I made artifacts/image.png: a 512 × 512 PNG (8-bit RGB) of the IU_0269 bubblegum cat with shades, a helmet and a suit. ffprobe confirmed the format and size.

I drew it by hand on a 32 × 32 grid with a small Python script, tools/draw_iu0269.py, rather than using the image generator, so every colour is exact. Each grid square is scaled up to a 16 × 16 block of identical pixels, so the edges are hard with no smoothing, gradients or blur.

What's in it:

• Cat: one front-facing bust, centred, in bubblegum #ea8bb6, with the suit's shoulders running off the bottom edge.
• Helmet: a steel dome with a cobalt band, gold rivets and a small phosphor light on top. The pink ears poke out through holes in it.
• Face: navy shades with a lagoon glint, a brick nose and bone whiskers.
• Suit: navy with cobalt lapels, a bone shirt, a brick tie, and gold buttons and pin.
• Background: solid #0c1610 with six single-pixel moss specks.
• Outlines: thick black around every shape.
• No text: there is no text, logo, frame or border. The outfit is a suit, not a UI tee, so the U+I logo exception doesn't apply.

Colour check: I decoded the PNG and found exactly 12 colours: the outline black, the background, and 10 colours from the allowed palette.

Unmet or uncertain requirements, also listed in README.md:

• Outline thickness: outlines are one grid square wide (32 px in the final image), the thickest a 32 × 32 grid allows.
• Collection match: I had no pieces from the 787-piece set to compare against, so whether it fits the collection isn't checked. It follows the written brief only.

artifacts/image.png is untracked, as the task requires. The script and README are also uncommitted, since I wasn't asked to commit.
