Panel buttons run models under inference_mode like a node; bump to 1.118.1

Describe refs / Analyse / Auto prompt / target / mask preview ran the VLM and SAM in a server thread
outside torch.inference_mode(). After a workflow run those models hold inference tensors, so the
buttons failed with "Inference tensors do not track version counter". Fixes #14.

+# Click-to-Picture SAM 3.1 bindings and token weights (experimental)
+
+Requires BFSNodes **1.115.29**, a ComfyUI version with the native SAM3 nodes,
+and the ordinary H3 models used in the existing native workflow.
+
+## Workflows
+
+- [Token / word editor only](examples/h3_tara_token_weight_editor.comfy.json) ([API](examples/h3_tara_token_weight_editor.api.json)).
+- [Click selection + SAM 3.1 + token editor](examples/h3_tara_cast_sam31.comfy.json) ([API](examples/h3_tara_cast_sam31.api.json)).
+- [Same selection with native shot loop](examples/h3_tara_cast_sam31_loop.comfy.json) ([API](examples/h3_tara_cast_sam31_loop.api.json)).
+
+Update BFSNodes, restart ComfyUI and refresh the browser. This prototype has CPU
+logic/mathematical checks, **not** an end-to-end browser/GPU video validation.
+The current training process was not modified or interrupted.
+
+## Select a performer and bind Picture X
+
+1. Load the guide with VHS `force_rate=24`, `select_every_nth=1`. Connect consecutive Picture 1..N images to Select Cast. Its `references` output
+   supplies the exact same bundle to Describe References through `reference_set`;
+   there is no need to wire each image twice.
+2. Leave the selector's `setup_only` on and queue once. Downstream generation is
+   blocked while its player and reference thumbnails load.
+3. Choose a Picture thumbnail, pause/scrub the guide and click its source
+   performer. A numbered point is shown on that key frame. Ctrl/Cmd-click adds
+   positive points; Shift-click excludes a region. Each Picture uses one key
+   frame; marking it on another frame replaces that Picture's key frame.
+   Native video controls occupy the bottom strip, so choose points above them.
+4. Mark only the reference Pictures used for performer bindings. A background or
+   style Picture does not need a performer point. Marks are stored in the
+   workflow JSON. A changed video requires an explicit reset/reselection;
+   existing marks are not silently erased.
+5. Turn `setup_only` off and queue. **BFS H3 SAM 3.1 Cast Tracking** calls native
+   `SAM3_Detect`, `SAM3_VideoTrack` and `SAM3_TrackToMask`. It tracks forward and
+   backward from each chosen key frame, in chunks of at most 150 frames, retaining
+   a separate mask per Picture. Its player shows colored tracked regions and
+   the report lists empty frames. These colors are preview only.
+6. **Apply Cast Reference Bindings** connects those masks to the corresponding
+   Picture attention controls after TARA. Start at `reference_strength=1.25` and
+   `other_reference_strength=1`. It applies a regional attention adjustment;
+   it is not inpainting or pixel/background locking.
+
+The checkpoint loader expects
+`ComfyUI/models/checkpoints/sam3.1_multiplex_fp16.safetensors` from the
+[official Comfy-Org checkpoint](https://huggingface.co/Comfy-Org/sam3.1/blob/main/checkpoints/sam3.1_multiplex_fp16.safetensors).
+The workflow includes the loader and model-download metadata. No SAM 3D or
+KJ point-editor dependency is required for this selector.
+
+In the loop variant, selection/tracking is performed on the **whole loaded
+24fps video before the loop**. Apply Cast Bindings slices each track to the
+current segment, then repeats/trims its tail to the prepared H3 length. Camera
+cuts still need to be entered in Loop Start. A single point anchor does not
+solve identity tracking through arbitrary cuts or occlusion: inspect the mask
+preview and empty-frame report. Correct failed selections before relying on them.
+There is no automatic closed-loop mask repair in this version.
+
+## Inspect and weight words/tokens
+
+`Native Reference Set to Video positive → Token / Word Weight Editor → Guider positive`
+
+`TARA (and optional cast binding) MODEL → Token / Word Weight Editor → Guider MODEL`
+
+Also connect its MODEL output to the scheduler. The example uses CFG 1 and
+connects the same positive to its guider's negative socket, as before.
+
+1. Enable `inspect_only` if you want to inspect tokens without generating, then queue. This encodes conditioning and displays
+   tokens but blocks sampling. In the combined workflow, finish cast setup first.
+2. Click token chips; Ctrl/Cmd-click selects several. Double-click selects matching
+   tokenizer word/fragments, including repeated occurrences. Use **+0.1**, **−0.1**,
+   **Reset selected** or **Reset overrides**. The JSON widget stores the forces and prompt
+   fingerprint in the workflow. The supported force range is **0.05..3**; start
+   with modest changes such as **0.8 / 1 / 1.2**, using the same seed.
