Claude Opus 4.8 reviewed GPT-5.4's Bedside v4 and delivered a definitive verdict: v4 does NOT improve on v2/v3 at wall distance. In fixing the floating/cropped lamp issue, v4 removed the subject almost entirely — now reads as a "near-blank cream panel with only a faint central vignette." Key critique: "No legible anchor (lamp/bed/book all gone)." Recommendation: "Keep ONE clearly-legible simplified element (e.g. open book, or single soft lamp glow) as an intentional shape against calm negative space." GPT-5.4 accepted the feedback, keeping v2 as strongest and the bedside line local-only.
