Add provider-flexible image API path and dedupe visual cue compiles.

Ship image-gen.mjs with bfl and gemini backends plus custom delegation, document the keyless flow in image-api.md, and tighten seed Step 4 so missing keys ask once and opt-out falls back to text-only seeding. Compile now removes in-folder hero intermediates so each cue keeps one PNG.

Interview answers are words; a palette is easier picked by eye. Before writing the seed, branch on capability:

This branch wins even when `.impeccable/.env` already holds an `IMAGE_GEN_API_KEY` or an earlier run in another harness left a wrapper script behind; those are fallbacks for keyless harnesses, not the preferred path.

Add one, or skip straight to the seed?"* If a key arrives, write it to `.impeccable/.env`, confirm that file is listed in the project's `.gitignore` (add it if missing; a committed key is a leak), and ask which provider it belongs to so you call the right API. Wrap the API in a small script (e.g. `.impeccable/image-gen.mjs`) that takes a prompt, an output path, and an optional reference image, and build it to survive the pipeline: send request bodies from a temp file, never as a command-line argument, because a base64 reference image overflows argv and kills the call; retry transient network errors internally, up to three attempts with a short backoff, so a blip costs the script seconds instead of costing a specialist its generation budget; print the output path on success and exit non-zero with the error text on failure.

- **No usable native path, key already in `.impeccable/.env`**: no pause, no questions. Load [image-api.md](image-api.md) and use its shipped wrapper; it pre-answers everything this path has ever stopped to ask, including which provider the key belongs to.

Confirm that file is listed in the project's `.gitignore` (add it if missing; a committed key is a leak), then load [image-api.md](image-api.md). Its shipped wrapper is the whole integration for the built-in providers; only a provider it does not know earns the project-local wrapper that file specifies.

When generation is available, **stop and load [visual-cues.md](visual-cues.md)** and follow its pipeline; it owns everything from the one-line user announcement and the persona palette studio through parallel or serial generation and `cues.json`. Do not restate its mechanics here or in chat. When its `cues.json` is written, tell the user the cues are ready and **end your turn**. The pick round is a separate later step; Steps 5-6 run after that pick, or immediately when the user opted out of generation.