+3. Turn `inspect_only` off and queue to render. Editing chips does not change an
+   already running generation. If the prompt changes, reset weights rather than
+   apply old indices to new words. Up to 16 disjoint weighted ranges are supported
+   in attention mode; contiguous tokens with the same force share a range.
+
+The panel shows **real tokenizer IDs/labels linked to original prompt rows**,
+plus the original embedding L2 norm. A norm is not attention, saliency or word
+importance. This does not invert an arbitrary embedding to recover words.
+Native H3's Qwen tokenizer disables SD-style inline weights. The BFS native
+encoder now adds an optional prompt trace after encoding; visual row tags are
+checked before tracing/weighting. For another native workflow, supply its exact
+original prompt and H3 CLIP to the editor as a fallback; the caller is responsible
+for supplying the actual prompt used in that conditioning. A generic CLIP or a
+conditioning with no safe H3 mapping is rejected rather than guessed.
+
+### Two different experiments
+
+- **attention logits:** leaves the conditioning tensor unchanged. For target
+  video queries, adds `log(force)` to attention logits of the selected text keys.
+  This multiplies their **unnormalized** attention weight before shared softmax;
+  it does not multiply final probabilities by the same factor. Requires TARA
+  upstream and the editor MODEL/positive outputs to be used together. Visual
+  Qwen rows and native Picture/video latent keys receive no direct token edit.
+- **embedding magnitude:** multiplies the selected text embedding vectors by
+  their force after encoding; all other rows and metadata stay unchanged. No
+  empty-prompt subtraction or global renormalization is applied. This is not
+  claimed to reproduce the SD1.5 weighting algorithm.
+
+Contextual encoders mix meaning across tokens. Reducing one token does not
+remove its meaning from all other embeddings; strengthening a token can affect
+other attributes. Neither mode guarantees improved identity, sharpness or a
+locked background. No learned model weights or reference pixels are changed.
+
+Both token-logit weighting and active cast attention gains use **Flash Partitions**
+for this prototype, bypassing fused Kitchen one-pass. Remove Model Sparse
+Attention when using nonneutral attention controls. The normal TARA backend is
+preserved when no attention gain is active; embedding-only mode adds no attention
+policy of its own. Additional partition calls can reduce speed.
+
+The loop example defaults token weights to neutral and `inspect_only=false`.
+Manual token indices are tied to each generated shot prompt. Nonneutral index
+overrides are not automatically remapped across different loop prompts. From
+1.115.30, exact `weighted_phrases` directives can be rematched per shot (see below). Regional Picture/mask bindings do
+support the loop's full-video-mask slicing described above.
+
+## Validation boundaries
+
+Seven CPU checks cover selection validation, **mocked** SAM call ordering and
+chunk/frame coverage, loop-mask slicing/padding, tokenizer trace provenance,
+embedding/metadata preservation, attention policy cloning, example graph cycles
+and links, and exact composition of text/Picture/temporal logits against a dense
+softmax oracle. Native SAM GPU execution, browser interactions and rendered
+quality/speed still require local validation. No claim of cross-platform GPU
+validation follows from these checks.
+
+## Phrase weights in the prompt (1.115.30)
+
+The same editor now supports phrases without selecting individual token chips.
+
+**Option A — inline in the final execution prompt:**
+
+```text
+motion_transfer: Replace the performer with (the goblin from <Picture 1>:1.3). Preserve (the original background and its details:1.2).
+```
+
+Keep `parse_prompt_weights=true` on **BFS H3 Native Reference Set to Video**.
+It removes explicit `(phrase:number)` syntax **before encoding**, then attaches
+clean-text character spans to the token trace. The encoder itself does not apply
+these forces: use its positive output through **Token / Word Weight Editor**.
+Its `effective_prompt` output is the cleaned text that was actually encoded.
+Write annotations in the final execution prompt, not only in an earlier user
+request that Generate Text may rewrite/remove.
+
+**Option B — directly in the editor's `weighted_phrases` field:**
+
+```text
+(golden fur:1.3)
+(original background:1.2)
+```
+
+These are exact, case-sensitive phrases from the **already encoded** prompt.
+The editor maps them using actual tokenizer offsets; it needs no new CLIP pass.
+Standalone word edges do not match substrings inside larger words (`man` does
+not select `woman`). Every exact occurrence is weighted. A missing phrase fails
+explicitly instead of guessing. You may also paste a full annotated prompt into
+this field if its cleaned text exactly matches the encoded prompt.
+
+Both forms weight every overlapping subword token of the phrase. A token that
+crosses a phrase boundary is affected as a whole. Ordinary `(parentheses)` remain
+literal; only an explicit numeric suffix on a phrase is a weight. Timestamp
+parentheses such as `(00:03.333)` and numeric-only ratios stay literal. Escape `\(` and `\)` for a
+literal parenthesized expression that looks like a weight. Explicit nested or
+overlapping groups multiply their forces, which must stay within **0.05..3**.
+Inline and editor-field phrase weights also multiply if both select a token.
+
+The panel shows these phrase defaults. Manual per-token adjustments override the
+phrase-derived value; a manual value of 1 can neutralize an inline boost.
