## TASK 1 — Image Generation Service (corsair)

**Goal:** Add image generation as a cluster capability. corsair (RTX 5070 Ti, 16 GB) registers as an image gen worker in the cAIc cluster.

### Requirements:

1. **Add `"image_gen"` capability** to the cluster protocol in `cluster.py` — valid capability values should include `image_gen`
2. **Image gen API wrapper on corsair** — run ComfyUI, Automatic1111, or a lightweight API (e.g., `sd-api` or `comfyui-api`) that exposes a simple `POST /generate` endpoint accepting a prompt and returning a PNG
3. **Proxy endpoint in cAIc** — `POST /api/image/generate` on the coordinator, routes the request to corsair's image gen service via AMQP or direct HTTP
4. **Update `hardware.py`** to probe the image gen service for reachability and status
5. **Update node_agent** to report image gen capability and service status on registration

### Architecture:

```
User prompt → cAIc coordinator → AMQP/HTTP → corsair (ComfyUI/API) → PNG → coordinator → user
```

### Considerations:

- Response time: expect 5-30 seconds per image depending on model/resolution
- Queue management: what if multiple requests come in at once?
- Model selection: which SD/Flux model to run by default?
- Resolution limits: max image size?
- CORS/headers for serving generated images back to the UI

### Tests:

- Mock image gen service, verify proxy routing
- Verify `hardware.py` probes image gen endpoint
- Verify node_agent registers with `image_gen` capability
- Verify 429/503 handling when service is busy or down

### Status: ✅ Backend Complete (ComfyUI install pending on corsair)
