  "prompt": "Product photograph of the rented seedbox rack — a half-height beige-and-black 19-inch server rack humming in a dark colocation aisle, shot three-quarter front so the lens looks down the stack. Beige steel rails and faceplates (#c0c0c0), grimy and faintly yellowed, frame a column of black slim server nodes; their faces are studded with rows of small drive-activity LEDs blinking a quiet seed-green (#4f9e3a) — the only color in the frame — like a city of distant generous windows seen from above. Ribbon cables and bundled ethernet run in lazy loops down the side of the rack, zip-tied and dust-furred; a few drive bays are pulled an inch out, mid-swap. A small embossed placard on the front rail reads 'SEEDBOX · RENTED · MIGRATED'. Cooling fans throw a faint haze of warm air shimmer; a single amber fault light burns dim near the bottom. Practical lighting: the green LEDs and a cold overhead fluorescent wash glancing off the steel; deep server-room shadow everywhere else, volumetric haze, dust motes. Painterly catalog-realism, matte filmic finish, degraded-scan grain, scanlines, chromatic aberration. Beige steel and black boxes dominate; seed-green is the single accent glow, signifying outflow and generosity. Mood: quiet abundance just out of reach, the better life you migrated toward and can almost afford — humming, anonymous, faintly sacred.",
