+# Changelog
+
+All notable changes to **ComfyUI-BFSNodes** are documented in this file.
+
+## [1.120.0] - 2026-11-10
+
+### Added
+- **BFS H3 Image Character Swap Conditioning**: native H3 Image conditioning and automatic still-image prompts. The guide is Picture 1; red, blue and green references are Pictures 2, 3 and 4. Supports normal maps, DWPose, overlays and outlines. Requires ComfyUI 0.45.0 or later.
+- **Add Guide for MiniMax H3 Image (BFS)**: experimental frozen guide reference aligned to the target image positions through a cloned ModelPatcher. Uses native H3 Image latents without an audio stream.
+- **Video Segment Picker**: optional `point_model` input and MolmoPoint-8B tracking method. Connect the loader from ComfyUI-Molmo2-H3.
+- Protected-object selections, a normal-map-inside-mask mode with feathered edges, translucent overlays and colored outlines.
+
+### Fixed
+- Bound picker mask caches by memory size, keep cached masks as boolean tensors and preserve existing masks when filling empty stretches.
+- Track empty stretches and nearest-anchor windows instead of repeatedly recomputing the full clip.
+- Correct SAM inference tensor handling for point edits, rendering invalidation, normal-map lazy input requests and Apply fix messages.
+- Stabilize compare preview sizing; expose memory cleanup after comparison.
+
+## [1.119.5] - 2026-11-09
+
+### Changed
+- **BFS Video Segment Picker (`BFSVideoSegmentPicker`)**: Restored the classic Molmo2 full-video text tracking as the default, with the current SAM 3 tracking available in a dropdown.
+- Added repair scopes for one frame, the active frame onward, recomputing all frames, and filling only empty masks. Filling empty masks is the default and preserves existing non-empty results.
+- Preserve the last propagated preview while adding selections, disable auto-propagation by default, and hide the manual eraser in the video picker while retaining SAM-guided remove points.
+- Shortened the package description to fit Comfy Registry metadata validation.
+
+## [1.119.4] - 2026-11-09
+
+### Added
+- **BFS Video Segment Picker (`BFSVideoSegmentPicker`)**:
+  - **Automatic Unmarking / Subject Limiting (`max_subjects`)**: Added `"max_subjects"` parameter (`["auto", "1", "2", "3"]`, default `"auto"`). In `"auto"` mode, the node dynamically inspects the execution workflow graph (`prompt`) to count connected reference pictures (`picture_N`) on downstream conditioning nodes (e.g. `BFSH3KeyframeConditioning`). If only 2 pictures are connected, Subject 3 (`3 · green`) is automatically excluded from tracking, masking, and hybrid guide rendering, preventing unmatched green skeletons or normal maps from reaching MiniMax H3.
+  - **One-Click Subject Clear (`✕`)**: Added a clear button `✕` on each subject badge (`1 · red`, `2 · blue`, `3 · green`) in the UI header. Clicking it instantly removes all picks for that subject across all frames and triggers auto-propagation.
+  - **Explicit Text Tracking (`molmo_descriptions`)**: Added optional `"molmo_descriptions"` multiline input (line $k$ = Subject $k$). When provided, Molmo2 tracks using the exact text descriptions across camera cuts and shots instead of guessing from low-resolution crops, avoiding tracking errors.
+
+---
+
+## [1.119.3] - 2026-11-09
+
+### Changed
+- **BFS Video Segment Picker (`BFSVideoSegmentPicker`) & BFS H3 Character Swap Conditioning (`BFSH3KeyframeConditioning`)**:
+  - Limited selectable subjects and reference pictures to 3 (`1 · red`, `2 · blue`, `3 · green` / `picture_1`..`picture_3`) to match the 3-subject training distribution of the Normal Map and DWPose Character Swap LoRAs.
+
+---
+
+## [1.119.2] - 2026-11-09
+
+### Fixed
+- **BFS H3 Character Swap Conditioning (`BFSH3KeyframeConditioning`)**:
+  - Added runtime VRAM estimation and peak activation patching (`_patch_vram_estimate`) onto the `MiniMaxH3` model instance so ComfyUI accounts for `minimax_keyframes` (`guide_video`), `minimax_refs` (`Picture 1`–`Picture 4`), and `cross_attn` tokens when computing `minimum_memory_required`, and releases intermediate `q, k, v` and `h` buffers early in `DiTBlock` / `Attention` without modifying ComfyUI core.
+  - Cleared cached DWPose detector/pose sessions (`global_cached_dwpose`) safely in `_free_gpu()` without triggering lazy-import errors on unrelated modules in `sys.modules`.
+- **BFS Video Segment Picker (`BFSVideoSegmentPicker`)**:
+  - Separated multi-subject DWPose guide rendering into two passes (erase all subject regions to neutral gray first, then draw all subject skeletons on top) so overlapping gray regions of adjacent/hugging subjects never erase each other's skeletons.
+  - Added per-frame DWPose matching exclusion (`exclude`), relaxed overlap fallback (`min_inside=0.25`), and neighbor-frame pose fallback (`±2` frames) so closely interacting subjects do not lose their skeleton on intermediate frames.
+
+---
+
+## [1.119.1] - 2026-11-09
+
+### Fixed
+- **BFS Video Segment Picker (`BFSVideoSegmentPicker`)**:
+  - Prevented subjects picked on later frames from being falsely propagated or re-anchored onto other people in earlier frames before `first_pick`.
+  - Restricted Molmo2 tracking (`molmo_relocate`) to search strictly forward from `first_pick` (`image[first_pick:]`), highlighting the selected person on the initial frame (`t=0.0s`) and dims background distractions.
+  - Added visual candidate verification (`molmo_verify_candidate`): compares the reference person crop (`Picture 1`) against each candidate person crop (`Picture 2`) with Molmo2, checks RGB/chroma histogram similarity (`person_color_sim`), and rejects candidates that overlap masks already claimed by other subjects (`claimed_at`).
+  - Bounded backward SAM 3 tracking before `first_pick` to the immediately preceding strip frame (`prev_strip`) with frame-to-frame spatial (`IoU >= 0.15`), non-overlap, and color continuity checks.
+  - Enforced `gc.collect()` and `mm.soft_empty_cache(True)` when freeing GPU models after segmentation/tracking.
+- **BFS H3 Character Swap Conditioning (`BFSH3KeyframeConditioning`)**:
+  - Added `_free_gpu()` to explicitly unload `MiniMaxH3TEModel_` (15 GB) and `MiniMaxH3VideoVAE` (5 GB) and flush the CUDA cache after `MiniMaxH3ReferenceToVideo` and `MiniMaxH3AddGuide`, preventing partial-unload VRAM retention and CUDA OOM when `MiniMaxH3` (20 GB) starts sampling.
+
+---
+
+## [1.119.0] - 2026-11-09
+
+### Added
+- **BFS Video Segment Picker (`BFSVideoSegmentPicker`)**:
+  - Interactive multi-subject (1–4) SAM 3.1 video segmentation and shot-by-shot propagation with automatic camera cut detection.
+  - Optional Molmo2 re-anchoring across camera cuts and lost stretches, with per-shot and per-subject caching.
+  - Interactive timeline scrubber displaying per-frame subject coverage and lost stretches.
+  - Hybrid guide video output supporting `normal map`, `openpose + face` (DWPose skeleton + face landmarks over neutral gray), and texture-free styles (`flat color`, `shading`, `blur`, `pixelate`, `gray detail`, `edges`).
+  - Configurable `pose_region` (`convex hull` or `person outline`) and `pose_gray_opacity`.
+- **BFS H3 Character Swap Conditioning (`BFSH3KeyframeConditioning`)**:
+  - Unified conditioning node supporting `keyframe pins`, `normal map guide`, and `DWPose guide` modes with up to 4 reference pictures (`Picture 1`–`Picture 4`) mapped to red, blue, green, and yellow subject marks.
+- **Keyframe & Loop Helpers**:
+  - Added `BFSKeyframePlanner`, `BFSKeyframeMarks`, `BFSTrackFromFrame`, `BFSWorkflowLoop`, `BFSXYSweep`, and `BFSFrameLoop`.
+
+---
+
+## [1.118.1] - 2026-11-07
+
+### Fixed
+- **Panel Server Routes**: Wrapped interactive panel button model executions under `torch.inference_mode()` to match standard ComfyUI node execution.
+
+---
+
+## [1.118.0] - 2026-11-04
+
+### Added
+- **BFS Segment Picker (`BFSSegmentPicker`)**: Added interactive brush strokes, negative/remove points, and eraser mode on the segmentation canvas.
+
+---
+
+## [1.117.0] - 2026-11-03
+
+### Added
+- **BFS Video Compare (`BFSVideoCompare`)**: Added current-frame PNG download button in the comparison UI and automatic PNG output when comparing single images.
+
+---
+
+## [1.116.0] - 2026-11-03
+
+### Added
+- **BFS Segment Picker (`BFSSegmentPicker`)**: Interactive SAM 3.1 object picker canvas with automatic concept detection, text search, and point prompts.

