## Prompt

```text
Goal: Create a vintage engineering blueprint poster for {software_release_name}, presented as an exploded mechanical engine assembly diagram that metaphorically documents a polished software release.

Canvas: Portrait technical drawing sheet, 4:5 aspect ratio, warm aged cream paper with subtle stains, worn edges, faint grid coordinates, thin black drafting border, and a title-block table along the bottom. Use monochrome ink linework with selective muted copper-orange highlights on a few mechanical parts and the logo/stamp.

Main illustration: Center the page on a detailed exploded isometric engine block assembly, drawn like a patent/automotive CAD manual. Show exactly 11 major visible mechanical groups: 1) top valve cover, 2) gasket plate beneath it, 3) main engine block with four cylinder bores, 4) crankshaft at the bottom, 5) four connecting caps beneath the block, 6) front circular pulley highlighted in copper-orange, 7) right-side gear highlighted in copper-orange, 8) right-side front cover plate, 9) upper-right small bracket/actuator highlighted in copper-orange, 10) scattered bolts/screws around the assembly, 11) dashed vertical and diagonal alignment/construction lines connecting the exploded components. Keep all linework precise, layered, and technically plausible.

Callouts and annotations: Include exactly 4 rectangular software-fix callout boxes with leader lines: 1) “resume” with small text “Fixes: improve session reliability and recovery.” 2) “worktree unlock” with small text “Fixes: resolve lingering locks and edge cases.” 3) “paste” with small text “Fixes: more consistent paste handling.” 4) “render” with small text “Fixes: polish UI rendering and visual details.” Add a handwritten note in the upper-left: “Focus on quality. Ship with confidence. Every detail matters.” followed by “Anthropic Engineering” and the date “2025-05-22”. Add lower-left handwritten note: “Tight tolerances, Looser bugs.” Add a lower-right notes checklist with exactly 4 checked items: “Stability”, “Reliability”, “Polish”, “Developer Happiness”. Add two small technical detail drawings: one circular dimension diagram in the lower-left with tiny dimension labels, and one sectional dimension diagram in the lower-right with tiny measurements.

Bottom title block: Make a large blueprint title panel spanning the bottom. On the left, include a circular orange Claude-like radial starburst logo above the words “CLAUDE ENGINEERING”, “SAN FRANCISCO, CA”, and “EST. 2024”. In the central project area, write a very large Chinese project title {main_chinese_title}, with the release name below it. Under “DESCRIPTION:” include exactly 3 short lines: “Mostly careful fixes and polish.” “Better reliability. Smoother experience.” “Built for everyday shipping.” On the right, include a standard engineering metadata table with: “DATE: 2025-05-22”, “DRAWN BY: Claude Engineering”, “CHECKED BY: Quality Bot”, “SHEET: 1 OF 1”, “SCALE: 1 : 4”, “UNITS: MM”. Along the bottom revision row include “REV. A”, “CHANGE DESCRIPTION Initial Release”, “APPROVED BY: Claude” with a signature, and a red-orange rubber stamp reading {status_stamp}.

Visual style: High-end retro technical illustration, fine black/brown ink, hatching, small dimension ticks, subtle perspective, realistic paper grain, faint coffee-ring stain in the top-right corner, no glossy modern UI styling. The image should feel like a carefully archived engineering release drawing, elegant, intentional, and slightly nostalgic.

Constraints: Preserve all listed text exactly where specified, keep the Chinese title prominent, avoid extra software names, avoid photorealistic rendering, avoid clutter outside the blueprint page, and make the mechanical diagram the visual focus.
