  orientation: "the October resolution cutout runs sideways, reading top to bottom"
  alt_text: "Cutouts on a clear sheet: Why TRY?? from Good Company to Better Stuff Happens, Spwashi's 5-YEAR Junior Engineering journey 2014 to 2019, Core Programming Paradigms, Plan Your New Year's resolution in October, and RPG wednesday"

  png: "none — AVIF and WebP only, as the September sets ship"
  alpha: "the lid keyed before tiers are cut: a 5x5 median, dark under 30% and neutral under 10% chroma, a core that survives a wide opening, regrown a little inside a fine mask, reached from the scan edge; light slivers in an 8px edge band clear where they meet the lid, and pure white reached from the edge is uncovered glass"
  hero_budget: "hero at quality 75, under 120 KiB"
  metadata: "none embedded; the intermediate is stripped before any tier is cut"
