New section 4.5 quotes the corner-arrival, entrance-threshold, and
Patio-of-Origins passages from both tracks side by side (they turn out
to be near-verbatim identical, sharpening the shared-root-narrative
finding from the previous revision), each paired with one image from
each track. Track B images are added as compressed, paper-specific
copies at paper/images/ (originals in docs/images-salingaros/ are full
resolution PNGs); Track A images are referenced directly from
docs/images/.
One Track B image is used as-is despite showing hallucinated wall
signage ("Museo America Andina" instead of "Museo Nacional del
Ecuador") - kept deliberately as honest, concrete evidence for the
symposium's hallucination critique in section 5, rather than cropped
out.

Author fact-checks on paper/paper.md:
- Site area simplified to ~13,000 m2 throughout (drop pseudo-precise
13,004.65 m2, even though it's genuinely in the official brief).
- Corrected a significant factual error: the two tracks are not fully
independent - Track A's visitor narrative and half of Track B's merge
input both descend from Salingaros' shared root narrative. Section 4
rewritten around "divergent elaborations of a shared root", with the
convergence claim re-evidenced from the material that actually is
independent (3 of 4 Track A narratives, Track B's second merge input,
both image-generation stages).
- Attributed Salingaros' image critique-loop account as self-reported,
not independently verified, with image-numbering gaps noted only as
circumstantial support.
- Added the authors' working hypothesis for the image-register gap:
partly a deliberate medium request (watercolour vs unconstrained),
partly that Track B's prompts carried the full pattern+form-language
text inline per image vs Track A's short distilled per-scene prompts -
clearly hedged as unverified.
- Fixed an overclaim that symposium participants judged both image sets;
they only saw Track B's.
- De-emphasized the plan-layout idea throughout (title, abstract, intro,
section 7, conclusion) to read as one possible future direction in
prose, not work in progress.

Tracks a follow-up to ecuador-lco - the paper currently describes the
two narrative tracks and images only in summary form; the prose and
images are themselves part of the evidence and should be shown directly.

Full draft at paper/paper.md following the agreed outline: abstract,
background on the Museo Nacional competition, the form-language method
extension and its templating/validation, the two-track worked example
(Postle narrative/Midjourney vs Salingaros narrative/ChatGPT), July 23
symposium reception (including the "flavors, not solutions" critique),
drawbacks, and the proposed plan-layout future work. Reception quotes
checked against the transcript; content adapted from Salingaros' partial
process-report article where applicable. Not yet submission-ready --
needs author review and a formal reference list.

Outline covers the plan-layout extension paper: method extension with
form-language layer, worked example as two independent tracks, July 23
symposium reception, drawbacks, and next steps. Section 4 flags that
Salingaros' ChatGPT images read as more compelling/photo-realistic than
Postle's Midjourney set (cause unknown) and that the paper should draw
primarily on the Salingaros set; follow-up tracked as ecuador-gup.

Distills the two-step Salingaros prompting process (docs/salingaros-form-language-prompt.md)
that produced ref/Ecuadorian_Form_Language_Grammar.md into a reusable, placeholder-driven
prompt template for any region/site/typology, in templates/. Addresses failure modes not
present in the original worked example: unverified "search" claims, region-scale incoherence,
missing buildability/code-compliance disclaimer, and unscoped cultural-sensitivity risk around
sacred/ceremonial motifs.
Closes ecuador-vay.

Records the next methodological step - distilling Salingaros' form-language
prompts, the Two Languages for Architecture chapter, and the Ecuadorian
Form Language Grammar into a reusable, localizable prompt template.

Salingaros ran his own independent version of the pattern-language method
(narrative, ChatGPT images, process-report article) in parallel with our
narratives/ -> docs/counter-proposal.md pipeline. Records what each new
file is and how it relates to our deliverable, and removes the earlier,
superseded draft of his process-report article.

docs/illustration-prompts.md gives one fully self-contained prompt per
illustration placeholder in docs/counter-proposal.md (13 images total,
some placeholders covering two distinct scenes). Each prompt has the full
shared style guide - warm watercolor/gouache medium, fixed post-storm
lighting, the material/color palette, ornament placement rules, and a
consistent, non-stereotyped cast of people - pasted literally inline
rather than cross-referenced, so any single prompt can be copied straight
into an image generator on its own and still produce an image consistent
with the rest of the set.

docs/counter-proposal.md brings the visitor, staff, school-group, and
community narratives together in full, under one preamble, as the document
intended for publication and illustration. Strips pattern numbers, grammar
codes, and ref/ provenance citations that belonged to the drafting process,
but keeps every narrative's full length and detail rather than condensing -
this is a presentation of the work, not a summary of it.

Completes the full pipeline from CLAUDE.md's Process section: official brief
distilled to genuine human-needs facts with full National Collection detail
(ref/brief-condensed.md); named failures mined from the critique transcript
and mapped to countering patterns (ref/critique-failures.md); shared design
invariants extracted from Salingaros's contributed narrative and reconciled
against the brief (ref/project-chassis.md); and all four stakeholder
narratives drafted and cross-checked for pattern/brief/grammar fidelity and
mutual consistency (narratives/01-visitor.md through 04-community.md).

Plans the remaining CLAUDE.md pipeline (condense brief incl. National Collection
content, mine critique transcript for named failures, extract/reconcile a shared
chassis from Nikos Salingaros's contributed narrative, adapt/write 4 stakeholder
narratives, cross-check for consistency) as a tracked epic with dependencies.
