+## Batch Generation Policy
+
+After every prompt file for the current generation group has been saved and verified, generate images in batches by default.
+
+Priority order:
+
+1. Use the chosen backend's native batch / multi-task interface if it exists. Each task must keep its own prompt file, output path, aspect ratio, session ID, and direct reference images.
+2. If no native batch interface exists but the runtime can issue parallel tool calls, dispatch up to `generation_batch_size` images at a time. Default: `4`. An explicit user request in the current message, such as `--batch-size 4` or "并行4张一起生成", overrides EXTEND.md.
+3. If neither native batch nor parallel tool calls are available, generate sequentially.
+
+Rules:
+
+- Honor the image-1 anchor chain: generate image 1 first, then batch images 2+ using image 1 as the reference.
+- Never start a batch until every selected prompt file for that batch exists on disk.
+- Retry failed items once without regenerating successful items.
+- Do not use subagents merely to parallelize image rendering. Use subagents only for separate prompt iteration or creative exploration.

 **Visual consistency — image-1 anchor chain**: character / mascot / color rendering drifts between calls unless you anchor them. Generate image 1 (cover) first WITHOUT `--ref`, then pass image 1 as `--ref` to every subsequent image.
