+
+Team: CHARLIE
+Workflow: stacked feature workflow
+Base branch: PR_26179_CHARLIE_027-sprites-preview-export
+Canonical ZIP path for this batch: dev/workspace/zip/PR_26179_CHARLIE_028-sprites-editor-polish_delta.zip

+## Summary
+
+Polished Sprite Creator editor copy and status text. Removed stale wording such as "later editor slice" and improved manual validation clarity. Behavior is intentionally unchanged.
+
+## Product Owner Testable Outcome
+
+The Product Owner can open Sprite Creator and verify the editor communicates its current unsaved-draft behavior clearly while all existing editor interactions still work.
+

+2. Confirm the tools panel says "Choose a drawing action for the current unsaved sprite draft."
+3. Confirm the work area explains the sprite library save remains deferred to a future API-backed PR.
+4. Confirm Pencil/Eraser/Fill, palette, preview, and PNG export still work.