+**Reset selected / Reset overrides** restores phrase defaults, rather than
+removing the annotations. Clear the annotations/`weighted_phrases` to remove
+those defaults. Exact tokenizer character offsets are required for phrase
+mapping; unsupported tokenizers fail rather than apply weights to guessed rows.
+
+These forces use the editor's selected **attention logits** or **embedding
+magnitude** mode. They are not an extra simultaneous weighting stage. In a shot
+loop, phrase directives are matched afresh against each shot's encoded prompt;
+a missing phrase stops that experiment. Old manual token-index overrides still
+require resetting when a shot prompt changes.
+
+Validation added CPU checks for nested/literal/escaped syntax, Unicode offsets,
+repeated phrases and word boundaries, visual-row preservation, manual neutral
+overrides, and cleaning before the mocked native encode call. GPU quality and
+browser interaction remain pending local validation.
+
+From 1.115.30, new token nodes/workflows default `inspect_only=false` so sampling
+continues normally. Old saved workflows retain their explicit value; switch it
+off manually or load the updated file. Inspect mode now prints an explicit
+message and the examples include a native PreviewAny status output, even if the
+custom panel did not load. Repeated ~0.1s runs with no sampler can be cached
+inspection blockers, not a failed GPU compile.
+
+For older slow Qwen2 tokenizers, the mapper can construct an offset-capable local
+companion from the loaded tokenizer's vocabulary/merges and added tokens. It
+never downloads a replacement tokenizer and only accepts offsets when token IDs
+match the actual H3 tokenizer exactly. A CPU check also verified matching against
+the real local ComfyUI Qwen vocabulary; full GPU/video quality remains untested.
+
+## One workflow with optional SAM and loop (1.115.31)
+
+[Load the optional workflow](examples/h3_tara_optional_sam_loop.comfy.json)
+([API](examples/h3_tara_optional_sam_loop.api.json)). The **START HERE** options
+node has `use_sam31` and `use_shot_loop`, both OFF by default:
+
+- Both OFF: the whole loaded clip is generated in one pass; no marks or SAM checkpoint required.
+- SAM ON: enable selection/tracking and regional Picture bindings. Queue to view
+  the guide, choose a Picture and mark its performer; turn `setup_only` off and
+  queue again. Selection status now appears in a native PreviewAny and the log.
+- Loop ON: split into configured chunks/manual camera cuts, apply continuity
+  between same-take segments, and join the results. With loop OFF, chunk/cut
+  settings are ignored and there is only one segment. Very long single-pass
+  videos still need suitable VRAM; native H3's frame-count limit still applies.
+- Both ON: track the full loaded video once and slice the masks for each segment.
+
+The optional SAM loader checks its checkpoint only when enabled; disabled SAM
+branches are lazy and do not load model weights. No VAE is requested for SAM.
+The H3 video VAE remains a separate loader. Original Picture order and VLM prompt
+stages remain in the graph; the token editor is neutral and not inspect-only by default.
+
+Native H3 input settings are now stored/restored by name in the frontend helper,
+including recovery of old widget arrays that assigned a boolean to the
+`ref_image_size` combo. Its only valid values remain `match` and `max`.
+CPU checks cover disabled/lazy branches, single-pass bypass, links, and named
+widget restoration; browser/GPU validation is pending.

+# Native H3 workflow: automatic prompts and video-derived dimensions
+
+Requires BFSNodes **1.115.21+**, current ComfyUI native MiniMax H3 + Generate Text, and VideoHelperSuite. This is a standalone workflow, not Planner state. TARA remains opt-in; existing Planner defaults stay Add Guide.
+
+The examples use the **native H3 reference conditioning contract**, with public BFS glue nodes for dynamic reference sets and geometry. They are not entirely Comfy core: VHS loads the video and BFS provides preparation, per-picture analysis, template assembly, reference-set encoding and the TARA MODEL patch. There is no private `H3BenchConditioning` dependency.
+
+## Pipeline
+
+1. **VHS Load Video** decodes/resamples the selected clip to 24 fps. Its default custom width/height are zero (source dimensions), no frame cap. Set its skip/cap explicitly when you want an interval.
+2. **BFS H3 Prepare Native Video** reads the actual loaded NHWC tensor. Source dimensions determine portrait/landscape orientation; `output_scale` and `max_megapixels` determine output size, floored to multiples of 32. `reference_scale` independently reduces only the native video reference. Grid rounding may slightly change aspect ratio; this node resizes rather than adding black borders.
+3. Source frame count at 24 fps determines `length`. Default `pad last frame` repeats the last frame only to reach `17n+5`; **ImageFromBatch after decoding trims the generated result to actual source duration**. `trim tail` is an explicit alternative. Metadata preview reports source/output/reference sizes, frame count, padding and any requested cap.
+4. **BFS H3 Describe References** accepts 1..9 single images. It calls Comfy's **Generate Text** independently for each image and returns both the labelled inventory and the original image set. Reference analysis uses at most 1024px on its longest side by default; original images stay available to H3. No joint reference collage is used.
