+ * Generates a colorful image based on input complexity, name, and optionally the current date.

  * @param complexity - Determines the complexity of the image and the time taken to generate it.
  *                              The generation time is equal to `complexity` in seconds.
  * @param [name] - An optional name used to create a deterministic hash for the image.
+ * @param [useDateInHash] - If true, includes the current date (YYYY-MM-DD) in the hash calculation.
+ * @param [customDate] - Optional custom date to use instead of the current date when useDateInHash is true.
  * @returns A promise that resolves to a Buffer containing the JPEG image data.

  * @description
  * This function creates a 300x300 pixel image with the following characteristics:
  * - The background color is derived from the first 6 characters of a SHA256 hash.
  * - Five circles are drawn on top of the background, with colors and positions also derived from the hash.
- * - The hash is created using the `complexity` and `name` parameters, ensuring deterministic results.
+ * - The hash is created using the `complexity`, `name`, and optionally the current date, ensuring deterministic results.
  * - The function artificially delays its execution to simulate a complex operation.
