Steve called the mural-animals tiles 'cheap'. Pivot to bespoke FULL-WALL
SCENIC MURALS in the de Gournay / Iksel / Gracie / Zuber et Cie
tradition.

  - Print spec: 20ft wide × 11ft tall, 300 dpi target
  - SDXL render: 1408 × 768 (near-exact 20:11 aspect)
  - Upscale-to-print is a separate downstream Real-ESRGAN pass
    after favorites are picked (1.1 megapixel → 72k×39.6k requires
    ~51x scaling — out of scope for the art-direction batch)
  - 18 panoramic scenes — Chinese chinoiserie valley with pagoda,
    French formal terrace with folly, English wildflower hill, Tudor
    cottage garden, Persian paradise, Victorian conservatory,
    Scottish glen, Yorkshire kitchen garden, Provence lavender,
    Pre-Raphaelite tapestry, Edwardian wildflower meadow, Spanish
    Moorish patio
  - 10 animal scatter groups — animals as small naturalistic accents
    (left/center/right), NEVER hero, botanical detail dominates
  - 9 antiqued grounds — ivory linen, burnished silver-leaf, tea-
    stained paper, faded silk celadon, hand-applied gilt, parchment
    w/ foxing, oyster hemp w/ sumi-e ink, champagne metallic
  - 12 strictly 5-color palettes (Steve's spec) — explicit color
    lists pinned to the prompt
  - 7 styles in named-house language — de Gournay commission, Iksel
    panel, Gracie hand-painted Chinese, Zuber et Cie scenic paper,
    Pre-Raphaelite illustrator, Mughal miniature, Arts-and-Crafts
  - HARD-NO clause — NO seamless repeat / tile / tropical / palm /
    monstera / banana / Warhol / pop-art / cartoon / neon / drinks /
    joints. Plus: 'single uninterrupted scene', 'every leaf and
    petal individually rendered'

Storage: kind='mural', width_in=20, height_in=11, panels=1,
category='mural-scenic'. /mural-scenic friendly URL + hero block
('Bespoke scenic mural · 20ft × 11ft · five-color').

Batch of 30 firing now (in-flight mural-animals tile batch was killed
since Steve called those cheap).
