Prompt (verbatim — regenerate with this exact text)

Photoreal hard split-frame still, square 1:1 composition, one continuous video-call / desk scene divided left/right with a sharp vertical seam. LEFT HALF (interrogation / wrong-side chrome): cold blue-grey surveillance lighting; an anonymous composite adult face (not a celebrity, not a real public figure) frozen mid-hello on a video grid, slightly desaturated; beside or overlaid a generic silent notetaker badge and a plain bot-join strip with short generic labels only such as "NOTETAKER JOINED" and "REC" — no real vendor logos, no brand marks, no product UI tour, no company names; the mood is police-interview / under-surveillance energy, tense freeze. RIGHT HALF (invitation): warmer natural light; an anonymous different composite adult human face looking toward camera first (human presence first), then large oversized plain black sans-serif type on a clean light panel or card reading exactly one short question only: "Is everyone okay if I turn on the notetaker?" — high contrast, highly legible, invitation not essay. Documentary editorial photography, shallow depth of field, no QR codes, no signup forms, no dual key fobs, no matchboxes, no rate sheets, no hold slips, no trophies, no stamp walls, no sleeves. The visual contradiction is the subject: unannounced bot-join freeze smashed against the twelve-word human ask.

Scene contract (agent notes — not for the human front page)

• Must show: singular split still; left bot-join / mid-hello freeze + generic notetaker chrome (surveillance energy); right human presence first + oversized invite line Is everyone okay if I turn on the notetaker?
• Must be legible if present: the twelve-word invite question; short generic left labels only (NOTETAKER JOINED / REC) — no vendor brands
• Must not show: named experts, real vendor logos (Otter/Fathom/Granola/etc.), Dual Key fob/sleeve, matchbox, SUPERSEDED rate sheet, blank hold-slip + red pen, stamp wall, Zero-Person trophy, product screens as tour, QR/signup, Meta Platforms news collage, CNBC dunk collage
• Style: photoreal split editorial / call-still
• Regenerate? only if invite type is unreadable, left half becomes a named dunk or real logo wall, or banned prior-cycle objects appear as the hero
