Iterative reference-conditioned image editing can introduce grid-like and granular textures, commonly described as digital ripple. We present Mi-Ripple, a diagnosis-guided restoration workflow that suppresses this digital ripple while protecting image structure. Mi-Ripple separates periodic lattice artifacts from content-entangled granular texture, then combines selective spectral notching, structure-aware smoothing, and cleaned-reference regeneration. This separation enables low-distortion filtering when artifacts are spectrally isolated and visual reconstruction when filtering would erase legitimate detail. Across fourteen notch-only executions, whole-image residual standard deviation is 0.08--0.44 in CIELAB lightness units. In a paired regeneration example, reference cleaning reduces output debris density by 45\%. Mi-Ripple links measurable artifact reduction to visibly cleaner generated images, rather than optimizing a spectral score alone.currentcurrentarXiv (Atom API + RSS)T1highdeterministic

Claims are temporal and append-only: a new observation closes the previous claim (valid_to) instead of overwriting it. Conflicting claims from different sources are kept side by side and flagged — never averaged. Methodology →
