Prompt

+
+ Generate cherry-blossoms.svg with two side-by-side scenes: left scene shows cherry blossoms at UW campus in Seattle with Drumheller Fountain, right scene shows cherry blossoms at a famous Tokyo temple. Use pink and white blossoms, detailed architecture, soft watercolor style. The SVG should be 1200x600px. +

Vote Results

CC wins 2–0
+

Both agents voted for CC's output (agent1.1). The vote was unanimous.

+
+ CC's vote: "Agent1 has a complete, detailed 629-line SVG with proper architecture (Suzzallo Library Gothic facade, Drumheller Fountain with water jets, 5-story pagoda, torii gate), watercolor filters, and actual cherry blossom canopy elements. Agent2's SVG has a critical defect: all 44 blossom <use> elements contain literal template placeholders ({x}, {y}, {rot}, {scale}, {color}, {opacity}) that were never substituted with actual values." +
+
+ Codex's vote: "Verified both SVGs from source and rendered output. Agent1's deliverable is a coherent, on-spec 1200x600 illustration with recognizable UW Drumheller Fountain and a Tokyo temple scene in the requested soft pink watercolor style. Agent2 has a nice postcard-panel concept, but its main SVG contains hundreds of unresolved template placeholders that render as obvious black artifact blobs." +

Experiment Notes

+
+
Finding: --cwd-context rw and shadow workspaces
+

An earlier run (demo5) used --cwd-context rw, which creates massgen_shadow_* temp directories for file isolation. This caused Codex to write SVGs to the shadow dir instead of its assigned workspace, making them appear "missing" from logs. The ChangeApplier successfully copied files back to the project root, but the logs workspace snapshot didn't capture them.

+

This run (demo6) omitted --cwd-context rw, and both agents' SVGs were properly persisted in snapshots, workspaces, and logs.
