The app has shown an "Image Generation (coming soon)" placeholder while the SDK
has shipped RunAnywhere.images.generate/generateStream and RCLI has had a working
sd15 row. This closes that gap on the Apple side — one catalog row, one screen.

The catalog row is what retires the placeholder

SimplifiedModelsView already hides the placeholder the moment a real
.imageGeneration family registers, so no view change was needed for that — the app
was built for this. It only needed an honest row.

.nestedDirectory is load-bearing here. The published zip extracts to one
directory holding TextEncoder/Unet/VAEDecoder/VAEEncoder/SafetyChecker
.mlmodelc plus vocab.json and merges.txt, all at that single level — exactly
find_nested_directory()'s one-level descent. .directoryBased would hand the engine
the extraction root, where it would find no models at all. (Note the repo tree is laid
out as split_einsum_v2/compiled/, a different shape from the zip and easy to confuse
with it.)

The result is raw RGBA, not a PNG

rac_diffusion_result_to_proto stamps image/raw-rgba because every shipped diffusion
engine emits raw bytes. Image(data:) and UIImage(data:) both fail silently on that
buffer
— a blank result card, no error — so the decode goes through CGDataProvider,
covered by a test that also checks a truncated buffer is rejected rather than read past
its end.

Swift's ImageData drops the proto's mediaType, so this assumption is currently
checked by size rather than declared. Worth surfacing in a later SDK release; not worth
destabilising an in-flight one.

Cross-platform on purpose

Generation takes no image input, so unlike Segmentation and Vision there is no
PhotosPicker and no UIImage: Image(decorative: CGImage, scale:) and the
design-system surface tokens both work on macOS, and the screen is not UIKit-gated.
The Vision Utilities section keeps its #if canImport(UIKit) around Segmentation alone.

Adding the picker context deliberately forces the empty-state vocabulary —
ModelStatusComponents keeps that copy on the context "so a new modality cannot be
added without deciding what its first run says" — and fills both non-exhaustive switches
in ModelSelectionSheet, where image generation joins the single-model catalogs that
skip the org drill-down.

Validation

xcodebuild test -scheme RunAnywhereAI -destination 'iPhone 17 Pro'
** TEST SUCCEEDED **     23 passed, 0 failed

swiftlint                141 violations before, 141 after — none in the new files

xcodebuild build -scheme RunAnywhereAI -destination 'platform=macOS,arch=arm64'
** BUILD SUCCEEDED **

The macOS build is there on purpose: the claim above is that this screen is cross-platform,
and compiling only for the iOS simulator would not have tested it.

Not yet run: the model itself through this screen. The 1.57 GB download and a real
denoise on device is the next check, and the archive structure above is the seam most
likely to bite. The generation path itself is proven — the same model runs end-to-end
through RCLI on this hardware.

The app has carried an "Image Generation (coming soon)" placeholder while the
SDK has shipped `RunAnywhere.images.generate/generateStream` and RCLI has had a
working `sd15` row. This closes that gap on the Apple side.

## The catalog row is what retires the placeholder

SimplifiedModelsView already hides the placeholder as soon as a real
`.imageGeneration` family registers, so no view change was needed for that --
only an honest row.

`.nestedDirectory` is load-bearing and easy to get wrong. The published zip
extracts to ONE directory holding TextEncoder/Unet/VAEDecoder/VAEEncoder/
SafetyChecker `.mlmodelc` plus vocab.json and merges.txt, all at that single
level -- exactly find_nested_directory()'s one-level descent. `.directoryBased`
would hand the engine the extraction root, where it would find no models. (The
repo TREE uses split_einsum_v2/compiled/, a different shape from the zip.)

## The result is raw RGBA, not a PNG

`rac_diffusion_result_to_proto` stamps `image/raw-rgba` because every shipped

SILENTLY on that buffer -- a blank result card, no error -- so the decode goes

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to bbe34

This PR adds on-device image generation and downloads a compiled model package from a mutable upstream location without a pinned revision or checksum, which could change generated output or safety behavior if that artifact changes; replacing an active generation can also let stale cancellation state affect a newer request. These bounded risks should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging.

Line 188 adds catalog-selection policy to a SwiftUI View. Put this policy on ModelSelectionContext or a view model, then let the view render the result.

Avoid reloading the selected model.

For .imageGeneration, ModelSelectionSheet loads the selected model before invoking onModelSelected, and the callback calls loadModelFromSelection again, re-entering the SDK load path after every successful selection. Since a ready model takes a fast path in SDK 0.20.32, this is redundant registry and lifecycle work; call refreshModelStatus() from the callback instead.

CodeRabbit caught a real, reachable race. `generate()` cancels the running task
and immediately starts a replacement, but a cancelled Task keeps running until
it next suspends -- so the OLD task resumes, hits `catch is CancellationError`
and its `defer`, and sets `statusMessage = "Cancelled."` and
`isGenerating = false` while the REPLACEMENT is still denoising. The screen
falls back to an idle Generate button mid-generation.

Reachable through the UI: Generate is replaced by Cancel while running, so the
double-tap path is closed, but Cancel-then-Generate is not.

Fixed with a generation id. Every state write from a superseded task is dropped,
`cancel()` bumps the id too, and the stream loop breaks when it stops being
current. Both tasks are @mainactor, so this was never a data race -- just wrong
state.

Also moved the guidance-scale bounds onto the view model beside `stepRange`.
They are a generation constraint, and having one of the two inline in the view
was inconsistent. The event `switch` moved into its own method: the id guards
pushed `runGeneration` to cyclomatic complexity 11 against a limit of 10, and
splitting it reads better than raising the limit.

Not taken: the suggestion to call `refreshModelStatus()` instead of
`loadModelFromSelection` in the picker callback. The observation is correct --
`ModelSelectionSheet.handleModelLoadSuccess` loads before invoking the callback,
so this is a second load -- but commons short-circuits it
("Model already loaded, skipping duplicate load", lifecycle_manager.cpp:295),
and every other feature in this app uses the same callback shape. Diverging in
one screen would read as an oversight for no user-visible gain.

Thanks — worked through all three.

Cancellation race (ImageGenerationViewModel:108) — valid, fixed. Reproduced the reasoning: a cancelled Task keeps running until it next suspends, so the superseded task's catch is CancellationError and defer set statusMessage = "Cancelled." and isGenerating = false while the replacement is still denoising. The double-tap path is actually closed (Generate is replaced by Cancel while running) but Cancel-then-Generate is not, so it is reachable. Fixed with a generation id: superseded tasks drop every state write, cancel() bumps it too, and the stream loop breaks once it stops being current. Both tasks are @MainActor, so this was never a data race — just wrong state.

Guidance bounds (ImageGenerationView:93) — partly taken. 1...15/0.5 are generation constraints and stepRange already lived on the view model, so having one of the pair inline was inconsistent — moved. I left the layout/alpha/format values inline: SegmentationView and the rest of Features/ use literals the same way, and introducing tokens in one screen only would diverge from the surrounding code rather than converge on the guideline.

Double load (ImageGenerationViewModel:90) — correct observation, not taken. ModelSelectionSheet.handleModelLoadSuccess does call RunAnywhere.models.load before invoking onModelSelected, so this is a second load. But commons short-circuits it — lifecycle_manager.cpp:295, "Model already loaded, skipping duplicate load" — so it is a no-op rather than a 1.57 GB reload, and every other feature in the app uses this same callback shape. Changing one screen would read as an oversight for no user-visible gain.
