--- PROMPT START ---
Create a horizontal timeline infographic with mandatory alignment gates, 16:9 landscape, for a professional practice book on coding-agent collaboration.

OUTPUT SPECS:
- 16:9 landscape; flat-vector timeline; soft depth; print-ready
- Clear left-to-right time flow

TOPIC:
Alignment gates prevent the most expensive failure: a correctly executed misunderstanding. Invest minutes before Execute; on mismatch, stop and correct.

TITLE (exact):
Alignment gates timeline
SUBTITLE (exact):
minutes now beat expensive rework

COLOR / STYLE:
- Background #F8FAFC; navy #0B1F33; teal #0D9488 timeline spine
- Gate nodes green #16A34A when required; amber #D97706 for teach-back conditional
- Red #DC2626 for mismatch stop / skip-cost side branch
- Flat vector; high contrast

MAIN TIMELINE (left → right, 5 stations):

1. "Explore summary"
   chip: "shared map"
2. "Plan approval"
   chip: "5 bullets"
3. "Teach-back"
   chip: "if multi-file / risk"
   amber optional marker
4. "Execute"
   only after gates 1–3
5. "Verify"
   chip: "DoD checks"

MISMATCH BRANCH under timeline between 2–4:
diamond or red fork "mismatch?"
→ "Stop + correct"
→ back arrow to Plan / Teach-back

SIDE PANEL (right or bottom, red/amber):
"Cost of skipping"
chips: "wrong path · wasted tokens · rework"

TYPOGRAPHY:
- English only; short labels
- "5 bullets" exact; no long plan text in the figure

ALLOWED TEXT:
- Title / subtitle
- Stations: Explore summary · Plan approval · Teach-back · Execute · Verify
- Chips: shared map · 5 bullets · if multi-file / risk · DoD checks
- Branch: mismatch? · Stop + correct
- Side: Cost of skipping · wrong path · wasted tokens · rework

NEGATIVE:
- robots, logos, neon, German paragraphs, fake chat transcripts with long prose

FINAL SELF-CHECK:
Execute comes after gates. Teach-back marked conditional. Skip-cost panel present. Mismatch stop path visible.
--- PROMPT END ---

# Follow-up edit:
# Keep 5 bullets on Plan approval. Preserve cost-of-skipping panel.
# Do not let Execute appear before Teach-back/Plan in the spine order.