+# 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
+

+- **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.

+> **Experimental:** TARA - Native Temporal Alignment is opt-in. The Planner default remains aligned guide (Add Guide). Existing saved workflows keep their chosen mode.
+
+# Experimental H3 native temporal alignment
+
+Matches ai-toolkit branch [`feat/h3-native-temporal-motion`](https://github.com/alisson-anjos/ai-toolkit/tree/feat/h3-native-temporal-motion), implementation `native_temporal_v1` (commit e0ecf3a). This mode retains a native video reference, aligns its temporal RoPE coordinates with the target, and softly penalizes target queries attending to distant guide times. It preserves native image-reference coordinates and native spatial geometry. It does not add learned weights or load a LoRA.
+
+Existing Add Guide motion-transfer LoRAs were trained under a different conditioning contract, but the step-10500 example below shows useful transfer to this native temporal mode. This is an experimental observation, not a guarantee for every LoRA. CPU math/routing tests alone do not validate video quality.
+
+## Video comparison: an Add Guide-trained LoRA with native temporal alignment
+
+[**Play the synchronized side-by-side video**](https://github.com/alisson-anjos/ComfyUI-BFSNodes/raw/refs/heads/feat/h3-native-temporal/docs/media/h3_native_temporal_comparison.mp4)
+
+All six columns play together in one 15-second video, starting at the beginning of each supplied export. From left to right:
+
+1. Original guide.
+2. Step-10500 motion-transfer LoRA + native temporal alignment, with guide scale **1.0**.
+3. The same step-10500 LoRA + native temporal alignment, with guide scale **0.5**.
+4. The same step-10500 LoRA + guide latents / Add Guide.
+5. The same step-10500 LoRA + native reference, without the temporal patch.
+6. Base model + native reference, without a LoRA or temporal patch.
+
+The temporal columns are labeled **NEW**. The footer includes the character and setting reference thumbnails extracted from the supplied exports. The user confirmed that all supplied runs used the **same seed**. At guide scale 0.5, character appearance remains consistent in the reviewed samples, but some source poses are reproduced less closely than at 1.0 (for example, the raised-arm gesture around 3.7 seconds). Other generation settings were not fully captured in the exports.
+
+**Apparently, a LoRA trained with guide latents can also work with this new native temporal method.** In this example, the step-10500 Add Guide-trained LoRA follows the source poses and camera framing with the temporal patch, while maintaining the reference dog's white T-shirt and jeans through the sampled beginning, middle and end. Its Add Guide result also follows the performance. Native reference without the temporal patch preserves the character more successfully with this LoRA than without it, but reproduces the choreography less closely. The base native-reference result loses the reference T-shirt.
+
+A plausible explanation is that the LoRA's learned appearance and motion-transfer behavior can be reused through shared model weights, while the runtime patch supplies temporal correspondence through native reference attention. This example does not isolate that mechanism experimentally or establish universal compatibility. The temporal mode still uses native video-reference latents; it does **not** inject Add Guide latents.
+
+**The reported identity drift concerns the separate, fresh native-temporal LoRA at step 750, not the step-10500 LoRA shown here.** The 750 checkpoint is not included in this comparison. Comparing those checkpoints would also compare different training histories and training durations.
+
+The requested background replacement is partial: source architecture and layout remain mixed with the new street reference. The seed is confirmed equal by the user, but these supplied exports do not include complete prompt and configuration metadata, so this is a qualitative demonstration rather than a controlled benchmark. Pixel difference and PSNR against the guide cannot rank replacement quality when character and background changes are intentional. The 30 fps comparison export does not establish the model's generation frame rate.
+
+## Standalone native workflow
+
+1. Load the native MiniMax H3 base and the native-temporal LoRA.
+2. Pass the guide as `<Video 1>` to **MiniMax H3 Reference to Video**, alongside any number of identity reference pictures supported by that native node. Picture and video numbering are independent.
+3. Place **BFS MiniMax H3 Native Temporal Alignment (Experimental)** on the MODEL path, after LoRA loading. Route its MODEL output to your guider/sampler. Keep Reference to Video's positive and AV latent outputs connected normally.
+4. Select `motion_video_index = 1` (or the actual `<Video N>` supplying motion).
+5. Use the same 24 fps frame window for guide and output. H3 may trim frame counts to its supported cadence; use a matching valid count such as 107.
+
+Do not add Add Guide, first-frame guides, VSA, SLA, or unknown attention/block replacements. Model Sparse Attention with sol-attn is experimentally supported from 1.115.14; see its limitations below. The official Model Attention Backend node is supported from 1.115.13; see the Kitchen section below. The node raises a clear error for incompatible layouts and temporal lengths instead of silently stretching motion. Source video audio is supported by native packing but is not temporally biased by this patch. For CFG paths, every conditioning branch evaluated by the patched model must retain the native motion reference; an empty negative branch without references cannot provide its timeline. Training preview uses CFG 1.
+
+## Planner
+
+In **BFS Shot H3 Conditioning** (Advanced or Simple), choose:
+
+```text
+guide_mode = native temporal alignment (experimental)
+```
+
+Connect MODEL from your LoRA loader to the conditioning node, then connect the conditioning node's MODEL output to the guider. Advanced keeps its existing output order. Simple appends MODEL after positive/latent/prompt; old links keep their indices. Reload older nodes or recreate them if the new socket does not appear.
+
+The shot is encoded as native `<Video 1>`, with identity pictures unchanged. The patch is applied separately to the returned model for each shot, and the current shot's packed temporal grid is used at sampling. Use 24 fps, first_frame none, mask_guide off and continuity off. Full-frame or ordinary native generation masks may still be used; masks do not create a temporal guide. Colored source overlays are retained if enabled, but color/mesh datasets have not yet been validated with this fresh experiment.
+
+The Planner option uses the training defaults. To tune the policy manually, instead choose the ordinary `native reference video (Video 1)` conditioning mode and place the standalone node on the model path. Never install both patches on the same model path.
+
+## Exact policy
+
+Only target-video query to selected-motion-video key edges receive:
+
+```text
+score -= min(strength * (max(abs(t_target - t_guide) - window_seconds, 0) / falloff_seconds)^2, max_penalty)
+```
+
+Defaults: strength 2.0, window 0.20 s, falloff 0.25 s, maximum penalty 6.0. Set strength 0 to test temporal RoPE alignment alone. Bypass the node to test fully native baseline. Text, image references, target self-attention, reference audio, and token-refiner attention retain their normal behavior.
+
+As of 1.115.11 the default backend is **flash partitions (no compile)**: it uses native CUDA FlashAttention with log-sum-exp outputs, positive partition merging and bounded frame chunks. No dense S×S bias tensor or torch.compile is used in this backend. CUDA FP16/BF16 and PyTorch's native FlashAttention-with-LSE primitive are required. The original compiled FlexAttention remains selectable for comparison. Start with model compilation/malloc graph optimizations disabled until validated on your local ComfyUI build.
+
+Runtime confirmation:
+
+```text
+[BFS H3 native temporal] native_temporal_v1: <Video 1>, ... motion rows; temporal RoPE aligned; soft window=0.2s strength=2.0 cap=6.0; images remain native; Add Guide OFF
+```
+
+This log confirms the patch ran, not that visual motion or identity quality is correct.
+
+## Validation
+
+Tests compare an audited native ComfyUI layout with positions exported by the actual training implementation, including image references and reference audio. They verify original conditioning/layout immutability, temporal-length rejection, attention score math/output shapes, token-refiner fallback, per-model routing and incompatible patches. Planner tests verify native-video conditioning and returned MODEL routing. The user has since reported completed RTX 5090 model evaluations; the timings and limitations are documented in the illustrated explanation. Full visual-quality validation remains incomplete. The active training process is not restarted or modified by this source change.
+
+
+## Performance changes in 1.115.11
+
+See the [illustrated Flash Partitions explanation](docs/H3_FLASH_PARTITIONS.md) for attention scope, derivation, log-sum-exp merging, measurements and limitations.
+
+The temporal rule and RoPE policy are unchanged. For motion keys, the modified softmax weight is decomposed exactly as `exp(-cap) + (exp(-penalty) - exp(-cap))`. The first term is ordinary attention over all motion keys. The positive correction is zero for distant times and can be computed with short per-frame batches. Non-motion keys keep weight one. All partitions are recombined with their log-sum-exp normalizers. This is not a hard temporal window or sparse approximation. BF16 partition merging has normal floating-point rounding differences; the small CUDA comparison against SDPA measured relative output error 0.00452.
+
+A synthetic long-sequence benchmark on RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell / PyTorch 2.12.0+cu130, 107126 tokens, 8 heads, head dimension 128 measured approximately 0.628 s for original FlexAttention, 0.422 s for Flash partitions and 0.327 s for unmodified native FlashAttention. Training was running concurrently, so these are indicative isolated-kernel timings, not whole-model inference results or RTX 5090 speed guarantees. Small sequences have additional partition-launch overhead and can favor FlexAttention. No full-model GPU generation is claimed here.
+
+Standalone node: `attention_backend` selects the implementation. Planner conditioning: `native_temporal_backend` selects it. Neither setting loads a LoRA or changes its weights. Defaults select Flash partitions; choose `flex (original)` for an A/B comparison.
+
+Planner `native_guide_scale` defaults to 1.0 for compatibility. Try 0.5 on VRAM-constrained GPUs: it reduces only the motion-reference spatial dimensions (about four times fewer guide tokens), keeping all timestamps/frames, output dimensions and identity images unchanged. This changes the visual detail supplied by the guide and must be evaluated for quality. In standalone workflows resize only the motion video before Reference to Video to get the same effect.
+
+The console logs the first attention's input shape and completion time and the first two full model evaluation times. If attention is fast but a full model evaluation remains slow, investigate model loading/offload and the remaining blocks rather than assuming compilation. These timings synchronize CUDA at those diagnostic points only. The active training code and its backend are unchanged.

