The user (plx, RunPod ComfyUI power user, plx9790@gmail.com) runs iterative workflow R&D.

**Why:** established over the Aug 2026 flux-redux project ([[flux-redux-experiment]]), where
this pattern produced excellent results and explicit praise.

**How to apply:**
- "Don't start yet / just tell me" is a hard stop — present analysis or a plan and wait for an
  explicit green light. They often think out loud between green lights.
- Research before fixing: when outputs look wrong, they want root-cause research (web agents +
  local diagnostics) before parameter fiddling.
- Prompts: they want individually handwritten, per-run prompts (target content + style
  aesthetic fused), not one generic boilerplate prompt.
- Versioned outputs: outputs_v2/v3/v4 folders per round, seed 777 for comparability, full r×t
  + ordered r×r matrices, audit saves (crops, depth maps), labeled comparison contact sheets.
- Everything durable goes to HF `aleph65/ComfyUI` (workflows/, wip/<project>/ for drafts,
  models/ mirror); workflows carry MarkdownNotes documenting models, knobs, and gotchas.
- Standardize on portrait 3:4 (896x1152 bucket, curated inputs at 1152x1536); no quantized
  checkpoints — bf16 unets + fp16 T5; maximum quality over speed.
- Adult-content glamour/swimwear generation is the use case; lawful, their own reference sets.
