Feature Request: Image Generation Support for Web Projects

It would be extremely helpful if codex CLI could leverage GPT-4o’s image generation capabilities to automatically create images for web projects during development.

Details:
When working on a website, developers often need placeholder or final images for elements such as banners, product photos, icons, or hero sections. Instead of manually sourcing or designing these assets, it would streamline development if codex could generate relevant images based on short natural language prompts directly in the CLI or through a codex web assets command.

Proposed Behavior:
• When in a web project context, codex can offer an optional --generate-images flag or similar.
• The CLI can ask the user what type of images they need (e.g. “a modern tech product banner”, “a clean login form illustration”, etc.)
• GPT-4o would then generate and save the images into the project’s assets or images directory.

Why This Matters:
This feature would significantly reduce friction for solo developers, designers, and prototypers by eliminating the need to switch tools or hunt for royalty-free images. It aligns with codex’s goal of speeding up the development lifecycle using natural language interfaces.
