1.41.0 fixed the wrong half of this. The deformation came from the crop and the
latent having different ASPECTS -- a mask around a face gives a portrait box,
sampled in a landscape latent it is stretched on the way in and squeezed back on
the way out -- and rebuilding the latent at the crop's size did remove the
mismatch, but by throwing away the resolution that cropping exists to buy. A
face 200 px tall in the source was then sampled at 200 px, which is the problem
the crop was there to solve.
The planner already takes an aspect_ratio and we were passing 0.0, letting the
box follow the subject. It now gets the connected latent's aspect, and
_static_box grows its short side to match when the planner is not in play. The
box still contains the subject and stays divisible by the grid.
So the latent's size is yours again -- it is the sampling resolution, choose it
for the quality you want -- and its shape no longer has to be guessed.
68 tests; the new ones pin that a landscape latent gives a landscape box, that
the box still contains the subject, and that a free aspect still follows it.