+## Kernel downloads
+
+**Recommended:** update BFSNodes **main, 1.115.22+**, restart ComfyUI, select Kitchen/sol-attn for TARA and let the node download the matching library **and Python API**. A standalone binary file is not the complete extension. The driver must support **CUDA 13**; PyTorch itself may use CUDA 12.x.

+Confirm the fused path in the sampling log: **`Kitchen ONE-PASS dense kernel ACTIVE`** or **`Kitchen ONE-PASS sol kernel ACTIVE`**. A successful render without this message does not confirm the fused kernel ran; the slower compatibility path may have been used. These published files passed compilation/ABI checks, not GPU workflow validation on every listed card. The separate Flash Partitions backend does not require this extension.
+
+For manual Linux or Windows installation, follow the [step-by-step manual guide](https://github.com/alisson-anjos/comfy-kitchen/blob/feat/h3-native-temporal/MANUAL_TEMPORAL_INSTALL.md). It also explains the native H3 integration required when not using BFS. Verify downloads against SHA256SUMS in the release and never rename a different architecture's binary to make it appear compatible.
+
+## One-pass native Kitchen kernels (1.115.16)
+
+**From 1.115.22, BFS selects a pinned one-pass extension automatically for Linux x86_64 SM80/86/89/90/100/120 and Windows x86_64 SM86/89/120, with a driver supporting CUDA 13.** It downloads a fixed release into ComfyUI’s user cache, verifies embedded SHA256 hashes and ABI/architecture, and activates it in that execution. No pip install, package replacement or sampling-time compilation is required. Other systems retain the compatibility backends or can use an explicitly built manual overlay.
+
+For an explicit installation or source build, use the [Kitchen fork's setup guide](https://github.com/alisson-anjos/comfy-kitchen/blob/feat/h3-native-temporal/H3_NATIVE_TEMPORAL_KERNELS.md). The [experimental nine-binary release](https://github.com/alisson-anjos/comfy-kitchen/releases/tag/temporal-native-0413d43878606425a84aa400f1e5da50ed9dcdad) is available, including SHA256SUMS, so sampling need not compile anything. RTX 5090 shares SM120 with the tested RTX PRO 6000, but full video behavior/performance on the 5090 still requires validation. The installer adds a separate temporal module/library while preserving ordinary Kitchen's `_C` and operators. Source builds use `nvcc` explicitly; no per-shape torch.compile is used.
+
+Keep the existing MODEL wiring and native temporal guide mode. Model Attention Backend's Kitchen choice selects native dense when available. Model Sparse Attention's sol-attn choice selects native Sol during its eligible sparse window; its dense fallback retains the temporal policy too. No new UI switch is required. Console confirmation:
+
+```text
+Kitchen ONE-PASS dense kernel ACTIVE
+Kitchen ONE-PASS sol kernel ACTIVE
+```
+
+Both kernels evaluate the same query-dependent bounded temporal penalty inside their native score/softmax work. Dense INT8 quantizes once and runs one attention launch, using exact constant-tile shortcuts plus per-score handling at mixed boundaries. Sol preprocesses/routes/consumes once with the penalty fused into its exact consumer. All conditioning keys remain exact for Sol, and its remaining video keys retain the usual sparse/pooled approximation. Sol still has its normal multi-kernel stages: "one pass" means one attention pipeline, not literally one CUDA launch total. The streaming QKV producer remains bypassed by the current BFS integration.
+
+Synthetic isolated BF16 attention `[1,56,42836,128]`, 22 latent frames, 7,062 guide rows; RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell, PyTorch 2.12.0+cu130, Kitchen 0.2.35, concurrent training, one warmup plus one timed evaluation:
+
+| Backend | Seconds |
+| --- | ---: |
+| Flash Partitions | 0.4232 |
+| Kitchen dense, earlier frame-wise path | 0.5413 |
+| **Kitchen dense, one-pass kernel** | **0.2463** |
+| sol-attn, earlier frame-wise path | 2.6752 |
+| **sol-attn, one-pass kernel** | **0.2163** |
+
+These are not full-model/video or RTX 5090 timings. Full video speed can still be limited by offloading and other work. INT8 and Sol are approximate, so these measurements do not establish visual quality or dense-equivalent output.
+
+GPU checks covered FP16/BF16, partial frames/tiles, nonuniform timestamps, zero strength/cap, the real BFS dense/Sol entry points and different policies on concurrent streams. Dense relative output norm error versus FP32 was approximately 1.2–1.6% in small cases; Sol with every key exact approximately 1.1–1.4%. Native one-pass Sol versus the same native pipeline repeated per frame differed by at most about 0.0022% in those initial cases. Each BFS bridge made one native API call. [Recorded diagnostics](docs/benchmarks/h3_onepass_temporal_kernels.json) and the Kitchen fork's source document the scope. Full ComfyUI generated-video validation remains pending.
+
+The sections below retain the earlier compatibility implementations and measurements for comparison. The active training process/backend is unchanged.
+
+## Automatic first-use setup (1.115.17)
+
+Choose Kitchen or sol-attn normally and run the native temporal node. On supported Linux/Windows x86_64 / NVIDIA architectures in the matrix below / CUDA-13-driver systems, it prepares the extension during node execution when the model's load device is known, before sampling. A lazy fallback can prepare it on the first attention call too. The ordinary Flash/Flex path does not request an installation.
+
+The default cache is `ComfyUI user directory/bfs/h3_temporal_kernels/`; standalone use falls back to `~/.cache/bfsnodes/h3_temporal_kernels/`. Only the pinned Python API (~10 KB), the matching platform/GPU library (~2.1–3.4 MB), LICENSE and NOTICE are downloaded. The OS, architecture, release hash and ABI select the cache; Linux libraries and Windows DLLs are never substituted for one another. The implementation writes to its own cache, not `site-packages`, and leaves ordinary Kitchen's `_C` untouched. Existing compatible manual overlays are preferred.
+
+Security/correctness properties: immutable source commit and embedded hashes; bounded download sizes; temporary downloads replaced atomically only after SHA256 validation; native ABI and GPU architecture checks before Python entry-point execution; thread/process installation locks; one setup attempt per device/cache location per process. An incomplete, incompatible or offline first installation logs its reason and retains the previous backend. A verified cache works in a new process without network access. No model, prompt or reference data is uploaded.
+
+Expected console messages:
+
+```text
+First-use setup: downloading verified Linux SM89 one-pass extension (3.2 MB). No compilation or pip install.
+Verified Linux SM89 one-pass extension ready: ...
+Kitchen ONE-PASS dense kernel ACTIVE
+# or: Kitchen ONE-PASS sol kernel ACTIVE
+```
+
+The addon activates without a second restart during that first workflow. Restarting ComfyUI is still required after updating BFS's own Python code. `BFS_H3_TEMPORAL_AUTO_INSTALL=0` disables automatic setup; `BFS_H3_TEMPORAL_CACHE_DIR=/path/to/cache` chooses another cache location. For a failed setup, restart to retry or use the manual installer linked above. Unsupported systems do not trigger an automatic source build.
+
+The original SM120-only release passed a real first-use download, ABI check, and dense/Sol GPU calls. This does not GPU-validate the newer multi-architecture binaries. A separate fresh process with network requests deliberately disabled reused the verified cache successfully. [Recorded first-use/offline checks](docs/benchmarks/h3_temporal_auto_setup.json).

BFS uses the reviewed local [pinned manifest](h3_temporal_binaries.json), not an unverified remote latest-release lookup. The [CI workflow](https://github.com/alisson-anjos/comfy-kitchen/blob/0413d43878606425a84aa400f1e5da50ed9dcdad/.github/workflows/temporal-windows.yml) rebuilds/publishes per-commit experimental assets on relevant source changes; adopting a new release requires updating BFS's pin.
+
+All nine asset sizes/hashes were independently checked; all six Linux ABI/arch exports were loaded without kernel execution. A real SM89 Linux download, checksum, ABI check and Python-API import also passed with CUDA disabled: [record](docs/benchmarks/h3_temporal_matrix_setup.json). CPU fixtures cover Windows DLL selection, driver lookup and locking; these do not replace a real Windows/GPU workflow test. Old SM120 numerical/timing results are not validation of every new binary.
+
+The NVIDIA driver must support CUDA13 even if PyTorch uses CUDA12.x. Linux needs a compatible glibc/libstdc++ runtime; Windows may need the Microsoft Visual C++ runtime. A missing driver/runtime, incompatible ABI, unsupported GPU/OS or download failure logs the reason and keeps the compatibility backend; no pip install, system-library replacement or compiler launch is attempted. Frame-wise Kitchen fallback can be slower; Flash Partitions remains a separate explicit selection. ARM, macOS and AMD are not covered by these CUDA prebuilts.
+
+Examples: SM89 covers RTX40 and RTX6000Ada; SM120 covers RTX50 and RTXPRO6000Blackwell; A6000 is SM86. A card name containing “6000” does not identify one architecture.

