Fresh official metadata and 13,327-byte script retrieved. SHA256 05132785b8defb374e43d6384d27ff2d4e1d329ba3b37c2b9369d29c0f43fc67. Primary metadata identifies Devi Parikh alone; dossier assignment includes collaborator links which require correction rather than inference. No visual or complete code inspection claimed yet.

## Complete indexed source review
Full 13,327-byte source read. Token hash byte mapping determines grid density among 15 choices 4..60, curvature, line thickness, palette and subset, void selection, outlines and background motif. Two four-word PRNG streams from hash halves warmed 500,000 draws each and alternated. p5 noLoop static draw. Quadratic diagonal segments form raster boundaries; alpha pixels passed to embedded connected-component labelling (eight-neighbour contour tracing, border sentinel). Region sizes and centroids drive colour assignment via 11x11 random palette template. Largest regions can become background voids. Background motifs drawn first; connected regions then coloured by direct pixel writes; saved curves redrawn as dark or double outlines. Output aims 2400 backing pixels for viewport <=2400 through pixelDensity ratio. Includes credit URL for bramp Connected-component-labelling Apache2.0. No audio or interactive handlers identified. No runtime output inspected yet.

Attribution conflict: indexed artist_name is Devi Parikh, but current official collection UI displays Devi Parikh and Abhishek Das and two artist cards. Preserve indexed credit in canonical identity pending original artist account; do not silently infer sole or collaborative authorship from UI alone. Official collection gives 7 January 2022 release. stateoftheheart.ai fetch through web tool failed.

Five original renders viewed and recorded. All three AB5D linked wallets checked; #150 owner matches. Primary deviparikh.com/cushions page supports sole project attribution and distinguishes Abhishek Das webpage-design credit. Full construction draft and conception draft saved; other sections pending.

Completed original essay from source review and five original observations. Broad rendering equivalence and historical sale reconstruction remain open. No imported contributor prose used.
