+# Scene prompt - Course VI: GitOps (repo -> reconciler -> cluster, vault apart)
+
+Delivery arc scene A. Six parts; the vault deliberately floats APART from the chain -
+that separation is the teaching point, keep it in curation.
+Generate ~4 at 16:9, curate with the reject checklist, save to disk for pickup.

+
+Dark technical exploded-view illustration in a cinematic sci-fi engineering style.
+Solid near-black deep void background, hex #070b14 - completely clean: no stars, no grid,
+no texture, no particles behind or around the objects. Matte dark metal-and-glass surfaces
+with glowing neon edge lighting: primary cyan #3fbaf5, secondary magenta #e879f9 accents,
+cool white rim highlights. Camera: fixed 30-degree isometric angle, subject perfectly
+centered with generous empty margins on all sides. Even studio lighting, no vignette,
+no lens flare, no depth-of-field blur. ABSOLUTELY NO text, no letters, no numbers, no
+words, no code, no glyphs, no labels, no arrows, no callout lines, no UI elements
+anywhere in the image - every surface marking must be an abstract geometric pattern
+only. Every component is fully separated from its neighbours by generous gaps of pure
+void - nothing touching, nothing overlapping, and no beams, cables, or connectors
+spanning between the separated parts.
+
+The subject: a descending diagonal chain of machines from upper left to lower right,
+each floating alone in void, plus one outlier above.
+
+First, upper left: a large faceted crystal slab of dark glass, its surface etched with
+a fine branching lattice pattern glowing soft cyan, like frozen forks of a river - a
+monument of recorded history.
+
+Second: a compact engine block with two counter-rotating rings recessed into its face,
+one ring glowing cyan and the other magenta, caught mid-comparison - the busiest, most
+mechanical object in the scene.
+
+Third: a neat stack of three thin rigid rectangular sheets with faint cyan edge seams,
+crisp and freshly minted, hovering in perfect alignment.
+
+Fourth, lower right: a wide commanding slab of dark brushed metal with a strong cyan
+glowing seam around its edge - the authority the chain serves.
+
+Fifth, drifting below and away from the fourth slab, tilted and dim: a small broken
+shard with a weak grey-magenta ember glow, clearly falling out of the composition.
+
+Sixth, floating high above the whole chain and clearly apart from it: a small heavily
+armoured vault cube - layered dark plates, one thin amber-white glowing seam - sealed,
+dense, deliberately distant from everything else.

+## Build-side notes (not part of the prompt)
+
+- **Slice plan:** 6 polygons - repo crystal, reconciler engine, rendered-sheet stack,
+  cluster slab, drift shard, secret vault. Collapse packs the chain into the engine;
+  the VAULT keeps its distance even collapsed (never absorbed into the pipeline - the
+  Move 3 visual argument). Drift shard exits as the legend hits selfHeal. Clamp at hero.
+- **Legend mapping:** repo "desired state - the deploy button is a commit" / engine
+  "ArgoCD: compare, diff, sync" / sheets "rendered manifests" / slab "actual state -
+  Course II's cluster" / shard "drift - reverted by selfHeal" / vault "the one thing
+  git never holds - logical reference in git, value in the vault".
+- **Watermark:** Gemini sparkle bottom-right - strip before slicing (ffmpeg delogo).