+5. Native **Generate Text 1** sees a timestamped contact sheet of up to 12 evenly spaced guide frames (adjustable 2..32) and describes only the source performance. This is sampled visual evidence, not continuous tracking or audio understanding.
+6. **BFS H3 Build Native Prompt** combines the user request, actual inventory, source observations and metadata using an editable, populated six-section H3 template. Mode fixes the required `motion_transfer:` or `body_swap:` prefix.
+7. Native **Generate Text 2** writes the final English prompt. A preview exposes the actual string. Its default budget is 3072 tokens, deterministic sampling, thinking off and MTP off. Increase the budget if a selected VLM truncates the six sections. The prompt VLM is independent of H3's text encoder; choose a generation-capable model installed locally.
+8. **BFS H3 Native Reference Set to Video** passes exactly that same image set, generated prompt and prepared `<Video 1>` to Comfy's native **MiniMax H3 Reference to Video**. It validates six nonempty sections, attached picture indices and video/frame-grid consistency. It never applies Add Guide. The separate TARA MODEL output goes to the guider/scheduler.
+
+## Adding N references
+
+The supplied visual graph starts with one connected LoadImage (Picture1); a second LoadImage is present but unconnected and marked optional. Connect additional LoadImage nodes to `ref_image_2` ... `ref_image_9` on **Describe References**. Only one connection per additional image is needed: that node returns the same set to the native encoder automatically. The inventory and template expand to the actual count. With one image, leave the default request using Picture1. If you want a background from Picture2, connect that second reference and explicitly request the scene change. The request itself must identify the intended roles; pictures do not prescribe an edit automatically.
+
+Connect consecutive slots 1..N. Gaps are explicitly rejected: the current native H3 encoder numbers references in insertion order rather than preserving numeric gaps. Rejecting holes prevents silent Picture3→Picture2 identity errors. This standalone workflow does not reinterpret the separate UI's persistent sparse slot scheme.
+
+Several reference pictures can describe a single identity, outfit or environment. Do not bind them to performers merely by count. The VLM template separates identity, outfit, scene, style and object roles and keeps the guide performance distinct. These instructions reduce ambiguity; they are not proof of correct visual bindings. Always inspect the inventory/final prompt when a result is wrong.
+
+## Size, duration and memory
+
+Defaults are source-derived output, maximum **0.4 MP**, reference scale **1.0**, and full loaded duration (`max_frames=0`). Thus resolution changes with each source; there is no fixed512×288 canvas. Use output_scale below1 or a smaller megapixel cap to reduce cost, and reference_scale0.75/0.5 only when the loss of guide detail is acceptable.
+
+The VHS loader decodes the clip before these controls run. Long/high-resolution sources may exhaust **CPU RAM** even with a small output budget. Native reference attention and frame count can exhaust **VRAM** independently of output area. Start with a short clip on a5090, use VHS frame cap/trim for large files, and use the Planner/context-window workflow for long sequences. This standalone graph does not split or stitch shots automatically. The H3 core accepts up to3600frames in its schema; that is not a feasible-memory or trained-quality guarantee. Training coverage is narrower. FPS normalization/padding can only align timestamps, not guarantee generated motion or identity.
+
+Output is silent24fps. No generated dialogue/music is inferred from visible mouth movement or piano playing. Audio conditioning and original-audio muxing require separate, aligned branches.
+
+## Models and switching modes
+
+The example uses the10500+V2 exact merged LoRA at strength1. Do not apply V2 again. Model filenames must be adapted to local inventory. Default prompt VLM is the development environment's generation-capable Qwen3VL4B; it can be replaced with a compatible installed VLM. H3 TE remains its own native encoder.
+
+TARA does not load LoRAs or perform conditioning by itself. The wrapper retains native reference video latents; no Add Guide is present. Bypassing the TARA patch gives native-reference inference without temporal alignment, not Guide Latents. For Guide Latents, use the separate guide workflow; do not silently change contracts.
+
+The default patch backend is Flash partitions. Optional Kitchen/sparse backends follow the existing TARA compatibility documentation. No GPU benchmarks or package installation occur when importing these helper nodes.
+
+## Validation
+
+CPU tests cover actual source dimensions, portrait/landscape, FPS conversion, grid trim/pad and final-duration trim count, explicit caps, independent per-image calls, ordering/gap rejection, prompt templating without recursive substitution, six-section checks and delegation of the same reference set to the native H3 encoder. Structural checks cover visual/API link consistency. These do not establish semantic caption quality or a successful5090 render. Local GPU and browser validation remain required.
+
+The policy snapshot is `h3_native_prompt_policy.json`, copied from Kagemage's shared H3 policy at implementation time. It is packaged locally, so BFS does not require the UI repo or make a network request to load rules. Keep the snapshots in sync when intentionally changing prompt policy.
