Submit a durable job


JOB_JSON=$(curl -sS -X POST \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $HYDRACEPT_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "context": {
      "productId": "my-product",
      "projectId": "cpr_...",
      "environment": "development"
    },
    "input": { "prompt": "cute slime icon" },
    "execution": { "executionPreference": "automatic" },
    "idempotencyKey": "demo-1"
  }' \
  https://api.hydracept.com/v1/capabilities/image.generate.v1/jobs)

echo "$JOB_JSON"
JOB_ID=$(printf '%s' "$JOB_JSON" | python -c "import sys,json; print(json.load(sys.stdin)['jobId'])")
