Notes

• Request uses POST /api/v1/chat/completions with modalities: ["image","text"].
• Images are returned as base64 data URLs in the assistant message; the script decodes and writes to disk.
• For edits/inpainting, include messages with both text and image-URL content parts — the script currently supports text-only prompts.