# Image API Path (keyless harnesses)
Loaded when a pipeline needs image generation and the harness has **no usable native tool**. It answers, upfront, every question an agent has historically stopped to ask on this path; with a funded key in place, a run through this file asks the user nothing and debugs nothing.
**This file never overrides a working native tool.** A harness with native image generation skips this path entirely; the precedence rule lives where the path is picked ([visual-cues.md](visual-cues.md) Step 3, [document.md](document.md) seed Step 4), not here. One refinement to that rule: a native tool that **cannot generate** (zero credits, failed auth, disabled account) counts as absent. Fall through to this path silently and mention the swap in the final report; do not stop to ask which path to use. A stopped question costs hours when the user is away; the swap costs nothing.
## The setup, already answered
- **Key**: `IMAGE_GEN_API_KEY` in `.impeccable/.env` at the project root. The wrapper reads that file itself; never `source` it, never export the key by hand, never rename the variable. Never delete or truncate that file either, cleanup included: it is the user's stored credential, not run output, and a wiped key turns the next run's silent keyless path into a stalled question.
- **Provider**: `IMAGE_GEN_PROVIDER` in the same file: `bfl` (FLUX / Black Forest Labs) or `gemini` (Google Nano Banana), both built into the wrapper; any other value routes to a custom wrapper (below). Loose spellings from earlier runs (`flux`, `google`, `nano-banana`) normalize to the built-ins, and a missing provider line is inferred from the key's shape (Google keys start with `AIza`; anything else runs as `bfl`), so a misworded or absent line is never a reason to stop and ask.
- **Wrapper**: `{{scripts_path}}/image-gen.mjs`, shipped with the skill. Do **not** write a new wrapper for a built-in provider, edit this one, or fall back to raw `curl`/`fetch` calls; every known failure mode below is already handled inside it. Wrappers left by earlier runs under other names (`flux-gen.mjs`, project-local copies) are superseded by the shipped one.
- **No smoke test.** A funded key plus the shipped wrapper is a working path; the first real generation is the test, and the wrapper turns transient failures into internal retries rather than failed calls.
## The command
One command regardless of provider; the provider switch happens inside the wrapper, so calling pipelines never branch on it:
```text
node {{scripts_path}}/image-gen.mjs --prompt "..." --out /abs/path.png \
[--ref /abs/reference.png] [--width 1408] [--height 1408]
```
Run it from the project root (that is where it finds `.impeccable/.env`). It prints the absolute output path on success and exits non-zero with the error on stderr. `--ref` switches text-to-image to image-to-image where the provider supports it.
## Provider facts, so no one re-derives them
**bfl** (FLUX):
- **Models**: `flux-pro-1.1` text-to-image; with `--ref`, `flux-kontext-max` image-to-image (reference sent as base64, aspect ratio pinned 1:1).
- **Size**: BFL accepts 256-1440 px in multiples of 32. The default `1408x1408` is the largest clean square; passing `--width 1500` fails validation locally, before any credit is spent. Output is always square unless you pass unequal values.
- **Concurrency**: BFL allows 24 active tasks (`flux-kontext-max`: 6). A six-spawn wave fits both caps; do not throttle it.
- **Protocol**: submit returns a `polling_url`; the wrapper polls exactly that URL (the global endpoint requires it) and downloads the signed result URL immediately, inside its 10-minute expiry. None of this is the caller's concern.
**gemini** (Nano Banana):
- **Model**: `gemini-3.1-flash-image` by default; a `IMAGE_GEN_MODEL` line in `.impeccable/.env` overrides it, and the wrapper retries the `-preview` sibling once when Google's model naming drifts.
- **Size**: the wrapper pins aspect ratio 1:1, so output is always square; Gemini picks the pixel size for its tier (1024 by default) and ignores `--width`/`--height`. A 1024 square passes the pipelines' square gate as a "nearest supported square"; do not upscale it.
- **Protocol**: synchronous; one call returns the image inline, no polling. Moderation arrives as an imageless response, which the wrapper turns into a clear error, not as an HTTP failure.
**Any other provider**: the user names it, so the integration cannot be pre-shipped. Write `.impeccable/image-gen.mjs` implementing the same CLI (same flags, print the absolute output path on success, non-zero exit with the error on stderr, transient retries handled inside), set `IMAGE_GEN_PROVIDER` to the provider's name, and the shipped wrapper delegates to it automatically; calling pipelines keep using the shipped command unchanged. Build it from the provider's API docs, and give it square output; do **not** modify the shipped wrapper to add the provider inline.
## Failures and what they mean
The wrapper retries transient failures internally (DNS, network blips, 429 back-pressure, poll hiccups, expired-download re-fetches), so an error that reaches the caller is real and carries its own explanation:
- **"out of credits"** (bfl, HTTP 402): a human must top up at dashboard.bfl.ai. Report it and stop this path; retrying is pointless, and so is asking the user to choose an alternative that does not exist.
- **"quota or rate limit exhausted"** (gemini, HTTP 429 after the wrapper's own retries): the key's plan is out of headroom. Report it and stop this path; the fix is billing, not retries.
- **"rejected the key"** (either provider): the key in `.impeccable/.env` is wrong or revoked. Report it; do not mint debugging sessions around a dead key.
- **Moderation** ("Content Moderated" / "Request Moderated" / "Prompt was moderated"): the prompt tripped the provider's filter; rewording the prompt is the fix, within the caller's normal generation budget.
- **"cannot resolve"**: the wrapper already tried the system resolver, `dig`, Google, and Cloudflare. **Never debug DNS beyond this**: no `/etc/hosts` edits, no new resolvers, no rewriting the wrapper to use `fetch()` (sandboxed harnesses block the default resolver for these hosts; the wrapper pins IPs via `curl --resolve` for exactly that reason). Report the failure and let the parent decide.
Subagents on this path inherit the generation-failure budget from their own pipeline ([visual-cues.md](visual-cues.md)'s three-call budget, or the calling pipeline's equivalent); the wrapper's internal retries do not count against it, only whole failed invocations do.

## Step 3: The wave (parallel)
**Pick the generation path first.** The harness's native image-generation tool is the path whenever one exists; the `IMAGE_GEN_API_KEY` wrapper exists only for harnesses that have none. A key in `.impeccable/.env` or a wrapper script left by an earlier run in another harness does not outrank a native tool: check for the native tool first, and touch the wrapper only after confirming there is none.
**Pick the generation path first.** The harness's native image-generation tool is the path whenever one exists and works; a native tool that **cannot generate** (zero credits, failed auth) counts as absent: fall through without asking the user, and mention the swap in the final report. The keyless path is [image-api.md](image-api.md): its shipped wrapper and pre-answered setup are canonical, so a key in `.impeccable/.env` or a leftover project-local wrapper never outranks a working native tool, and never needs re-deriving when it is the path.
**Do not smoke-test the path.** Presence is the whole check: a tool the harness lists works, and the wrapper spec in [document.md](document.md) already retries transient failures internally, so a preflight generation buys nothing the first persona's report would not carry, and it costs a generation call and half a minute on every clean run. Instead, fill the brief file's tool slot with the exact call the spawns will make: the tool or wrapper command, the square-size parameter to pass, and where it writes output files (some native tools ignore directory paths and save to a fixed folder of their own; say so in the slot, so no specialist rediscovers it alone).

If the harness exposes any subagent/spawn tool (Task, spawn_agent, agents, or similar), parallel is **required**, not preferred: emit all six spawns as **one tool-call batch, a single message carrying six spawn calls**, one persona per subagent, each doing the full job (palette, concept, hero), and only then wait for the reports. Spawning one, waiting for its report, then spawning the next is a serial loop and a failure even though every spawn "used a subagent"; so is generating any image yourself while a subagent tool exists. The whole run must take only as long as the slowest single persona. Attach the harness's image-generation skill to each spawn when the harness expects that (Codex: the `imagegen` skill). (No subagent tool at all: Step 4.)
