## User Feedback Addressed

Original feedback:

- Character image in `character-anchor-v1-codex-test.png` is preferred.
- Walking posture in v1 is too hunched.
- Regenerate with walking posture closer to `character-chatgpt.png`: upright chest, not bent at the waist.

V2 prompt response:

- Preserved v1 as preferred character-image reference.
- Used `character-chatgpt.png` as positive walking-posture reference.
- Added strict negative constraints against hunched walking, bent waist, rounded shoulders, bowed head, and collapsed posture.

## Review Checklist

| Check | Result | Notes |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Preserve v1 character image direction | Pass | Face, hair, beard, coat, backpack, and boots remain close to v1. |
| Walking side less hunched than v1 | Pass | The main central walking side cell is visibly more upright. |
| Chest / upper body more open | Pass | Main walking pose has a straighter upper body and less collapsed shoulder line. |
| Walking back not defeated | Pass | Rear walking pose is steady and does not read as collapsed. |
| Same-person consistency | Pass | Multi-view identity remains coherent. |
| Coat / backpack / boots stability | Pass | Object system remains strong and consistent. |
| Text dependence avoided | Pass | The board does not rely on exact generated labels. |

## Remaining Notes

- The small lower-left walking pose still has mild forward lean, but it reads as motion rather than waist-bent defeat.
- The main walking side cell is the strongest posture repair and is closer to the desired "挺胸走" direction.
- Compared with v1, v2 has slightly more structured layout and a somewhat less intimate half-body portrait, but the identity direction remains usable.

## Recommendation

V2 is a better candidate than v1 if walking posture is the priority.

Suggested decision:

1. If the user accepts v2, use `character-anchor-v2-codex-posture-test.png` as the first accepted character anchor candidate and create `character-identity-lock.md`.
2. If the user wants one more repair, keep v2 as the base and further specify: "all walking cells must be upright; no secondary walking pose may lean forward."
3. Do not create transparent slices until a character anchor candidate is accepted.
