Open competitors-kb/proven-winners/parallel/food-italian/cropped/saucetown-co__r06__tomato-cluster.jpg. Your tomato plan calls that image "literally a tomato grid"; it is one vine with four tomatoes in two flat colors, no grid and no varietal names. Correct that sentence everywhere it was copied — miners/tomato/module-b-wescale-transplant.md lines 32 and 62, miners/tomato/concept-queue-2026-07-08.md lines 7, 21 and 45, and miners/tomato/render-prompts-top24-2026-07-08.md concept #1 — and swap the two ratings in module B's table: candidate #1 ("Heirloom Tomato Varietals" specimen grid, now 🟢 bullseye) down, candidate #5 (the clean-typographic garden saying, now 🟡 with "use as connective flavor, not the engine") up to flagship. Then brief three of next week's designs as type-only using the four original lines module B already wrote at line 66 — "Homegrown Tastes Better," "Sun • Soil • Sugo," "Grow Your Own Sauce," "Vine to Table" — set in warm serif or script with no illustration. Those three skip the vectorizer.ai and fal.ai art pipeline entirely.
The flagship recommendation in IGL's tomato plan was derived from product titles, and opening the actual images shows the mechanism it names barely exists while the one it demoted is the largest pattern on the list.
Chapter 15 of Animal, Vegetable, Miracle describes a precise practice: the Kingsolvers did not write down "Zucche di Chioggia" and look it up when they got home. They took the physical seeds and spent the trip drying them. You carry the seed, not the label.
Module B of the tomato miner carried labels. It read Sauce Town's bestseller titles — Tomato Cluster, Pasta Shapes, Olives, 9 Tomatoes, Strawberry Grid — and concluded the winning mechanism was "the specimen / produce GRID… a tiled panel of the same object rendered as vintage botanical specimens," rated it 🟢 bullseye and "the single closest structural match to IGL's proven seed-packet botanical craft." It rated the plain-typography mechanism 🟡 and told IGL not to make it the engine.
Opening all 24 unique designs in Sauce Town's captured top 25 inverts that ranking. Multi-item specimen layouts: three (Pasta Shapes, Coffee Makers, Oyster Club). Pure typography with zero illustration: eight — French 75, Needs Salt, Negroni, Pistachios, Fromage, Al Dente, Yes Chef, Cereal & Cartoons. One third of the bestseller list of the cohort member with the highest revenue per design is words alone. Two of the five designs cited as proof of the grid mechanism were never downloaded and cannot be checked from these shelves at all; of the three that can, one is a grid.
No single shelf could produce this. The practice of carrying the seed rather than the name is Kingsolver's; the images and the misreading both live in competitors-kb; and the reason a zero-art design from this particular store is worth copying — Sauce Town earns the cohort's highest revenue per design — is in Erik Stefans' wescale-kb member profile. Nugget #033 established that titles cannot see a joke. This is the same failure on the same corpus, with a specific live plan, and two further plan files, built on top of it.
