# Visual inspection and modeling gate

All three original 2880 × 2880 PNG sheets were downloaded and visually inspected on 2026-09-10 alongside the three source photographs. Root independently confirmed the principal findings. Requested aspect ratio was 3:2; workflow returned square sheets, so the delivered aspect ratio is a provider discrepancy.

## 01 — mosque multiview, generation 479159

**Reject as a geometric blueprint.** Hero view visibly contains five minarets and roof plan contains six, including towers at the far prayer-hall corners. The authentic aerial shows exactly four at the courtyard corners. Elevation panels also vary in balcony count and layout. This is a critical architectural mismatch, not acceptable stylization.

The central dome/axial half-dome idea, limestone, lead and balcony detail are useful visual studies. Small domes, buttresses, window spacing and courtyard proportions are approximate. Generated north arrow is not verified and must not define world orientation. Detail closeups imply more carving and individually modeled seams than mobile should use: bake these into atlases. Do not count source photograph foreground domes/buildings as part of the mosque itself.

## 02 — house/shop kit, generation 479160

**Accept for vernacular typology and materials, with corrections.** Timber upper storeys, masonry/plaster ground floor, enclosed cumba, brackets, eaves and restrained shopfronts are useful. The source photo shows an actual narrow street with a timber shop facade, but cannot validate the invented rear and side elevations. Rear view is partly perspective despite an elevation label; windows and projecting masses do not fully reconcile between views. Roof cutaway construction is an illustrative suggestion, not a verified Ottoman construction detail.

Generated +2.80, +5.60, +8.60 and ground -0.60 labels are estimates invented by the image model, not measurements. Ten color swatches do not establish ten distinct geometries; modeler must vary frontage, storey count, bay positions and roof profile. Individual roof tiles, filigree grilles, grain, carving and boards should be texture/normal details at the assigned 3–6K triangle house budget. The house sheet is a warm architectural drawing; its GTA influence is restrained rather than a strongly graphic poster style.

## 03 — streets/materials, generation 479161

**Accept mood and material palette only; reject as layout authority.** Ten house volumes are labeled and two parallel street corridors appear in the large image. The top-down plan and perspective do not consistently represent the same road/house positions. Mosque courtyard is omitted or compressed into an incorrect front arcade. The open detached gardens are more suburban than the dense source street; high repeated walls and identical house modules require variation.

The east direction label is invented. Source does not establish this street arrangement or uniform ground slope. Paving is a design choice: the dated street photo shows a relatively smooth paved/asphalt surface, not the illustrated uniform cobblestones. Follow the coordinator-authored coordinates in MODELING_BRIEF.md for two streets and exactly ten houses; follow the authentic aerial for mosque topology.

## Source inspection notes

- Anadolu overhead: clearly exposes dome hierarchy, open rectangular court, porticoes, four courtyard towers, and cemetery beyond the opposite prayer-hall end. It is a photograph, not an orthorectified metric survey.
- Visit Istanbul skyline: confirms slender unequal minaret pairs and stone/lead silhouette; warm grading affects color judgment, and foreground structures belong to broader urban context.
- 2008 house street: supports timber cladding, pink ground-floor shop plaster, projecting upper volumes and stone enclosure wall; dated conditions should not be presented as present-day documentation.

No generated sheet is a measured drawing.

## 04 — mosque correction, generation 479167

**Preferred generated mosque topology reference.** Downloaded and inspected: overhead now correctly has exactly four minarets at the open courtyard corners, no towers at the far prayer-hall corners, and two axial half-domes. The side perspective also shows four towers with differentiated pairs. This fixes the principal defect in sheet 01.

Still not a blueprint: overhead includes perspective tower lean; courtyard ornament, central portal and window arrangements are synthesized; only three towers are visible in the courtyard view because of framing. The side panel is a perspective city view despite its elevation label, and the generated southeast label is not independent orientation evidence. Foreground city buildings are incidental source context, not added scene assets. Material detail and photography-like rendering are stronger than the requested graphic GTA influence. The authentic aerial remains the highest authority for geometry.
