-**Gemini-specific defect.** Adding superfluous `:hover` transforms to images (`transform: scale(1.02-1.05)` or `rotate(N deg)` on `<img>` elements) is your most common motion tell. Hover effects on images add no real information; the image isn't an action target. Don't add image-hover transforms by reflex. If a card containing an image needs hover feedback, animate the card chrome (subtle elevation, border treatment), not the image inside it.
+**Gemini-specific defect — hard ban.** Never animate `<img>` elements on hover. This includes any `transform` on `:hover` of an image, AND `.group:hover .group-hover\:scale` / `.group:hover .group-hover\:rotate` / `.group:hover .group-hover\:translate` patterns from Tailwind that animate a child image via a parent hover. This is your single most common motion tell — it adds no information (the image isn't an action target) and reads as "AI animated this because it could". If a card needs hover feedback, animate the card's background, border, or shadow. Never the image, never via the image's parent.
