docs(21): mark Gemini image-to-image issue as resolved
- Remove Task 1 (part ordering fix) - no longer needed
- Phase now focused on unifying MD5 hashing for deduplication
- 1 task remaining

Fix Gemini nano-banana-pro model ignoring image inputs and resolve duplicate image saving across input/generated images.
Resolve duplicate image saving across input/generated images by unifying the hashing approach.
Purpose: Ensure image-to-image generation works correctly with Gemini and that the deduplication system consistently prevents duplicate files in the generations folder.
Purpose: Ensure the deduplication system consistently prevents duplicate files in the generations folder by using the same hashing algorithm everywhere.
Output: Working image-to-image generation with Gemini Pro, consistent hashing across all image saving operations.
Output: Consistent MD5 hashing across all image saving operations.
**Established patterns:** MD5 content hashing for deduplication (Phase 13)

**Issues being addressed:**
1. nano-banana-pro model generates without considering image inputs (image data sent but not used)
1. ~~nano-banana-pro model generates without considering image inputs~~ - RESOLVED (no longer an issue)
2. Input and generated images have duplicate files despite different hashes - need consistent hashing approach
2. Input and generated images have duplicate files despite different hashes - need consistent hashing approach
3. Generated images should be prepended with prompt details like generated videos
**Research findings:**
**Root cause:**
- Gemini SDK docs show that for image editing, the order matters: image should come BEFORE text in the parts array
- Current implementation sends [text, ...images] but should send [...images, text] for image-to-image
- imageStorage.ts uses position-based sampling hash while save-generation uses MD5 - these are incompatible
- imageStorage.ts uses position-based sampling hash while save-generation uses MD5 - these are incompatible
- Same image saved via different code paths gets different hashes

In generateWithGemini(), change the requestParts array construction to place images BEFORE text prompt. The Gemini SDK documentation shows image editing works with [inlineData, text] order, not [text, inlineData].
Current code (around line 59):
```
const requestParts = [
{ text: prompt }, // Text first - WRONG for image-to-image
...imageData.map(...) // Images second
];
```
Change to:
```
const requestParts = [
...imageData.map(...) // Images first - correct for image editing
{ text: prompt }, // Text second
];
```
WHY: Gemini's image generation models treat the first content type as primary input. For text-to-image, text should be first. For image-to-image (editing), images should be first so the model knows it's modifying existing images.
IMPORTANT: Only reorder when images are present. If no images, text should still be the only part.

Build succeeds with `npm run build`. Manual test: Create workflow with ImageInput → GenerateImage (nano-banana-pro) → Output, connect an image, add prompt like "make it blue", run workflow. Output should visually reference the input image.
</verify>
<done>
When images are connected to a Gemini GenerateImage node, the generated output incorporates/transforms the input image based on the prompt.
</done>

Replace the position-based sampling hash in imageStorage.ts with MD5 content hashing (matching save-generation/route.ts pattern).
