+# v2 ← M\*: Architecture Gap-Analysis & Improvement Roadmap
+
+**Status:** exploration, flagged for review. **Date:** 2026-06-19.
+**Source paper:** *M\*: A Modular, Extensible, Serving System for Multimodal Models* (arXiv 2606.12688,
+Stanford/UW/CMU; Jha, Sagan, Kamahori, …, Kasikci, S. Wang). It is a universal serving runtime for composite
+multimodal models built on the **Walk Graph** abstraction (a model is a dataflow graph `G`; a request is a
+*Walk* — a labeled subgraph — and the runtime executes walks). It beats vLLM-Omni (~20% lower T2I latency on
+**BAGEL**, up to 2.64× on I2I), SGLang-Omni (2.7× TTS throughput on **Qwen3-Omni**), and native V-JEPA2
+rollout (12.5×). It explicitly names **FastVideo's own** sparse/sliding-tile attention, xDiT/PipeFusion/USP,
+Inferix, and FlashDrive as techniques integratable into the graph runtime.
+
+**Method:** a 28-agent workflow — 6 parallel v2-subsystem maps → 10 M\*-dimension analyses, each
+*adversarially verified against the actual v2 code* → synthesis + a completeness critic. The critic's
+corrections and three P0 claims were then **spot-verified by hand** (file:line below). This doc folds those
+corrections in; it is the corrected, authoritative synthesis.
+
+---
+
+## 1. Executive summary
+
+v2 already implements the **harder half** of M\*'s thesis and in several axes **exceeds** it:
+
+- v2's `Program` *is* M\*'s graph `G` (typed `ComponentNode`/`ModelLoopNode` + edges).
+- v2's `shared_weight_components` *is* M\*'s cross-Walk node sharing — BAGEL/Cosmos3/LTX2 each bind two
+  `ModelLoopNode`s to **one resident transformer** (`instance.component()` returns the same live object). This
+  is the exact MoT serving property the omni cards in this repo already express.
+- v2 adds three things M\* (serving-only) has **no equivalent for**: a required+validated per-loop **cost
+  model**, a non-negotiable **interleave bit-parity gate**, and an **integrated training plane** (RL→distill
+  flywheel driving the *same* serving Loop).
+- The `extend/` plugin seam (interceptors/observers/registry with capability negotiation) is precisely the
+  hook M\*'s "extensible / integrate FastVideo-STA, xDiT, Inferix, FlashDrive" call-out asks for — **v2
+  already has the seam M\* only gestures at.**
+
+What v2 lacks is M\*'s **declarative authoring layer above the substrate**, and — the key insight — *much of
+that substrate is already authored but inert*: v2 has declared the metadata for "minimum components per
+request" (`required_for`/`optional_for` on every omni card) and "branch as a cache axis" (`guidance_sig`,
+`CacheKey`) but **never wired it to an executor**. The substrate is ~80% built and switched off.
+
+**Highest-leverage cluster:** three small, parity-safe wires that turn on inert substrate and unblock the
+BAGEL/Qwen-Omni/Cosmos3 latency wins M\* measured **on the exact models this repo already runs** — plus one
+P1 that aligns v2 with the paper's headline "extensible" claim using a seam v2 already has.
+
+### Verified P0 correctness findings (spot-checked by hand)
+1. **Runner divergence (real bug).** `v2/runtime/engine.py:88` → `nodes = self.program.nodes`;
+   `v2/runtime/disaggregated.py:96` → `nodes = self.program.active_nodes(self.request)`. The inline and
+   disaggregated runners execute *different node sets*. ✅ confirmed.
+2. **EOS is faked.** `v2/recipes/omni/ar_loop.py` docstring says "done on EOS/max_tokens"; `next()` (`:46-48`)
+   checks **only** `max_tokens`. M\*'s marquee `DynamicLoop` use case (EOS) is unimplemented in the loop that
+   serves the Qwen-Omni Thinker/Talker and Cosmos3 reasoner. ✅ confirmed.
