# beautify-decoration (v1) A repo-specific iteration loop for visually redesigning a decoration in `pixtuoid`.

Read the cropped PNG → self-critique → back to step 1 ↓ 6. When happy, send to user with SendUserFile and short caption ↓ 7. cargo build --release --workspace ← rebuild the LIVE binary too ↓ 8. Commit with iteration history (which designs were tried, why rejected) ``` The user is the final judge of "does it look like a fridge / coffee machine / etc." — but you shou...
