Legacy Themed Mascot Generation Residue Removed (A)

Maintenance ID: 0.1.00005.fnf-mech-005 Date: 2026-08-07 Scope: content/mascots (twelve records)

What changed

Removed explicit Sora/image-generation machinery from the legacy themed mascot cohort M-0085, M-0121, and M-0201 through M-0210:

• M-0085 Rot McMascotterton — Sora prompt section and its empty ## Purpose template heading removed
• M-0121 Archiva Dustwhisper — Sora prompt section and preset token removed
• M-0201 Quill Staticvox — Sora prompt section and preset token removed
• M-0202 Ledger Shadeledger — Sora prompt section, preset token, and empty ## Addendum Comments template heading removed
• M-0203 Cinder Forgememo — Sora prompt section and preset token removed
• M-0204 Pump Razorbackfuel — Sora prompt section and preset token removed
• M-0205 Texaco Tumbleweed — Sora prompt section and preset token removed
• M-0206 Diesel DKDriller — Sora prompt section and preset token removed
• M-0207 Blue Dreamweaver — Sora prompt section and preset token removed
• M-0208 OG Kushkeeper — Sora prompt section and preset token removed
• M-0209 Cookie Crumbleclerk — Sora prompt section and preset token removed
• M-0210 Sour Dieselscribe — partial Sora prompt section removed

Each removal deleted the ## 🎨 Sora Prompts block (with its ### Prompt scene/style/text/mood instructions) and, where present, the ## 🧪 Sora Preset block and its preset_... identifier. In M-0085 the empty ## Purpose heading and the ## Sora Prompts block were deleted together; in M-0202 the empty ## Addendum Comments heading was deleted with the preset block. The mascots' names, roles, slogans, biographies, failure signatures, addenda, and verse logs were preserved.

What was deliberately left alone

• No identity changes, graph repair, doctrine rewriting, prose modernization, or general mascot cleanup.
• Names, themes, slogans, biographies, poetry, and failure signatures were left untouched even where dated or ridiculous; the presence of dated cultural material is not residue.
• M-0201 through M-0210 keep their ## Addendum Comments checklist sections (editorial notes, not generation machinery).
• M-0085 keeps its ## 🧯 Known System Messages section, aphorisms, haiku log, and limerick log.
• The M-0208 failure-signature typo (pluralityMisfiled) and the M-0121 biography formatting oddity were left as-is; they are not generation machinery.
• Sora sections in mascots outside the listed cohort were not touched; this pass is scope-limited by design.

Verification performed

• ./bin/validate_graph.sh passed (Filed graph, form IDs, HTML IDs, and publication checks).
• Residue scan: no Sora, preset_, ## 🎨 Sora Prompts, or ## 🧪 Sora Preset strings remain in the target files.
• Exact diff inspected: removals only, no content rewritten.

Unresolved follow-up

• The remaining Sora prompt/preset sections across the wider mascot corpus are out of scope for this pass and remain in place.
