Problem
BeatDesign supports pluggable generation providers, but the 16688 Studio deployment needs an opt-in image-generation provider that can use NewAPI-compatible image generation and a configurable Gemini media gateway without changing upstream defaults.
Proposed scope
- register
16688 AI as an opt-in provider enabled only by the 16688 build mode
- support text-to-image through NewAPI and configurable Gemini media-gateway transports
- keep provider credentials server-side and encrypted in local SQLite
- preserve existing BeatAPI defaults, Canvas data, assets, generation history, and MCP behavior
- include a deployment profile for
studio.16688.org
Non-goals
- login, payments, subscriptions, credits, admin, or RBAC modules
- reference-image editing through this provider stage
- video generation through this provider stage
Implementation
A working implementation is available in PR #18. It contains 11 commits across 54 files and keeps the provider opt-in.

Credentialed/paid provider generation has not been run. Feedback is welcome on the provider boundary and whether the deployment profile should remain in the same PR.
