Professional-grade universal template for multi-panel comic storyboard creation

STRICT ADHERENCE REQUIRED: - Follow this YAML specification precisely. Do NOT deviate, add unauthorized elements, or make “creative” interpretations. - Character identity consistency with the reference images (if provided) is PARAMOUNT. - Thorough image analysis is mandatory to maintain this consistency. Any result that fails character identity checks is unacceptable.
