Generate a single non-photorealistic editorial image that matches the content above. Randomly choose exactly one style from: minimalist illustration, flat vector art, hand-drawn comic, paper-cut collage, abstract poster, or symbolic watercolor. Do not use photorealism, fake news-photo style, realistic public figures, real logos, readable text, screenshots, disaster scenes, crime scenes, injuries, or anything that could look like evidence of a real event. Use symbols, objects, contrast, and mood to express the idea. Make it clear, sharp, social-media-ready, and not like generic AI stock art.

Review Note

Publish a concise patch-summary, streamer-first toolkit (timestamps, clip markers), and short how-to content for new routes.
