The background is a bright blue sky with soft white clouds, giving a cheerful, cozy, toy-box atmosphere. Light, rhythmic music is described in the rules as part of the intended mood (not verifiable from static screenshots).",

    "BUY BONUS purchase is non-functional in this demo build: the dialog opens correctly, the YES button visibly reacts to a click, and the dialog closes cleanly, but the balance is never debited by the purchase price and the Wild Drop feature never starts. Verified by the capturer with more than fifteen distinct click methods (exact zoomed coordinates, small-offset repeats, synthetic pointer/mouse events - rejected by the game engine as untrusted, which itself confirms the engine is actively distinguishing trusted from untrusted input - and rapid raw-HTTP click chains). The control NO produces an identical clean-close-no-side-effect result, confirming the click pipeline itself works correctly on this canvas game (menu/settings/autoplay/spin all function normally) and the fault is specific to the Buy Bonus confirm action in this particular demo build/session, not a general capture failure. This mirrors a known prior precedent of a per-build dead purchase button on a different slot.",
    "The progress-bar's 4-icon strip shown on paytable pages 6-7 (and identically on splash preview_1.png) displays the badges for Clone ('C'), Smash ('S'), a third icon that - confirmed by a 4x zoom crop - is pixel-identical to the dedicated Re-Spin badge (gold coin 'R' flanked by two curved horseshoes, matching paytable_p20.png/respin_feature_natural.png exactly), and X-Lines ('X'). The paragraph text printed on the SAME pages (and repeated verbatim in the rules booklet, rules_p7.png) instead names the pool of four random progress-bar features as 'Wild Blast, Smash, X-Lines and Clone' - i.e. the text says Wild Blast where the icon strip shows Re-Spin's badge. Re-Spin's own rule text (page 20) independently describes it as firing on non-winning spins, unrelated to the progress bar, which is consistent with the TEXT's list (Wild Blast/Smash/X-Lines/Clone) and inconsistent with the ICON strip. This is recorded as an observed, zoom-verified inconsistency inside the game's own in-game documentation graphics, not a claim about which of the two is the actual game logic.",
    "win_big_cascade.png was deliberately substituted by the TL for a near-zero (0.04 FUN) capturer frame; OCR was run across the available burst frames for the largest legible 'Total win' value, which also happened to be the only frame showing the Big Symbol x2 badge. As noted in 'screens.win_big_cascade', a '+0.06' increment is still flying on that frame, so 1.60 FUN is a mid-cascade running total, not a confirmed final round result.",
    "A page captured by scroll_capture.py as paytable2_p1.png turned out to be a byte-identical duplicate of paytable_p20.png (0 pixel difference) - the panel scroll had not advanced between capture batches. The duplicate file was excluded from the manifest's shot list (left on disk, not deleted); the genuinely new final page was kept as paytable2_p2.png and renumbered to page 21."
