Worth knowing
Worth saying plainly: an AI cannot reliably remove a head covering, and in our own testing it kept one in every attempt — including when the prompt demanded removal. So for the documents marked "not allowed" above, a photo of someone wearing one will come back wearing one, and be refused. Every other document on this site accepts one.
