A comp region drawn on the 10x10 grid over-covers: a body-copy crop carries the last headline line above it and a drawing beside it, and one session measured 'thread-body' at cap 160px off a carburetor drawing and ranked Londrina Shadow for it. Tall non-text 'lines' leave the mass reference; lines cluster by cap height and the cluster holding the most ink (multi-line first) is measured, re-applied after upsampling.
The plates NEXT line now names generate-image.mjs --plate as the tool (harness image tool only as fallback) after a session spent 25 turns keying plates with magick.
