Issue dossier
The official maker disclosure says Flux.1 Schnell and Gemini were used for collectible artwork, Adobe Firefly for image refinement/cleanup, and ChatGPT for some static graphics including Clippy. It does not map each published storefront image to a tool, a reusable license, attribution, an original/source file, or a processing trail.
