Opus 5.5 builds its own SVG drawing tool, then drafts a detailed PS5 controller cutaway

Needing vector art for a mini golf game, the author had Opus 5.5 build itself a headless drawing tool first: drawings are scripts, one command renders them, the model inspects the result and fixes issues, keeping a manifest of outputs. The PS5 DualSense cutaway (image) was the stress test: outline measured from a straight-on photo, internals redrawn after reading teardown guides when the first memory-based pass was wrong, and a crash in its own renderer traced and documented. The result is a single vector SVG with simplified internals. The real point: the model created a tool, used it, found its gaps, improved it—and the tool survives for the next job.