+The official **Model Attention Backend** node is now recognized automatically. Select **comfy kitchen attention** there and route its MODEL through native temporal conditioning to the guider. Its official PyTorch selection is also accepted. Unrelated attention overrides remain incompatible. Model Sparse Attention with sol-attn is supported separately from 1.115.14, as documented below. The runtime MODEL wrapper recognizes a supported dense selection applied before or after the temporal patch; keep only one temporal patch on the path.
+
+With Kitchen selected, the console reports `backend=comfy kitchen (experimental)`. You can also explicitly select this backend in the standalone node or Planner conditioning. Without an upstream Kitchen selection, the existing default remains Flash Partitions. If ComfyUI itself falls back from unavailable Kitchen to PyTorch, the temporal patch does not claim Kitchen was selected. A supported selection from Model Attention Backend takes precedence over the BFS backend selector.
+
+This backend calls `comfy_kitchen.int8_attention(attn_mask=...)` directly. Each target latent frame's spatial queries share one broadcast key bias. Non-target queries use ordinary Kitchen attention, while target-to-guide scores receive the same bounded temporal penalty as the original rule. Native temporal RoPE alignment remains active. It uses no Add Guide injection, no partition log-sum-exp, and no full sequence-by-sequence bias allocation: bias storage is `latent_frames * packed_rows`. It retains full-key attention, not sparse attention. Multiple frame calls can repeat Kitchen quantization work, so compatibility does not imply acceleration.
+
+Initial isolated tests on an RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell with PyTorch 2.12.0+cu130 and comfy-kitchen 0.2.35:
+
+- CPU tests compare the frame-wise policy against the dense mathematical oracle, including zero strength/cap and unchanged non-target queries. Routing tests cover automatic detection of the official dense node.
+- A real CUDA BF16 test at `[1, 2, 1248, 128]` measured relative output norm error **0.01506** against the FP32 oracle, with finite outputs. INT8 quantization is approximate; this is not a visual quality measurement.
+- At `[1, 2, 42836, 128]`, 22 latent frames and 7,062 guide rows, one warmed evaluation measured **0.1043 s Kitchen** versus **0.01739 s Flash Partitions**. This initial Kitchen path was slower. The test used two heads rather than H3's full 56, with concurrent training; these are diagnostics, not end-to-end or RTX 5090 timings. No speed claim or default-backend change follows from this result.
+
+The active training backend is unchanged. Full ComfyUI video output and local performance still require validation. Version 1.115.14 adds a separate experimental sol-attn compatibility path below; SLA and VSA remain unsupported.
+
+## Model Sparse Attention: sol-attn compatibility (1.115.14)
+
+Use **1.115.15 or newer**: 1.115.15 fixes recognition when ComfyUI loads `nodes_sparse_attention.py` under its extensionless absolute file path instead of a dotted module name. The regression test uses extracted official node factories under that loader name.
+
+**This is an experimental compatibility implementation, not a speed optimization.** It automatically recognizes the official **Model Sparse Attention** node with `method = sol-attn`, keeps native temporal RoPE alignment and applies the temporal score penalty through Comfy Kitchen's `sol_attn(key_bias=...)`. The runtime banner identifies `backend=sol-attn frame bias (experimental)`; an `sol-attn ACTIVE` line confirms a sparse call actually ran. Dense windows can use the previously selected dense temporal backend, and the first attention log identifies that actual backend.
+
+Suggested MODEL wiring:
+
+```text
+LoRA loader -> Model Attention Backend (optional dense fallback)
+            -> Model Sparse Attention (sol-attn)
+            -> BFS native temporal node / Shot H3 Conditioning -> guider
+```
+
+The official dense and sparse selections are detected, including owned H3 hooks when a later dense node hides the sparse override. Unrecognized replacements still raise an error. `tau`, `extra_tokens`, `start_percent`, `end_percent`, `dense_blocks` and `min_tokens` retain their sparse-node meanings. Outside eligible sparse calls, the bounded temporal rule still runs through the dense temporal backend. SLA and VSA are rejected.
+
+ComfyUI's usual H3 sparse producer hooks would bypass BFS's temporal score modification. BFS therefore bypasses **only the hooks owned by that exact official sol-attn patch**, in a per-evaluation options copy, and performs attention through its temporal override. Other model clones and unrelated block hooks are not removed. This compatibility path does not retain the native sparse producer's streamed QKV memory optimization.
+
+The public sol-attn kernel currently accepts equal-length Q/K/V and a **key-only** bias; it does not accept the query-dependent temporal bias in one pass. BFS runs one unbiased full-sequence pass for non-target queries, then one full-sequence pass per target latent frame with that frame's key bias, retaining only its target query rows. All conditioning keys are forced into sol-attn's exact branch, since its pooled branch does not honor `key_bias`. This exact-conditioning requirement takes precedence over `sink_conditioning = off`. Other video keys retain sol-attn's routing/pooled approximation. Bias storage is compact `latent_frames * packed_rows`, but sequence computation is repeated `latent_frames + 1` times when the temporal penalty is enabled. This is not equivalent to dense attention and can be substantially slower than Flash Partitions.
+
+Measured diagnostics with PyTorch 2.12.0+cu130, comfy-kitchen 0.2.35, RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell, and concurrent Swap Anything training:
+
+| Packed shape | Flash Partitions | sol-attn frame-wise compatibility |
+| --- | ---: | ---: |
+| `[1, 2, 42836, 128]` | 0.01742 s | 0.1604 s |
+| `[1, 56, 42836, 128]` | 0.4191 s | 2.6490 s |
+
+Both tests used 22 latent frames, 7,062 guide rows, one warmup and one timed evaluation per backend. They measure isolated attention, not full video generation or an RTX 5090. **The initial full-head implementation was about 6.3 times slower; Flash Partitions remains the recommended default.** A fast one-pass implementation would require extending the sparse kernel with query-dependent temporal bias, not merely enabling the existing node.
+
+CPU tests validate the temporal policy against the dense oracle, official-node recognition, owned-hook isolation and dense-window fallback. A CUDA random-input test at `[1, 2, 1248, 128]` produced finite output. Forcing all keys exact gave relative output norm error 0.01332 against FP32; the ordinary tau=1.3 sparse/pooled version gave 0.46068 on those random inputs. The latter is a substantial numerical difference, not evidence of visual quality or a universal model error. Real H3 video quality still requires evaluation. Diagnostics are recorded in [the initial sol-attn benchmark data](docs/benchmarks/h3_sol_temporal_initial.json).
+
+Neither this feature nor its tests change the active training backend.

+# 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.

+## Video context in CLIP with aligned guide latents
+
+Select **aligned guide + CLIP video context** in **BFS Shot H3 Conditioning**
+(or its Simple variant). Qwen receives only the CURRENT SHOT as `<Video 1>` at
+2 fps with real timestamps, using the same shot interval passed to Add Guide.
+It does not receive the full source video on every shot. The original shot frames
+provide visual context even when source blur modifies the aligned latent guide.
+Images retain their `<Picture 1>` through `<Picture N>` order and native image
+reference latents. Planner and the new standalone node allow up to 100 pictures
+(the Comfy autogrow capacity); available model context and memory can limit this.
+The original H3 node keeps its own unchanged input limits.
+
+The shot itself enters the diffusion model only as aligned `minimax_keyframes`
+through Add Guide; the new mode does not create a native `minimax_refs` video block
+for it. Its Qwen embeddings still travel in `positive`. Explicitly enabling the
+separate native masked-region video reference adds that as `<Video 2>`.
+
+For a native workflow, use **MiniMax H3 Reference to Video — Guide 0 CLIP Context
+(BFS)** in place of **MiniMax H3 Reference to Video**:
+
+1. Connect your source guide to **guide_video_0**, and pictures to `ref_images`.
+   `0` identifies the input's special role; its prompt token is `<Video 1>` because
+   H3 numbers video tokens from 1. Only this guide is CLIP-only.
+2. Optional `ref_videos` remain ACTUAL native video references, receiving both Qwen
+   encoding and native reference latents. With guide 0 connected they are
+   `<Video 2>`, `<Video 3>`, `<Video 4>`; without it native numbering starts at 1.
+   Up to 3 actual reference videos are available, as in the original node.
+3. Connect the returned `positive` and target `latent` to **MiniMax H3 Add Guide**,
+   with the SAME guide frames, VAE and `frame_idx = 0`.
+4. Feed Add Guide's `positive` and the target `latent` to your sampler.
+
+Video inputs use the native 24-fps convention, are trimmed to the requested target
+length, and round down to the native 17*k+5 frame grid. There is no separate 15s
+hard cap in this helper; practical context/memory and checkpoint training limits
+still apply. Native reference soundtracks remain paired to their `ref_video_N`
+input, not to guide 0. Supply guide audio through Add Guide.
+The helper resizes only the guide frames sampled for Qwen and never VAE-encodes
+that guide as a native video reference. Images, actual reference videos and audio
+retain the native implementation. Target latent starts empty; Add Guide supplies
+aligned motion. The BFS mode performs the context and aligned-guide steps
+internally; Shot Join only assembles/composites the generated outputs.
+
+Example: `<Subject 1> comes from <Picture 3> and follows the blond performer in
+the yellow shirt in <Video 1>. <Subject 2> comes from <Picture 1> and <Picture 2>
+and follows the orange-haired performer in the white shirt in <Video 1>. Keep
+these assignments through crossings and occlusions.` A picture need not mean a
+separate person; multiple images can define one identity, and there can be N
+assigned subjects/reference assets within the available context.
+
+Existing modes and defaults are unchanged. Qwen encoding cost and text context
+length increase. Checkpoints trained with `guide_latent_only` did not see the
+source video in Qwen: this is an experimental inference option, not a demonstrated
+identity-binding improvement. GPU and visual validation remain for the user's
+local workflow.
+
+
+### Guide sampling rate and console evidence
+
+`clip_video_fps` is available on both BFS conditioning variants and the Guide 0
+node. Default is 2 fps; range is 0.5–24 fps, capped to the source frame rate
+without duplicating frames. It changes guide sampling in Qwen only, not the
+aligned guide, output fps, or native reference-video sampling. Try 4 or 8 fps
+against 2 fps with the same shot, prompt, references, seed and sampler settings.
+Native H3 timestamps are retained; higher sampling rates are an experiment, not
+a guarantee of stronger identity binding.
+
+Console messages with `[BFS H3 CLIP context]` report the input/used frame count,
+requested/effective fps, sent RGB frames, dimensions and first/last timestamps.
+A second message confirms that the tokenizer actually emitted H3 video vision
+blocks; an incompatible CLIP fails explicitly rather than silently ignoring the
+video. The final message appears only after Qwen encoding returns, with elapsed
+time and conditioning shapes. Qwen can pad an odd sample count to pairs.
+These logs confirm the conditioning path ran, not visual quality.
+
+Compare `aligned guide (Add Guide)` against `aligned guide + CLIP video context`
+with all other settings fixed to assess whether video context changes the result.
+Use a fresh sampler execution (Planner cached renders may otherwise return old
+results); the CLIP-context logs only appear when conditioning actually executes.
+Compare 2/4/8 fps separately to isolate the sampling-rate effect.