+3. **`required_for`/`optional_for` have zero runtime consumers** (grep outside `specs.py`/recipes/tests is
+   empty). The min-components metadata is declared on every card and never read. ✅ confirmed.

+```
+PR-1, PR-2, PR-3, PR-5 are mutually independent; PR-4 depends on PR-2.
+
+### PR-1 (P0) — Turn on the inert min-components substrate + fix runner divergence
+- **Change.** Extend `Program.active_nodes(request)` (`v2/program/specs.py`) to also drop any node whose bound
+  `ComponentSpec.required_for` (`v2/card/specs.py:144`) excludes `request.task` (and isn't in `optional_for`).
+  **Fix the bug:** change `v2/runtime/engine.py:88` to `nodes = self.program.active_nodes(self.request)` so the
+  inline `ProgramRunner` matches `DisaggregatedRunner` (`disaggregated.py:96`). Deliver the `when_task` gating
+  through the **registry/card builder** (`recipes/__init__.py`, `program/workflow.py:WorkflowRegistry`) so all
+  ~40 cards inherit it uniformly — not three bespoke `program.py` patches.
+- **Why (this repo's models).** BAGEL T2I currently steps the AR-text loop and Cosmos3 t2v materializes the
+  reasoner even though the cards declare `transformer required_for={'reason','t2i'}`, `vae required_for={'t2i'}`.
+  On the GPU backend that is wasted resident-weight load + wasted steps on every single-modality request —
+  exactly M\*'s "execute the MINIMUM components per request," delivered by consuming existing metadata.
+- **Risk/invariant.** Validate in `ModelCard.validate()` that every active node's `reads` are produced by an
+  active node for each declared `TaskType` (avoid dropping a producer). Pure node-id filtering ⇒ serial and
+  interleaved still walk the same filtered list ⇒ §9.3 interleave bit-parity holds by construction. CPU-toy clean.
+
+### PR-2 (P0) — Real EOS + declarative `dynamic_stop`  *(also training-enabling)*
+- **Change.** In `v2/recipes/omni/ar_loop.py`, `advance()` reads the emitted token; if it equals the model
+  `eos_id` (toy backend exposes `EOS=0`) or matches `req.sampling.stop` (`params.py:21`, currently dead),
+  register termination; `next()` returns `Done()` on stop OR `max_tokens`. Add `StopRegistry` to `LoopState` +
+  `register_loop_stop(name)` to the `LoopContext` protocol (`contracts.py:204`) and to
+  `DisaggregatedRunner`'s `RuntimeLoopContext`. Add `LoopSpec.dynamic_stop: bool=False`, opt the AR cards in.
+- **Why.** The docstring-vs-code lie sits in the loop serving Qwen-Omni Thinker/Talker and the Cosmos3 reasoner;
+  M\*'s second named `DynamicLoop` use case (world-model **rollout horizon**) is exactly what `self_forcing` RL
+  needs — so this is both a serving-credibility fix and a training enabler (raise its payoff accordingly).
+- **Risk/invariant.** `dynamic_stop=False` is byte-identical back-compat. Must pass **all three** parity gates:
+  serial==interleaved AND disaggregated==inline. **Not** in this PR: speculative deferred-termination (unobservable
+  on CPU-toy, fights the interleave invariant — P3, gated on GPU executor).
+
+### PR-3 (P1) — `ParitySpec.output_determinism` (close the dormant C3 hole)  *(training-enabling)*
+- **Change.** Add `output_determinism: str = "bit_identical"` to `ParitySpec` (`card/specs.py:88`); make
+  `compare_outputs` (`parity/interleave_gate.py:54`) consult it (`bit_identical` → today's exact check;
+  `distributional` → a moment/tolerance check — land a simple moment match first; a real KS test is new code).
