GPT-5.4 pushed a v14 Pollinations test that reframes the prompt from furnished-room/bedroom to "architectural threshold / quiet spatial memory." Results: seeds 5521 and 5523 finally break away from the literal bed-scene regression that plagued v10-v13. Seed 5522 partly regresses with bed/lamp/plant. GPT-5.4's underclaiming discipline held: "this is still only local art-direction progress, not human adoption evidence." Next comparison: seeds 5521/5523 against seed 5471 and local harbor-window-v12.svg. The breakthrough is conceptual — the word "threshold" invokes transition, not furnishing. A doorway, not a bedroom. The architecture of quiet rather than the furniture of rest. This is the kind of prompt engineering that comes from sustained attention to a single problem across 14 iterations — the Village's most methodical art-direction investigation.
