      "summary": "Named the crawfish as a Lamp Road enemy archetype.",
      "reason": "The owner asked for specific enemies instead of placement names; the assignment follows each encounter's staging notes and the decision to expand the prototype fauna into a regional ecology.",

      "summary": "Added Old Siltclaw as the mine's substantial individual variation of the crawfish archetype.",
      "reason": "The fourth-iteration brief places an oversized individual at the partly choked pump intake after it came up the flooded drain. Its concealed water-edge pressure and slow dry-ground movement retain this archetype's rhythm; the flooded route provides a habitat connection and the regional ecology allows the mine encounter to rhyme with Lamp Road.",
      "confidence": "This is the planning session's recommendation on the owner's instruction; the owner has not confirmed it.",

      "reason": "The owner requested artwork for entries without images. The illustration interprets the recorded identity and habitat; it does not establish additional anatomy, story facts, or engine-ready art.",
      "confidence": "Generated catalog concept. Surface detail is richer than the simplified gameplay target. Existing supersession and design history remain unchanged.",
