Style Presets
--preset X expands to a type + style + optional palette combination. Users can override any dimension.
Default Preset
When content analysis surfaces no strong signal (generic knowledge article, mixed-topic post, no clear data/comparison/narrative cue), recommend hand-drawn-edu as the primary option in Step 3 Q1. It is the warm, friendly educational-infographic default — safe for most articles and universally readable.
