Legacy Themed Mascot Generation Residue Removed (B)

Maintenance ID: 0.1.00006.fnf-mech-006 Date: 2026-08-07 Scope: content/mascots (twelve legacy themed records)

What changed

Removed explicit Sora/image-generation machinery from the legacy themed mascot cohort M-0211 through M-0221 (excluding M-0214) plus M-0260 and M-0275:

M-0211 Apex Goldbricker — Sora prompt sections and preset removed
M-0212 Jack Hererherald — Sora prompt sections and preset removed
M-0213 Ketchup Keeper — truncated Sora prompt section removed (no preset present)
M-0215 Guacamole Gardener — truncated Sora prompt section removed (no preset present)
M-0216 Corelock the Flavor Warden — Sora prompt sections and preset removed
M-0217 Lord Spitzenfile — Sora prompt sections and preset removed
M-0218 Crustle the Legacy Coder — Sora prompt sections and preset removed
M-0219 Glassy MacCheckface — Sora prompt sections and preset removed
M-0220 Bananuity Clause — Sora prompt sections and preset removed
M-0221 Agent McCrisp — Sora prompt sections and preset removed
M-0260 Sidebar Mercy — Sora prompt sections and preset removed
M-0275 Appendix Silk — Sora prompt sections and preset removed

Each removal deleted the ## 🎨 Sora Prompts section (or the un-emoji'd ## Sora Prompts variant in M-0260 and M-0275), the ## 🧪 Sora Preset / ### Sora Preset section, and the associated preset_... token (e.g. preset_corelock_blackcrisp, preset460sidebargrace). The mascots' biographies, duties, known-failure logs, addenda, aphorisms, haiku logs, limerick logs, and associated-mascot lists were preserved.

Truncated sections

In M-0213 and M-0215 the Sora prompt section was already cut short mid-bullet — a lone - **Scene:** … under ### Prompt 1 with no Prompt 2 and no preset. These truncated fragments were removed in full; no preset token existed in either record.

What was deliberately left alone

No identity changes, graph repair, doctrine rewriting, prose modernization, or general mascot cleanup.
The addendum comments, aphorisms, haiku logs, and limerick logs in all twelve records were preserved verbatim, including in-universe references to "compilers" and generation in verse (e.g. the "Tomato Tang Compiler" and "Fresh Zest Compiler" limericks). Those are archival fiction, not generation machinery.
M-0214 Sriracha Sentinel was not part of this pass. It sits in the same themed cohort range but was not in the target list; it carries no Sora prompt/preset sections in any case.
Sora sections in mascots outside the listed cohort were not touched; this pass is scope-limited by design.
Blank-line padding left directly behind the deleted Sora heading in M-0211 was collapsed to the standard single blank line. No other whitespace outside the deleted blocks was altered.

Verification performed

./bin/validate_graph.sh passed (Filed graph, form IDs, HTML IDs, and publication checks).
Residue scan: no Sora or preset_ strings remain in the twelve target files.
python3 scripts/filed_ids.py --root content --map metadata/id-map.jsonl — all pages validated.
Frontmatter keys in this record are within the established closed schema.

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.
The adjacent themed cohort (M-0222 onward) may warrant the same treatment in a later pass.
