# _famroll.py — roll ONE opponent family: 31 sprites, one call, one character.
#
#   uv run --with pillow --with requests python assets/_famroll.py br      # one family
#   uv run --with pillow --with requests python assets/_famroll.py sh bb   # several, in sequence
#
# Then cut it back down, review first and install second:

#
# WHY THIS IS IN THE REPO. Every family in ZFAMS except the club pro was rolled by a script that lived
# in a session scratchpad and is gone, off a reference in a gitignored directory. The pipeline PROJECT.md
# calls the one reliable way to make this game's art was, in practice, unreproducible. This is that
# script, tracked, reading the tracked reference that `_famref.py` composes.
#
# IMAGE 1 IS THE POSES, IMAGE 2 IS THE CHARACTER, and naming each image's job in the prompt is
# load-bearing: without it the majority wins and the roll comes back as whatever most of the pixels
# look like. See PROJECT.md, "What the model will and will not do".