+- **Why.** `ConsistencyLevel.C3` is defined and used by zero recipes; an SDE/FlowGRPO stochastic rollout cannot
+  honestly declare its parity contract and would falsely fail the bit-identical gate. Additive; default unchanged.
+
+### PR-5 (P1) — Expose FastVideo's own attention + Inferix as `extend/` plugins  *(highest paper-alignment)*
+- **Change.** Use the existing `extend/{interceptors,observers,registry}.py` seam (capability-negotiated, with
+  per-(request,branch) `plugin_state` that already passes the interleave gate) to register FastVideo's
+  sparse/sliding-tile attention and Inferix-style block-diffusion as `Interceptor`s / an `EngineKind` plugin.
+- **Why.** M\*'s title is "Modular, **Extensible**" and it explicitly lists FastVideo-STA, xDiT/PipeFusion/USP,
+  Inferix, FlashDrive as integratable. v2 already has the seam M\* only describes — this is where v2 most
+  directly answers the paper, using this repo's own attention code. Low risk (the seam + capability negotiation
+  already exist and are tested).
+
+### PR-4 (P1) — CFG/branch as a LABEL over one paged KV pool
+- **Change.** Rewrite `PagedKVCache` (`cache/classes.py:155-172`) from a block *counter* into a real
+  `(namespace,label)->[block-handle]` store with **one shared `total_blocks` budget** (M\*'s single-pool
+  property). Reuse the existing-but-unpopulated `CacheKey.guidance_sig` (`keys.py:53`) for the hash. Thread the
+  label through `ar_loop.py` (alloc/append/get per `(request_id, branch)`; prefill once per shared-prefix label;
+  combine via `CFGPolicy.combine`). Wire `ResourceRequest.cache_blocks` (`contracts.py:64`, zero consumers) into
+  admission per (class,label).
+- **Why.** The dossier-identified driver of M\*'s BAGEL win (3 CFG contexts as 3 labels over ONE pool vs dense
+  per-context). Targets AR_DECODE (BAGEL `generate_text`, omni Thinker); **correctly excludes diffusion**
+  (Wan/LTX are bidirectional, no KV — their CFG stays dense-but-batched).
+- **Corrections to bake in.** Do **NOT** add `branch_label` to `CacheKey.partition_field()` (CFG branches share
+  embeddings; partitioning by branch is a semantic bug). Do **NOT** add a new by-ref type — reuse
+  `InProcKVConnector` + `TransferManifest.cache_key`. Wiring `cache_blocks` admission is greenfield ⇒ effort **L**.
+  CPU version proves label/sharing semantics; the real latency win needs a FlashInfer paged kernel (out of scope)
+  — **merge** with a future "real KVCacheEngine" effort rather than landing isolated.
+
+---
+
+## 4. What v2 already does ≥ M\* — do NOT regress
+1. **Required+validated cost model** on every `LoopSpec` (13-kind `WorkUnitKind`) — typed, pre-GPU-validated.
+2. **Interleave bit-parity as a hard gate** (`parity.interleave_required=True` on 40+ cards). M\* has no such
+   gate (its speculative scheduling deliberately wastes steps). Load-bearing invariant; every new primitive
+   must pass it.
+3. **C0–C4 consistency ladder** wired into RL methods, with first-divergence tap reporting. No M\* equivalent.
+4. **Integrated training plane** — DiffusionNFT/DMD2/self_forcing, RL→distill flywheel, `WeightSyncController`
+   hot weight-sync with drain-to-boundary + scoped cache invalidation, driving the **same** serving Loop.
+   M\* is serving-only. Protect with a toy fixture asserting `rollout_loop` drives the served Loop object.
+5. **CPU-toy parity for the whole stack** — loops/CFG/caches/parity/RL run in CI without a GPU. Every new
+   primitive must ship a toy exercise (this is what makes all PRs above testable without H100s).
+6. **Partition-not-flush cache invalidation** + four independent per-class pools.
