+#!/usr/bin/env python3
+"""Generate card art through the Codex backend's image_generation tool.
+
+Why this route: the Codex CLI authenticates a ChatGPT account and talks to
+`chatgpt.com/backend-api/codex/responses`, which accepts the `image_generation`
+tool. That means no OpenAI API key and no per-image billing — the ChatGPT plan
+covers it. The same token gets 401 (missing scopes) against api.openai.com, so
+this is the only door.
+
+The model must be the one Codex itself uses (`gpt-5.6-sol`). Any other name comes
+back "not supported when using Codex with a ChatGPT account", which reads like a
+model problem and is really an entitlement one.
+
+Usage:
+    python3 tools/gen_art.py shell-01 roots-02        # specific cards
+    python3 tools/gen_art.py --realm shell            # a whole realm
+    python3 tools/gen_art.py --all                    # the deck
+    python3 tools/gen_art.py --all --out cards/art2   # somewhere else
+
+Writes <out>/<id>.png at 1024x1536 (exactly the deck's 2:3), and records the
+prompt actually used in <out>/prompts-used.json so a run is reproducible.
