Hi @harshitanagpal05! :raised_hands:

Thank you for your interest in contributing to **HELPDESK.AI** under GSSoC 2026! :rocket:

I have officially assigned you to this issue! The `analyze_image()` signature mismatch is a critical backend bug — fixing it will directly unblock image-upload functionality for all users.

### Technical Implementation Steps:
1. **Identify the signature**: Check `backend/services/gemini_service.py` — the `analyze_image()` method signature and update all call sites in `main.py` to match.
2. **Add `context_text` support**: The method should accept optional `context_text` to improve image analysis quality.
3. **Write a test**: Add a unit test that mocks `gemini_service.analyze_image()` and confirms the call signature is correct.
4. **Branch Rule**: Ensure all your commits target the `gssoc` branch, **NOT** `main`.