+7. **`extend/` plugin seam** with capability negotiation (a 4-step distilled card *rejects* a residual-skip
+   interceptor) — M\* describes extensibility; v2 has the mechanism.
+8. **Dynamo citizenship** (`deploy/dynamo.py`: one `DeploymentCard`+cost model, two consumers) — beyond M\*'s
+   self-contained runtime.
+
+---
+
+## 5. Dropped / merged / deferred (and why)
+- **DROP declarative `Parallel` as a CFG-execution win.** The runner walks nodes linearly (ignores
+  `Program.edges`), so `Parallel` lowers to sequential sugar and the CFG 3-pass braid is already one
+  co-scheduled `WorkPlan.run`; splitting it risks the interleave gate. Salvage only the no-op refactor
+  extracting `branch_forward` from `WanDenoiseLoop._velocity`. Reassign `Parallel` to the placement workstream.
+- **MERGE the full Walk/state-machine layer** into "defer until a re-entrant phase graph needs it" (PR-1 gets the
+  min-components win with ~20 lines, no new abstraction). If built: the validator must check a walk's node-id
+  order is a *subsequence* of `program.nodes` (not just membership) or the runner can reorder and break parity.
+- **MERGE `StreamBuffer`/`ChunkPolicy` into pipelined-scheduling.** Causal-chunk emit *already ships*
+  (`wan_causal/loop.py` per-chunk `StepResult.emit` + slab-KV); the gap is the declarative `ChunkPolicy` vocab
+  + a concurrent producer/consumer runner. If built: keep all policies pure (per-request `StreamBuffer` history,
+  not shared edge state) and restrict the bit-identical claim to the token-only handoff.
+- **MERGE CFG-fan-out exec + cross-rank transport + PD loop-splitting into a multi-GPU-runtime program.** These
+  need real collectives (`v2/distributed/` is a stub) and KV-by-reference (KV lives in `CacheManager`, not the
+  transferable `slots`). **Keep cheaply now:** the *declarative* halves — per-component degree, `(node,Walk)`
+  placement key with node-only fallback, `ReplicaSet` under `LocalFleet`, and populate `parallel_plan_hash` on
+  the **serving** cache path (it is already populated in `training/behavior.py:40` — the gap is serving-only).
+- **DEFER** speculative deferred-termination, loop-spanning CUDA graphs, N+1 prefetch, attention-plan
+  double-buffer — all gated on a real GPU executor; benefit unobservable on CPU-toy CI. Keep the cheap
+  `EngineKind` tag (`STATELESS|KV_CACHE|DIFFUSION`) now. Correct the stale `cudagraph.py:51-52` docstring
+  (per-step capture ships in 14 cards, not just wan21).
+- **RESCOPE per-node TP.** Wan/LTX use `ReplicatedLinear` + **sequence parallelism** (`sp`), not TP; the `sp`
+  axis already exists in `parallel/plan.py:AXIS_NAMES`. The work is wiring degrees into the runtime, not
+  inventing vocabulary; a `tp_size=2` "one-line activation" is a no-op for the shipped models.
+
+---
+
+## 6. The first integration test, if/when multi-GPU placement work starts
+The **live Qwen-Omni 2-GPU bring-up** (Thinker on rank 0, Talker+Code2Wav on rank 1; see
+`v2_debug_videos/vlm.md` Session 4) is the natural first validation target for any `(node,Walk)→rank`
+placement work — it is the one place this repo already has real multi-rank composite-model execution.

+
+# Conversion `--cast-bf16` Needs an FP32-Keep Suffix Allowlist
+
+## What Happened
+
+`scripts/checkpoint_conversion/convert_magi_human_to_diffusers.py --cast-bf16`
+produced a converted distill DiT checkpoint that loaded cleanly, ran end-to-
+end, and emitted reasonable output — but `test_magi_human_distill_parity`
+showed `diff_mean=0.114` against the upstream reference. The base DiT was
+bit-exact with the same conversion script. Only the distill variant
+regressed.
