Request
# One Idempotency-Key per request, made once and sent again with every resend of it
KEY=$(uuidgen)
# 1. Submit. max_cost_usd is your cap: the most this may cost (it lists at $0.08).
# No id after a timeout, a 429 or a 5xx? Run step 1 again: the same $KEY never makes a second one.

# 2. Poll it until status is "succeeded" or "failed". A failed one is free; to try it again,
# make a new key first (KEY=$(uuidgen)): the old one answers with the failure.
