Generates static visual content across 20+ formats, blog headers, technical and architecture diagrams, frameworks, taxonomies, timelines, comparisons, stat cards, comics, icons, wallpapers, D3 charts, Mermaid diagrams, using Flux and Nano Banana Pro (Gemini 3 Pro). <!-- public PR #2009, @jbmml --> Every request routes through a named intent that encodes the technique and palette, then calls `Generate.ts` with `--intent=<name>` plus model/size/output flags, and `Generate.ts` itself enforces that the intent was followed. Output defaults to $LIFEOS_DOWNLOADS_DIR (default ~/Downloads/ when unset) unless `--output` names another path, so every intent passes `--output` into a working directory outside Downloads (§ Output staging). Blog headers run with `--thumbnail` to ship both a transparent inline PNG and an opaque listing thumbnail on the page ground (`ArtConfig.json` thumbnailGround); the site builds its social card separately ([References/BlogHeaders.md](References/BlogHeaders.md)).
