decode_latent_with_vae(vae, samples) returns a PIL image; the step passed
(pipe_latent, vae) and then treated it as a tensor. Also: undefined `meta`
(use create_image_metadata like the Florence2 branch), manifest insert(0) +
upscale_produced (no duplicate base image), and chained re-encode no longer
movedims (VAE.encode takes BHWC).
