Generate complete visual ebooks where EVERY page is a full-page AI-generated image (cookbooks, manga, picture books, visual guides). All text (titles, ingredients, instructions, page numbers, table of contents) is rendered INSIDE the images by GPT Image 2 — there is zero HTML text in the final book. Uses Calibre for professional KDP formatting. Output language is French by default. Use when the user wants to create a visual book, illustrated ebook, manga, comic, picture book, cookbook, children's book, or any book where images ARE the pages. Triggers on: "create a book", "make an ebook", "generate a cookbook", "manga", "picture book", "illustrated book", "visual book", "livre de recettes", "bande dessinée", "livre illustré". Do NOT use for text-only books, academic papers, or documentation.