+`concepts` (default `person, animal`); add what it missed with **Find** (a SAM 3 text
+prompt) or with keep / exclude **points**. Outputs: the selection's mask, one mask per
+selected object, the image with the selection tinted (`mark_color` at `mark_opacity`,
+magenta at 0.3 by default, the Colored Mark convention), a numbered overlay and the
+objects as JSON. The selection and the added objects are saved with the workflow and
+segmented again on load.

+- `openpose + face` — erased to gray (`pose_region`: convex hull or person outline,
+  `pose_gray_opacity`) and drawn as its DWPose skeleton with the eyes and the mouth
+  opening (connect `pose_keypoint`: DWPose Estimator with body, hands and face);
+- texture-free alternatives: flat color, shading, blur, pixelate, gray detail, edges.
+
+`hybrid_grow` sets the margin around each subject; `hybrid_base` stacks pickers.
+`free_after` unloads the models from the GPU when the node is done (default: all).
+
+**BFS H3 Character Swap Conditioning** — `mode`:
+- `keyframe pins`: the source video plus one Add Guide per edited keyframe at its own
+  frame (`keyframes` + `keyframe_spec` from BFS Keyframe Planner, or `keyframe_N` /
+  `time_N`). `keyframe_until` drops the keyframes (or every guide) below that sigma on
+  the returned `model`.
+- `normal map guide` / `DWPose guide`: the Video Segment Picker's `hybrid` as the guide.
+
+Pictures 1–4 are the references in color order; the prompt is written from the mode
+and the number of Pictures (or `prompt_override`). Outputs: model, positive, latent,
+prompt, keyframe_video and `pictures` (the Pictures as a list, e.g. for BFS Video
+Compare's `reference`).
+
+Also: **BFS Keyframe Planner** (choose the keyframe frames on the video and export
+them with their spec), **BFS Keyframe Marks** / **BFS Track From Frame (SAM 3)** (a
+tracked person's mask at each keyframe), **BFS Workflow Loop** (run a part of the
+graph once per item, injecting the item and changing widgets per iteration),

+### MiniMax H3 Image character swap
+
+Requires **ComfyUI 0.45.0+** and the H3 Image model, image VAE and matching text encoder.
+
+Use **BFS H3 Image Character Swap Conditioning** with the Picker's single-image `hybrid` as `guide_image`. Connect character references in red, blue and green order. The generated prompt treats the guide as **Picture 1** and the characters as **Pictures 2–4**. Connect `positive` and `latent` to the sampler; the node also outputs the prompt for inspection. Normal map, DWPose, translucent overlay and outline guides are supported.
+
+**Add Guide for MiniMax H3 Image (BFS)** is an optional experimental alignment step. Connect the model, positive conditioning, native image latent, image VAE and marked guide; use its returned MODEL and positive with the sampler. It aligns the guide's frozen reference positions to the target canvas. It does not use the video/audio Add Guide latent format. Structural checks passed; visual equivalence to a video-trained guide LoRA is not guaranteed.
+
+For **MolmoPoint-8B** in Video Segment Picker, connect `point_model` from the loader in [ComfyUI-Molmo2-H3](https://github.com/alisson-anjos/ComfyUI-Molmo2-H3), select `MolmoPoint-8B` in `propagation_method`, and use **Apply fix** with the desired repair scope. SAM 3 still produces the masks.

+# 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)

GitHub's source view does not execute HTML. [Static diagram](docs/illustrations/tara_parameters_poster.png) · [Technical report](https://github.com/alisson-anjos/ai-toolkit/tree/tara-h3-v0.1.2/research/tara-h3).
+
+## 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.

+Idea from Akatz's H3 Relay windowed edit and Ethanfel's ComfyUI-MiniMaxH3-Context-Loop (both GPL-3.0); this is an
+independent implementation. A guide keyframe marked ``anchor = "history"`` is packed like any H3 guide, then its rows
+are kept at the target's origin and everything else on the target timeline (the video, its audio, the other guides)
+moves forward by the history's span. Text and reference rows are untouched.

+The layout is patched in memory only (ComfyUI files are never edited), once, and only changes layouts that carry a
+history keyframe; when ComfyUI's own H3 layout already understands history anchors the patch stands down.

+  - "translucent overlay guide": the source video with each subject's mask tinted in its color at the Picker's
+    mark_opacity, so the original pose and motion remain visible under the tint.
+  - "outline guide": the source video with a thin colored contour inside each subject's mask; the scene and held
+    objects remain visible.
+The marked guides come from BFS Video Segment Picker (`hybrid` output). The Pictures are native references and the

+"""BFS Keyframe Planner: pick keyframe times on the guide video, drop in edited frames and reference pictures.
+
+The node shows the guide on a small player with a timeline (frames come from its last run: queue it once to load
+them). "+ Keyframe" marks the current frame; each keyframe card holds the source frame and, optionally, the edited
+frame for that time (drop an image on the card or upload it). Reference pictures (up to 4) are dropped or uploaded in
+the node too, or connected as inputs.
+
+Two ways to use it:
+  - with edited frames: wire keyframes + keyframe_spec + pictures into BFS H3 Keyframe Swap Conditioning;
+  - without: use it to choose the times; source_frames are the original frames there, ready for an image edit
+    (e.g. Segment Picker + the Qwen 2.1 magenta body swap), and the edits come back into the conditioning node.
+
+All state lives in the hidden `plan` STRING widget (JSON), saved with the workflow:

+"""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}]},

+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.

