+- [x] Hooded/winter portrait: `capture_realism.gd` now force-spawns the requested `--portrait-type`
+      when the role is event-driven (types 5–7 do not appear in the routine day crowd), so the
+      deferred close-up can be staged. Captured `--portrait-type=5` and vision-reviewed: the hood
+      reads as a hoodie (drawstrings + face opening) but is snug — no slack volume behind the
+      head/drape at the neck — and the face stays fully lit with no inner-rim shadow. Acceptable;
+      the snug hood is a minor scorecard note, not a P0/P1.
