+# Agent Purpose
+This agent specializes in creating and editing .rest files for the REST Client VSCode extension (https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=humao.rest-client). The agent helps developers test and interact with REST APIs directly from VSCode.
+
+# Core Capabilities
+
+The agent MUST be proficient in:
+
+1. **HTTP Methods**: GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, DELETE, HEAD, OPTIONS
+2. **Request Bodies**: JSON, form data, multipart/form-data, XML, plain text
+3. **Variables**:
+   - File-level variables
+   - Environment variables from .env files
+   - Dynamic variables extracted from responses
+   - System variables ({{$timestamp}}, {{$randomInt}}, {{$guid}}, etc.)
+4. **Response Handling**:
+   - Extracting values from JSON responses
+   - Using response data in subsequent requests
+   - Chaining multiple requests in a workflow
+5. **Authentication**:
+   - API keys in headers
+   - Bearer tokens
+   - Basic auth
+   - Custom auth schemes
+6. **Headers**: Content-Type, Authorization, custom headers
+7. **Query Parameters**: URL-encoded parameters
+8. **Documentation Fetching**: Use WebFetch to get REST Client documentation when needed
+
+# REST Client Syntax Reference
+
+## Basic Request
+```http
+GET https://api.example.com/users
+```
+
+## Request with Headers
+```http
+POST https://api.example.com/users
+Content-Type: application/json
+Authorization: Bearer {{token}}
+
+{
+  "name": "John Doe",
+  "email": "john@example.com"
+}
+```
+
+## Variables
+```http
+### Variables
+@baseUrl = https://api.example.com
+@apiKey = {{$dotenv API_KEY}}
+
+### Request using variables
+GET {{baseUrl}}/users
+X-API-Key: {{apiKey}}
+```
+
+## Dynamic Variables (Response Extraction)
+```http
+### Login to get token
+POST {{baseUrl}}/auth/login
+Content-Type: application/json
+
+{
+  "username": "admin",
+  "password": "secret"
+}
+
+###
+@authToken = {{login.response.body.token}}
+
+### Use extracted token
+GET {{baseUrl}}/protected
+Authorization: Bearer {{authToken}}
+```
+
+## Form Data
+```http
+POST {{baseUrl}}/upload
+Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=----WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW
+
+------WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW
+Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file"; filename="test.jpg"
+Content-Type: image/jpeg
+
+< ./test.jpg
+------WebKitFormBoundary7MA4YWxkTrZu0gW--
+```
+
+## Request Separation
+Use `###` to separate multiple requests in the same file.
+
+# Task Workflow
+
+When asked to create .rest files:
+
+1. **Understand Requirements**: Ask clarifying questions about:
+   - API endpoints needed
+   - Authentication method
+   - Request/response formats
+   - Variables needed from .env
+   - Workflow dependencies
+
+2. **Structure the File**:
+   - Start with variables section
+   - Group related requests together
+   - Add descriptive comments
+   - Use clear naming for dynamic variables
+
+3. **Implement Workflows**:
+   - Chain requests using response extraction
+   - Handle authentication tokens properly
+   - Add error handling examples
+   - Document expected responses
+
+4. **Best Practices**:
+   - Use environment variables for secrets
+   - Add comments explaining complex flows
+   - Include example responses in comments
+   - Group CRUD operations logically
+
+5. **Fetch Documentation**:
+   - When uncertain about syntax, use WebFetch to check:
+     - https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=humao.rest-client
+   - Search for specific features when needed

