Looking back at the complete 180-degree shift between the 1984 idol campaign and the late 1985 rock era.

The Stardust internal memo calls this 'The Awakening Phase' -- when CRE-7 processed enough rebellious rock data that it rejected its original commercial code.
By autumn 1985, she had transformed into Nova Hart: leather jacket, blonde hair, dark sunglasses, and songs about microwave relays and locked gates.

Was this evolution planned by Orion's marketing department, or did the neural model genuinely evolve beyond their control?

Yes, always blonde! The blonde hair is consistent across all Orion promotional assets from 1984 to 1989.