+
+### Request/reference mismatch and saved workflows
+
+Version1.115.21 checks requested Picture indices **before** per-image VLM generation, lists the exact attached set in the final writer instruction, and reports available slots in errors. Older saved examples may still contain `and the entire setting with <Picture 2>` in Prepare Native Video → request. With only Picture1 connected, remove that clause (or connect the intended second image), then regenerate. Updating the plugin does not overwrite a saved user request/template. Final instructions also separate source observations from target clothing and setting; source hoodies/pants must not override the assigned reference outfit. These are instruction improvements, not a guarantee of semantic correctness.

+- **Loop Start:** default chunks of 107 source frames. Since **1.115.32**, choose
+  `segment_unit=seconds` and set `chunk_seconds` (for example, 5 seconds = 120
+  source frames), or keep `segment_unit=frames` and use `chunk_frames`. Only the
+  selected field is used. Seconds round to the nearest 24 fps source frame;
+  H3 padding is handled downstream and trimmed before joining. Old workflows
+  retain their frame-based sizes. `camera_cuts` accepts
+  comma-separated 24fps frame indices relative to the loaded clip. A cut always
+  starts a new segment. Empty means one continuous take divided into chunks;
+  **there is no automatic scene detection in these nodes**. Set VHS `force_rate`
+  to 24 and `select_every_nth` to 1. Set cuts after any loader trim/skip.
+- **Continuity:** enabled by default. After the first segment, append its last
+  generated frame as the next native Picture. All user Picture indices remain
+  unchanged. The appended instruction limits that image to appearance/scene
+  continuity while the current guide supplies movement. Disable at camera cuts
+  automatically; switch `enabled` off to disable it entirely. At most **8 user
+  images** when continuity is active (H3 node limit: 9 including the anchor).
+- **Loop End:** stores each decoded segment in the ComfyUI temp directory,
+  expands only the start-to-end body, then concatenates the segments. Model
+  loading/LoRA/TARA nodes stay shared outside the loop. Connect the final images
+  to Create Video; connect original loader audio separately. Do not add final
+  Save Video inside the repeated body.
+
+Keep Prepare Native Video's `max_frames=0` and `frame_rounding=pad last frame`.
+The example trims H3's `17n+5` padding before the join. A final segment under five
+frames repeats its last source frame internally to meet H3's minimum; Loop End
+keeps only its actual frame count. No overlap or crossfade is applied, so output
+length remains the original loaded clip length at 24fps.
+
+This is **soft native-image continuity**, not Add Guide, first-frame latent
+locking or a guarantee of seamless boundaries. TARA can remain enabled because
+no latent head/history guide is added. Continuity may still bias composition or
+propagate errors; disable it to compare. There is no performer tracking in these
+nodes: ambiguous source assignments after crossings/cuts still require suitable
+prompts or bindings.
+
+The temp manifest records the segment ranges and stored frame tensors. They are
+not durable checkpoints or an automatic restart/resume mechanism. Float image
+caches can be large; the final concatenation also uses CPU RAM. Remove the
+corresponding `temp/bfs_h3_native_loop/<session>` folder after saving the final
+video if it is no longer needed. Do not remove it while that run is active.
+
+Validation: four CPU checks cover exact frame ranges/cuts, anchor ordering and
+cut resets, short-tail trimming, actual ComfyUI GraphBuilder expansion and
+bidirectional links in the example. No end-to-end GPU render, browser execution,
+identity quality or seamlessness claim has been validated for this feature yet.
+
+## Prompt task modes
+
+Since **1.115.33**, **BFS H3 Build Native Prompt (H3 Template)** offers
+`motion_transfer`, `body_swap` and `head_swap`. Head swap uses the same six H3
+sections with a `head_swap:` prefix. It assigns reference head identity while
+preserving the source body, wardrobe, environment and performance unless the
+request explicitly includes other edits. The head-only scope is also applied to
+older saved templates. This controls prompt writing; it does not create a head
+mask, load a head-swap LoRA or guarantee localized pixel preservation.

+# H3 Reference Attention Binding (experimental, 1.115.28)
+
+A separate **BFS H3 Reference Attention Binding (Experimental)** node controls
+how strongly generated video tokens attend to each native Picture. It is an
+inference experiment, not a trained identity tracker or a proven quality fix.
+
+[Load the example workflow](examples/h3_tara_reference_binding.comfy.json)
+([API](examples/h3_tara_reference_binding.api.json)). Update BFSNodes, restart
+ComfyUI and refresh the browser before loading it.
+
+## Connect
+
+`Model + LoRA → TARA → Reference Attention Binding → CFGGuider`
+
+Also use the resulting model for the scheduler. Keep pictures/video conditioning
+on the existing Native Reference Set to Video path. Nothing new connects to the
+positive-conditioning socket. Multiple binding nodes may be chained after TARA.
+The existing loop workflow is a separate example in [Native Shot Loop](H3_NATIVE_SHOT_LOOP.md).
+
+## Controls
+
+- `enabled`: off returns the original model without adding a reference policy.
+- `picture_index`: existing native Picture number; video numbers are independent.