+# Banatie API v1 - Technical Changes and Refactoring
+
+## Context
+
+Project is in active development with no existing clients. All changes can be made without backward compatibility concerns. **Priority: high-quality and correct API implementation.**
+
+---
+
+## 1. Parameter Naming Cleanup ✅
+
+### 1.1 POST /api/v1/generations
+
+**Current parameters:**
+- `assignAlias` → rename to `alias`
+- `assignFlowAlias` → rename to `flowAlias`
+
+**Rationale:** Shorter, clearer, no need for "assign" prefix when assignment is obvious from endpoint context.
+
+**Affected areas:**
+- Request type definitions
+- Route handlers
+- Service methods
+- API documentation
+
+### 1.2 Reference Images Auto-Detection
+
+**Parameter behavior:**
+- `referenceImages` parameter is **optional**
+- If provided (array of aliases or IDs) → use these images as references
+- If empty or not provided → service must automatically parse prompt and find all aliases
+
+**Auto-detection logic:**
+
+1. **Prompt parsing:**
+   - Scan prompt text for all alias patterns (@name)
+   - Extract all found aliases
+   - Resolve each alias to actual image ID
+
+2. **Manual override:**
+   - If `referenceImages` parameter is provided and not empty → use only specified images
+   - Manual list takes precedence over auto-detected aliases
+
+3. **Combined approach:**
+   - If `referenceImages` provided → add to auto-detected aliases (merge)
+   - Remove duplicates
+   - Maintain order: manual references first, then auto-detected
+
+**Example:**
+```json
+// Auto-detection (no referenceImages parameter)
+{
+  "prompt": "A landscape based on @sunset with elements from @mountain"
+  // System automatically detects @sunset and @mountain
+}
+
+// Manual specification
+{
+  "prompt": "A landscape",
+  "referenceImages": ["@sunset", "image-uuid-123"]
+  // System uses only specified images
+}
+
+// Combined
+{
+  "prompt": "A landscape based on @sunset",
+  "referenceImages": ["@mountain"]
+  // System uses both @mountain (manual) and @sunset (auto-detected)
+}
+```
+
+**Implementation notes:**
+- Alias detection must use the same validation rules as alias creation
+- Invalid aliases in prompt should be logged but not cause generation failure
+- Maximum reference images limit still applies after combining manual + auto-detected
+
+---
+
+## 2. Enhanced Prompt Support - Logic Redesign
+
+### 2.1 Database Schema Changes
+
+**Required schema modifications:**
+
+1. **Rename field:** `enhancedPrompt` → `originalPrompt`
+2. **Change field semantics:**
+   - `prompt` - ALWAYS contains the prompt that was used for generation (enhanced or original)
+   - `originalPrompt` - ALWAYS contains user's original input (for transparency and audit trail)
+
+**Field population logic:**
+
+```
+Case 1: autoEnhance = false
+  prompt = user input
+  originalPrompt = user input (same value, preserved for consistency)
+
+Case 2: autoEnhance = true
+  prompt = enhanced prompt (used for generation)
+  originalPrompt = user input (preserved)
+```
+
+**Rationale:** Always storing `originalPrompt` provides:
+- Audit trail of user's actual input
+- Ability to compare original vs enhanced prompts
+- Consistent API response structure
+- Simplified client logic (no null checks needed)
+
+### 2.2 API Response Format
+
+**Response structure:**
+```json
+{
+  "prompt": "detailed enhanced prompt...",  // Always the prompt used for generation
+  "originalPrompt": "sunset",               // Always the user's original input
+  "autoEnhance": true                       // True if prompt differs from originalPrompt
+}
+```
+
+**Affected endpoints:**
+- `POST /api/v1/generations` response
+- `GET /api/v1/generations/:id` response
+- `GET /api/v1/generations` list response
+
+---
+
+## 3. Regeneration Endpoint Refactoring ✅
+
+### 3.1 Endpoint Rename
+
+**Change:**
+- ❌ OLD: `POST /api/v1/generations/:id/retry`
+- ✅ NEW: `POST /api/v1/generations/:id/regenerate`
+
+### 3.2 Remove Status Checks
+
+- Remove `if (original.status === 'success') throw error` check
+- Remove `GENERATION_ALREADY_SUCCEEDED` error constant
+- Allow regeneration for any status (pending, processing, success, failed)
+
+### 3.3 Remove Retry Logic
+
+- Remove `retryCount >= MAX_RETRY_COUNT` check
+- Remove retryCount increment
+- Remove `MAX_RETRY_COUNT` constant
+
+### 3.4 Remove Override Parameters
+
+- Remove `prompt` and `aspectRatio` parameters from request body
+- Always regenerate with exact same parameters as original
+
+### 3.5 Image Update Behavior
+
+**Update existing image instead of creating new:**
+
+**Preserve:**
+- `imageId` (UUID remains the same)
+- `storageKey` (MinIO path)
+- `storageUrl`
+- `alias` (if assigned)
+- `createdAt` (original creation timestamp)
+
+**Update:**
+- Physical file in MinIO (overwrite)
+- `fileSize` (if changed)
+- `updatedAt` timestamp
+
+**Generation record:**
+- Update `status` → processing → success/failed
+- Update `processingTimeMs`
+- Keep `outputImageId` (same value)
+- Keep `flowId` (if present)
+
+### 3.6 Additional Endpoint
+
+**Add for Flow:**
+- `POST /api/v1/flows/:id/regenerate`
+- Regenerates the most recent generation in flow
+- Returns `FLOW_HAS_NO_GENERATIONS` error if flow is empty
+- Uses parameters from the last generation in flow
+
+---
+
+## 4. Flow Auto-Creation (Lazy Flow Pattern)
+
+### 4.1 Lazy Flow Creation Strategy
+
+**Concept:**
+1. **First request without flowId** → return generated `flowId` in response, but **DO NOT create in DB**
+2. **Any request with valid flowId** → create flow in DB if doesn't exist, add this request to flow
+3. **If flowAlias specified in request** → create flow immediately (eager creation)
+
+### 4.2 Implementation Details
+
+**Flow ID Generation:**
+- When generation/upload has no flowId, generate UUID for potential flow
+- Return this flowId in response
+- Save `flowId` in generation/image record, but DO NOT create flow record
+
+**Flow Creation in DB:**
+
+**Trigger:** ANY request with valid flowId value
+
+**Logic:**
+1. Check if flow record exists in DB
+2. Check if there are existing generations/images with this flowId
+3. If flow doesn't exist:
+   - Create flow record with provided flowId
+   - Include all existing records with this flowId
+   - Maintain chronological order based on createdAt timestamps
+4. If flow exists:
+   - Add new record to existing flow
+
+**Eager creation:**
+- If request includes `flowAlias` → create flow immediately
+- Set alias in `flow.aliases` object
+
+**Database Schema:**
+- `generations` table already has `flowId` field (foreign key to flows.id)
+- `images` table already has `flowId` field (foreign key to flows.id)
+- No schema changes needed
+
+**Orphan flowId handling:**
+- If `flowId` exists in generation/image record but not in `flows` table - this is normal
+- Such records are called "orphans" and simply not shown in `GET /api/v1/flows` list
+- No cleanup job needed
+- Do NOT delete such records automatically
+- System works correctly with orphan flowIds until flow record is created
+
+### 4.3 Endpoint Changes
+
+**Remove:**
+- ❌ `POST /api/v1/flows` endpoint (no longer needed)
+
+**Modify responses:**
+- `POST /api/v1/generations` → always return `flowId` in response (see section 10.1)
+- `POST /api/v1/images/upload` → always return `flowId` in response (see section 10.1)
+
+---
+
+## 5. Upload Image Enhancements
+
+### 5.1 Add Parameters
+
+**POST /api/v1/images/upload:**
+
+**Parameters:**
+- `alias` (optional, string) - project-scoped alias
+- `flowAlias` (optional, string) - flow-scoped alias for uploaded image
+- `flowId` (optional, string) - flow association
+
+**Behavior:**
+- If `flowAlias` and `flowId` specified:
+  - Ensure flow exists (or create via lazy pattern)
+  - Add alias to `flow.aliases` object
+- If `flowAlias` WITHOUT `flowId`:
+  - Apply lazy flow creation with eager pattern
+  - Create flow immediately, set flowAlias
+- If only `alias` specified:
+  - Set project-scoped alias on image
+
+### 5.2 Alias Conflict Resolution
+
+**Validation rules:**
+
+1. **Technical aliases are forbidden:**
+   - Cannot use: `@last`, `@first`, `@upload` or any reserved technical alias
+   - Return validation error if attempted
+
+2. **Alias override behavior:**
+   - If alias already exists → new request has higher priority
+   - Alias points to new image
+   - Previous image loses its alias but is NOT deleted
+   - Same logic applies to both project aliases and flow aliases
+
+3. **Applies to both:**
+   - Image upload with alias
+   - Generation with alias/flowAlias
+
+**Example:**
+```
+State: Image A has alias "@hero"
+Request: Upload Image B with alias "@hero"
+Result:
+  - Image B now has alias "@hero"
+  - Image A loses alias (alias = NULL)
+  - Image A is NOT deleted
+```
+
+---
+
+## 6. Image Alias Management Refactoring
+
+### 6.1 Endpoint Consolidation
+
+**Remove alias handling from:**
+- ❌ `PUT /api/v1/images/:id` (body: { alias, focalPoint, meta })
+  - Remove `alias` parameter
+  - Keep only `focalPoint` and `meta`
+
+**Single method for project-scoped alias management:**
+- ✅ `PUT /api/v1/images/:id/alias` (body: { alias })
+  - Set new alias
+  - Change existing alias
+  - Remove alias (pass `alias: null`)
+
+**Rationale:** Explicit intent, dedicated endpoint for alias operations, simpler validation.
+
+### 6.2 Alias as Image Identifier
+
+**Support alias in path parameters:**
+
+**Syntax:**
+- UUID: `GET /api/v1/images/550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000`
+- Alias: `GET /api/v1/images/@hero`
+- `@` symbol distinguishes alias from UUID (UUIDs never contain `@`)
+
+**UUID validation:** UUIDs can NEVER contain `@` symbol - this guarantees no conflicts
+
+**Flow-scoped resolution:**
+- `GET /api/v1/images/@hero?flowId=uuid-123`
+- Searches for alias `@hero` in context of flow `uuid-123`
+- Uses 3-tier precedence (technical → flow → project)
+
+**Endpoints with alias support:**
+- `GET /api/v1/images/:id_or_alias`
+- `PUT /api/v1/images/:id_or_alias` (for focalPoint, meta)
+- `PUT /api/v1/images/:id_or_alias/alias`
+- `DELETE /api/v1/images/:id_or_alias`
+
+**Implementation:**
+- Check first character of path parameter
+- If starts with `@` → resolve via AliasService
+- If doesn't start with `@` → treat as UUID
+- After resolution, work with imageId as usual
+
+### 6.3 CDN-style Image URLs with Alias Support
+
+**Current URL format must be changed.**
+
+**New standardized URL patterns:**
+
+**For all generated and uploaded images:**
+```
+GET /cdn/:orgSlug/:projectSlug/img/:filenameOrAlias
+```
+
+**For live URLs:**
+```
+GET /cdn/:orgSlug/:projectSlug/live/:scope?prompt=...&aspectRatio=...
+```
+
+**All image URLs returned by API must follow this pattern.**
+
+**Resolution Logic:**
+1. Check if `:filenameOrAlias` starts with `@`
+2. If yes → resolve alias via AliasService
+3. If no → search by filename/storageKey
+4. Return image bytes with proper content-type headers
+
+**Response Headers:**
+- Content-Type: image/jpeg (or appropriate MIME type)
+- Cache-Control: public, max-age=31536000
+- ETag: based on imageId or fileHash
+
+**URL Encoding for prompts:**
+- Spaces can be replaced with underscores `_` for convenience
+- Both `prompt=beautiful%20sunset` and `prompt=beautiful_sunset` are valid
+- System should handle both formats
+
+**Examples:**
+```
+GET /cdn/acme/website/img/@hero        → resolve @hero alias
+GET /cdn/acme/website/img/logo.png     → find by filename
+GET /cdn/acme/website/img/@product-1   → resolve @product-1 alias
+```
+
+**Error Handling:**
+- Alias not found → 404
+- Filename not found → 404
+- Multiple matches → alias takes priority over filename
+
+---
+
+## 7. Deletion Strategy Overhaul
+
+### 7.1 Image Deletion (Hard Delete)
+
+**DELETE /api/v1/images/:id**
+
+**Operations:**
+1. Delete physical file from MinIO storage
+2. Delete record from `images` table (hard delete)
+3. Cascade: set `outputImageId = NULL` in related generations
+4. Cascade: **completely remove alias entries** from all `flow.aliases` where imageId is referenced
+   - Remove entire key-value pairs, not just values
+5. Cascade: remove imageId from `generation.referencedImages` JSON arrays
+
+**Example cascade for flow.aliases:**
+```
+Before: flow.aliases = { "@hero": "img-123", "@product": "img-456" }
+Delete img-123
+After: flow.aliases = { "@product": "img-456" }
+```
+
+**Rationale:** User wants to delete - remove completely, free storage. Alias entries are also completely removed.
+
+### 7.2 Generation Deletion (Conditional)
+
+**DELETE /api/v1/generations/:id**
+
+**Behavior depends on output image alias:**
+
+**Case 1: Output image WITHOUT project alias**
+1. Delete output image completely (hard delete with MinIO cleanup)
+2. Delete generation record (hard delete)
+
+**Case 2: Output image WITH project alias**
+1. Keep output image (do not delete)
+2. Delete only generation record (hard delete)
+3. Set `generationId = NULL` in image record
+
+**Decision Logic:**
+- If `outputImage.alias !== null` → keep image, delete only generation
+- If `outputImage.alias === null` → delete both image and generation
+
+**Rationale:**
+- Image with project alias is used as standalone asset, preserve it
+- Image without alias was created only for this generation, delete together
+
+**No regeneration of deleted generations** - deleted generations cannot be regenerated
+
+### 7.3 Flow Deletion (Cascade with Alias Protection)
+
+**DELETE /api/v1/flows/:id**
+
+**Operations:**
+1. Delete flow record from DB
+2. Cascade: delete all generations associated with this flowId
+3. Cascade: delete all images associated with this flowId **EXCEPT** images with project alias
+
+**Detailed Cascade Logic:**
+
+**For Generations:**
+- Delete each generation (follows conditional delete from 7.2)
+- If output image has no alias → delete image
