feat(migrated): reference a catalogued image of the target project in place (#995) — takeover of #996 - #1001
Conversation
… place (#995) On flow.google.com only an `in_project` image ref is referenced in place; it was set only for images produced in the current process (#913), so `image i2i --ref <uuid>` of an image generated by an earlier invocation in the same project was refused (exit 36) and the only workaround was re-uploading it (which meets Flow's upload-terms dialog). Mark a ref `in_project` when the local catalog records it in the project being generated in, through one shared predicate (`api.image.recorded_in_project`): - CLI: `_enrich_uuid_refs(..., project_id=project.project_id)` - MCP: `_ref_meta_entry` carries the catalog's `flow_project_id` - worker: `build_image_request` compares it with the task's `project_id` No transport change: the migrated composer's existing guards still apply (searchable caption, tile present in this page's project grid, exact submit ids), so a stale or foreign catalog row fails loud instead of attaching the wrong image.

…le-ref exit change (#995) A same-project image deleted in Flow now costs up to ~90 s of grid reloads then exit 32, where it used to exit 36 at once.
… on flow.google.com (#995) MCP.md, KNOWN_ISSUES and the gflow-cli skill (both copies) still listed every image UUID ref as unported; the website mirror is regenerated.
…mes stay refused; state the #995 exception in user-facing text Council D1/D15: _ref_meta_entry is shared with the i2v frame guard, so a catalogued image with only a project id passed 'Reference Not Usable'. The project id is now added in _enrich_image_refs only (test added, red first). Council D8: the MCP image description, the exit-36 reason, the FlowHostMigratedError remediation and the USAGE exit-32 row now name the same-project catalogued UUID case.

Explanation
The implementation satisfies the coding requirements in
#995. CLI enrichment marks a catalog UUID asin_projectonly whenasset.flow_project_idexactly matches the target project. MCP metadata carriesflow_project_id, andbuild_image_requestapplies the same comparison toproject_id. Existing migrated-host caption, grid, and exact-submit safeguards remain active. Tests cover project matches, mismatches, missing project data, MCP metadata, worker conversion, i2v exclusion, and the BDD in-place path.

Use the MCP tool’s public parameter name.
gflow_generate_image accepts UUIDs through reference_images; refs is an internal queued-payload key. In this user-facing guide, “an MCP image task's refs” can lead an agent to call the tool with an unsupported argument. Say reference_images here.

Remove the blanket --project required instruction.
If a user omits --project, _resolve_project creates a scratch project for image generation. The new remediation says --project required even when the refusal concerns another option, such as Imagen 4. Limit that instruction to references that must already exist in the target project.

Restrict project metadata to image assets.
The MCP image path does not apply the AssetKind.IMAGE guard used for I2V frames. It enriches every catalogued image-task reference. A catalogued video with the target project ID can therefore become in_project in the worker and pass the migrated composer's pre-submit refusal when it has a display name. The request then reaches grid selection instead of returning exit 36.
Keep flow_project_id in catalog records for non-image assets, but only forward it as image-reference metadata for image assets.

State the caption requirement in the MCP tool description.
If a same-project catalog row has no retained Flow caption, _unported_image_form refuses its UUID before selection. This description instead tells an agent that every same-project catalogued UUID is referenced in place. Specify that the catalog must also retain a searchable caption, so agents can choose a local file when it does not.
