title: Hosted image generation providers live

scenario:
  id: hosted-image-generation-providers-live
  surface: long-tail-hosted-providers
  category: long-tail-hosted-providers.hosted-media-providers
  runtimeParityTier: live-only
  coverage:
    primary:
      - hosted-providers.image-generation-providers
  objective: Verify hosted image generation providers can generate real images through the live provider runtime sweep.
  successCriteria:
    - The QA producer runs the canonical live media image harness instead of duplicating provider assertions.
    - At least one auth-available hosted image provider runs through `provider.generateImage`.
    - Generated image output includes image MIME type and non-trivial bytes.
    - Missing live provider credentials produce blocked evidence rather than false passing primary coverage.
