Image Generation Tools Module
Provides image generation via FAL.ai. Multiple FAL models are supported and
selectable via ``hermes tools`` → Image Generation; the active model is
persisted to ``image_gen.model`` in ``config.yaml``.
Architecture:
- ``FAL_MODELS`` is a catalog of supported models with per-model metadata
(size-style family, defaults, ``supports`` whitelist, upscaler flag).
- ``_build_fal_payload()`` translates the agent's unified inputs (prompt +
aspect_ratio) into the model-specific payload and filters to the
``supports`` whitelist so models never receive rejected keys.
- Upscaling via FAL's Clarity Upscaler is gated per-model via the ``upscale``
flag — OFF by default for every model. Clarity is an SD1.5 creative
tile-diffusion enhancer (creativity 0.35 redraws content); chained by
default it mangled GPT Image 2 / Ideogram text rendering, CJK, and faces
(Aug 2026 quality regression). Upscaling is strictly per-call opt-in.
Pricing shown in UI strings is as-of the initial commit; we accept drift and
update when it's noticed.

#
# Each entry declares how to translate our unified inputs into the model's
# native payload shape. Size specification falls into three families:
#
# "image_size_preset" — preset enum ("square_hd", "landscape_16_9", ...)
# used by the flux family, z-image, qwen, recraft,
# ideogram.
# "aspect_ratio" — aspect ratio enum ("16:9", "1:1", ...) used by
# nano-banana (Gemini).
# "gpt_literal" — literal dimension strings ("1024x1024", etc.)
# used by gpt-image-1.5.
#
# ``supports`` is a whitelist of keys allowed in the outgoing payload — any
# key outside this set is stripped before submission so models never receive
# rejected parameters (each FAL model rejects unknown keys differently).
#
# ``upscale`` controls whether to chain Clarity Upscaler after generation.
# Policy (Aug 2026): False everywhere — the default-on experiment degraded
# output quality (Clarity redraws content). Opt-in per call only.
