Image Generation

Use When

• The desired final asset is an image or image batch.
• The request may include text prompts, uploaded images, previous outputs, product URLs, research handoffs, product images, persona images, banners, thumbnails, storyboard panels, or batch variants.
• The next decision is task class, model/reference policy, and runner handoff.

Do Not Use When

• The final asset is video, audio, subtitles, transcripts, or an edit plan.
• The image request is already normalized and ready to execute. Use image-batch-runner.
• The user needs hook decoding or reference boundaries first. Use reference-decode or reference-contract-builder.

Core Boundary

This is the image generation controller. It does not submit jobs.
