburger menu at mobile widths with no horizontal
  page scroll (verified at 390px).
- artifact/ (the metadata-only shareable build) is untouched.
