    "provider_ref": "SGHappiestChristmasTree",
    "art_style": "Flat-shaded 2D cartoon illustration with soft painterly shading and gentle highlights (not fully flat vector, not photoreal 3D). Symbols are glossy, rounded, toy-like objects with soft drop shadows and warm rim-light; the base-game background is a detailed painted night-time snow-village street scene with visible brush texture, and the bonus/free-spins background is a warm painted fireplace-room interior. Overall mood is cheerful, cozy, family/children-friendly holiday illustration (mobile-casual look), NOT dark or cinematic. Camera/view is a straight-on frontal view of the reel grid (no isometric or top-down perspective); background scenes use a shallow one-point perspective (street receding into the distance / room walls). Lighting is warm and inviting: golden window light, string lights, candlelight and firelight against a cool blue night sky or warm brown wood tones — no neon, no harsh realistic global illumination.",
    "theme": "Christmas / winter-holiday theme centered on a decorated Christmas tree, an old-fashioned snowy European village street at night, and a cozy fireside room. No named human or animal mascot character — the 'hero' motifs are festive objects: a decorated Christmas tree (also the WILD), a nutcracker soldier, a teddy bear, a toy train, a toy drum, and hanging ornaments (bell, star, moon, bauble).",
    "documentation_purpose": "Exhaustive accessibility documentation (blind/low-vision screen-reader users, deaf/hard-of-hearing, color-blind users of all types, motor-impaired users) built from 32 desktop screenshots (1280x800) + verbatim OCR/on-screen text + zoomed crops of the paytable and the in-game 'i' booklet and the platform Help screen.",
    "method_notes": "All numeric claims were cross-checked against at least two of: the in-game booklet ('i' button, 6 pages), the platform Help screen (scrolling HTML document, 9 segments, opened via the gear/Game Menu icon), and a live-measured game frame (bet panel + win amount on the same screenshot). Where a number could not be confirmed on any screen it is explicitly marked null / 'not printed in the build' rather than estimated. The demo currency symbol printed everywhere in the client is '‡' — this is the demo/fun-play token marker used by this Habanero test build, not a real-world currency, and is not reported as the game's currency.",

    "base_game_background": "A cobblestone European village street at night, seen head-on between two rows of snow-capped timber-frame houses with warm yellow-lit windows and hanging string lights; deep blue-navy night sky, falling white snow particles, a black wrought-iron street lamp on the left, a snow-covered Christmas tree with lights at the far right edge.",
    "frame": "Thick red-and-white diagonal candy-cane-striped border running around the entire reel area; round red ornament balls with a gold highlight sit at the four corners and at intervals along the sides, alternating with small red five-pointed star ornaments.",
    "reel_cells": "No individual cell dividers/boxes are drawn behind most symbols on the base street background — symbols float directly over the scene. Wild tiles and some feature overlays are drawn on a small rounded gold-framed square card.",
    "feature_screens": "Free Games and the Prize Pot award screen use a warm brown/orange fireside-room background (stone fireplace with orange fire glow, red Christmas stocking, lit candles, a small wooden moose figurine, a framed picture, wrapped gift boxes) instead of the cool blue street.",
    "prize_pot_bonus_screen": "Keeps the same cool blue night-street background as the base game; the 12 pick items are green wreaths with a red bow and red berries, arranged in a 4-column x 3-row grid.",
    "accent_colors": "Warm gold and red dominate UI chrome (buttons, capsule/wordmark banner, candy-cane border). Title wordmark 'HAPPIEST CHRISTMAS TREE' is on a red ribbon banner with gold 3D-embossed lettering. The four Prize Pot capsules at the top are individually color-coded: green (bell), purple/violet (bauble/ornament), teal-blue (moon), pink/magenta (star) — each also carries its own icon and printed currency value, so color is never the only cue.",
    "symbol_colors": "WILD/Christmas tree: green foliage, magenta/pink ribbon bows, gold tinsel garland, red and blue/purple round baubles, gold star topper. Teddy Bear: tan/light-brown plush fur, red ribbon bow, red circular card background. Nutcracker: red-and-gold soldier hat with white fur trim, pale skin, rosy red cheeks, blue eyes, blue sleeve, red cape, violet/purple circular card background. Toy Train: green engine body, red-and-white candy-cane striped funnel, a cartoon snowman face on the front, red wheels. Drum: green and red drum body with gold rope trim and cream drumhead, gold circular card background. Bell (low symbol): gold/brass. Star (low symbol): pink/magenta. Moon (low symbol): light cyan-blue with a sleepy cartoon face. Ornament/bauble (low symbol): purple/violet with a gold swirl pattern."

This screen scrolls as one continuous document (no sub-tabs), captured across 9 vertical segments via scroll_capture.py; page 1 (rules_p5.png) begins cleanly at the very top of the document ('The player is playing with fun money.') with no cut-off leading text.",
    "booklet_i_button": "A 6-page paginated booklet (not a scroll) opens over a dimmed street background, styled with the same red candy-cane border as the reel frame: page 1 'Paylines' (40 numbered line diagrams on a 5x3 grid), page 2 'High Win Symbols' (paytable), page 3 'Low Win Symbols' (paytable), page 4 'Prize Pot Feature' (rules text, quoted above), page 5 'Free Games Feature' (rules text, quoted above), page 6 'Other Rules' (spin cost, win-combination rules). Navigation: a left-pointing triangle (previous), a home icon (closes the booklet), and a right-pointing triangle (next) at the bottom center; 6 small dot indicators show the current page (the active dot is red, the rest amber/yellow). A footer line on every page reads 'Malfunction voids all pays and plays · For more information, see How to Play · Last modified 2026/07/14 13:10:45 (UTC)' — this is a build/content timestamp, NOT the game's release date."

    "Small numbered badges (e.g. '23', '4', '10') occasionally visible near the left/right edge of the candy-cane border are decorative ornament-number artwork baked into the frame graphic, not a functional counter — confirmed by zooming in and by the numbers appearing inconsistently across unrelated frames with no correlation to game events.",
    "The Prize Pot Feature's 4 collection counters (progress toward 3-of-each) have NO visible UI representation anywhere in this build — see features.prize_pot_feature.progress_visibility. This is a genuine accessibility gap, not a missing capture: the rule text confirms the counters exist internally, they are simply never surfaced to the player.",
    "Free Games triggered far more often (5 times) than the Prize Pot Feature (1 time, after roughly 600-615 spins of hunting) in this session, consistent with the stated trigger difficulty: Free Games needs only 3+ Wilds in a single spin, while Prize Pot needs 3 separate winning-combination hits of EACH of 4 different low symbols across many spins in the base game.",
    "A single spin can satisfy both feature triggers simultaneously (observed once): the spin that completed the Prize Pot 3-of-4 collection also contained 3+ Wild symbols, producing one combined round with both the Prize Pot award and the full 15-game Free Games round.",
    "base_game.png and base_game_max_bet.png are visually near-identical (only BET LEVEL/COIN and the resulting Prize Pot capsule numbers differ) BY DESIGN — no spin occurred between them; they exist specifically to document the linear Prize Pot scaling formula across bet configurations, not as a duplicate capture."

    "Whether the Prize Pot Feature's internal collection counters are ever exposed under any other menu/state not visited this session (e.g. a player history screen) is unconfirmed; based on the full sweep of settings/autoplay/game-menu screens available, no such display was found."
