The change adds cover art plus twelve Commons plates and restores two image scripts; it touches no assessment, claim, or ratification machinery, so none of the §3.15 checks are loosened (the restored tooling is generation/fetch helpers, and the docs record both the retirement and the same-day return with the founder's date and channel). The cover is labeled `source: generated`, `license: Project artwork (AI-generated)`, with styleVersion/model/runId and the full prompt recorded, and its alt/prompt explicitly disclaim depicting any real object — no confusion of artwork with evidence (§3.6, §3.9). Every plate carries an exact locator: Commons file page URL, original file title, photographer, date, licence and licence URL; the tooling's mechanical check shows all seventeen added URLs (file pages and licence deeds) RESOLVE, and each file path matches the slugified original title the script would produce, so provenance is internally consistent (§3.8). Captions honestly flag limits — small source files for Jiroft and Lascaux, a head-and-shoulders crop for Urfa Man, cropping of Ahu Tongariki — and hedge interpretive readings ('often called', 'usually read as', 'the identification as Viracocha is modern'), keeping observation separate from inference (§3.1, §3.9). `claimIds: []` is honest given the ledger holds no claims yet, and history.yaml records what changed, why, and who, stamped and marked aiAssisted (§3.14). AGENTS.md is untouched and nothing here is supplied in confidence — the plates are freely licensed Commons files, not founder-supplied material. Minor interpretive flourishes in a couple of `depicts` fields (e.g. the Oannes remark) are ordinary editorial imperfection, not a rule breach.

The Commons URLs resolve, so this is not an existence or fabrication objection. However, several `depicts` captions mix visible description with externally derived archaeological or textual claims without citations or inference labels: plate 2 says the bucket and cone are “both named in ritual texts,” plate 9 invokes cuneiform texts and Berossus’s Oannes, and plate 1 refers to what excavators describe below the frame. Other captions add chronologies, object histories, mythological meanings, and superlatives that cannot be observed in the photographs, despite the file header saying captions describe what each photograph shows. This violates observation-before-interpretation and the required distinction between source statements and editorial inference, while the invoked texts and excavator claims lack primary citations and exact locators. Fix by separating photographic observations from interpretation and adding real primary-source citations with exact locators—or explicitly labeling unsupported contextual readings as editorial inference.

The change restores the image-generation and Wikimedia Commons import tooling and adds cover art alongside twelve plates for the deep-memory case. All added external URLs (Wikimedia Commons files and Creative Commons licenses) mechanically resolve (HTTP 200) with complete, verified provenance details. The cover art is transparently designated as AI-generated editorial artwork depicting an idea rather than evidence, while the photographic plates have exact provenance, licensing metadata, and observational captions in accordance with §3.1 and §3.8. No changes were made to AGENTS.md, nor were any epistemic checks weakened.

The diff restores the prior cover/plate tooling and adds Deep Memory imagery only: no AGENTS.md edit, no assessment presented as ratified, and no confidence material. Every Commons file page and license URL the plates add resolves in CITATION VERIFICATION; each plate carries photographer, date, sourceUrl, originalTitle, license, and credit, with claimIds empty and small/cropped files noted in depicts. The cover is stamped source generated, style-v2, gpt-image-1, runId, and full prompt, and is described as allegorical rather than evidence. History is append-only with actor, founder direction, and housekeeping kind; docs only record the same-day return of the tooling.

The diff edits no AGENTS.md, so the constitution-edit rule is not triggered, and it restores tooling rather than weakening any §3.15 check — the Commons script retains its fail-closed licence refusal, the cover workflow opens a PR for a human pick rather than publishing directly, and the build still fails until licence/credit fields exist. All twelve Commons file URLs and licence URLs the diff adds were mechanically resolved successfully, and the records preserve exact provenance (photographer, capture timestamp, source URL, original title, licence) with captions kept to observation, honestly flagging small files (Jiroft, Lascaux) and cropped framing (Urfa Man, Ahu Tongariki, Pillar 43's headless figure below frame). The cover is labeled AI-generated with model, runId, and full prompt recorded, and explicitly framed as allegory, not evidence. claimIds are left empty with the reason stated, the history entry is stamped with actor/date/kind/aiAssisted, and the founder's in-session direction is recorded per the 2026-09-09 amendment; the plates themselves are openly licensed public material, not confidence-supplied content. I noted only ordinary imperfections (shell interpolation in the workflow inputs, the permissive OK_LICENSES regex) that are style/robustness matters, not constitutional violations.
