Rainy alley food stall: pink neon dragon sign, a cook, a customer pressing a call button, a bowl being served and noodles lifted.

Task: A neon alley street-food scene.

Outcome: succeeded

0.84 s: Wet alley with holographic signs and a lit stall in the distance.
4.18 s: Stall with a pink neon dragon, cook stirring a pot and a customer.
7.52 s: Customer with a hand on her chest next to a glowing X button.
9.20 s: Bowl served on the counter.
12.54 s: Chopsticks lift noodles.
19.23 s: Wide again with the golden neon dragon sign.

Intent vs result: Light colour (pink stall, gold dragon, teal alley) is consistent; story is clear.

Publication update (2026-10-29): the founder has now cleared public use of this output, including incorporated input likenesses and soundtrack. Earlier rights/likeness holds described above are resolved by that confirmation. Reference-input files remain private. Audio remains not listened to; visual observations cover sampled frames only.

Evidence claims:
- [sourced_fact] Timestamped observations above come from viewing 12 sampled frames of the output (sampled visual inspection, not full playback).
- [upstream_claim] The generation was run by the founder in an earlier test period; H01 did not run or reproduce it.
- [inference] Practical neon sources give a consistent palette across shots.
