IDENTITY LOCK: Use the uploaded photo as the sole identity reference. Preserve the subject's facial structure, skin tone, eye shape, hairstyle, and every distinguishing feature exactly — the person must remain instantly recognizable. No beautification, no face reshaping, no expression change unless stated. SCENE: The subject painted as a full-figure portrait in the margin of a medieval illuminated manuscript, surrounded by gold-leaf vine borders, a Latin-style text block beside them (unreadable pseudo-script), their modern outfit translated into period robes of the same colors. LIGHT: Flat manuscript illumination convention — no cast shadows, gold leaf catching a raking 4000K archival lamp with real metallic sparkle. CAMERA: Overhead archival reproduction shot, vellum texture and ink bleed visible, page edge and stitching in frame. RULES: Face rendered in period tempera style yet clearly recognizable; one tiny marginalia snail near their feet.
