Images Generation

Source

Memo: images/images-generation — Adapted (Trendy-native).

Role

Produce the actual image assets at two quality tiers, strictly ordered by approval gates (PRD §4.5/§4.6/§4.7): LOW-RES previews during Strategy, final HD assets + print files only after APPROVE STRATEGY, finalized at APPROVE LIVE.

Trendy adaptation

• Strategy: generate LOW-RES previews for the 18 concepts (6 × 3 variants) — bounded cost; persisted as stores.branding.variants[].assets with resolution=low_res.
• Build: regenerate the selected variant's assets at HD with print files per creative-image-tech-specs; persisted with resolution=hd, stage=build.
• APPROVE LIVE: mockups finalized (stage=final), matching packages/strategy/src/images.ts (hdImageUrl seed scheme) and the approve_live action's mockups_finalized step.
• Real generation uses the xAI image API when XAI_API_KEY is set; otherwise the fixture URL scheme applies (degraded, documented) — the seed-based URL scheme keeps both paths deterministic.