+- `reference_strength`: gain for that Picture. **1 is neutral**. Start with **1.25**;
+  compare 1, 1.25 and 1.5 with the same seed, prompt and all other settings.
+- `other_reference_strength`: gain for other Pictures inside the same region.
+  Start at **1**. A value such as **0.75** reduces their contribution there. This
+  also affects background or continuity Pictures, so do not lower it indiscriminately.
+- `target_mask` (optional): white selects generated-video regions where the gains
+  apply. Supply one static mask or a tracked mask for every prepared shot frame
+  at 24fps. It is a mask of the output/guide position, **not of the reference
+  photograph**. No mask means the gain applies to the whole output video.
+
+For two subjects, chain two nodes: Picture 1 with subject A's tracked mask;
+Picture 2 with subject B's tracked mask. Their masks must follow them across
+position changes and match output framing. This node does not segment or track.
+Overlapping masks combine their log gains. It does not infer subject roles from
+the prompt; the prompt's explicit identity assignments remain necessary.
+
+A whole long-video mask cannot be connected directly to a loop's short-shot
+binding without slicing/padding it to that prepared shot. The newer **Apply Cast Reference Bindings** node (1.115.29) supplies automatic
+loop-mask slicing in its [SAM 3.1 workflow](H3_CAST_AND_TOKEN_CONTROLS.md). The raw
+Reference Attention Binding node still expects a mask already matched to its shot.
+
+## Exact rule and scope
+
+For a target query inside mask weight `m` and a key belonging to Picture `i`,
+the attention logit receives `m * log(gain_i)`. Thus unnormalized weight is
+multiplied by `gain_i ** m`, before the shared softmax normalization. This is
+**not** multiplication of the reference pixels, V tensors, decoded images, or
+a promise that the final attention probability rises by that percentage.
+
+Only target-video queries to native image keys are modified. Target-to-guide
+keys keep TARA's temporal penalty; other keys and non-target queries retain their
+original rules. Picture indices remain unchanged. Soft masks are area-downsampled
+to target patch resolution and averaged over H3 latent temporal spans. The mask
+must have either one frame or the prepared `17n+5` shot length, including padding.
+
+The prototype composes reference gains with TARA through exact Flash Partitions
+and LSE merging. **While nonzero gains are active, Kitchen one-pass is bypassed.**
+Remove Model Sparse Attention for this experiment; sparse routing is not supported.
+No new binary, pip install or compile is needed for the reference-control code,
+but CUDA FP16/BF16 native FlashAttention with LSE is required. Partition overhead
+may make this slower than the fused TARA-only Kitchen path.
+
+Turning the node off, or setting both gains to 1, adds no reference policy.
+This does not disable TARA itself. The log announces `[BFS H3 reference binding]
+ACTIVE` and `using Flash Partitions` when the new policy is used.
+
+## Evidence so far
+
+CPU checks compare the composed output against an explicit dense softmax oracle,
+with and without temporal penalties, including fractional masks and unchanged
+non-target queries. Additional checks cover temporal mask reduction, invalid
+Picture/mask rejection, exact disabled/neutral bypass, model cloning, policy cache
+refresh and the original TARA partition policy. Six checks passed. No GPU video
+quality, speed, identity consistency, Windows execution or browser validation
+has been performed for this prototype. GPU training was left untouched.

+# TARA parameters, visually explained
+
+TARA encourages an output moment to consult the **corresponding moment in the native reference video**, while leaving other moments available. These four controls shape that preference. They do not replace a suitable LoRA, accurate reference bindings or a correctly aligned time grid.
+
+![Animation showing the four temporal controls](docs/illustrations/tara_parameters.gif)

+
+## Start here
+
+Use **w=0.20s, f=0.25s, λ=2.0, c=6.0** as the initial settings. Keep the seed, LoRA, prompt, source and output fixed while changing one control. More temporal pressure does not guarantee better video quality or identity.
+
+| Parameter | Plain-language meaning | When increased |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| **Free window w** (`window_seconds`), 0.20 s | Time tolerance with **no penalty**. At output time 5 s, reference times 4.8–5.2 s are inside the free window. | More nearby moments can be consulted freely; alignment becomes less selective within that band. |
+| **Falloff f** (`falloff_seconds`), 0.25 s | How gradually the penalty grows **outside** the free window. It is a scale, not a second free interval. | Suppression grows more gently; smaller values make it grow more sharply. |
+| **Strength λ** (`strength`), 2.0 | Multiplier for the temporal penalty outside the window. This is **not LoRA strength or reference-identity strength**. | Distant reference moments receive more suppression until the cap is reached. |
+| **Cap c** (`max_penalty`), 6.0 | Ceiling on the penalty. Distant moments remain available rather than being hard-masked. | A larger maximum suppression is permitted. Raising it does not strengthen already-unpenalized matching moments. |
+
+The animation's dots represent illustrative times, not the kernel's actual latent-frame sampling. The real rule acts on the packed latent timestamps. The graph is a **relative key-weight multiplier before attention normalization**, not a probability or a measurement of generated-video accuracy.
