 1. **Rename field:** `enhancedPrompt` → `originalPrompt`
 2. **Change field semantics:**
    - `prompt` - ALWAYS contains the prompt that was used for generation (enhanced or original)
-   - `originalPrompt` - contains user's original input ONLY if autoEnhance was used (nullable)
+   - `originalPrompt` - ALWAYS contains user's original input (for transparency and audit trail)
 
 **Field population logic:**
 
 ```
 Case 1: autoEnhance = false
   prompt = user input
-  originalPrompt = NULL
+  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"                // Only present if enhancement was used
+  "originalPrompt": "sunset",               // Always the user's original input
+  "autoEnhance": true                       // True if prompt differs from originalPrompt
 }

+# 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

+
+---
+
+## 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
+
+---

+**Behavior:** Merges with existing aliases (does not replace all).
+
+### Remove Flow Alias
+
+```
+DELETE /api/v1/flows/:id/aliases/:alias
+```

+
+```
+DELETE /api/v1/flows/:id
+```
+
+**Cascade Behavior:**

+    }
+  ],
+  "pagination": { "limit": 20, "offset": 0, "total": 3, "hasMore": false }
+}
+```
+
+### Get Scope
+
+```
+GET /api/v1/live/scopes/:slug
+```
+
+Returns scope with statistics (currentGenerations, lastGeneratedAt).
+
+### Update Scope
+
+```
+PUT /api/v1/live/scopes/:slug
+```
+
+```json
+{
+  "allowNewGenerations": false,
+  "newGenerationsLimit": 100,
+  "meta": { "description": "Updated" }
+}
+```
+
+Changes take effect immediately for new requests.
+
+### Regenerate Scope Images
+
+```
+POST /api/v1/live/scopes/:slug/regenerate
+```
+
+**Request Body:**
+
+| Parameter | Type | Description |
+|-----------|------|-------------|
+| `imageId` | string | Specific image UUID (optional) |
+
+**Behavior:**
+- If `imageId` provided: Regenerate only that image

+
+Images are regenerated with exact same parameters. IDs and URLs are preserved.
+
+### Delete Scope
+
+```
+DELETE /api/v1/live/scopes/:slug
+```
+
+**Cascade Behavior:**
+- Scope record is **hard deleted**
+- All images in scope are **hard deleted** (with MinIO cleanup)
+- Follows alias protection rules (aliased images may be kept)
+
+> **Warning:** This permanently deletes all cached images in the scope.
+
+---
+
+## Scope Settings
+
+| Setting | Type | Default | Description |
+|---------|------|---------|-------------|
+| `slug` | string | - | Unique identifier within project |
+| `allowNewGenerations` | boolean | `true` | Whether new generations are allowed |
+| `newGenerationsLimit` | number | `30` | Maximum generations in scope |
+
+When `allowNewGenerations: false`:
+- Cache HITs still work
+- New prompts return 403 error
+
+When `newGenerationsLimit` reached:
+- Cache HITs still work
+- New prompts return 429 error

+# NOTES
+###############################################################################
+#
+# 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
