"""Milestone 388 E2: FC authors a post out of a Discord drop.

The one failure that would make this feature worse than nothing is
OVER-GROUPING — merging pieces that merely look alike into a post claiming
they belong together. Similarity alone does that: any two pieces of the same
character by the same artist sit close in SigLIP space. So the tests that
matter most here are the ones that prove the predicate REFUSES, and per rule
167 each is written so it would fail if the axis it guards were dropped.
