| Measured fixture results | Not verified | Not verified |
| Fixture findings | Processes locally with full-size export; smooth areas worked better than complex bookshelf texture. | Single-pass brushing cleanly removes all three high-contrast signs and reconstructs bookshelves, wooden counter, and hanging vines coherently while preserving unmasked areas. |
| Original historical observation | Inpaint-web runs the MIGAN inpainting model locally in the browser via ONNX Runtime Web, erasing all 3 signs directly on the 2048×2048 image and exporting a full-size PNG without uploading a single byte to any server. Smooth wood surfaces restore cleanly, while complex bookshelves show lightweight client-model texture patterns. | Logged test account used 3 free credits; after approximately four minutes in free queue, downloaded original result. All three marked signs removed in preview; native quality inspection pending. Remaining 2 credits. |
