# Prepare Image Production Assets

Establish what can actually be produced before building or dispatching a queue.

Run:

`python scripts/audit_assets.py --queue <queue.json> --output <asset-audit.json>`

Check:

- every job has a unique ID and target;
- every required reference exists and is a file;
- every job contains an exact final prompt;
- group and variation identities are present when diversity control depends on them;
- duplicated references are intentional rather than accidental;
- incomplete evidence is blocked instead of being completed by guesswork.

Output ready and blocked records with reasons. Do not generate images, mutate the queue, or claim visual quality.
