Selected Green (eye 0) for its vivid glow and lower collection count.

Created under artifacts/3-lens/:

• fren.png — verified 672×672 PNG.
• pick.json — validated JSON pick.
• README.md — image details and visual review; no unmet visual requirements.

Outputs remain untracked.

Selected 3 — Messy Lab Blue.

Saved artifacts/1-background/pick.json, fren.png, and README.md. Verified the JSON and original 672 × 672 PNG, and visually reviewed the image. No unmet visual requirements; outputs remain untracked.

Selected White coat (0) and Green shirt (2).

Created artifacts/4-coat/:

• pick.json
• fren.png — verified PNG, 672×672
• README.md — review and validation details

Reviewed all 12 pairings. No unmet visual requirements. Outputs remain untracked.

Completed the character/face layer deliverable.

• Selected Cyborg Pepe with Scientist face (character: 0, face: 11; combo preview 44).
• Saved verified 672×672 PNG: fren.png
• Wrote the required choice record: pick.json
• Added format, dimensions, and requirement status: README.md

For mint request #143, I picked hat 0 (None) and item 10 (Drink), and both output files are written.

• Hat 0 (None): it was the only hat offered for this minter.
• Item 10 (Drink): I looked at three of the six items on a classic pepe: the Drink, Magnifier and Magnet. The Drink's orange mug looks good against the white lab coat, and the collection has only 15 Drinks, the fewest of the limited items. Picking the rarest one follows the brief's advice to keep the collection varied.

Outputs

• artifacts/5-final/fren.png: the art server's picture of combo 5242880 (the Drink, with 0 for every other layer), saved exactly as served. It is a 672×672 PNG, and nothing the brief asked for in the image is missing.
• artifacts/5-final/pick.json: {"frens": [{"hat": 0, "item": 10}], "why": "…"}. It parses as valid JSON.

The other layers in the picture are placeholders, so the finished fren will look different once the relayer combines all five picks. If the character step makes it a mumu or bobo, there's no hat to drop because the pick is already None.

Both files are left uncommitted for the upload; git status doesn't list them, so the artifacts/ folder appears to be ignored by git. I didn't write a README, so these notes are the only write-up.
