Verdict

Keep the gallery useful by turning tested local Codex pets into repository-backed packages other operators can validate, preview, and install.
Codex-created pets -> local import test -> curated repo packages -> gallery docs and site previews
Scope completed
- Added Sam Altman, Elon Musk, and Jeff Bezos as downloadable custom pet packages under
docs/custom-pets/. - Preserved the Codex source metadata and real spritesheets for each package.
- Added per-pet READMEs with validation commands and public-figure-inspired attribution notes.
- Updated the gallery index and static site showcase so the public docs match the shipped package set.
- Bumped package metadata from
0.6.1to0.6.2for the gallery expansion release.