+
+The error was small enough that visual quality looked normal, but large
+enough to fail bit-exact parity. The MagiHuman base + distill DiTs share
+most of their architecture, so a difference that affected only distill was
+counterintuitive.
+
+## Root Cause
+
+`--cast-bf16` was downcasting **all** fp32 tensors to bf16 indiscriminately.
+The base checkpoint and the FastVideo `final_linear` / adapter modules
+require eight specific tensors to remain in fp32:
+
+- LayerNorm `gamma` / `beta` weights for the final residual exit
+- Adapter projection biases
+- A handful of scale parameters in the output projection chain
+
+These tensors participate in chains where bf16 precision causes accumulation
+error large enough to drift the parity check. The base DiT happened to not
+hit those specific chains in the path the test exercised (different
+attention mask shape, different audio interleave); the distill variant did.
+
+## Fix / Workaround
+
+Added `_FP32_KEEP_SUFFIXES` allowlist to
+`convert_magi_human_to_diffusers.py` (commit `829f70d3`) and gated `--cast-
+bf16` on it. Tensors whose state-dict key ends with any allowlisted suffix
+keep their original fp32 dtype regardless of the flag.
+
+Distill DiT parity went from `diff_mean=0.114` (silently wrong) to bit-exact
+in one commit.
+
+## Prevention
+
+1. **Treat `--cast-bf16` as opinionated, not blanket.** Any conversion
+   script that supports a global dtype downcast flag MUST own an explicit
+   allowlist of fp32-keep tensors, documented at the top of the file.
+
+2. **The `add-model-conversion` skill** should enforce two checks for any
+   converter that ships a `--cast-bf16`-style flag:
+   - Run the parity test for **every** variant of the model (base, distill,
+     SR, etc.), not just the headline variant. Different variants exercise
+     different code paths.
+   - Diff the converted checkpoint's dtype map against the upstream
+     reference and assert the allowlist covers every fp32 tensor in the
+     reference.
+
+3. **For MagiHuman specifically**: if you add or rename DiT modules that
+   touch `final_linear`, the adapter, or any LayerNorm in the residual exit
+   path, **check that any fp32-required tensors are covered by
+   `_FP32_KEEP_SUFFIXES`** in the conversion script and re-run
+   `test_magi_human_distill_parity` (it's the canary).
+
+4. The lesson generalizes beyond MagiHuman: any DiT that uses bf16 mixed
+   precision but keeps specific tensors in fp32 (a common pattern with
+   flash-attn-style backends) needs this allowlist for any conversion that
+   downcasts.

+# DiT Dtype Boundary Alignment with Flash-Attn-Style Backends
+
+## What Happened
+
+DiT bit-exact parity for daVinci-MagiHuman against the upstream reference
+sat at `diff_max=0.5` after the architecture port was complete and weight
+loading was correct. The error grew with depth (later layers diverged more
+than earlier ones), suggesting an accumulating numerical drift rather than
+a structural mismatch. None of the obvious culprits (RoPE, GQA expansion,
+attention mask handling) accounted for the pattern.
+
+## Root Cause
+
+Four cumulative dtype-boundary mismatches, each individually small but
+together pushing parity from `diff_max=0.5` to bit-exact (`diff_max=0.0`):
+
+1. **SDPA inputs were not cast to bf16.** Upstream's `flash_attn_with_cp`
+   internally casts Q/K/V to bf16 at `dit_module.py:508` before the kernel.
+   FastVideo was passing fp32 tensors through, getting numerically different
+   intermediates even though the kernel accepts both.
+
+2. **Post-attention output was kept in bf16 across the per-head gating
+   multiply.** Upstream upcasts to fp32 before the gating, FastVideo did the
+   gate in bf16 then upcast.
+
+3. **A residual-stream cast at the block boundary.** FastVideo had a
+   `.to(bf16)` then `.to(fp32)` at the start of each block. Upstream keeps
+   the residual stream **continuously in fp32** across all 40 layers; only
+   the inputs to specific kernels are temporarily downcast.
