The hand fix's "3 tries in 4" holds for the pictures tried, not for crowds or hard poses;
its checks now compare with the enlarged redraw and look for seams, missed hands and good
hands made worse. Enlarging at the mid-way switch asks the user first when the workflow
already enlarges the picture downstream. Both ways record GPT's runs.

The hand-fix way now redraws each hand SAM3 finds by the word ("hand:8": the word alone
takes only the likeliest hand) inside its own outline before the hand detector's pass, as
the reference author does. The pass is optional: its nodes go when SAM3's node or model
(sam3.1, now in the ways' model list) is missing, with the nodes that only fed them.
Switch models mid-way says how to enlarge at the switch: a LatentUpscaleBy after the first
part, which then finishes its picture, and the second part adding noise anew. Enlarging
the leftover noise itself (the author's wiring) covered the picture in coloured blocks on
Anima at step 21 and 12. The staged-picture skill says so in one sentence.

From a picture check of the staged ways (another AI judged the pictures):
- The staged skill shows the base first so the user can pick it. With
the sampler's seed moving after each run, adding the second pass and
running again redrew a different base. The skill now says to hold the
base's seed (control_after_generate fixed) before that first run.
- Split er_sde came out grainy on two Anima models but cleanly on Nova
Anime XL (one seed each). The mid-way switch no longer says er_sde
never splits: it keeps dpmpp_2m_sde_gpu on Anima and calls it the
safe choice elsewhere. Its SDXL version ran for the first time (Nova
Anime XL to MiaoMiao Harem v2.0, step 18 of 30, 41 s on 6 GB) and is
recorded as tested.
No values changed. Full suite and structure check pass.

New way switch_midway (refine, want midway): the canvas's sampler becomes
two KSampler Advanced parts, the first on the canvas's model up to step
21, the second on a new loader from there, taking the old sampler's place
and links. On Anima it takes the tested sampling (35 steps,
dpmpp_2m_sde_gpu, beta): er_sde comes out grainy when split, even with
the same model in both parts, which the AI is told.
refine_other_model and upscale_two_models get Anima variants: a UNET
loader "like" the canvas's, reusing its text encoder, VAE and prompts; on
Anima the second-model upscale is the Tile route the user verified (1.22x
latent, LLLite 0.7, denoise 0.85, ColorMatch).
A node "like" or replacing a sampler now takes its seed as noise_seed on
KSampler Advanced and the other way round. The scene argument's
description is shorter to keep the tool list within its budget.
Ran on the isolated test ComfyUI on an Anima canvas: each way built
through add_nodes and made a picture (79 s, 148 s, 127 s on 6 GB).