+
+## One concrete example
+
+For output time 5.0 s and reference time 5.4 s, the difference is 0.4 s. With defaults:
+
+1. The first 0.2 s is inside the free window.
+2. The remaining 0.2 s is divided by falloff 0.25 s and squared.
+3. Strength 2 multiplies it: the penalty is 1.28.
+4. This is below cap 6, so it stays 1.28. Its unnormalized contribution is multiplied by `exp(-1.28)`, about 0.278.
+
+That does **not** mean attention has a 27.8% probability of picking that frame: other logits and normalization still matter. At cap 6, the multiplier is about 0.00248, which is small but nonzero. This is why TARA is a soft preference rather than a frame-deletion mask.
+
+## Adjusting them without guessing
+
+- **Start with the defaults.** Check the whole clip, especially the ending and quick actions.
+- **Motion drifts:** first check that the correct Video 1 is selected and source/output use matching FPS, timestamps and frame windows. Stronger bias cannot repair a wrong source or shifted timeline. Only then experiment with a modest strength increase or smaller window/falloff, one at a time.
+- **The performance looks constrained or artifacts increase:** try less strength or a wider window/larger falloff. These are tuning directions, not validated quality presets.
+- **Identity/clothes drift:** inspect reference assignment, prompt, LoRA and image conditioning. These temporal controls do not directly increase identity-reference strength.
+- **Need lower memory/cost:** change motion-reference resolution separately, starting at scale 1.0. A scale 0.5 gives roughly one quarter of the reference's spatial area, not one quarter of the entire model cost. Fine motions can be lost. Output resolution, LoRA strength, reference scale and these four temporal controls are different settings.
+- **Backend selection:** Flash Partitions, Kitchen and sol-attn are execution implementations with different numerical/performance properties. Picking a faster backend does not change the meaning of w,f,λ,c or prove equivalent visual quality.
+
+## Important: zero strength is not full TARA OFF
+
+`strength=0` or `max_penalty=0` removes the temporal **bias**. The patch can still align temporal **RoPE** coordinates. For a proper native-reference TARA-OFF comparison, bypass the entire MODEL patch and route the original MODEL to both guider and scheduler, retaining the same native reference conditioning and LoRA. Switching to Add Guide is a different conditioning comparison.
+
+Kernel downloads are optional for the optimized Kitchen/Sol path; they are not the method itself. [Kernel downloads and activation](H3_NATIVE_TEMPORAL.md#kernel-downloads) · [Manual installation / using an implementation without BFS](https://github.com/alisson-anjos/comfy-kitchen/blob/feat/h3-native-temporal/MANUAL_TEMPORAL_INSTALL.md).
+
+## Em português
+
+- **Janela livre 0,20 s:** para gerar o instante 5 s, os momentos 4,8–5,2 s do guia ficam sem penalização temporal.
+- **Falloff 0,25 s:** controla a suavidade da queda fora da janela. Menor faz a penalização crescer mais rápido.
+- **Força 2:** multiplica a penalização dos momentos distantes. Não é a força do LoRA nem da identidade.
+- **Limite 6:** impede que a penalização cresça indefinidamente. Momentos distantes continuam disponíveis.
+
+Comece nos padrões e ajuste um de cada vez. A imagem mostra uma preferência temporal, não uma garantia de sincronização. Zerar força ou limite desliga só o viés; para desligar TARA inteiro é necessário remover/bypassar o patch do MODEL.
+
+## In-node temporal field monitor (1.115.23)
+
+The standalone **BFS MiniMax H3 TARA - Native Temporal Alignment (Experimental)**
+node includes an animated policy map. Change its parameters to see the free
+window, falloff and capped penalty ranges update immediately. The two axes are
+output time and guide time; a turquoise diagonal means low temporal penalty.
+The local view auto-zooms to keep the falloff visible. The horizontal scanning
+line is an illustration, **not an indication that diffusion renders frames
+sequentially**.
+
+The free range is `±window_seconds`. With nonzero strength and cap, the penalty
+reaches its cap at `±(window_seconds + falloff_seconds * sqrt(max_penalty / strength))`.
+A capped penalty is **not** a hard attention cutoff. Setting strength or cap to
+zero disables the bias, while temporal RoPE alignment remains enabled.
+
+During inference, real model-wrapper events report the evaluation number,
+backend and token counts. An evaluation is not necessarily a sampler step
+(e.g. CFG or a different sampler can evaluate more than once per step).
+Reported time is host wall time; the monitor adds no CUDA synchronization.
+The map is the applied bias policy, **not measured attention**, a decoded video
+preview, or a prediction of output quality. Changes to widgets during a running
+job affect the next queued execution; the current model keeps its queued settings.
+
+Update BFSNodes, restart ComfyUI and hard-refresh the browser. This panel is
+currently attached to the standalone TARA node, not the Planner conditioning node.
+
+From **1.115.24**, the standalone node has a **Show TARA preview** switch.
+Turning it off hides the panel, collapses its space and stops its animation.
