/**
 * @deprecated **This function CANNOT deliver image-conditioned generation and
 * never could.** The Venice `/image/generate` endpoint has no reference-image
 * input (its only image conditioning is `style_references`, aesthetic-only,
 * on krea/luma models). The `referenceImages` bytes passed here are DROPPED —
 * only a text line ("Image 1: face reference for X") reaches the model, which
 * then draws the character from prompt text alone. This was the root cause of
 * storyboard character drift (verified 2026-08-11): the original doc comment
 * claimed the refs were sent in an `image` field, but no such field was ever
 * assigned and no such multi-reference field exists in the API contract.
 *
 * For real reference-conditioned drafting use `draftPanelWithReferences`
 * (src/venice/reference-draft.ts), which routes through `/image/multi-edit` —
 * the only image endpoint that accepts reference bytes (base + 2 layers).
 *
 * Retained only for the legacy `storyboard/assembler.ts` lane. Emits a
 * runtime warning on every call.
 *
 * @param client  An authenticated {@link VeniceClient} instance.
 * @param options Generation parameters plus reference images (NOT SENT).
 * @returns       The generated image as base-64 and the seed used.
