The server now keeps portable image ratio normalization, enforces documented Seedream size presets, routes MiniMax img2img through generations-style payloads, and submits Hailuo video variants through the video generations API with proper reference-image handling.
Constraint: The deployed test chain relies on popiartServer as the lowest-risk place to adapt provider-specific routing without broad newapi changes
Rejected: Expand newapi relay modes for every MiniMax image/video branch | larger blast radius than needed for the verified server-managed flows
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: moderate
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Keep MiniMax-specific media routing in popiartServer unless upstream newapi adapters are upgraded to the same contract
Tested: go test ./internal/server -run TestInferRouteKeyForModelRecognizesViduAsVideo|TestGenerate|TestResolve|TestSubmitMiniMaxVideoTask|TestExecuteImageToImageJobUsesGenerationsPathForMiniMax|TestExecuteImageToVideoJob|TestResolveVideoReferencesSupportsImagesArray
Not-tested: Full PopiNewAPI unit suite (blocked earlier by external module checksum drift in local checkout)
Direct `models/infer` image requests were defaulting to `image.text2image`, which dropped reference inputs and produced unrelated generations. Route image-edit payloads to `image.img2img`, accept canonical `image` URLs during reference resolution, and preserve reference-aware prompt hints.
Constraint: The test server must continue accepting both canonical `image` and legacy alias fields from callers already in circulation
Rejected: Fix only reference URL parsing | direct overrides would still be misrouted as text2image before reference resolution runs
Confidence: high
Scope-risk: narrow
Reversibility: clean
Directive: Any future image-model route inference must inspect input shape before defaulting to text2image
Tested: `env GOCACHE=/tmp/popiartserver-gocache go test ./internal/server -run 'TestInferRouteKeyForModelRecognizesViduAsVideo|TestInferRouteKeyForModelRecognizesImageEditInputs|TestResolveImageToImageReferenceAcceptsCanonicalImageURL|TestGenerateEditedImageRefsUsesSeedreamImagesGenerationsEndpoint'`; deployed to `101.42.99.35` and verified Seedream gateway requests include `image`
Not-tested: Full manual validation against every non-Seedream image-edit provider