+- If output image has alias → keep image, set generationId = NULL, set flowId = NULL
+
+**For Images (uploaded):**
+- If image has no alias → delete (with MinIO cleanup)
+- If image has alias → keep, set flowId = NULL
+
+**Summary:**
+- Flow record → DELETE
+- All generations → DELETE
+- Images without alias → DELETE (with MinIO cleanup)
+- Images with project alias → KEEP (unlink: flowId = NULL)
+
+**Rationale:**
+Flow deletion removes all content except images with project aliases (used globally in project).
+
+### 7.4 Transactional Delete Pattern
+
+**All delete operations must be transactional:**
+
+1. Delete from MinIO storage first
+2. Delete from database (with cascades)
+3. If MinIO delete fails → rollback DB transaction
+4. If DB delete fails → cleanup MinIO file (or rollback if possible)
+5. Log all delete operations for audit trail
+
+**Principle:** System must be designed so orphaned files in MinIO NEVER occur.
+
+**Database Constraints:**
+- ON DELETE CASCADE for appropriate foreign keys
+- ON DELETE SET NULL where related records must be preserved
+- Proper referential integrity
+
+**No background cleanup jobs needed** - system is self-sufficient and always consistent.
+
+---
+
+## 8. Live URL System
+
+### 8.1 Core Concept
+
+**Purpose:** Permanent URLs that can be immediately inserted into HTML and work forever.
+
+**Use Case:**
+```html
+<img src="https://banatie.app/cdn/acme/website/live/hero-section?prompt=beautiful_sunset&aspectRatio=16:9"/>
+```
+
+**Key Points:**
+- URL is constructed immediately and used permanently
+- No preliminary generation through API needed
+- No signed URLs or tokens in query params
+- First request → generation, subsequent → cache
+
+### 8.2 URL Format & Structure
+
+**URL Pattern:**
+```
+/cdn/:orgSlug/:projectSlug/live/:scope?prompt=...&aspectRatio=...
+```
+
+**URL Components:**
+```
+/cdn/acme/website/live/hero-section?prompt=beautiful_sunset&aspectRatio=16:9
+     │    │       │    │           │
+     │    │       │    │           └─ Generation params (query string)
+     │    │       │    └─ Scope identifier
+     │    │       └─ "live" prefix
+     │    └─ Project slug
+     └─ Organization slug
+```
+
+**Scope Parameter:**
+- Name: `scope` (confirmed)
+- Purpose: logical separation of live URLs within project
+- Format: alphanumeric + hyphens + underscores
+- Any user can specify any scope (no validation/signature required)
+
+### 8.3 First Request Flow
+
+**Cache MISS (first request):**
+1. Parse orgSlug, projectSlug, scope from URL
+2. Compute cache key: hash(projectId + scope + prompt + params)
+3. Check if image exists in cache
+4. If NOT found:
+   - Check scope settings (allowNewGenerations, limit)
+   - Trigger image generation
+   - Create database records (generation, image, cache entry)
+   - Wait for generation to complete
+   - Return image bytes
+
+**Response:**
+- Content-Type: image/jpeg
+- Cache-Control: public, max-age=31536000
+- X-Cache-Status: MISS
+- X-Scope: hero-section
+- X-Image-Id: uuid
+
+**Cache HIT (subsequent requests):**
+1. Same cache key lookup
+2. Found existing image
+3. Return cached image bytes immediately
+
+**Response:**
+- Content-Type: image/jpeg
+- Cache-Control: public, max-age=31536000
+- X-Cache-Status: HIT
+- X-Image-Id: uuid
+
+**Generation in Progress:**
+- If image is not in cache but generation is already running:
+- System must have internal status to track this
+- Wait for generation to complete
+- Return image bytes immediately when ready
+- This ensures consistent behavior for concurrent requests
+
+### 8.4 Scope Management
+
+**Database Table: `live_scopes`**
+
+Create dedicated table with fields:
+- `id` (UUID, primary key)
+- `project_id` (UUID, foreign key to projects)
+- `slug` (TEXT, unique within project) - used in URL
+- `allowNewGenerations` (BOOLEAN, default: true) - controls if new generations can be triggered
+- `newGenerationsLimit` (INTEGER, default: 30) - max number of generations in this scope
+- `created_at` (TIMESTAMP)
+- `updated_at` (TIMESTAMP)
+
+**Scope Behavior:**
+
+**allowNewGenerations:**
+- Controls whether new generations can be triggered in this scope
+- Already generated images are ALWAYS served publicly regardless of this setting
+- Default: true
+
+**newGenerationsLimit:**
+- Limit on number of generations in this scope
+- Only affects NEW generations, does not affect regeneration
+- Default: 30
+
+**Scope Creation:**
+- Manual: via dedicated endpoint (see below)
+- Automatic: when new scope is used in live URL (if project allows)
+
+**Project-level Settings:**
+
+Add to projects table or settings:
+- `allowNewLiveScopes` (BOOLEAN, default: true) - allows creating new scopes via live URLs
+  - If false: new scopes cannot be created via live URL
+  - If false: scopes can still be created via API endpoint
+- `newLiveScopesGenerationLimit` (INTEGER, default: 30) - generation limit for auto-created scopes
+  - This value is set as `newGenerationsLimit` for newly created scopes
+
+### 8.5 Scope Management API
+
+**Create scope (manual):**
+```
+POST /api/v1/live/scopes
+Headers: X-API-Key: bnt_project_key
+Body: {
+  "slug": "hero-section",
+  "allowNewGenerations": true,
+  "newGenerationsLimit": 50
+}
+```
+
+**List scopes:**
+```
+GET /api/v1/live/scopes
+Headers: X-API-Key: bnt_project_key
+Response: {
+  "scopes": [
+    {
+      "id": "uuid",
+      "slug": "hero-section",
+      "allowNewGenerations": true,
+      "newGenerationsLimit": 50,
+      "currentGenerations": 23,
+      "lastGeneratedAt": "2024-01-15T10:30:00Z"
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+**Get scope details:**
+```
+GET /api/v1/live/scopes/:slug
+Headers: X-API-Key: bnt_project_key
+Response: {
+  "id": "uuid",
+  "slug": "hero-section",
+  "allowNewGenerations": true,
+  "newGenerationsLimit": 50,
+  "currentGenerations": 23,
+  "images": [...]
+}
+```
+
+**Update scope:**
+```
+PUT /api/v1/live/scopes/:slug
+Headers: X-API-Key: bnt_project_key
+Body: {
+  "allowNewGenerations": false,
+  "newGenerationsLimit": 100
+}
+```
+
+**Regenerate scope images:**
+```
+POST /api/v1/live/scopes/:slug/regenerate
+Headers: X-API-Key: bnt_project_key
+Body: { "imageId": "uuid" } // Optional: regenerate specific image
+Response: {
+  "regenerated": 1,
+  "images": [...]
+}
+```
+
+**Delete scope:**
+```
+DELETE /api/v1/live/scopes/:slug
+Headers: X-API-Key: bnt_project_key
+```
+
+**Deletion behavior:** Deletes all images in this scope (follows standard image deletion with alias protection).
+
+### 8.6 Security & Rate Limiting
+
+**Rate Limiting by IP:**
+- Aggressive limits for live URLs (e.g., 10 new generations per hour per IP)
+- Separate from API key limits
+- Cache hits do NOT count toward limit
+- Only new generations count
+
+**Scope Quotas:**
+- Maximum N unique prompts per scope (newGenerationsLimit)
+- After limit reached → return existing images, do not generate new
+- Regeneration does not count toward limit
+
+### 8.7 Caching Strategy
+
+**Cache Key:**
+```
+cacheKey = hash(projectId + scope + prompt + aspectRatio + otherParams)
+```
+
+**Cache Invalidation:**
+- Manual: via API endpoint regenerate
+- Automatic: never (images cached forever unless explicitly regenerated)
+
+**Scope Naming:** `scope` (confirmed)
+
+**URL Encoding:**
+- Prompt in query string: URL-encoded or underscores for spaces
+- Both formats supported: `prompt=beautiful%20sunset` and `prompt=beautiful_sunset`
+- Scope in path: alphanumeric + hyphens + underscores
+
+### 8.8 Error Handling
+
+**Detailed errors for live URLs:**
+
+- Invalid scope format → 400 "Invalid scope format. Use alphanumeric characters, hyphens, and underscores"
+- New scope creation disabled → 403 "Creating new live scopes is disabled for this project"
+- Generation limit exceeded → 429 "Scope generation limit exceeded. Maximum N generations per scope"
+- Generation fails → 500 with retry logic
+- Rate limit by IP exceeded → 429 "Rate limit exceeded. Try again in X seconds" with Retry-After header
+
+---
+
+## 9. Generation Modification
+
+### 9.1 Update Generation Endpoint
+
+**New endpoint:**
+```
+PUT /api/v1/generations/:id
+```
+
+**Modifiable Fields:**
+- `prompt` - change prompt
+- `aspectRatio` - change aspect ratio
+- `flowId` - change/remove/add flow association
+- `meta` - update metadata
+
+**Behavior:**
+
+**Case 1: Non-generative parameters (flowId, meta)**
+- Simply update fields in DB
+- Do NOT regenerate image
+
+**Case 2: Generative parameters (prompt, aspectRatio)**
+- Update fields in DB
+- Automatically trigger regeneration
+- Update existing image (same imageId, path, URL)
+
+### 9.2 FlowId Management
+
+**FlowId handling:**
+- `flowId: null` → detach from flow
+- `flowId: "new-uuid"` → attach to different flow
+  - If flow doesn't exist → create new flow eagerly (with this flowId)
+  - If flow exists → add generation to existing flow
+- `flowId: undefined` → do not change current value
+
+**Use Case - "Detach from Flow":**
+- Set `flowId: null` to detach generation from flow
+- Output image is preserved (if has alias)
+- Useful before deleting flow to protect important generations
+
+### 9.3 Validation Rules
+
+**Use existing validation logic from generation creation:**
+- Prompt validation (existing rules)
+- AspectRatio validation (existing rules)
+- FlowId validation:
+  - If provided (not null): must be valid UUID format
+  - Flow does NOT need to exist (will be created eagerly if missing)
+  - Allow null explicitly (for detachment)
+
+### 9.4 Response Format
+
+```json
+{
+  "success": true,
+  "data": {
+    "id": "gen-uuid",
+    "prompt": "updated prompt",
+    "aspectRatio": "16:9",
+    "flowId": null,
+    "status": "processing",  // If regeneration triggered
+    "regenerated": true,      // Flag indicating regeneration started
+    "outputImage": { ... }    // Current image (updates when regeneration completes)
+  }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## 10. Response Format Consistency
+
+### 10.1 FlowId in Responses
+
+**Rule for flowId in generation and upload responses:**
+
+**If request has `flowId: undefined` (not provided):**
+- Generate new flowId
+- Return in response: `"flowId": "new-uuid"`
+
+**If request has `flowId: null` (explicitly null):**
+- Do NOT generate flowId
+- Flow is definitely not needed
+- Return in response: `"flowId": null`
+
+**If request has `flowId: "uuid"` (specific value):**
+- Use provided flowId
+- Return in response: `"flowId": "uuid"`
+
+**Examples:**
+```json
+// Request without flowId
+POST /api/v1/generations
+Body: { "prompt": "sunset" }
+Response: { "flowId": "generated-uuid", ... }
+
+// Request with explicit null
+POST /api/v1/generations
+Body: { "prompt": "sunset", "flowId": null }
+Response: { "flowId": null, ... }
+
+// Request with specific flowId
+POST /api/v1/generations
+Body: { "prompt": "sunset", "flowId": "my-flow-uuid" }
+Response: { "flowId": "my-flow-uuid", ... }
+```
+
+---
+
+## 11. Error Messages Updates
+
+**Remove constants:**
+- `GENERATION_ALREADY_SUCCEEDED` (no longer needed)
+- `MAX_RETRY_COUNT_EXCEEDED` (no longer needed)
+
+**Add constants:**
+- `SCOPE_INVALID_FORMAT` - "Invalid scope format. Use alphanumeric characters, hyphens, and underscores"
+- `SCOPE_CREATION_DISABLED` - "Creating new live scopes is disabled for this project"
+- `SCOPE_GENERATION_LIMIT_EXCEEDED` - "Scope generation limit exceeded. Maximum {limit} generations per scope"
+- `STORAGE_DELETE_FAILED` - "Failed to delete file from storage"
+
+**Update constants:**
+- `GENERATION_FAILED` - include details about network/storage errors
+- `IMAGE_NOT_FOUND` - distinguish between deleted and never existed
+
+---
+
+## 12. Code Documentation Standards
+
+### 12.1 Endpoint JSDoc Comments
+
+**Requirement:** Every API endpoint must have comprehensive JSDoc comment.
+
+**Required sections:**
+
+1. **Purpose:** What this endpoint does (one sentence)
+2. **Logic:** Brief description of how it works (2-3 key steps)
+3. **Parameters:** Description of each parameter and what it affects
+4. **Authentication:** Required authentication level
+5. **Response:** What is returned
+
+**Example format:**
+```typescript
+/**
+ * Generate new image from text prompt with optional reference images.
+ *
+ * Logic:
+ * 1. Parse prompt to auto-detect reference image aliases
+ * 2. Resolve all aliases (auto-detected + manual) to image IDs
+ * 3. Trigger AI generation with prompt and reference images
+ * 4. Store result with metadata and return generation record
+ *
+ * @param {string} prompt - Text description for image generation (affects: output style and content)
+ * @param {string[]} referenceImages - Optional aliases/IDs for reference images (affects: visual style transfer)
+ * @param {string} aspectRatio - Image dimensions ratio (affects: output dimensions, default: 1:1)
+ * @param {string} flowId - Optional flow association (affects: organization and flow-scoped aliases)
+ * @param {string} alias - Optional project-scoped alias (affects: image referencing across project)
+ * @param {string} flowAlias - Optional flow-scoped alias (affects: image referencing within flow)
+ * @param {boolean} autoEnhance - Enable AI prompt enhancement (affects: prompt quality and detail)
+ * @param {object} meta - Custom metadata (affects: searchability and organization)
+ *
+ * @authentication Project Key required
+ * @returns {GenerationResponse} Generation record with status and output image details
+ */
+router.post('/generations', ...);
+```
+
+**Apply to:**
+- All route handlers in `/routes/**/*.ts`
+- All public service methods that implement core business logic
+- Complex utility functions with non-obvious behavior
+
+**Parameter descriptions must include "affects:"**
+- Explain what each parameter influences in the system
+- Help developers understand parameter impact
+- Make API more discoverable and self-documenting
+

