MoneyPrinter now uses a DB-backed generation queue (API + worker + Postgres in Docker) for reliable, restart-safe processing.

MoneyPrinter auto-detects ImageMagick from your PATH on Linux, macOS, and Windows. If auto-detection fails, set the executable path manually in .env, for example:
IMAGEMAGICK_BINARY="C:\\Program Files\\ImageMagick-7.1.0-Q16\\magick.exe"
Don't forget to use double backslashes (\\) in the path, instead of one.