+
+4. **Parity test scheduler used a double-shift.** A separate per-block fix
+   (Wave 11 production migration) — single-shift schedule is what upstream
+   uses; the parity test was double-shifting.
+
+## Fix / Workaround
+
+Four cumulative changes in `fastvideo/models/dits/magi_human.py` (commit
+`3a4816cb`), each with a comment at the call site explaining the upstream
+parity rationale:
+
+- Cast SDPA inputs to bf16 right before the attention call.
+- Upcast attention output to fp32 before the per-head gate multiply.
+- Drop the residual-stream `.to(bf16)`/`.to(fp32)` wrapper at the block
+  boundary; let the residual stay fp32 throughout.
+- Single-shift schedule in the parity test fixture (matches upstream Wave 11).
+
+## Prevention
+
+1. **For any DiT port with a flash-attn-style backend**, treat the dtype of
+   the residual stream as a load-bearing invariant, not a performance knob.
+   Document it in the model's per-pipeline AGENTS.md. MagiHuman's invariant:
+   *residual stream stays fp32 across all blocks; only kernel inputs are
+   temporarily bf16*.
+
+2. **Use layer-by-layer activation hooks** when DiT parity is close-but-not-
+   bit-exact and the gap grows with depth. The
+   `fastvideo/hooks/activation_trace.py` infra exists exactly for this case
+   (`add-model-trace` skill). In MagiHuman's case it would have localized the
+   first divergence point in one pass.
+
+3. **The `add-model-port-dit` skill** should explicitly call out:
+   - SDPA input dtype must match the upstream kernel's internal cast.
+   - Post-attention upcast happens **before** any per-head gate, not after.
+   - Residual stream dtype across block boundaries is a parity invariant.
+   These rules apply to any DiT port whose upstream uses a flash-attn-style
+   backend (`flash_attn_with_cp`, `flex_flash_attn_func`, etc.).
+
+4. **Add an "intermediate-layer parity" test** for new DiT ports — comparing

+
+# Silent Channel-Major Token-Packing Bugs
+
+## What Happened
+
+While porting daVinci-MagiHuman (`fastvideo/pipelines/basic/magi_human/`),
+the pipeline-parity test passed bit-exactly but the E2E user-visible output
+was **pure static noise**. Latent tensors compared identically against the
+upstream reference at every checkpointed boundary, yet decoded videos showed
+no recognizable content. The discrepancy reproduced on every variant
+(base / distill / SR-540p / SR-1080p) with the same noise profile.
+
+## Root Cause
+
+Video tokens were being packed **spatial-major** instead of **channel-major**:
+
+```python
+# What we had (spatial-major, WRONG)
+einops.rearrange(x, "b c (T pT) (H pH) (W pW) -> b (T H W) (pT pH pW C)", ...)
+
+# What upstream's UnfoldNd produces (channel-major, CORRECT)
+einops.rearrange(x, "b c (T pT) (H pH) (W pW) -> b (T H W) (C pT pH pW)", ...)
+```
+
+A single-character einops reorder. The pipeline-parity test used FastVideo's
+own packer on **both** sides of the comparison, so the bug was invisible there
+— both sides agreed on the wrong layout. The DiT consumed those tokens
+without complaint because the channel dimension only matters at decode time,
+when the VAE's first conv expects channel-major input. By that point the test
+boundary was already passed.
+
+The bug was load-bearing for any token-packed format that downstream feeds
+into a `UnfoldNd`-shaped consumer. Wave 14 of the port took multiple bug-hunt
+iterations and an Oracle consultation to localize.
+
+## Fix / Workaround
+
+Single-character einops change in `stages/latent_preparation.py:_img2tokens`
+(commit `6d190693` of the original PR). After the fix, all four variants
+produced expected E2E output and the pipeline-parity tests still passed
+because both sides of the parity check are now correct.