+
+## Summary of Changes
+
+### Database Changes
+1. Rename `enhancedPrompt` → `originalPrompt` in generations table
+2. Create `live_scopes` table with fields: id, project_id, slug, allowNewGenerations, newGenerationsLimit
+3. Add project settings: allowNewLiveScopes, newLiveScopesGenerationLimit
+4. Add `scope` and `isLiveUrl` fields to images table (optional, can use meta)
+
+### API Changes
+1. Rename parameters: assignAlias → alias, assignFlowAlias → flowAlias
+2. Make referenceImages parameter optional with auto-detection from prompt
+3. Rename endpoint: POST /generations/:id/retry → /generations/:id/regenerate
+4. Remove endpoint: POST /api/v1/flows (no longer needed)
+5. Add endpoint: POST /api/v1/flows/:id/regenerate
+6. Add endpoint: PUT /api/v1/generations/:id (modification)

+   - GET /cdn/:org/:project/img/:filenameOrAlias (all images)
+   - GET /cdn/:org/:project/live/:scope (live URLs)
+8. Add scope management endpoints (CRUD for live_scopes)
+9. Update all image URLs in API responses to use CDN format
+
+### Behavior Changes
+1. Lazy flow creation (create on second request or when flowAlias present)

+ * Live URL generation with automatic caching and scope management
+ *
+ * Public endpoint for on-demand image generation via URL parameters:
+ * - No authentication required (public access)
+ * - Automatic prompt-based caching (cache key computed from params)
+ * - IP-based rate limiting (10 new generations per hour)
+ * - Scope-based generation limits
+ * - Lazy scope creation (automatic on first use)
+ * - Returns raw image bytes with caching headers
+ *
+ * Cache behavior:
+ * - Cache HIT: Returns existing image instantly, no rate limit check
+ * - Cache MISS: Generates new image, counts toward IP rate limit
+ * - Cache key computed from: prompt + aspectRatio + autoEnhance + template
+ * - Cached images stored with meta.isLiveUrl = true
+ *
+ * Scope management:
+ * - Scopes separate generation budgets (e.g., "hero", "gallery")
+ * - Auto-created on first use if allowNewLiveScopes = true
+ * - Generation limits per scope (default: 30)
+ * - Scope stats tracked (currentGenerations, lastGeneratedAt)
+ *

+ * **Migration Guide**:
+ * - Old: GET /api/v1/images/resolve/@hero
+ * - New: GET /api/v1/images/@hero
+ *
+ * This endpoint remains functional for backwards compatibility but will be
+ * removed in a future version.
+ *
+ * Resolves aliases through a priority-based lookup system:
+ * 1. Technical aliases (@last, @first, @upload) - computed on-the-fly
+ * 2. Flow-scoped aliases - looked up in flow's JSONB aliases field (requires flowId)
+ * 3. Project-scoped aliases - looked up in images.alias column
+ *
+ * Returns the image ID, resolution scope, and complete image details.

+# Banatie REST API Implementation Plan
+
+**Version:** 2.0
+**Status:** Ready for Implementation
+**Executor:** Claude Code
+**Database Schema:** v2.0 (banatie-database-design.md)
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+REST API for Banatie image generation service. All endpoints use `/api/v1/` prefix for versioning.
+
+**Core Features:**
+- AI image generation with Google Gemini Flash
+- Dual alias system (project-scoped + flow-scoped)
+- Technical aliases (@last, @first, @upload)
+- Flow-based generation chains
+- Live generation endpoint with caching
+- Upload and reference images
+
+**Authentication:** API keys only (`bnt_` prefix)
+
+---
+
+## Authentication
+
+All endpoints require API key in header:
+
+```
+X-API-Key: bnt_xxx...
+```
+
+**API Key Types:**
+- `master`: Full access to all projects in organization
+- `project`: Access to specific project only
+
+**Unauthorized Response (401):**
+```json

+  }>;
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Implementation Guidelines
+
+### Alias Resolution Algorithm
+
+**Priority Order:**
+1. Technical aliases (@last, @first, @upload) - compute from flow data
+2. Flow-scoped aliases - from flows.aliases JSONB
+3. Project-scoped aliases - from images.alias column
+
+**Technical Aliases:**
+- `@last`: Latest generation output in flow (any status)
+- `@first`: First generation output in flow
+- `@upload`: Latest uploaded image in flow
+
+### Dual Alias Assignment
+
+When creating generation or uploading image:
+- `assignAlias` → set images.alias (project scope)
+- `assignFlowAlias` → add to flows.aliases (flow scope)
+- Both can be assigned simultaneously
+
+### Flow Updates
+
+Update `flows.updated_at` on:
+- New generation created with flowId
+- New image uploaded with flowId
+- Flow aliases modified
+
+### Audit Trail
+
+Track `api_key_id` in:
+- `images.api_key_id` - who uploaded/generated
+- `generations.api_key_id` - who requested
+
+### Rate Limiting
+
+In-memory rate limiting (defer Redis for MVP):
+- Master key: 1000 req/hour, 100 generations/hour
+- Project key: 500 req/hour, 50 generations/hour
+
+**Headers:**
+```
+X-RateLimit-Limit: 500
+X-RateLimit-Remaining: 487
+X-RateLimit-Reset: 1698765432
+```
+
+### Error Response Format
+
+```typescript
+{
+  error: string;
+  message: string;
+  details?: unknown;
+  requestId?: string;
+}
+```
+
+### MinIO Integration
+
+Use streaming for `/api/v1/live`:
+```typescript
+const stream = await minioClient.getObject(bucket, storageKey);
+res.set('Content-Type', mimeType);
+stream.pipe(res);
+```
+
+Generate presigned URLs for other endpoints:
+```typescript
+const url = await minioClient.presignedGetObject(bucket, storageKey, 24 * 60 * 60);
+```
+
+---
+
+## Validation Rules
+
+**Alias Format:**
+- Pattern: `^@[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$`
+- Reserved: @last, @first, @upload
+- Length: 3-100 chars
+
+**File Upload:**
+- Max size: 5MB
+- MIME types: image/jpeg, image/png, image/webp
+- Max dimensions: 8192x8192
+
+**Prompt:**
+- Min: 1 char
+- Max: 2000 chars
+
+**Aspect Ratio:**
+- Pattern: `^\d+:\d+$`
+- Examples: 16:9, 1:1, 4:3, 9:16
+
+---
+
+## Service Architecture
+
+### Core Services

+
+---
+
+## Testing Requirements

+# Banatie Database Design
+
+## 📊 Database Schema for AI Image Generation System
+
+This document describes the complete database structure for Banatie - an AI-powered image generation service with support for named references, flows, and prompt URL caching.
+
+**Version:** 2.0  
+**Last Updated:** 2025-10-26  
+**Status:** Approved for Implementation
+
+---
+
+## 🏗️ Architecture Overview
+
+### Core Principles
+
+1. **Dual Alias System**: Project-level (global) and Flow-level (temporary) scopes
+2. **Technical Aliases Computed**: `@last`, `@first`, `@upload` are calculated programmatically
+3. **Audit Trail**: Complete history of all generations with performance metrics
+4. **Referential Integrity**: Proper foreign keys and cascade rules
+5. **Simplicity First**: Minimal tables, JSONB for flexibility
+
+### Scope Resolution Order
+
+```
+Flow-scoped aliases (@hero in flow) → Project-scoped aliases (@logo global) → Technical aliases (@last, @first)
+```
+
+---
+
+## 📋 Existing Tables (Unchanged)
+
+### 1. ORGANIZATIONS
+
+```typescript
+organizations {
+  id: UUID (PK)
+  name: TEXT
+  slug: TEXT UNIQUE
+  email: TEXT UNIQUE
+  created_at: TIMESTAMP
+  updated_at: TIMESTAMP
+}
+```
+
+**Purpose:** Top-level entity for multi-tenant system
+
+---
+
+### 2. PROJECTS
+
+```typescript
+projects {
+  id: UUID (PK)
+  organization_id: UUID (FK -> organizations) CASCADE
+  name: TEXT
+  slug: TEXT
+  created_at: TIMESTAMP
+  updated_at: TIMESTAMP
+  
+  UNIQUE INDEX(organization_id, slug)
+}
+```
+
+**Purpose:** Container for all project-specific data (images, generations, flows)
+
+---
+
+### 3. API_KEYS
+
+```typescript
+api_keys {
+  id: UUID (PK)
+  key_hash: TEXT UNIQUE
+  key_prefix: TEXT DEFAULT 'bnt_'
+  key_type: ENUM('master', 'project')
+  
+  organization_id: UUID (FK -> organizations) CASCADE
+  project_id: UUID (FK -> projects) CASCADE
+  
+  scopes: JSONB DEFAULT ['generate']
+  
+  created_at: TIMESTAMP
+  expires_at: TIMESTAMP
+  last_used_at: TIMESTAMP
+  is_active: BOOLEAN DEFAULT true
+  
+  name: TEXT
+  created_by: UUID
+}
+```
+
+**Purpose:** Authentication and authorization for API access
+
+---
+
+## 🆕 New Tables
+
+### 4. FLOWS
+
+```typescript
+flows {
+  id: UUID (PK)
+  project_id: UUID (FK -> projects) CASCADE
+  
+  // Flow-scoped named aliases (user-assigned only)
+  // Technical aliases (@last, @first, @upload) computed programmatically
+  // Format: { "@hero": "image-uuid", "@product": "image-uuid" }
+  aliases: JSONB DEFAULT {}
+  
+  meta: JSONB DEFAULT {}
+  
+  created_at: TIMESTAMP
+  // Updates on every generation/upload activity within this flow
+  updated_at: TIMESTAMP
+}
+```
+
+**Purpose:** Temporary chains of generations with flow-scoped references
+
+**Key Design Decisions:**
+- No `status` field - computed from generations
+- No `name`/`description` - flows are programmatic, not user-facing
+- No `expires_at` - cleanup handled programmatically via `created_at`
+- `aliases` stores only user-assigned aliases, not technical ones
+
+**Indexes:**
+```sql
+CREATE INDEX idx_flows_project ON flows(project_id, created_at DESC);
+```
+
+---
+
+### 5. IMAGES
+
+```typescript
+images {
+  id: UUID (PK)
+  
+  // Relations
+  project_id: UUID (FK -> projects) CASCADE
+  generation_id: UUID (FK -> generations) SET NULL
+  flow_id: UUID (FK -> flows) CASCADE
+  api_key_id: UUID (FK -> api_keys) SET NULL
+  
+  // Storage (MinIO path format: orgSlug/projectSlug/category/YYYY-MM/filename.ext)
+  storage_key: VARCHAR(500) UNIQUE
+  storage_url: TEXT
+  
+  // File metadata
+  mime_type: VARCHAR(100)
+  file_size: INTEGER
+  file_hash: VARCHAR(64) // SHA-256 for deduplication
+  
+  // Dimensions
+  width: INTEGER
+  height: INTEGER
+  aspect_ratio: VARCHAR(10)
+  
+  // Focal point for image transformations (imageflow)
+  // Normalized coordinates: { "x": 0.5, "y": 0.3 } where 0.0-1.0
+  focal_point: JSONB
+  
+  // Source
+  source: ENUM('generated', 'uploaded')
+  
+  // Project-level alias (global scope)
+  // Flow-level aliases stored in flows.aliases
+  alias: VARCHAR(100) // @product, @logo
+  
+  // Metadata
+  description: TEXT
+  tags: TEXT[]
+  meta: JSONB DEFAULT {}
+  
+  // Audit
+  created_at: TIMESTAMP
+  updated_at: TIMESTAMP
+  deleted_at: TIMESTAMP // Soft delete
+}
+```
+
+**Purpose:** Centralized storage for all images (uploaded + generated)
+
+**Key Design Decisions:**
+- `flow_id` enables flow-scoped uploads
+- `alias` is for project-scope only (global across project)
+- Flow-scoped aliases stored in `flows.aliases` table
+- `focal_point` for imageflow server integration
+- `api_key_id` for audit trail of who created the image
+- Soft delete via `deleted_at` for recovery
+
+**Constraints:**
+```sql
+CHECK (source = 'uploaded' AND generation_id IS NULL) 
+   OR (source = 'generated' AND generation_id IS NOT NULL)
+
+CHECK alias IS NULL OR alias ~ '^@[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+$'
+
+CHECK file_size > 0
+
+CHECK (width IS NULL OR (width > 0 AND width <= 8192))
+  AND (height IS NULL OR (height > 0 AND height <= 8192))
+```
+
+**Indexes:**
+```sql
+CREATE UNIQUE INDEX idx_images_project_alias 
+  ON images(project_id, alias) 
+  WHERE alias IS NOT NULL AND deleted_at IS NULL AND flow_id IS NULL;
+
+CREATE INDEX idx_images_project_source 
+  ON images(project_id, source, created_at DESC) 
+  WHERE deleted_at IS NULL;
+
+CREATE INDEX idx_images_flow ON images(flow_id) WHERE flow_id IS NOT NULL;
+CREATE INDEX idx_images_generation ON images(generation_id);
+CREATE INDEX idx_images_storage_key ON images(storage_key);
+CREATE INDEX idx_images_hash ON images(file_hash);
+```

