/// A composition built once per variation: the palette, the scatter, the sizes,
/// and the solid-or-outline mix are all drawn from the sketch's seeded
/// randomness in `setup()`, so every seed is a different piece and the same
/// seed is always the same piece. The caption shows the `variation` the run
/// grew from. Explore the seed space from the inspector's Variation card
/// (step, randomize, or jump), proof a whole range with
/// `--export-grid sheet.png --seeds 25`, then re-render a keeper at full
/// resolution with `--export out.png --seed N`.
