Subject: [PATCH] fix: improve POST payload and error reporting in compose

- Omit image field from content when no image is selected (sending
  image:[] likely fails the API's schema validation with a 400)
- Extract full axios response body in the error alert so the actual
  API error message is visible instead of just the HTTP status line