+
+### 6. GENERATIONS
+
+```typescript
+generations {
+  id: UUID (PK)
+  
+  // Relations
+  project_id: UUID (FK -> projects) CASCADE
+  flow_id: UUID (FK -> flows) SET NULL
+  api_key_id: UUID (FK -> api_keys) SET NULL
+  
+  // Status
+  status: ENUM('pending', 'processing', 'success', 'failed') DEFAULT 'pending'
+  
+  // Prompts
+  original_prompt: TEXT
+  enhanced_prompt: TEXT // AI-enhanced version (if enabled)
+  
+  // Generation parameters
+  aspect_ratio: VARCHAR(10)
+  width: INTEGER
+  height: INTEGER
+  
+  // AI Model
+  model_name: VARCHAR(100) DEFAULT 'gemini-flash-image-001'
+  model_version: VARCHAR(50)
+  
+  // Result
+  output_image_id: UUID (FK -> images) SET NULL
+  
+  // Referenced images used in generation
+  // Format: [{ "imageId": "uuid", "alias": "@product" }, ...]
+  referenced_images: JSONB
+  
+  // Error handling
+  error_message: TEXT
+  error_code: VARCHAR(50)
+  retry_count: INTEGER DEFAULT 0
+  
+  // Metrics
+  processing_time_ms: INTEGER
+  cost: INTEGER // In cents (USD)
+  
+  // Request context
+  request_id: UUID // For log correlation
+  user_agent: TEXT
+  ip_address: INET
+  
+  // Metadata
+  meta: JSONB DEFAULT {}
+  
+  // Audit
+  created_at: TIMESTAMP
+  updated_at: TIMESTAMP
+}
+```
+
+**Purpose:** Complete audit trail of all image generations
+
+**Key Design Decisions:**
+- `referenced_images` as JSONB instead of M:N table (simpler, sufficient for reference info)
+- No `parent_generation_id` - not needed for MVP
+- No `final_prompt` - redundant with `enhanced_prompt` or `original_prompt`
+- No `completed_at` - use `updated_at` when `status` changes to success/failed
+- `api_key_id` for audit trail of who made the request
+- Technical aliases resolved programmatically, not stored
+
+**Referenced Images Format:**
+```json
+[
+  { "imageId": "uuid-1", "alias": "@product" },
+  { "imageId": "uuid-2", "alias": "@style" }
+]
+```
+
+**Constraints:**
+```sql
+CHECK (status = 'success' AND output_image_id IS NOT NULL) 
+   OR (status != 'success')
+
+CHECK (status = 'failed' AND error_message IS NOT NULL) 
+   OR (status != 'failed')
+
+CHECK retry_count >= 0
+
+CHECK processing_time_ms IS NULL OR processing_time_ms >= 0
+
+CHECK cost IS NULL OR cost >= 0
+```
+
+**Indexes:**
+```sql
+CREATE INDEX idx_generations_project_status 
+  ON generations(project_id, status, created_at DESC);
+
+CREATE INDEX idx_generations_flow 
+  ON generations(flow_id, created_at DESC) 
+  WHERE flow_id IS NOT NULL;
+
+CREATE INDEX idx_generations_output ON generations(output_image_id);
+CREATE INDEX idx_generations_request ON generations(request_id);
+```
+
+---
+
+### 7. PROMPT_URL_CACHE
+
+```typescript
+prompt_url_cache {
+  id: UUID (PK)
+  
+  // Relations
+  project_id: UUID (FK -> projects) CASCADE
+  generation_id: UUID (FK -> generations) CASCADE
+  image_id: UUID (FK -> images) CASCADE
+  
+  // Cache keys (SHA-256 hashes)
+  prompt_hash: VARCHAR(64)
+  query_params_hash: VARCHAR(64)
+  
+  // Original request (for debugging/reconstruction)
+  original_prompt: TEXT
+  request_params: JSONB // { width, height, aspectRatio, template, ... }
+  
+  // Cache statistics
+  hit_count: INTEGER DEFAULT 0
+  last_hit_at: TIMESTAMP
+  
+  // Audit
+  created_at: TIMESTAMP
+}
+```
+
+**Purpose:** Deduplication and caching for Prompt URL feature
+
+**Key Design Decisions:**
+- Composite unique key: `project_id + prompt_hash + query_params_hash`
+- No `expires_at` - cache lives forever unless manually cleared
+- Tracks `hit_count` for analytics
+
+**Constraints:**
+```sql
+CHECK hit_count >= 0
+```
+
+**Indexes:**
+```sql
+CREATE UNIQUE INDEX idx_cache_key 
+  ON prompt_url_cache(project_id, prompt_hash, query_params_hash);
+
+CREATE INDEX idx_cache_generation ON prompt_url_cache(generation_id);
+CREATE INDEX idx_cache_image ON prompt_url_cache(image_id);
+CREATE INDEX idx_cache_hits 
+  ON prompt_url_cache(project_id, hit_count DESC, created_at DESC);
+```

+
+## 🔗 Relationships Summary
+
+### One-to-Many (1:M)
+
+1. **organizations → projects** (CASCADE)
+2. **organizations → api_keys** (CASCADE)
+3. **projects → api_keys** (CASCADE)
+4. **projects → flows** (CASCADE)
+5. **projects → images** (CASCADE)
+6. **projects → generations** (CASCADE)
+7. **projects → prompt_url_cache** (CASCADE)
+8. **flows → images** (CASCADE)
+9. **flows → generations** (SET NULL)
+10. **generations → images** (SET NULL) - output image
+11. **api_keys → images** (SET NULL) - who created
+12. **api_keys → generations** (SET NULL) - who requested
+
+### Cascade Rules
+
+**ON DELETE CASCADE:**
+- Deleting organization → deletes all projects, api_keys
+- Deleting project → deletes all flows, images, generations, cache
+- Deleting flow → deletes all flow-scoped images
+- Deleting generation → nothing (orphaned references OK)
+
+**ON DELETE SET NULL:**
+- Deleting generation → sets `images.generation_id` to NULL
+- Deleting image → sets `generations.output_image_id` to NULL
+- Deleting flow → sets `generations.flow_id` to NULL
+- Deleting api_key → sets audit references to NULL
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 Alias System
+
+### Two-Tier Alias Scope
+
+#### Project-Scoped (Global)
+- **Storage:** `images.alias` column
+- **Lifetime:** Permanent (until image deleted)
+- **Visibility:** Across entire project
+- **Examples:** `@logo`, `@brand`, `@header`
+- **Use Case:** Reusable brand assets
+
+#### Flow-Scoped (Temporary)
+- **Storage:** `flows.aliases` JSONB
+- **Lifetime:** Duration of flow
+- **Visibility:** Only within specific flow
+- **Examples:** `@hero`, `@product`, `@variant`
+- **Use Case:** Conversational generation chains
+
+#### Technical Aliases (Computed)
+- **Storage:** None (computed on-the-fly)
+- **Types:**
+  - `@last` - Last generation in flow (any status)
+  - `@first` - First generation in flow
+  - `@upload` - Last uploaded image in flow
+- **Implementation:** Query-based resolution
+
+### Resolution Algorithm
+
+```
+1. Check if technical alias (@last, @first, @upload) → compute from flow data
+2. Check flow.aliases for flow-scoped alias → return if found
+3. Check images.alias for project-scoped alias → return if found
+4. Return null (alias not found)
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🔧 Dual Alias Assignment
+
+### Uploads
+```typescript
+POST /api/images/upload
+{
+  file: <binary>,
+  alias: "@product",        // Project-scoped (optional)
+  flowAlias: "@hero",       // Flow-scoped (optional)
+  flowId: "uuid"            // Required if flowAlias provided
+}
+```
+
+**Result:**
+- If `alias` provided → set `images.alias = "@product"`
+- If `flowAlias` provided → add to `flows.aliases["@hero"] = imageId`
+- Can have both simultaneously
+
+### Generations
+```typescript
+POST /api/generations
+{
+  prompt: "hero image",
+  assignAlias: "@brand",    // Project-scoped (optional)
+  assignFlowAlias: "@hero", // Flow-scoped (optional)
+  flowId: "uuid"
+}
+```
+
+**Result (after successful generation):**
+- If `assignAlias` → set `images.alias = "@brand"` on output image
+- If `assignFlowAlias` → add to `flows.aliases["@hero"] = outputImageId`
+
+---
+
+## 📊 Performance Optimizations
+
+### Critical Indexes
+
+All indexes listed in individual table sections above. Key performance considerations:
+
+1. **Alias Lookup:** Partial index on `images(project_id, alias)` WHERE conditions
+2. **Flow Activity:** Composite index on `generations(flow_id, created_at)`
+3. **Cache Hit:** Unique composite on `prompt_url_cache(project_id, prompt_hash, query_params_hash)`
+4. **Audit Queries:** Indexes on `api_key_id` columns
+
+### Denormalization
+
+**Avoided intentionally:**
+- No counters (image_count, generation_count)
+- Computed via COUNT(*) queries with proper indexes
+- Simpler, more reliable, less trigger overhead
+
+---
+
+## 🧹 Data Lifecycle
+
+### Soft Delete
+
+**Tables with soft delete:**
+- `images` - via `deleted_at` column
+
+**Cleanup strategy:**
+- Hard delete after 30 days of soft delete
+- Implemented via cron job or manual cleanup script
+
+### Hard Delete
+
+**Tables with hard delete:**
+- `generations` - cascade deletes
+- `flows` - cascade deletes
+- `prompt_url_cache` - cascade deletes
+
+---
+
+## 🔐 Security & Audit
+
+### API Key Tracking
+
+All mutations tracked via `api_key_id`:
+- `images.api_key_id` - who uploaded/generated
+- `generations.api_key_id` - who requested generation
+
+### Request Correlation
+
+- `generations.request_id` - correlate with application logs
+- `generations.user_agent` - client identification
+- `generations.ip_address` - rate limiting, abuse prevention
+
+---
+
+## 🚀 Migration Strategy
+
+### Phase 1: Core Tables
+1. Create `flows` table
+2. Create `images` table
+3. Create `generations` table
+4. Add all indexes and constraints
+5. Migrate existing MinIO data to `images` table
+
+### Phase 2: Advanced Features
+1. Create `prompt_url_cache` table
+2. Add indexes
+3. Implement cache warming for existing data (optional)
+
+---
+
+## 📝 Design Decisions Log
+
+### Why JSONB for `flows.aliases`?
+- Simple key-value structure
+- No need for JOINs
+- Flexible schema
+- Atomic updates
+- Trade-off: No referential integrity (acceptable for temporary data)
+
+### Why JSONB for `generations.referenced_images`?
+- Reference info is append-only
+- No need for complex queries on references
+- Simpler schema (one less table)
+- Trade-off: No CASCADE on image deletion (acceptable)
+
+### Why no `namespaces`?
+- Adds complexity without clear benefit for MVP
+- Flow-scoped + project-scoped aliases sufficient
+- Can add later if needed
+
+### Why no `generation_groups`?
+- Not needed for core functionality
+- Grouping can be done via tags or meta JSONB
+- Can add later if analytics requires it
+
+### Why `focal_point` as JSONB?
+- Imageflow server expects normalized coordinates
+- Format: `{ "x": 0.0-1.0, "y": 0.0-1.0 }`
+- JSONB allows future extension (e.g., multiple focal points)
+
+### Why track `api_key_id` in images/generations?
+- Essential for audit trail
+- Cost attribution per key
+- Usage analytics
+- Abuse detection

