Notes

• Images generated once, cached at stable S3 keys — never regenerated (per feedback_cache_ai_assets_on_s3_20260509.md)
• Daily quota limit: 70/day on Gemini free paid-tier-1. Hit after 22 successful (10 early failed parallel attempts consumed 10 slots)
• Generative canvas fallback renders luminous abstract art for missing images — visually consistent
• All 30 prompts hard-coded in JS, seeded by date (deterministic, no runtime AI)
• All 50 feed entries hand-written, hard-coded
• Font licenses: Google Fonts OFL — free for commercial use
• No third-party JS libraries; Web Audio API for sound (native)
