feat(ai-grok): add grok-imagine-image-2.0 support

[L4Ph]

What

Add first-class support for xAI's grok-imagine-image-2.0 model — the current generation of Grok Imagine image models — to @tanstack/ai-grok.

Agreed via a design interview (18 decisions); key outcomes:

• New model in GROK_IMAGE_MODELS + all image type maps (provider options, size, input modalities). $0.04/image, text+image → image.
• New GrokImagineImage2ProviderOptions with the 2.0-only quality option ('low' | 'medium', default 'medium'). service_tier is excluded from the 2.0 type but stays on the existing grok-imagine-image* types.
• type: 'image_url' on edit requests (single image and multi images entries), matching xAI's documented request shape and the Vercel AI SDK implementation.
• grok-imagine-image-quality deprecated in code comments + docs note (kept for backward compatibility); grok-2-image-1212 untouched.
• Docs: docs/adapters/grok.md image section now features 2.0; updatedAt refreshed.
• Tests: factory, size→aspect_ratio/resolution mapping, quality passthrough, and edit body with type: 'image_url' (single + multi). Plus a compile-time guard that generateImage() resolves per-model provider options (2.0 quality accepted, older tier rejected).
• Changeset: minor.

Second commit (test sync)

test(ai-grok): sync chat-model expectation with #1048 — bc8c5e86 (#1048) added grok-4.5/grok-4.6 to GROK_CHAT_MODELS but did not update the existing expectation test, so @tanstack/ai-groktest:lib was failing on main even without this PR. This commit updates the expected list so the suite is green. Unrelated to image support but required to keep CI green for this PR.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds grok-imagine-image-2.0 support to the Grok adapter. It registers model metadata and provider options, forwards quality and sizing fields, updates image-edit payloads, adds tests, and refreshes documentation.

Changes

Grok Imagine Image 2.0

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Model metadata and provider contracts packages/ai-grok/src/image/image-provider-options.ts, packages/ai-grok/src/model-meta.ts, packages/ai-grok/src/index.ts	Registers grok-imagine-image-2.0 with image input, image output, pricing, size mapping, response format, resolution, and quality options. Marks the older quality model as deprecated and exports the provider option types.
Image adapter integration and validation packages/ai-grok/src/adapters/image.ts, packages/ai-grok/tests/grok-adapter.test.ts	Uses the broader provider-option type, forwards model-specific settings, and adds type: 'image_url' to single- and multi-image edit payloads. Tests cover construction, sizing, quality, editing, and type resolution.
Documentation and release metadata .changeset/grok-imagine-image-2-0.md, docs/adapters/grok.md, docs/config.json	Documents pricing, editing, sizing, quality settings, and legacy model compatibility. Adds the minor release entry and updates the documentation timestamp.

3-3: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | ⚖️ Poor tradeoff

Place new unit tests alongside their source file.

This file is under packages/ai-grok/tests/, not alongside packages/ai-grok/src/adapters/image.ts. Move the added image-adapter tests to an adjacent *.test.ts file.

As per coding guidelines, **/*.{ts,tsx} requires “Unit tests in *.test.ts files alongside source”. Based on learnings, this conflicts with the repository convention that uses package-level tests/ directories; resolve the policy conflict before moving the tests.

Also applies to: 493-652