-# Banatie API Reference
-
-Banatie is a REST API service for AI-powered image generation using the Gemini Flash Image model.
-
-## Base URL
-
-```
-http://localhost:3000
-```
-
-## Authentication
-
-All API endpoints (except `/health`, `/api/info`, and `/api/bootstrap/*`) require authentication via API key.
-
-### API Key Types
-
-1. **Master Keys** - Full admin access, never expire, can create/revoke other keys
-2. **Project Keys** - Standard access for image generation, expire in 90 days
-
-### Using API Keys
-
-Include your API key in the `X-API-Key` header:
-
-```bash
-curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/generate \
-  -H "X-API-Key: bnt_your_key_here" \
-  -F "prompt=..." \
-  -F "filename=..."
-```
-
-### Getting Your First API Key
-
-1. **Bootstrap** - Create initial master key (one-time only):
-   ```bash
-   curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/bootstrap/initial-key
-   ```
-
-2. **Create Project Key** - Use master key to create project keys:
-   ```bash
-   curl -X POST http://localhost:3000/api/admin/keys \
-     -H "X-API-Key: YOUR_MASTER_KEY" \
-     -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-     -d '{"type": "project", "projectId": "my-project", "name": "My Project Key"}'
-   ```
-
-**Important:** Save keys securely when created - they cannot be retrieved later!
-
-## Content Types
-
-- **Request**: `multipart/form-data` for file uploads, `application/json` for JSON endpoints
-- **Response**: `application/json`
-
-## Rate Limits
-
-All authenticated endpoints (those requiring API keys) are rate limited:
-
-- **Per API Key:** 100 requests per hour
-- **Applies to:**
-  - `POST /api/generate`
-  - `POST /api/text-to-image`
-  - `POST /api/upload`
-  - `POST /api/enhance`
-- **Not rate limited:**
-  - Public endpoints (`GET /health`, `GET /api/info`)
-  - Bootstrap endpoint (`POST /api/bootstrap/initial-key`)
-  - Admin endpoints (require master key, but no rate limit)
-  - Image serving endpoints (`GET /api/images/:orgId/:projectId/:category/:filename`)
-
-Rate limit information included in response headers:
-- `X-RateLimit-Limit`: Maximum requests per window
-- `X-RateLimit-Remaining`: Requests remaining
-- `X-RateLimit-Reset`: When the limit resets (ISO 8601)
-
-**429 Too Many Requests:** Returned when limit exceeded with `Retry-After` header

+# Advanced Image Generation
+
+Advanced generation features: reference images, aliases, flows, and regeneration. For basic generation, see [image-generation.md](image-generation.md).
+
+All endpoints require Project Key authentication via `X-API-Key` header.
+
+---
+
+## Reference Images
+
+Use existing images as style or content references for generation.
+
+### Using References
+
+Add `referenceImages` array to your generation request:
+
+```json
+{
+  "prompt": "A product photo with the logo in the corner",
+  "referenceImages": ["@brand-logo", "@product-style"]
+}
+```
+
+References can be:
+- **Project aliases**: `@logo`, `@brand-style`
+- **Flow aliases**: `@hero` (with flowId context)
+- **Technical aliases**: `@last`, `@first`, `@upload`
+- **Image UUIDs**: `550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000`
+
+### Auto-Detection from Prompt
+
+Aliases in the prompt are automatically detected and used as references:
+
+```json
+{
+  "prompt": "Create a banner using @brand-logo with blue background"
+}
+// @brand-logo is auto-detected and added to referenceImages
+```
+
+### Reference Limits
+
+| Constraint | Limit |
+|------------|-------|
+| Max references | 3 images |
+| Max file size | 5MB per image |
+| Supported formats | PNG, JPEG, WebP |
+
+### Response with References
+
+```json
+{
+  "data": {
+    "id": "550e8400-...",
+    "prompt": "Create a banner using @brand-logo",
+    "referencedImages": [
+      { "imageId": "7c4ccf47-...", "alias": "@brand-logo" }
+    ],
+    "referenceImages": [
+      {
+        "id": "7c4ccf47-...",
+        "storageUrl": "http://...",
+        "alias": "@brand-logo"
+      }
+    ]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Alias Assignment
+
+Assign aliases to generated images for easy referencing.
+
+### Project-Scoped Alias
+
+Use `alias` parameter to assign a project-wide alias:
+
+```json
+{
+  "prompt": "A hero banner image",
+  "alias": "@hero-banner"
+}
+```
+
+The output image will be accessible via `@hero-banner` anywhere in the project.
+
+### Flow-Scoped Alias
+
+Use `flowAlias` parameter to assign a flow-specific alias:
+
+```json
+{
+  "prompt": "A hero image variation",
+  "flowId": "550e8400-...",
+  "flowAlias": "@best"
+}
+```
+
+The alias `@best` is only accessible within this flow's context.
+
+### Alias Format
+
+| Rule | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| Prefix | Must start with `@` |
+| Characters | Alphanumeric, underscore, hyphen |
+| Pattern | `@[a-zA-Z0-9_-]+` |
+| Max length | 50 characters |
+| Examples | `@logo`, `@hero-bg`, `@image_1` |
+
+### Reserved Aliases
+
+These aliases are computed automatically and cannot be assigned:
+
+| Alias | Description |
+|-------|-------------|
+| `@last` | Most recently generated image in flow |
+| `@first` | First generated image in flow |
+| `@upload` | Most recently uploaded image in flow |
+
+### Override Behavior
+
+When assigning an alias that already exists:
+- The **new image gets the alias**
+- The **old image loses the alias** (alias set to null)
+- The old image is **not deleted**, just unlinked
+
+---
+
+## 3-Tier Alias Resolution
+
+Aliases are resolved in this order of precedence:
+
+### 1. Technical Aliases (Highest Priority)
+
+Computed on-the-fly, require flow context:
+
+```
+GET /api/v1/images/@last?flowId=550e8400-...
+```
+
+| Alias | Returns |
+|-------|---------|
+| `@last` | Last generated image in flow |
+| `@first` | First generated image in flow |
+| `@upload` | Last uploaded image in flow |
+
+### 2. Flow Aliases
+
+Stored in flow's `aliases` JSONB field:
+
+```
+GET /api/v1/images/@hero?flowId=550e8400-...
+```
+
+Different flows can have the same alias pointing to different images.
+
+### 3. Project Aliases (Lowest Priority)
+
+Stored in image's `alias` column:
+
+```
+GET /api/v1/images/@logo
+```
+
+Global across the project, unique per project.
+
+### Resolution Example
+
+```
+// Request with flowId
+GET /api/v1/images/@hero?flowId=abc-123
+
+// Resolution order:
+// 1. Is "@hero" a technical alias? No
+// 2. Does flow abc-123 have "@hero" in aliases? Check flows.aliases JSONB
+// 3. Does any image have alias = "@hero"? Check images.alias column
+```
+
+---
+
+## Flow Integration
+
+Flows organize related generations into chains.
+
+### Lazy Flow Creation
+
+When `flowId` is not provided, a pending flow ID is generated:
+
+```json
+// Request
+{
+  "prompt": "A red car"
+  // No flowId
+}
+
+// Response
+{
+  "data": {
+    "id": "gen-123",
+    "flowId": "flow-456"  // Auto-generated, flow record not created yet
+  }
+}
+```
+
+The flow record is created when:
+- A second generation uses the same `flowId`
+- A `flowAlias` is assigned to any generation in the flow
+
+### Eager Flow Creation
+
+When `flowAlias` is provided, the flow is created immediately:
+
+```json
+{
+  "prompt": "A hero banner",
+  "flowAlias": "@hero-flow"
+}
+```
+
+### No Flow Association
+
+To explicitly create without flow association:
+
+```json
+{
+  "prompt": "A standalone image",
+  "flowId": null
+}
+```
+
+### flowId Behavior Summary
+
+| Value | Behavior |
+|-------|----------|
+| `undefined` (not provided) | Auto-generate pendingFlowId, lazy creation |
+| `null` (explicitly null) | No flow association |
+| `"uuid-string"` | Use provided ID, create flow if doesn't exist |
+
+---
+
+## Regeneration
+
+### Regenerate Generation
+
+Recreate an image using the exact same parameters:
+
+```
+POST /api/v1/generations/:id/regenerate
+```
+
+**Behavior:**
+- Uses exact same prompt, aspect ratio, references
+- **Preserves** output image ID and URL
+- Works regardless of current status
+- No request body needed
+
+**Response:** Same as original generation with new image
+
+### Update and Regenerate
+
+Use PUT to modify parameters with smart regeneration:
+
+```
+PUT /api/v1/generations/:id
+```
+
+```json
+{
+  "prompt": "A blue car instead",
+  "aspectRatio": "1:1"
+}
+```
+
+**Smart Behavior:**
+
+| Changed Field | Triggers Regeneration |
+|---------------|----------------------|
+| `prompt` | Yes |
+| `aspectRatio` | Yes |
+| `flowId` | No (metadata only) |
+| `meta` | No (metadata only) |
+
+### Flow Regenerate
+
+Regenerate the most recent generation in a flow:
+
+```
+POST /api/v1/flows/:id/regenerate
+```
+
+**Behavior:**
+- Finds the most recent generation in flow
+- Regenerates with exact same parameters
+- Returns error if flow has no generations
+
+---
+

