+    Head geometry is the "flare" revision: the first cut had a flat crown
+    between wide ear tufts and a square jaw, which read horned-owl. Now the
+    ears stand tall over a domed skull, the cheeks taper to a rounded chin
+    (owl faces stay wide all the way down), and the whiskers spring OUTWARD
+    from the cheek line into the corners the taper frees up — outside the
+    face so they never crowd the prompt. Whiskers are drawn at 3.5 against
+    the face's 5 so they read as hair, not bone.
