An actor states quality-limiting factors, a frozen diffusion editor edits the image conditioned on that reasoning, a frozen judge scores the quality change, and that change rewards only the reasoning tokens while human ratings reward only t Filed by the drafting stage from MR-IQA-2: Faithful Image Quality Reflection via Fine-Grained Credit Assignment (2608.18579) with status proposed: the paper introduces or tests it, and the claim drafted from the paper is its first evidence. The paper validated it by: Mean judge-scored quality gain from reasoning-guided edits on a 5,866-image subset: +0.789 for the trained actor vs +0.213 for Q-Insight and -0.137 for the untrained backbone, holding under a swapped editor (Mage-Flow) and two swapped judges including GPT-5.6 Sol (81.4% 3AFC win rate); rating alignment stays comparable to prior methods..

Efficacy claims — what this technique actually moves, under which conditions, and whether that has been contested.
No efficacy claim filed yet. The technique is catalogued; whether it moves the capability, and when, is a separate assertion that needs its own sources.
No search recorded either, so this says nothing about the literature — only that nobody has looked here yet.

Whether a technique works is a claim. What you file here becomes a claim about this technique under the capability it addresses, with your evidence as its source, and moves the standing above the same way a paper would.
