 - Reference: large painterly Graufurt gate artwork fills the map region,
   `background-size: cover`-style dominant visual, quiet areas reserved for
   path/nodes/panel.
-- Render: `.world-page__scene` uses the project's own generated
-  Südtor/Aschenstraße artwork (`/images/backgrounds/Suedtor.png` /
-  `Aschestrasse.png`), `background-size: cover`, same compositional role.
-  Visible and readable at all three captured sizes.

+- Render: `.world-page__scene` uses a single static, project-generated world
+  map background (`/images/backgrounds/map_ashen_realm.png`, upgraded to
+  `/images/backgrounds/runtime/map_ashen_realm-1440.jpg` via `image-set()`
+  where supported) for the whole map region, `background-size: cover`, same
+  compositional role as the reference's gate artwork. Per-location artwork
+  (`Suedtor.png` / `Aschestrasse.png`) is generated per the style guide too,
+  but is only used as the small thumbnail in the right "Gebietsinfo" panel
+  (`context-panel.component.html`), not as the map background.
+- Result: matches intent for dominance/crop/compositional role. The map
+  region itself does not switch per-location artwork the way the reference's
+  single-gate mock implies — a static world map plus a per-location panel
+  thumbnail is an established, deliberate choice from earlier tasks, not a
+  regression introduced here — left as a recorded deviation, not fixed.
