Automated OCR (pytesseract) was attempted as a secondary grounding pass but did not reliably return text in this session for the dense illustrated screens; because every relevant screen shows crisp, high-contrast white/gold text with no ambiguity, direct visual reading was used as the primary source and nothing was inferred or guessed.
