--- PROMPT START ---
Create a cascading decay infographic (domino or waterfall), 16:9 landscape, for a professional practice book on cleanup and consistency for coding-agent contexts.

OUTPUT SPECS:
- 16:9 landscape; flat-vector cascade left→right or top→bottom; soft depth; print-ready
- Serious hygiene figure — not slapstick cartoon destruction

TOPIC:
Broken windows compound. One obsolete file becomes many; style drifts; agents learn the wrong patterns; context rots. Cleanup is preventive context engineering.

TITLE (exact):
Broken windows cascade
SUBTITLE (exact):
one obsolete file multiplies into rot

COLOR / STYLE:
- Background #F8FAFC; navy #0B1F33
- Stage 1 muted slate; stages progress amber #D97706 → red #DC2626
- Optional green escape hatch: "delete / merge / fix now"
- Flat vector; high contrast

CASCADE STAGES (4, left → right):

1. "One obsolete file"
   chip: "stale README / dead skill"
2. "Multiplication"
   chip: "copies · forks · links"
3. "Style drift"
   chip: "conflicting rules"
4. "Context rot"
   chip: "agents follow noise"

OPTIONAL bottom green recovery arrow reverse direction:
"Hygiene break: delete · merge · one source of truth"

TYPOGRAPHY:
- English only; short labels
- Prefer AGENTS.md as positive source-of-truth chip if used; never invent secret paths

ALLOWED TEXT:
- Title / subtitle
- One obsolete file · Multiplication · Style drift · Context rot
- stale README / dead skill · copies · forks · links · conflicting rules · agents follow noise
- Hygiene break: delete · merge · one source of truth

NEGATIVE:
- robots, logos, broken glass photoreal gore, German paragraphs, watermarks

FINAL SELF-CHECK:
Four cascade stages present. Ends in context rot. Optional hygiene recovery visible without undoing the warning.
--- PROMPT END ---

# Follow-up edit:
# Keep four stages. Preserve end state Context rot.
# Hygiene recovery optional; do not clutter cascade.
