When the stack builder picks it
The builder reads each job's rules from the top and takes the first step whose conditions hold and whose plan fits the money left. Midjourney is named in these steps:
- AI images, step 2 of 4, when you asked for privacy: Basic ($10/mo); the step also names Leonardo.Ai, Ideogram and Krea, and the best score takes it.
- AI images, step 4 of 4, otherwise: Basic ($10/mo); the step also names Ideogram, Leonardo.Ai and Krea, and the best score takes it.
The rules are public in stack-rules.json, and how the stack builder scores explains the tie-break.
