Useful to borrow

Use short statements to organize a fast reel, then slow down for access controls and the saved artifact. Keep output collages separate from workflow evidence.

Do not infer

The collage is breadth-of-output imagery, not a sequence of demonstrated interactions. Do not copy the purple identity or imply generated apps are native product screens.
