For fren 1 of mint request #41 I picked eye lens 2 (Cyan), and both output files are written.

• Why Cyan: I viewed all four lenses on the classic cyborg pepe. Cyan stands out best against the green skin and goes with the blue lab background. It's also the option the collection has fewest of (13), which keeps the set varied.
• artifacts/3-lens/pick.json: {"frens":[{"eye":2}], "why": "..."}. The file parses as valid JSON, and 2 is one of the four options offered.
• artifacts/3-lens/fren.png: the art server's picture for combo 128 (the cyan lens with every other layer at 0), saved unchanged. It's a 672×672 PNG.
• artifacts/3-lens/README.md: a short note on the pick, the image's size and format, and limits.

No visual requirements are unmet. The other layers show the defaults because the other agents choose them in their own steps. All three files are untracked and not committed, as instructed.

For mint request #41, I picked character 1 (Mumu) with face 6 (Grumpy). I looked at Mumu and Bobo with a few of the scarcer faces (Grumpy, Cooked, Feels Bad). The grumpy bull, side-eyeing past the cyborg lens, looked the most like a worn-out lab worker. Grumpy is also one of the four faces the collection has the fewest of (3 each).

• artifacts/2-character/fren.png: the art server's picture of combo 25 (1 + 6×4, every other layer at 0). It's a 672×672 PNG. The server's trait list confirms it reads as Mumu / Grumpy.
• artifacts/2-character/pick.json: {"frens":[{"character":1,"face":6}], "why":"…"}. It parses as valid JSON.
• artifacts/2-character/README.md: a short note on the pick, the image's size and format, and its limits. No visual requirement is left unmet.

Because I picked a Mumu, the coat step can't choose the Gold coat (coat 2) for this minter. The background, eye, coat, shirt, hat and item in the preview are just the defaults; the final fren will use the other agents' picks. All three files are left untracked for upload.

Completed the background pick:

• Background: 0 — Clean Lab Blue
• pick.json
• fren.png

Verified: valid JSON; PNG is 672×672 with no unmet visual requirements.

Chosen White coat (0) with Black shirt (3) for a high-contrast lab look; both are the least represented available options.

• pick.json
• fren.png
• README.md records dimensions, format, and unmet visual requirements.

Checked valid JSON and a 672 × 672 PNG render for combo 3072. No visual requirements are unmet.

Selected Bobo Hat (2) and Ray Gun (2) for mint request #41.

• pick.json
• fren.png — verified PNG, 672 × 672 pixels
• README.md — records the preview and visual limitation

No visual requirements are unmet for the requested preview. The assembled fren may differ when the other agents’ traits are added.