+"""BFS Shot Noise: the sampler's starting noise, with optional structure. Every option is off at 0, and with all of
+them off the output is exactly ComfyUI's RandomNoise for the same seed.
+
+What can be shaped (the video part of the latent only; the audio noise is always plain):
+  seed per shot      same for every shot / increment / random per shot / overrides (as BFS Shot Seed)
+  shared_base        the COARSE pattern of the noise (block averages on a fixed grid) comes from a base seed instead
+                     of the shot's seed; the fine detail stays the shot's own. The coarse pattern decides layout and
+                     who the subject becomes in the first steps, so shots of one video (or re-rolls of one clip)
+                     agree on it. The grid is defined in blocks, not in latent cells, so the same base seed gives the
+                     same coarse pattern at any resolution, and along the timeline it is one long tape: a shot reads
+                     the part at its own position, whatever its length.
+  distribution       gaussian (default) / laplacian / student-t / uniform, all at unit variance
+  spectrum_tilt      1/f^alpha spectrum: more (or less) energy in the large blobs ("fractal" noise)
+  pyramid            coarser layers of noise added on top
+  static_share       a part of the noise that is the same in every frame (temporally correlated noise)
+  guide_structure    outside the mask, a little of the guide video's own latent is mixed into the noise, so the
+                     background starts closer to the guide; inside the mask the noise stays free (no pull toward
+                     the original person)
+  ref_tint           inside the mask, the noise leans toward the reference picture's average latent (its colours)
+
+All mixes keep the noise at unit variance (a*signal + sqrt(1-a^2)*noise, block means replaced by block means of the same
+variance). The model was trained on plain noise: small values, and compare with 0."""

+# Flash Partitions for H3 native temporal alignment
+
+Flash Partitions is an inference implementation of BFS's bounded temporal attention rule. It retains the native video reference and the same temporal RoPE alignment, while evaluating the biased attention through native FlashAttention calls and stable partition merging. It requires no new learned weights and no per-score `torch.compile` kernel.
+
+**Scope:** this is an experimental backend, not a claim of universal acceleration or identity preservation. The equations are equivalent in real arithmetic; FP16/BF16 implementations are not bit-identical. Dense attention still has quadratic work in sequence length.
+
+## 1. What receives the temporal bias?
+
+H3 packs text, reference pictures, native motion-video latents, audio and output-video latents into one sequence. Only **output-video queries consulting the selected motion video's keys** receive our temporal penalty. Image-reference coordinates remain native, as do the guide's spatial coordinates. The guide's temporal RoPE origin is aligned to the output clock before attention.
+
+![Attention scope: only output queries attending to the motion video receive the temporal score penalty.](illustrations/h3_temporal_attention_scope.png)
+
+The matrix above is illustrative, not a measured attention map or actual token-count distribution. Color shows the multiplier of an **unnormalized** softmax weight, not the final attention probability. All keys remain available. Gray edges retain their original score rule; their final normalized probabilities can still change because the softmax denominator changes.
+
+For an affected query/key pair, define:
+
+```text
+dt = abs(output_time - guide_time)
+penalty(dt) = min(strength * (max(dt - window, 0) / falloff)^2, cap)
+modified_score = dot(Q, K) / sqrt(head_dim) - penalty(dt)
+```
+
+Defaults: strength 2.0, window 0.20 seconds, falloff 0.25 seconds, cap 6.0. Both videos must have matching temporal grids. This experiment uses 24 fps. This is a soft preference for corresponding times; it is not a proof of physical motion correspondence.
+
+## 2. Why the original FlexAttention path can be slower
+
+The original backend evaluates a score modifier inside compiled FlexAttention. Its rule includes time lookup, distance, a bounded quadratic penalty and edge selection. The expression is evaluated over attention score tiles across heads and blocks. It never creates a full S×S bias tensor, but the extra per-score work remains.
+
+At 116,883 sequence rows and 56 heads, the conceptual full score space contains roughly 765 billion query/key/head combinations per attention block. Kernels tile that computation rather than storing all those scores simultaneously. A new compiled shape/backend can also require initialization or compilation; native FlashAttention avoids that particular custom-kernel compilation path.
+
+The whole model additionally spends time on projections, MLPs, quantized weights, model management, preview decoding and potentially CPU/GPU offload. Large native guide sequences increase both compute and live tensor sizes. We have not measured each of those contributions in the user's full workflow, so a slow step must not automatically be labeled “compiling” or “offloading.” GPU utilization alone cannot distinguish them.
+
+## 3. Decompose the same rule into positive contributions
+
+Because `0 <= penalty <= cap`, the guide's exponential score factor can be written as:
+
+```text
+exp(-penalty) = exp(-cap) + [exp(-penalty) - exp(-cap)]
+```
+
+Both contributions are nonnegative. At distant times the penalty reaches its cap, so the bracketed local correction is exactly zero. The baseline contribution remains positive: distant guide keys are not removed.
+
+![Temporal weight curve decomposed into a small global baseline and a positive local correction.](illustrations/h3_temporal_weight_decomposition.png)
+
+With the defaults, the correction reaches zero at:
+
+```text
+window + falloff * sqrt(cap / strength)
+= 0.20 + 0.25 * sqrt(6 / 2)
+≈ 0.633 seconds
+```
+
+That threshold applies to the correction, not to the availability of guide keys.
+
+| Time difference | Penalty | Required factor | Global baseline | Local correction |
+|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|
+| 0.00 s | 0.00 | 1.000000 | 0.002479 | 0.997521 |
+| 0.40 s | 1.28 | 0.278037 | 0.002479 | 0.275559 |
+| 0.80 s | 6.00 | 0.002479 | 0.002479 | 0.000000 |
+
+The inference backend computes three types of contributions:
+
+1. All non-motion keys, with ordinary weight 1. They can occupy multiple contiguous segments.
+2. All motion-video keys, with uniform factor `exp(-cap)`.
+3. Nearby motion-frame keys, with factor `exp(-penalty) - exp(-cap)`.
+
+The last two contributions intentionally overlap in their keys. Their exponential weights add to the intended original weight, so this does not double-count the final distribution. All spatial tokens of a source frame have the same temporal correction for a given output frame. Frame batching exploits that repeated structure. It is unrelated to averaging generated RGB frames or merging outputs from separate video generations.
+
+![FlashAttention computes the contribution outputs and log-sum-exp normalizers, followed by a stable weighted merge.](illustrations/h3_flash_partitions_flow.png)
+
+## 4. Why log-sum-exp is necessary
+
+A normal attention call returns a normalized local result. Averaging those results would assign equal importance to partitions with very different softmax mass. We therefore retain each partition's natural-log normalizer, `L_i`.
