# _crowdroll.py — roll the crowd sheet itself: the SEATED master, and the arms-up frame of it.
#
#   uv run --with pillow --with requests python assets/_crowdroll.py seat   # -> _refcheck/crowd_seat.png
#   uv run --with pillow --with requests python assets/_crowdroll.py clap   # from that seated roll
#
# _refcheck is SCRATCH. A roll you decide to keep is copied to `assets/_sheet_crowd3.png` (seated)
# and `_sheet_crowd3b.png` (arms up) — those two are the tracked art, they are what `_crowdpass.py`
# reads, and they are the only copy there is. Then `_crowdpass.py` turns them into an honest pair
# and grades them into the three courts.
#
# WHY A SECOND SCRIPT. `_regen.py` cuts SPRITES out of a magenta field — every line of its canvas
# block is about isolating figures on a key colour. The crowd is the opposite job: one continuous
# backdrop image that is drawn edge to edge with nothing keyed out, so it needs its own prompt and
# its own aspect. The one thing it borrows is the lesson those rolls paid for: SAY THE ART
# RESOLUTION IN FIGURE HEIGHTS, never in pixels — the generator picks its own canvas, so "90 pixels
# tall" is a proportion it can act on and "1408 wide" is not.
#
# The seated roll takes the OLD sheet as image 1 for LAYOUT ONLY (tiers, railing, camera angle,
# people-per-row) and is told in as many words that the drawing itself is to be redone finer. The
# clap roll takes the NEW seated master as image 1 and asks for the same picture with some of those
# people on their feet — it WILL drift, which is fine and expected: `_crowdpass.py` keeps only the
# blobs where arms genuinely went up and throws the drift away.
