wuwiandClaude Opus 5 67a410e707 Show the generator what to copy, not what to replace ...

The reference sheet is what it imitates, so building that sheet out of the very
sprites I was trying to change is why the front-facing player came back
front-facing and the side-on runner came back side-on. A batch can now name
`ref_only` — the frames it looks at — separately from the frames it replaces:
the back view is drawn from the one genuine back-view frame, the charging runner
from a front-facing zombie, and each brute wound pair from its own A frame so the
injury cannot wander between the two.

Also stopped colour-matching a REPOSE. Fitting a differently-posed frame onto the
old one's colour statistics is what greyed out the serve shorts; when the pose
changes the generator's own palette is the better answer.
