      "prompt": "Use case: ui-mockup. Create a polished web product design study for ThetaHerd, an options-strategy app. Reference 1 is the existing Cattle landing screen for soft sage/cream/lilac identity and quiet hierarchy only. Reference 2 is its ghost-cow character style only. Reference 3 is the existing Cow form for a clear next action, not its dark brown palette. This is a proposal, not a live financial screen. Essential meanings: first choose Cow or Bull. Cow is a short strategy: 'Buys as price falls. Sells as it rises.' Bull is a long strategy: 'Buys as price rises. Sells as it falls.' AFTER that choice choose assets, then collateral. Cow supports 'Fully funded' or 'Aave collateral' where the pair is supported. Bull offers Aave collateral only for now; never draw an enabled fully-funded Bull choice. Ghost means Aave collateral, not debt. Borrowing is optional AFTER funding. Dark mode is appearance only and never changes strategy or collateral. No return percentages, fake balances, profits, coin streams, safety promises or wallet popups. All important words are real UI text, not tiny footnotes. Brand 'ThetaHerd'. Do not add 'advanced' mode. Use rounded clay-like cattle illustrations as companions, not as substitutes for textual labels. Hypothesis A: an open daylight pasture with two equal, generous first-choice cards is the clearest first visit. Warm ivory, sage fields, editorial serif headline, crisp sans-serif labels. Header has ThetaHerd, Your positions, and a little sun/moon button. Heading 'Find your side of the pasture.' Two obvious buttons/cards Cow and Bull with the exact behavioral copy. Cow is a friendly white/lilac spotted solid cow; Bull a friendly warm-toned solid bull with broader horns. Card footer Cow 'Fully funded · Aave available on supported pairs'; Bull 'Aave collateral'. A quiet lower strip says 'Choose a strategy → Pick your assets → Choose collateral'. Show one wide desktop screen and a separately composed narrow mobile screen on one clean board. Native, legible 44px+ controls, no device frames. Keep illustrations secondary to the two choices.",

Use rounded clay-like cattle illustrations as companions, not as substitutes for textual labels. Hypothesis B: a compact Cow / Bull segmented picker inside a single workspace will serve returning users better than two large cards. Show a moonlit navy/teal and lavender workspace, Cow selected, pair wstETH / USDC on Base, and a calm two-choice collateral row 'Fully funded' and 'Aave collateral'. Show a small ghost indicator beside the Aave choice, a small sleeping solid cow as decoration, and an awake ghost cow nearby. A visible next button says 'Set price and schedule'. Concise inline description 'Supply to Aave. Choose whether to borrow after funding.' Show desktop and separately composed phone alongside, native readable text and large controls. Do not present sleep as paused trading. No populated wallet figures or invented prices. At the top show 'Design preview · No wallet needed'.",

Use rounded clay-like cattle illustrations as companions, not as substitutes for textual labels. Hypothesis C: a guided collateral comparison after choosing Cow can explain the ghost transformation with less jargon. Produce a focused two-step UX storyboard, not a whole landing page: left screen asks 'How should your collateral work?' with pair 'wstETH / USDC · Base' and equal choices Fully funded (solid cow) and Aave collateral (same cow ghostly). Fully funded copy 'Your tokens stay in the trading position.' Aave copy 'Supply assets to Aave while the strategy trades.' Below selected Aave choice say 'Borrowing is a separate choice after funding.' Right screen is the result: 'Ghost Cow', 'Short strategy · Aave collateral', a three-step line 'Create → Fund → Optional borrowing', and a 'Review an example' button. A small persistent Cow / Bull selector makes backtracking clear. Airy pale lilac/sage daytime palette; charming white lavender ghost character. Show an extra small phone crop preserving both collateral choices. No arrow implying a current funded position instantly changes contracts. Mark 'Design preview'.",

  "characterAtlas": {
    "prompt": "Use case: stylized-concept. Asset type: transparent character atlas for ThetaHerd website day/night theme. Input image 1 is character style reference only (original friendly Cattle ghost cow). Input image 2 is the approved visual direction, reference only, especially the solid warm brown bull. Generate exactly ONE transparent 1536x1024 image, divided invisibly into FOUR equal columns and TWO equal rows, each cell 384x512. Exactly eight separate full-body clay-toy characters, each centered in its own cell with generous empty transparent margin and completely contained; no character crosses a cell boundary. No grid lines, no captions, no scenery, no floor, no drop shadow, no text, no UI. Columns are identities: column 1 solid white COW with lavender spots, small lilac horns, pink muzzle, four little legs; column 2 solid warm caramel BULL, broader curved cream horns, four legs and tail; column 3 GHOST COW, same white/lavender/pink identity, legless floating tapered scalloped ghost tail; column 4 GHOST BULL, warm ivory/lilac glow with broad bull horns, pink-brown muzzle, legless floating tapered ghost tail. TOP ROW DAY: solid cow and solid bull awake and friendly; ghost cow and ghost bull peacefully asleep, closed eyes and tucked little arms, floating bodies still visible. BOTTOM ROW NIGHT: solid cow and solid bull lying asleep with folded legs and closed eyes; ghost cow and ghost bull awake, friendly dark oval eyes, with subtle lavender moonlight rim lighting. The day and night identities must match precisely. Soft matte clay surface, rounded anatomy, charming high quality game-companion art, consistent sizes, three-quarter front view. Real transparent alpha everywhere outside each figure. No money, shields, arrows, symbolic writing, sparkles, words or checkerboard."