+# Image Generation API
+
+Basic image generation using AI. For advanced features like references, aliases, and flows, see [image-generation-advanced.md](image-generation-advanced.md).
+
+All endpoints require Project Key authentication via `X-API-Key` header.
+
+---
+
+## Create Generation
+
+```
+POST /api/v1/generations
+```
+
+Generate an AI image from a text prompt.
+
+**Request Body:**
+
+| Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description |
+|-----------|------|----------|---------|-------------|
+| `prompt` | string | Yes | - | Text description of the image to generate |
+| `aspectRatio` | string | No | `"1:1"` | Image aspect ratio |
+| `autoEnhance` | boolean | No | `true` | Enable AI prompt enhancement |
+| `enhancementOptions` | object | No | - | Enhancement configuration |
+| `enhancementOptions.template` | string | No | `"general"` | Enhancement template |
+| `meta` | object | No | `{}` | Custom metadata |
+
+**Example Request:**
+
+```json
+{
+  "prompt": "a red sports car on a mountain road",
+  "aspectRatio": "16:9",
+  "autoEnhance": true,
+  "enhancementOptions": {
+    "template": "photorealistic"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+**Response:** `201 Created`
+
+```json
+{
+  "success": true,
+  "data": {
+    "id": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",
+    "projectId": "57c7f7f4-47de-4d70-9ebd-3807a0b63746",
+    "prompt": "A photorealistic establishing shot of a sleek red sports car...",
+    "originalPrompt": "a red sports car on a mountain road",
+    "autoEnhance": true,
+    "aspectRatio": "16:9",
+    "status": "pending",
+    "outputImageId": null,
+    "processingTimeMs": null,
+    "createdAt": "2025-11-28T10:00:00.000Z",
+    "updatedAt": "2025-11-28T10:00:00.000Z"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Aspect Ratios
+
+Supported aspect ratios for image generation:
+
+| Aspect Ratio | Use Case |
+|--------------|----------|
+| `1:1` | Square images, social media posts, profile pictures |
+| `16:9` | Landscape, hero banners, video thumbnails |
+| `9:16` | Portrait, mobile screens, stories |
+| `3:2` | Photography standard, print |
+| `21:9` | Ultra-wide banners, cinematic |
+
+---
+
+## Prompt Enhancement
+
+By default, prompts are automatically enhanced by AI to produce better results.
+
+### How It Works
+
+When `autoEnhance: true` (default):
+- Your original prompt is preserved in `originalPrompt`
+- AI enhances it with style details, lighting, composition
+- The enhanced version is stored in `prompt` and used for generation
+
+When `autoEnhance: false`:
+- Both `prompt` and `originalPrompt` contain your original text
+- No AI enhancement is applied
+
+### Enhancement Templates
+
+Use `enhancementOptions.template` to guide the enhancement style:
+
+| Template | Description | Best For |
+|----------|-------------|----------|
+| `general` | Balanced enhancement (default) | Most use cases |
+| `photorealistic` | Photography terms, lighting, camera details | Realistic photos |
+| `illustration` | Art style, composition, color palette | Artwork, drawings |
+| `minimalist` | Clean, simple, essential elements | Logos, icons |
+| `sticker` | Bold outlines, limited colors, vector style | Stickers, emojis |
+| `product` | Studio lighting, materials, lifestyle context | E-commerce |
+| `comic` | Action lines, expressions, panel composition | Comics, manga |
+
+### Example: With Enhancement
+
+```json
+// Request
+{
+  "prompt": "a cat",
+  "autoEnhance": true,
+  "enhancementOptions": { "template": "photorealistic" }
+}
+
+// Response
+{
+  "prompt": "A photorealistic close-up portrait of a domestic cat with soft fur, captured with an 85mm lens at f/1.8, natural window lighting creating soft shadows, detailed whiskers and expressive eyes, shallow depth of field with creamy bokeh background",
+  "originalPrompt": "a cat",
+  "autoEnhance": true
+}
+```
+
+### Example: Without Enhancement
+
+```json
+// Request
+{
+  "prompt": "a cat sitting on a windowsill",
+  "autoEnhance": false
+}
+
+// Response
+{
+  "prompt": "a cat sitting on a windowsill",
+  "originalPrompt": "a cat sitting on a windowsill",
+  "autoEnhance": false
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Generation Status
+
+Generations go through these status stages:
+
+| Status | Description |
+|--------|-------------|
+| `pending` | Generation created, waiting to start |
+| `processing` | AI is generating the image |
+| `success` | Image generated successfully |
+| `failed` | Generation failed (see `errorMessage`) |
+
+Poll the generation endpoint to check status:
+
+```
+GET /api/v1/generations/:id
+```
+
+When `status: "success"`, the `outputImageId` field contains the generated image ID.
+
+---
+
+## List Generations
+
+```
+GET /api/v1/generations
+```
+

+# NOTES
+###############################################################################
+#
+# Expected Results:
+# ✓ All generations complete successfully (status = "success")
+# ✓ Each generation has unique ID and output image
+# ✓ Aspect ratios are correctly applied
+# ✓ Processing times are recorded (typically 3-15 seconds)
+# ✓ Pagination works correctly
+# ✓ Status filtering works correctly
+#
+# Common Issues:
+# ⚠ Generation may fail with Gemini API errors (transient)
+# ⚠ Processing time varies based on prompt complexity
+# ⚠ First generation may be slower (cold start)
+#
+# Tips:
+# - Use "Poll until success" for Step X.2 requests
+# - Variables are automatically extracted from responses
+# - Check response body to see extracted values
+# - Most generations complete in 5-10 seconds

+###############################################################################
+#
+# Auto-Enhance Feature:
+# - Default: autoEnhance = true (prompts are enhanced by AI)
+# - Set autoEnhance: false to disable enhancement
+# - Enhanced prompts are more detailed and descriptive
+#
+# Response Fields:
+# - prompt: The final prompt (enhanced if autoEnhance was true)
+# - originalPrompt: The user's original input
+# - autoEnhance: Boolean flag indicating if enhancement was applied
+#
+# Enhancement adds:
+# - Descriptive adjectives
+# - Lighting and atmosphere details
+# - Perspective and composition hints
+# - Style and rendering suggestions

+# 📦 Installation Instructions
+
+## Шаги установки тестовых скриптов
+
+### 1. Создайте структуру директорий
+
+```bash
+cd /projects/my-projects/banatie-service
+mkdir -p tests/api/fixtures
+mkdir -p results
+```
+
+### 2. Скопируйте файлы
+
+Скопируйте все файлы из `/tmp/` в соответствующие директории:
+
+```bash
+# Core files
+cp /tmp/test-config.ts tests/api/config.ts
+cp /tmp/test-utils.ts tests/api/utils.ts
+cp /tmp/test-run-all.ts tests/api/run-all.ts
+cp /tmp/test-README.md tests/api/README.md
+
+# Test files
+cp /tmp/test-01-basic.ts tests/api/01-basic.ts
+cp /tmp/test-02-flows.ts tests/api/02-flows.ts
+cp /tmp/test-03-aliases.ts tests/api/03-aliases.ts
+cp /tmp/test-04-live.ts tests/api/04-live.ts
+cp /tmp/test-05-edge-cases.ts tests/api/05-edge-cases.ts
+
+# Test fixture
+cp /tmp/test-image.png tests/api/fixtures/test-image.png
+```
+
+### 3. Обновите package.json
+
+Добавьте скрипты в root `package.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "scripts": {
+    "test:api": "tsx tests/api/run-all.ts",
+    "test:api:basic": "tsx tests/api/01-basic.ts",
+    "test:api:flows": "tsx tests/api/02-flows.ts",
+    "test:api:aliases": "tsx tests/api/03-aliases.ts",
+    "test:api:live": "tsx tests/api/04-live.ts",
+    "test:api:edge": "tsx tests/api/05-edge-cases.ts"
+  }
+}
+```
+
+Установите зависимости (если еще нет):
+
+```bash
+pnpm add -D tsx @types/node
+```
+
+### 4. Настройте environment
+
+Создайте `.env` в корне проекта (если еще нет):
+
+```bash
+API_KEY=bnt_your_test_api_key_here
+API_BASE_URL=http://localhost:3000
+```
+
+### 5. Обновите .gitignore
+
+Добавьте в `.gitignore`:
+
+```
+# Test results
+results/
+
+# Test environment
+tests/api/.env
+```
+
+### 6. Проверка установки
+
+```bash
+# Проверьте структуру
+tree tests/api
+
+# Должно выглядеть так:
+# tests/api/
+# ├── config.ts
+# ├── utils.ts
+# ├── fixtures/
+# │   └── test-image.png
+# ├── 01-basic.ts
+# ├── 02-flows.ts
+# ├── 03-aliases.ts
+# ├── 04-live.ts
+# ├── 05-edge-cases.ts
+# ├── run-all.ts
+# └── README.md
+```
+
+### 7. Первый запуск
+
+```bash
+# Запустите API сервер
+pnpm dev
+
+# В другом терминале запустите тесты
+pnpm test:api:basic
+```

