Sixteen Faces, One Photobooth Expression Grid
A sixteen-panel grid like this renders fine on screen — print it as an actual photobooth strip and the halftone dots turn to mush.
✍️ Don't delete the quality_control field in this JSON — hands_priority and identity_lock are the hard gate keeping all sixteen faces from breaking and hands from warping. Rephrase all you want, just leave those key-value pairs untouched.