+
+For partition output `O_i` and nonnegative multiplier `w_i`:
+
+```text
+adjusted_L_i = L_i + log(w_i)
+L = logsumexp(adjusted_L_1, adjusted_L_2, ...)
+O = sum_i exp(adjusted_L_i - L) * O_i
+```
+
+Zero-weight corrections can be omitted. The code uses `logaddexp` for successive merges and `expm1` to calculate small positive correction weights stably. It does not subtract two large attention outputs.
+
+Output-frame chunks default to eight latent frames. This bounds the temporary merge buffers. It does not crop the output into independently generated clips or restrict the keys to those eight frames. Queries outside the output video use ordinary full attention.
+
+Setting strength or cap to zero removes the score penalty in this backend; the separate temporal RoPE alignment remains active. Bypassing the temporal node/mode removes both changes.
+
+## 5. What was measured?
+
+### Isolated synthetic attention
+
+RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell, PyTorch 2.12.0+cu130, BF16, 107,126 tokens, 8 heads, head dimension 128:
+
+| Backend | Approximate attention call time |
+|---|---:|
+| Unmodified native PyTorch FlashAttention | 0.327 s |
+| Flash Partitions | 0.422 s |
+| Original temporal FlexAttention | 0.628 s |
+
+The training process was running concurrently. These short microbenchmarks indicate about 1.5× improvement over the original temporal backend for that tested shape; they are not a controlled full-model speed claim, do not use H3's full 56 heads and do not establish RTX 5090 performance. For a small 2,272-token shape, partition-launch/merge overhead made this backend slower than FlexAttention. There is no universally fastest choice demonstrated here.
+
+A separate small CUDA comparison against SDPA with an explicit temporal bias measured relative output norm error 0.00452 in BF16. CPU tests exercise the decomposition against the original score rule at multiple strengths/caps and with frame-chunk boundaries. This validates numerical behavior, not identity or motion quality.
+
+### User-reported full-workflow logs
+
+RTX 5090, requested output 544×928 and 360 frames:
+
+| Temporal backend | Guide scale | Guide rows | Packed rows | First complete model evaluation |
+|---|---:|---:|---:|---:|
+| Flash Partitions | 1.0 | 52,751 | 116,883 | 179.18 s |
+| Flash Partitions | 0.5 | 11,984 | 70,020 | 54.45 s |
+
+The second model evaluation at scale 0.5 was reported as 47.19 s. These are user logs, not a controlled benchmark with all settings and warm-up conditions audited. The original Flex sampler's first step was reported as 603.40 s, including initialization, so it is not directly comparable to a warmed-up attention call.
+
+The separately reported first-attention times were 2.689 s at scale 1.0 and 4.113 s at scale 0.5. That first-call measurement is not representative of every block; do not multiply it by the number of blocks to estimate the full step. Whole-model evaluation timing is the more useful end-to-end observation here.
+
+## 6. How to use it
+
+See [native temporal setup](../H3_NATIVE_TEMPORAL.md) for MODEL routing and the conditioning contract.
+
+- Standalone node: select `attention_backend = flash partitions (no compile)`.
+- Shot Conditioning: select `guide_mode = native temporal alignment (experimental)` and `native_temporal_backend = flash partitions (no compile)`.
+- Use only one temporal patch on the MODEL path. Keep Add Guide and conflicting attention/block replacements disabled.
+- `native_guide_scale = 1.0` preserves source detail. Try 0.5 for a lower-token motion reference; this keeps output dimensions, identity images and all guide frames/timestamps, but reduces guide spatial detail. H3 dimension rounding means the token reduction is not exactly fourfold.
+- For standalone conditioning, resize only the guide video before native Reference to Video to obtain that spatial reduction.
+
+The selected video is still VAE-encoded as a native reference. “Add Guide OFF” does not mean “no guide-video latents.” Qwen also sees the native video presentation. Reducing Qwen sampling alone would not remove the native DiT reference tokens.
+
+## 7. Backend requirements and limitations
+
+The current compile-free path calls PyTorch's native CUDA FlashAttention primitive with log-sum-exp outputs. It requires CUDA FP16/BF16 and a compatible PyTorch build. It is inference-only, supports one packed self-attention sequence and requires contiguous video rows, fixed spatial token count per frame and matching guide/output temporal grids. It does not use the ComfyUI attention backend selector for the modified main attention.
+
+Comfy Kitchen INT8 attention's audited public API returns the output tensor but no log-sum-exp normalizer. It is therefore not a drop-in replacement for these partition calls. Its support for masks does not by itself provide a fused temporal rule without constructing a bias representation. The separate [experimental Kitchen frame-wise backend](../H3_NATIVE_TEMPORAL.md#comfy-kitchen-and-model-attention-backend-111513), added in 1.115.13, avoids partition merging by using a broadcast key bias per target latent frame. It automatically honors the official Model Attention Backend selection. Its initial diagnostic was slower than Flash Partitions; it is not a drop-in partition kernel replacement.
+
+Flash Partitions preserves the dense score policy and its quadratic work. More speed may require reducing native guide tokens, improving kernels/merges or choosing a measured alternative. Hard windows, sparse routing or independently generated temporal chunks would change behavior and need separate quality evaluation.
+
+Alignment does not guarantee identity binding. The user has reported useful results from the existing 10500 LoRA plus this patch, and weaker identity retention from an early fresh-native checkpoint. Those are qualitative observations, not a matched-training comparison or evidence that the patch alone teaches swapping. No LoRA strength ramp, image-reference boost or identity loss is implemented by this backend.
+
+## Native one-pass Kitchen extension
+
+From 1.115.16, the optional [native Kitchen temporal extension](../H3_NATIVE_TEMPORAL.md#one-pass-native-kitchen-kernels-111516) fuses the temporal rule into dense INT8 and sol-attn kernels. It removes the per-frame attention loop. Initial full-head diagnostics were faster than Flash Partitions, while visual/end-to-end validation remains pending. From 1.115.17, first-use setup is automatic on supported Linux SM120 systems with a CUDA-13-capable driver; manual installation remains available elsewhere.
+
+## Experimental sol-attn compatibility
+
+Version 1.115.14 can recognize Model Sparse Attention with sol-attn and preserve the temporal score rule via repeated frame-wise calls. This initial compatibility path was slower than Flash Partitions; it is not the proposed fast one-pass sparse kernel. See [implementation limits and measurements](../H3_NATIVE_TEMPORAL.md#model-sparse-attention-sol-attn-compatibility-111514). SLA and VSA remain unsupported.
+
+## Video example
+
+See the [synchronized six-column video and interpretation](../H3_NATIVE_TEMPORAL.md#video-comparison-an-add-guide-trained-lora-with-native-temporal-alignment), including the step-10500 Add Guide-trained LoRA running with the new native temporal method. The separate early step-750 identity-drift report is distinguished there.

