Starter illustrations

The 48 starter illustrations were generated specifically for TPJ Utilities with OpenAI image generation and were cropped and converted by The Project Jugaad. Their retained production provenance is recorded in docs/nature-explorer-artwork-manifest.md.

Revision-2 expansion illustrations

The 152 revision-2 expansion illustrations were generated specifically for TPJ Utilities with OpenAI image generation and processed by The Project Jugaad into bounded WebP and progressive JPEG variants. The source and derivative dimensions, byte totals, SHA-256 hashes, prompts, and category review sheets are retained in artifacts/nature-explorer-r2-artwork. The project owner's approval is bound to the exact artwork corpus by content/nature-explorer/expansion-r2/reviews/artwork-approval-receipt-r2.json. Each published content-pack row also carries its approved media provenance and review record.
