These controls change how a compatible preset executes. Their tier, scope, modes, and artifacts come from the same gateway contract used to validate submissions.
exact_image_sizeUses a bounded quality search and final filesystem verification. Success guarantees size_bytes <= max_bytes; an unsatisfied constraint fails the job.
moderationVisual moderation with report-only or fail-closed enforcement modes.
blockreportprivacy_redactionPreview for still images only. Explicitly detects and obscures requested face, license-plate, or scene-text regions. Video and animated-image redaction are not available. Automated detection still requires human review for regulated use.
smart_cropContent-aware saliency crop for cover renditions; this is not face detection.
