Leonardo image production

Operate Leonardo.Ai's official Production API for still images. Keep native Leonardo models, partner models hosted by Leonardo, realtime-canvas endpoints, and legacy endpoints visibly separate: they have different routes and schemas.

Collect or propose:

• Deliverable: subject, setting, style, composition, aspect/dimensions, output count, and acceptance criteria.
• Operation: text-to-image, image-to-image, reference guidance, masked edit, upscale, background removal, or custom training.
• Source media: local paths or Leonardo image IDs, whether each is uploaded or generated, and the intended role of each reference.
• Rights: ownership/licence, likeness consent, privacy classification, and whether public visibility is allowed.
• Runtime: direct REST, official Python SDK, or official TypeScript SDK.
• Spend: calculator estimate, hard budget, concurrency ceiling, and whether auto-top-up is disabled.

Default to a one-image private preview at a conservative dimension. Before any paid call, state the exact route, model/model ID, settings, sample count, calculator estimate, and why. Wait for explicit approval. Never silently change model, visibility, reference method, quality mode, or sample-to-batch scope.
