fix: cap openai-image-gen --count at 16 to prevent runaway API spend

[cubic-dev-ai]

Summary

• Adds a hard MAX_COUNT = 16 limit to the openai-image-gen skill's --count argument
• Validates count is within 1–16 range with clear error messages before any API calls are made
• Documents the count limit in SKILL.md

Problem

The bundled openai-image-gen skill accepted an arbitrary --count and, for GPT image models, turned it directly into that many sequential calls to the OpenAI Images API with no upper bound. Only dall-e-3 had a guard (capped at 1). A bad prompt, mistaken slash command, or automation bug could trigger a large batch of paid image generations causing unexpected spend.

Changes

• skills/openai-image-gen/scripts/gen.py: Added MAX_COUNT = 16 constant and validation that exits early with an error if --count < 1 or --count > MAX_COUNT
• skills/openai-image-gen/SKILL.md: Added note documenting the count cap under "Other Notable Differences"

Test plan

• Build passes (pnpm build)
• Python syntax check passes
• Test suite passes (803/804 files; 1 pre-existing unrelated failure in models-config test)
• Pre-existing lint issue (unrelated pi-tool-definition-adapter.ts) — not introduced by this change
