In Haystack 2.16.0, the foundations of image support have been integrated. #8976

Research direction
Start by reviewing the image-support work in #8976 and the existing Chat Generators and Embedders implementations. Identify which listed components still lack image support and the relevant tests; done means the remaining applicable components accept image inputs without regressing existing text use cases.
