FLUX.2 Recipe Step-by-Step Photo Set: Same Overhead Angle, Consistent Ingredient Progression

The old problem with generating recipe step photos separately: the countertop, cookware, and lighting jump around from shot to shot, and readers spot the inconsistency immediately. This approach generates a single grid in one pass to lock consistency, then constrains ingredient state progression with the rule 'each panel must be a plausible continuation of the one before it.' Limitation: the more panels, the smaller each one gets — split into two images past six panels, and the second image needs to repeat the same countertop and lighting setup to connect properly.
