 ## Details
 
-### 100. Put the reading of an image's title as its caption back to a reader panel, now that a writer panel reads a title as hover text.
+### 121. Decide whether an image's title stays its caption, in a goal in `README.md` or a decision in `docs/decisions.md`.
 
-Every reader reads `![a](u "t")` as an image captioned `t` (`docs/decisions.md` §An image reads as an
-image only alone in its paragraph, 3 of 3 on 2026-10-09). On 2026-10-11 a writer panel of the same
-audience kept the captioned image's `!adf:caption` directive, 3 of 3, reading a title as hover text.
+Seven readers read `![Moon over the hills](https://docs.example.com/images/moon-over-hills.jpg "The
+moon, at night")` alone in its paragraph: the bot, the LLM pipeline, a support agent and a product
+manager, some of them twice. Each wrote what it expected to see in Jira or Confluence, then picked
+the picture with the title printed under it, the picture alone, or neither. Two picked the caption,
+two the picture alone, and three neither, expecting the title as hover text. No output reached five
+of seven.
+
+ADF holds no node for hover text, so the caption is the only ADF place for the title's words. Goal 7
+says lossy conversion drops form, never content. The README's portable section defines content as
+what a reader sees or follows, which a hover title is not at rest. The goals do not say whether a
+title is content. Earlier entries of this class: §An image reads as an image only alone in its paragraph (the
+caption, 2026-10-09, 3 of 3); §A linked image is written `[![alt](url)](href)`, a captioned image as
+its directive (2026-10-11, 3 of 3, reading a title as hover text); and the title that drops inside
+another link, chosen by Goal 6 over Goal 7.
+
+Candidate entry: an image's title stays the caption of an image that stays an image, because ADF
+holds no hover text and the caption keeps the title's words. This image keeps "The moon, at night"
+as visible text under the picture.
+
+Blocks 73: the announcement waits for this answer, since the answer may change what the package
+writes for a titled image.
