Generate 2D Media

The route layer. It makes raw media; the owning skill plans the asset before and checks it after.

Use when

• Any Forge skill (or its pipeline script) needs a generated image, reference edit or image-to-video clip.
• Once per session, to see which routes work here (forge_doctor.py).
• The user asks to configure an API key, to use a particular route, or about spend.

Do not use when

• Planning, keying, registering or packaging: generate2dsprite, video2dsprite, generate2dmap.
• Code-drawn art the user asked for: codeart2d.
