 ## Prompting playbook
 
@@ -220,10 +248,10 @@ Condensed from Google's official Nano Banana prompting guide. Core rule:
 - **Model text.** When the model returns a caption/explanation (mostly Gemini 3 **Pro**), it's surfaced as `text` in the result metadata.
 - **`google_search: true`** grounds the image in live Google Search (current events, weather, real data — great for infographics). The result metadata includes `grounding` with the `queries` run and the `sources` (`{uri, title}`) used. (`gemini_interact` surfaces `grounding.queries` — the Interactions API returns no clean source list.)
 - **`search_types`** (`gemini_interact` only): `["web_search", "image_search"]` picks the grounding search types (setting it implies `google_search`). **`image_search`** (gemini-3.1-flash-image only) pulls web images via Google Image Search as *visual* references — useful for real-world subjects (a specific butterfly species, a landmark, a product). ⚠️ Two catches: Google ToS require **displaying the returned `grounding.search_suggestions` HTML chips** to the user, and image_search won't depict real people from web images.
-- **`video_url`** (a public YouTube URL, on `gemini_generate_image` / `gemini_interact`) generates an image from a video reference — **requires a Flash model** (e.g. `model: "gemini-3.1-flash-image"`). For a **local video file**, use **`video_path`** instead: the file is uploaded to the Gemini Files API (streamed from disk, 2 GB max), waited to `ACTIVE`, and referenced by its `files/…` uri. The result metadata echoes `video_file` (`{uri, name, expires}`, ~48h retention) — reuse that uri as `video_url` in later calls to skip re-uploading.
