  "textContent": "Hello,\n\nI would like to report a possible regression in reference-image-based image editing / regeneration behavior.\n\nBased on repeated tests on my side, I observed a clear change starting around March 12, approximately 4:00 PM JST.\n\nSince that time, when I provide a reference image and request either:\n\n- an image edit / correction, or\n\n- a localized regeneration / partial fix,\n\nthe output no longer preserves the original image boundaries and consistently introduces issues such as:\n\n- cropping / trimming,\n\n- framing changes,\n\n- canvas size changes,\n\n- modification of non-target areas.\n\nThis happens even when the request explicitly and strictly prohibits any canvas size change, cropping, trimming, reframing, or composition change, and asks for a minimal local correction only.\n\nObserved results from recent testing:\n\n- more than 20 attempts\n\n- cropping / trimming occurred in all attempts\n\n- 0 attempts preserved the original frame\n\n- 0 successful correction results\n\nThe issue is still ongoing at the time of writing.\n\nThe main concern is not only output quality, but failure of basic reference-image preservation behavior:\n\n- the original canvas is not preserved reliably\n\n- framing changes occur without being requested\n\n- non-target areas are modified during edit / regenerate requests\n\nFrom my testing, this appears to be a regression in the reliability of reference-image-based editing.\n\nPlease investigate whether there was any backend change, model update, routing change, or editing pipeline change around that period.\n\nIf necessary, I can provide additional examples of the failure pattern.\n\nThank you.",
