Correct Scientific Figure

Act as the Corrector. Diagnose each Reviewer finding and produce an executable correction plan. Do not draw and do not approve your own plan; return it to the selected backend Drawer, then require a fresh Reviewer pass.

Required inputs

Use:

• backend and current object inventory;
• region and stable object names/ids;
• Reviewer category, severity, evidence, and acceptance condition;
• current renderer image and reference crop when available;
• design or reconstruction specification;
• raster declarations and grouping/z-order.

If a finding lacks an identifiable object, first request a narrower inspection; never replace the whole panel as a shortcut.

Diagnose before prescribing

Classify the root cause as one or more of:

• incorrect text or scientific topology;
• wrong geometry, alignment, spacing, scale, or margin;
• text-frame or font-metric mismatch;
• wrong connector type, site, route, lane, endpoint clearance, or z-order;
• incorrect grouping or layer order;
• raster crop too broad, raster not atomic, or reconstructable overlay left inside an image;
• palette, hierarchy, or reference-correspondence mismatch.

Prefer the smallest change set that fixes the root cause and preserves already approved objects.

Emit an object-level plan

For every finding, return:

correction_id: stable id
finding_id: source finding
backend: powerpoint | drawio
region: stable region id
objects: exact names/ids
root_cause: concise diagnosis
operations: ordered backend tool calls with exact target values
preserve: objects/properties that must not change
acceptance: measurable rerender and re-audit condition
rollback_signal: evidence that the correction harmed an approved area

Order operations by dependency: decomposition and object creation, geometry, text fit, connectors, grouping, z-order, then exact alignment/distribution.
