- Record session_settings + has_optional_inputs in manifest meta (run_meta_extras) so the
Dashboard "Full pass for survivors" can queue POST /config_tester/run headless; the iframe
falls through to it when the parent has no Builder / no queuePrompt.
- Exclude the deliberately omitted "vae" key from _EXPECTED_CONFIG_KEYS; test_examples asserts zero drift.
- minimize_reloads: log VAE switches + a "changed nothing" note, accurate tooltip/README wording.
- examples/README: Klein base-variant note; fix stale LTX stub comment.
- Tests: run_meta_extras, job order, state_to_configs_json, e2e full pass (new file).