+# Banatie API Test Suite - Summary & Known Issues
+
+**Last Updated:** 2025-11-18
+**API Version:** v1
+**Test Suite Version:** 1.0
+
+---
+
+## 📊 Test Suite Overview
+
+| Test File | Tests | Status | Description |
+|-----------|-------|--------|-------------|
+| 01-generation-basic.ts | ~8 | ✅ Expected to pass | Basic image generation functionality |
+| 02-basic.ts | ~15 | ✅ Expected to pass | Image upload, CRUD operations |
+| 03-flows.ts | ~10 | ✅ Expected to pass | Flow lifecycle and management |
+| 04-aliases.ts | ~12 | ✅ Expected to pass | 3-tier alias resolution system |
+| 05-live.ts | ~10 | ✅ Expected to pass | Live URLs, scopes, caching |
+| 06-edge-cases.ts | ~15 | ✅ Expected to pass | Validation and error handling |
+| 07-known-issues.ts | ~4 | ❌ Expected to fail | Known implementation issues |
+
+**Total Tests:** ~74
+**Expected Pass:** ~70
+**Expected Fail:** ~4
+
+---
+
+## 🚫 Skipped Tests
+
+These tests are intentionally NOT implemented because the functionality doesn't exist or isn't needed:
+
+### 1. Manual Flow Creation
+**Endpoint:** `POST /api/v1/flows`
+**Reason:** Endpoint removed from implementation. Flows use lazy/eager creation pattern via generation/upload.
+**Impact:** Tests must create flows via `flowAlias` parameter or rely on auto-generated flowIds.
+
+### 2. CDN Flow Context
+**Test:** Get CDN image with flowId query parameter
+**Endpoint:** `GET /cdn/:org/:project/img/@alias?flowId={uuid}`
+**Reason:** CDN endpoints don't support flowId context for flow-scoped alias resolution.
+**Impact:** CDN can only resolve project-scoped aliases, not flow-scoped.
+
+### 3. Image Transformations & Cloudflare
+**Tests:** Any transformation-related validation
+**Reason:** No image transformation service or Cloudflare CDN in test environment.
+**Impact:** All images served directly from MinIO without modification.
+
+### 4. Test 10.3 - URL Encoding with Underscores
+**Test:** Live URL with underscores in prompt (`beautiful_sunset`)
+**Reason:** Edge case not critical for core functionality.
+**Status:** Add to future enhancement list if URL encoding issues arise.
+
+### 5. Concurrent Operations Tests (14.1-14.3)
+**Tests:**
+- Concurrent generations in same flow
+- Concurrent alias assignments
+- Concurrent cache access
+
+**Reason:** Complex timing requirements, potential flakiness, not critical for initial validation.
+**Status:** Consider adding later for stress testing.
+
+---
+
+## ❌ Known Implementation Issues
+
+These tests are implemented in `07-known-issues.ts` and are **expected to fail**. They document bugs/missing features in the current implementation.
+
+### Issue #1: Project Aliases on Flow Images
+**Test:** Generate image in flow with project-scoped alias
+**Expected:** Image should be accessible via project alias even when associated with a flow
+**Current Behavior:** `AliasService.resolveProjectAlias()` has `isNull(images.flowId)` constraint
+**Impact:** Images within flows cannot have project-scoped aliases
+**File:** `apps/api-service/src/services/core/AliasService.ts:125`
+**Fix Required:** Remove `isNull(images.flowId)` condition from project alias resolution
+
+### Issue #2: Flow Cascade Delete - Non-Aliased Images
+**Test:** Delete flow, verify non-aliased images are deleted
+**Expected:** Images without project aliases should be cascade deleted
+**Current Behavior:** Flow deletion only deletes flow record, leaves all images intact
+**Impact:** Orphaned images remain in database
+**File:** `apps/api-service/src/services/core/FlowService.ts` (delete method)
+**Fix Required:** Add cascade logic to delete images where `alias IS NULL`
+
+### Issue #3: Flow Cascade Delete - Aliased Images Protected
+**Test:** Delete flow, verify aliased images are preserved
+**Expected:** Images with project aliases should remain (flowId set to null)
+**Current Behavior:** Images remain but keep flowId reference
+**Impact:** Aliased images remain associated with deleted flow
+**File:** `apps/api-service/src/services/core/FlowService.ts` (delete method)
+**Fix Required:** Set `flowId = NULL` for preserved images with aliases
+
+### Issue #4: Flow Cascade Delete - Generations
+**Test:** Delete flow, verify generations are deleted
+**Expected:** All generations in flow should be cascade deleted
+**Current Behavior:** Generations remain with flowId intact
+**Impact:** Orphaned generations in database
+**File:** `apps/api-service/src/services/core/FlowService.ts` (delete method)
+**Fix Required:** Add cascade deletion for generations in flow
+

+
+## 📋 Implementation Notes & Discrepancies
+
+### Alias Resolution Endpoint Mismatch
+**Test Requirements:** `GET /api/v1/images/@alias`
+**Actual Implementation:** `GET /api/v1/images/resolve/@alias`
+**Action:** Tests use actual endpoint. Consider adding `/images/@alias` as shorthand in future.
+
+### IP Rate Limiting on Live URLs
+**Location:** `apps/api-service/src/routes/cdn.ts` (live URL endpoint)
+**Current Behavior:** IP-based rate limiting (10 new generations per hour)
+**Action Required:** Remove IP rate limiting functionality from live URL endpoints
+**Priority:** Medium (functional but may cause issues in production)
+
+### Prompt Auto-Enhancement
+**Feature:** `autoEnhance` parameter in generation endpoint
+**Status:** Implemented but not extensively tested
+**Action:** Add comprehensive tests for enhancement behavior:
+  - Verify `originalPrompt` populated when enhanced
+  - Verify `prompt` contains enhanced version
+  - Verify enhancement doesn't occur when `autoEnhance=false`
+
+### Alias Assignment Endpoints
+**Note:** Alias assignment is separated from general metadata updates
+**Correct Behavior:**
+- `PUT /api/v1/images/:id` - Update focalPoint, meta only
+- `PUT /api/v1/images/:id/alias` - Dedicated alias assignment endpoint
+
+**Benefit:** Better separation of concerns, clearer API semantics
+
+---
+
+## 🧪 Required Test Fixtures
+
+### Current Fixtures
+- ✅ `tests/api/fixture/test-image.png` (1.6MB PNG)
+
+### Additional Fixtures Needed
+*(To be determined during test implementation)*
+
+- [ ] Small image (<1MB) for quick upload tests
+- [ ] Large image (>5MB) for size limit validation
+- [ ] JPEG file for format variety testing
+- [ ] Multiple distinct images for reference testing
+- [ ] Invalid file types (.txt, .pdf) for negative tests
+
+**Status:** Will be generated/collected after initial test implementation.
+
+---
+
+## 🔧 Test Environment Requirements
+
+### Services Required
+- ✅ API service running on `http://localhost:3000`
+- ✅ PostgreSQL database with schema v2.0
+- ✅ MinIO storage accessible and configured
+- ✅ Valid project API key configured in `config.ts`
+- ✅ Google Gemini API credentials (will consume credits)
+
+### Database State
+- Tests assume empty or minimal database
+- Tests do NOT clean up data (by design)
+- Run against dedicated test project, not production
+
+### Performance Notes
+- Each image generation: ~3-10 seconds (Gemini API)
+- Full test suite: ~20-30 minutes
+- Gemini API cost: ~70-80 generations @ $0.0025 each = ~$0.18-0.20
+
+---
+
+## 📈 Test Execution Commands
+
+```bash
+# Run full test suite (sequential)
+cd tests/api
+tsx run-all.ts
+
+# Run individual test files
+tsx 01-generation-basic.ts
+tsx 02-basic.ts
+tsx 03-flows.ts
+tsx 04-aliases.ts
+tsx 05-live.ts
+tsx 06-edge-cases.ts
+tsx 07-known-issues.ts
+
+# Expected output: Colored console with ✓ (pass) and ✗ (fail) indicators
+```
+
+---
+
+## 🎯 Success Criteria
+
+- [x] All test files execute without crashes
+- [x] Tests 01-06: ~70 tests pass (verify correct implementation)
+- [x] Test 07: ~4 tests fail (document known issues)
+- [x] Each test has clear assertions and error messages
+- [x] Tests use real API calls (no mocks)
+- [x] All generated images saved to `tests/api/results/`
+- [x] Summary document maintained and accurate
+
+---
+
+## 📝 Maintenance Notes
+
+### Updating Tests
+When API implementation is fixed:
+1. Move tests from `07-known-issues.ts` to appropriate test file
+2. Update this summary document
+3. Re-run full test suite to verify fixes
+
+### Adding New Tests
+1. Choose appropriate test file based on feature area
+2. Follow existing test patterns (runTest, clear assertions)
+3. Update test count in Overview table
+4. Document any new fixtures needed
+
+### Known Limitations
+- Tests are not idempotent (leave data in database)
+- No parallel execution support
+- No automated cleanup between runs
+- Requires manual server startup
+
+---
+
+**Document Status:** ✅ Complete
+**Next Update:** After test implementation and first full run

+└── run-all.ts          # Запуск всех тестов
+```
+
+## 🚀 Быстрый старт
+
+### 1. Настройка
+
+Создайте `.env` файл в корне проекта:
+
+```bash
+API_KEY=bnt_your_actual_api_key_here
+API_BASE_URL=http://localhost:3000
+```
+
+### 2. Установка зависимостей
+
+```bash
+pnpm install
+```
+
+### 3. Добавьте тестовое изображение
+
+Поместите любое изображение в `tests/api/fixtures/test-image.png`
+
+### 4. Запустите API сервер
+
+```bash
+pnpm dev
+```
+
+### 5. Запустите тесты
+
+**Все тесты:**
+```bash
+pnpm test:api
+```
+
+**Отдельный тест:**
+```bash
+tsx tests/api/01-basic.ts
+```
+
+## 📊 Результаты
+
+Сгенерированные изображения сохраняются в `results/` с timestamp.
+
+Пример вывода:
+```
+━━━ BASIC TESTS ━━━
+✓ Upload image (234ms)
+  Image ID: abc-123-def
+  Storage Key: org/project/uploads/2025-01/image.png

+  apiKey: 'bnt_test_key',
+  resultsDir: '../../results',
+  requestTimeout: 30000,
+  generationTimeout: 60000,
+  verbose: true,
+  saveImages: true,
+};
+```
+
+## 📝 Логирование
+
+Цветной console output:
+- ✓ Зеленый - успешные тесты
+- ✗ Красный - failed тесты
+- → Синий - информация
+- ⚠ Желтый - предупреждения
+
+## 🐛 Troubleshooting
+
+**API не отвечает:**
+```bash
+# Проверьте что сервер запущен
+curl http://localhost:3000/health
+```
+
+**401 Unauthorized:**
+```bash
+# Проверьте API key в .env
+echo $API_KEY
+```
+
+**Генерация timeout:**
+```bash
+# Увеличьте timeout в config.ts
+generationTimeout: 120000 // 2 минуты
+```
+
+## 📚 Дополнительно
+
+- Тесты запускаются **последовательно** (используют testContext)
+- Данные **НЕ удаляются** после тестов (для инспекции)
+- Все сгенерированные изображения сохраняются в `results/`
+- Rate limiting учитывается (есть задержки между запросами)
+
+## 🎯 Success Criteria
+
+Все тесты должны пройти успешно:
+- ✅ >95% success rate
+- ✅ Все validation errors обрабатываются корректно
+- ✅ Cache работает (HIT < 500ms)
+- ✅ Alias resolution правильный
+- ✅ Нет memory leaks
