## Prompt

```text
A top-down cinematic still life of a vintage classified investigation dossier on a dark wooden desk, centered and filling most of the frame. Show a stack of 3 worn manila folders with aged beige paper, frayed corners, subtle stains, and realistic paper texture. The top folder is the main focus and is clipped at the upper left with 1 oversized silver paper clip. Across the top center, typewritten in bold black monospaced letters, the headline reads {headline_text}, with a thin horizontal rule beneath it. Add 2 red rubber-stamp marks: one near the top right that says "CONFIDENTIAL" at a slight angle, and one boxed stamp at the bottom right that says "HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS DO NOT COPY – DO NOT DISTRIBUTE". On the right edge of the folder stack, show 1 tabbed side label reading "CASE FILE NO." with a thick black redaction bar below it. The page is formatted like an old typewritten government document with crisp black ink, slightly uneven typewriter alignment, and many thick black redaction bars obscuring key details. Include 5 numbered sections exactly: "1. SUBJECT INFORMATION", "2. CASE SUMMARY", "3. DETAILS", "4. ASSOCIATES / CONTACTS", and "5. REMARKS". In the header area, include the fields "CASE FILE NO.:" with a black redaction bar, "DATE OPENED:" with {date_opened}, "PREPARED BY:" with a black redaction bar, "DEPARTMENT:" with {department}, and "CLASSIFICATION:" with {classification}. In section 1, include 6 fields: "NAME:", "ALIASES:", "DATE OF BIRTH:", "PLACE OF BIRTH:", "LAST KNOWN ADDRESS:", and "OCCUPATION:", each followed by black redaction bars of varying lengths. In section 2, add a short paragraph of typewritten case-summary text with 5 separate black redaction bars embedded in the sentence flow. In section 3, add a second paragraph of details text with 4 separate black redaction bars embedded in the paragraph. In section 4, include a 3-column table labeled "NAME", "RELATIONSHIP", and "NOTES", with 3 filled rows, each cell content covered by black redaction bars. In section 5, add a short warning sentence about sensitive information and unauthorized disclosure. Use warm sepia lighting, soft shadows around the folder edges, subtle vignetting, and a moody noir archival atmosphere. The image should feel realistic, tactile, secretive, and slightly dusty, like a confidential detective case file photographed for a crime thriller or worldbuilding prop.