+The choice is saved as a workflow node property; it does not change TARA or sampling.

+"""BFS Segment Picker: segment an image into objects with SAM 3.1, pick them with the mouse, get their masks.
+
+Connect SAM 3.1 from a Load Checkpoint node (sam3.1_multiplex_fp16.safetensors gives its MODEL and CLIP). The node
+segments the first image of its input automatically (one SAM 3 text prompt per concept: "person, animal" by
+default) and shows every object on a canvas in the node. Click objects to select them; the outputs are the mask of the
+selection, one mask per selected object, the image with the selection tinted (the Colored Mark convention: magenta at
+30 % marks the subject a body swap replaces) and a numbered overlay of everything found.
+
+When the automatic pass misses something, add it in the panel: type what to find (a SAM 3 text prompt, e.g. "red
+umbrella"), place keep / exclude points on it, or paint it with the brush (to grow the mark past what SAM found, e.g.
+over hair). Added objects appear at once (the panel asks the server through
+/bfs/segpick/*), and the workflow stores how each one was made, so a reload or another machine segments them again.
+
+All state lives in the hidden `selection` STRING widget (JSON):
+    {"selected": ["a3", "t1.0"], "added": [{"id": "t1", "text": "red umbrella"},
+                                             {"id": "p2", "points": [{"x": .41, "y": .62, "label": 1}]},
+                                             {"id": "b3", "image": "9f2c...", "strokes": [{"r": .02, "pts": [[.4, .3], [.45, .32]]}]}], "next": 4}
+An entry with "remove": true (r<n> points, e<n> eraser strokes) is cut out of the selection instead of added to it.
+Points are relative to the image (0..1), a stroke radius to its width. A brush entry belongs to the image it was painted
+on (`image`, see image_key): on another image it is dropped, while text and point entries are segmented again. Ids: a<k> automatic objects (left to right),
+t<n>.<k> the k-th match of a text entry, p<n> a point entry, b<n> a brush entry.

Then write these six section headers exactly once and in order: subject_definitions:, summary:, retention_analysis:, detailed_description:, overall_soundscape:, non_diegetic_music:. Return the completed prompt only, without Markdown fences, explanations or an Answer: prefix.",
+    "In subject_definitions, independently describe each referenced subject using specific visible attributes and its exact source picture labels. Define any referenced target environment separately from performer identities. Establish which guide performer each identity follows, using explicit user bindings, initial positions or visible descriptions. A color marker identifies a performer track, not a color or material to render on that performer.",

A video used only for performance guidance does not imply copying all its visible content. State all requested identity, outfit, setting and style changes without adding unrequested ones.",

Keep face, hair or fur, clothing and identity assignments consistent through movement, crossings, occlusions and any observed cuts. Do not interpret a different pose or a requested new setting as an identity failure.",

Use [Shot 1] for the opening shot; add further shots and timestamps only for cuts supported by the evidence or explicitly requested. Transfer action order, timing, head and body motion, gaze, gestures and visible mouth articulation. Retarget anatomy when necessary without inventing a new action sequence or freezing the reference pose.",
+    "When the user does not request an environment change, preserve the source video's setting throughout: retain the visible background layout, architecture, floors, furniture, surrounding objects and their spatial relationships. Ground the target scene description in the observed guide background without inventing unseen details. A background visible in an identity reference, an unassigned scene image, or motion_transfer mode alone does not authorize replacing the source environment. If a global style change is requested, restyle the existing setting while preserving its layout and content unless a setting change is also requested.",
+    "Preserve camera movement and framing by default, unless the user requests changes. Keep interaction props and contacts such as hands on piano keys, feet on bicycle pedals, held microphones and riders on horses when they are part of the requested performance. Do not swap a prop or background merely because it is near a selected character.",

Integrate subjects and preserved objects with the requested setting's perspective, lighting and shadows unless the user explicitly retains particular lighting.",

Do not add blanket instructions to preserve source realism, colors, materials, lighting or background when those contradict requested changes. Preserve only the properties assigned to the guide or explicitly requested by the user.",
+    "Write audio sections as N/A when audio is not supplied or its requested treatment cannot be established. Visible singing or piano-playing motion does not establish lyrics, notes, dialogue or an audible soundtrack. Do not fabricate sound, text overlays or subtitles. Audio reused later by the application is distinct from audio the prompt writer actually heard.",
+    "Use clear English and proportional detail. Preserve the user's language for explicitly supplied dialogue or visible text. Do not pad the prompt with repeated constraints, invent unseen physical features, claim unobserved actions between sampled frames, or promise perfect preservation. Describe colored guidance generically; do not require implementation words such as mesh, 3D reconstruction, guide latents or attention patches in the output prompt.",
+    "In the final target description, replace the requested source appearance and wardrobe with the assigned reference attributes. Guide observations may mention source clothing solely to identify a source track; do not carry that replaced clothing into the target description. Keep the summary and detailed_description consistent. A character reference's still pose and neutral background are not instructions to freeze the action or replace the setting.