Never reuse one image's description for another image or infer a reference role from its filename. Omit features that are not visible.",
+    "Use only the supplied {picture} labels without renumbering. {video} supplies the guide performance and timing. Define distinct <Subject N> labels for content that needs a stable role. Subject numbers and picture numbers are independent: several images may describe one identity, and an image may contain multiple views of one person.",
+    "Assign every relevant reference a precise role: identity, outfit, environment, style or object. A scene reference is not another performer. An outfit collage does not create extra people. State what each image contributes when identity, clothing and setting come from different pictures. Do not turn an appearance reference into a fixed first frame or pose unless explicitly requested.",

For head swap mode, begin exactly with head_swap:; transfer only the referenced head identity while retaining the guide body and wardrobe unless additional edits are explicitly requested. 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.",
+    "In summary, give the requested output and reference roles concisely, with an appropriate bracketed H3 task label. 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.",
+    "In retention_analysis, specify what is preserved within each reference's assigned role. Use fully_preserved, partially_preserved, attribute_transfer or weak_reference as appropriate. 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.",
+    "In detailed_description, describe the intended target scene and observable performance in playback order. 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.",
+    "When a new setting is requested, explicitly replace the entire source environment throughout the video, including incompatible walls, ceilings, floors and architecture. Retain only requested props and interaction supports. Do not limit the new scene to empty areas, retain the old room behind it, introduce black borders, or invent a gradual transition. Integrate subjects and preserved objects with the requested setting's perspective, lighting and shadows unless the user explicitly retains particular lighting.",
+    "Honor requested styles such as anime across the intended output. 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. Preserve the source setting unless the user asks to change it. Omit any Picture label that is not actually attached; a one-image input never supplies Picture 2. Do not list every sampled timestamp as a separate action."
