Refined image quality and size parameter handling for high-resolution AI image generation, specifically for OpenAI-compatible APIs.

Achieving stable 2K/4K image generation by explicitly mapping user-facing 'size' (aspect ratio) and 'quality' (resolution tier) to precise pixel dimensions for backend API calls, ensuring consistent high-resolution output across diverse OpenAI-compatible services.

The current ambiguity in 'size' and 'quality' parameters for AI image generation leads to inconsistent high-resolution output, particularly with OpenAI-compatible proxy services. Users expect 'quality' to directly correlate with resolution (e.g., 4K), not just a qualitative descriptor. The propos...
