+These textures were generated specifically for Ransom's Wake on 3 October 2026
+with OpenAI's built-in image generation tool. No third-party image was used as
+an input or reference.
+
+## `naval_painted_steel_albedo.png`
+
+Prompt summary: seamless, orthographic PBR-style albedo of dark blue-green
+naval painted steel, with restrained salt-air oxidation, micro-scratches,
+paint chips and grime; neutral illumination; no borders, rivets, text or
+watermark.
+
+## `analog_gauge_face_albedo.png`
+
+Prompt summary: orthographic vintage naval gauge face in aged ivory enamel,
+with fine crazing, soot, speckling and a faint printed arc; no bezel, needle,
+hub, glass, text, numbers, logo or watermark.
+
+Both source outputs were resized to 1024 × 1024 and stripped of metadata for
+runtime use. The original generated outputs remain in the local Codex image
+generation store and are not required by the game.
