Failure gates

Any of these kills the cut.

Blank / wrong cans — never generate cans from scratch; always composite brand-locked packshots (Smile wordmark, correct flavor art, 7% ABV only).
Steam on can — never prompt steam, vapor, fog, or “cold air rising” off RTD cans.
Wrong SKU / copy — use real names: Pineapple Orange Vodka Soda, Spicy Vodka Mule. No 5–6.5% ABV.
Too short / silent — no 6s silent product flashes.
DTC — no Shop, ATC, online checkout. CTA = Find Near You / Get Directions only.