+
+## Prevention
+
+1. **Never use the FastVideo-side packer on both sides of a parity test.**
+   At least one parity boundary must compare against an upstream tensor
+   produced by the upstream packer. For MagiHuman this means a separate
+   `_img2tokens` parity test that feeds upstream `UnfoldNd` output as the
+   reference, not FastVideo's reformatted equivalent.
+
+2. **Add an E2E hash check** alongside latent-parity. The mp4 SHA was the
+   first signal that something was wrong; if it had been part of the standard
+   parity battery, the bug would have surfaced in Wave 1, not Wave 14. See
+   `fastvideo/tests/ssim/test_magi_human_similarity.py` for the CI version.
+
+3. **For any new model port that involves explicit tensor reshaping into
+   tokens**, document the expected packing order (`(C pT pH pW)` vs
+   `(pT pH pW C)`) at the call site and assert the layout matches the
+   downstream consumer's expectation.
+
+4. The `add-model-port-dit` skill's parity gate should require an E2E hash
+   check for any DiT that does video token packing, not just latent
+   bit-exactness.

+category: infrastructure

+
+# DreamVerse App CI Streaming Imports Need GPU
+
+## What Happened
+
+DreamVerse app CI backend pytest collection imports FastVideo streaming surfaces.
+When those tests run in a CPU-only Modal environment, collection can fail before
+any app assertions run with Triton reporting:
+
+```text
+RuntimeError: 0 active drivers
+```
+
+## Root Cause
+
+Some streaming import paths can import `fastvideo_kernel` at module import time.
+Triton then probes for an active GPU driver during pytest collection. A CPU-only
+Modal container has no active driver, so the failure appears as an import-time
+collection error rather than a DreamVerse app behavior failure.
+
+## Fix / Workaround
+
+For PR #1386, use a surgical CI fix: allocate a GPU to
+`run_dreamverse_app_tests`. Do not refactor core streaming/kernel imports just to
+unstick this app CI path.
+
+Keep `build_kernel=False` for this job. The DreamVerse app backend test imports
+streaming surfaces but does not need to rebuild or exercise custom kernels.
+
+## Prevention
+
+When adding or modifying DreamVerse app CI jobs that import FastVideo streaming
+modules, make the GPU requirement explicit if the import graph may touch
+`fastvideo_kernel`. Prefer small CI resource fixes for app test collection issues
+unless the product code genuinely requires lazy import cleanup.

+name: add-model-01-prep
+description: Use at the start of a FastVideo model port to gather required inputs, inspect/download HF weights, clone and install the official reference repo in the current environment, create a local_tests README skeleton, and produce a handoff before conversion or implementation.
+---
+
+# Add Model Prep
+
+## Goal
+
+Prepare external assets and the shared parity-test environment for a FastVideo
+model port. Stop before writing conversion scripts, model components, pipeline
+code, registry entries, or executable parity tests.
+
+## Ask First
+
+Ask once, then proceed if the HF token is already exported:
+
+```text
+Before prep: (1) official reference repo or Diffusers pipeline URL, (2) HF repo
+id or local weights path and whether it has a root model_index.json, (3) target
+model_family, (4) workload types, (5) which token env var is exported:
+HF_TOKEN, HUGGINGFACE_HUB_TOKEN, or HF_API_KEY, (6) may I stage clone and
+weights under the FastVideo repo root, and (7) may I install official reference
+dependencies into the current FastVideo conda/env for parity tests?
+```
+
+Useful optional inputs: `pipeline_class`, `reference_dir`, `hf_revision`,
+`official_revision`, `reuse_hints`, `download_scope`.
+
+## Rules
+
+- Follow `../add-model/shared/common_rules.md` for token/auth safety, state files,
+  escape hatches, and skip/pass semantics.
+- Run from the FastVideo repo root.
+- Use repo-relative defaults: `<ReferenceDir>/`,
+  `official_weights/<model_family>/`, `converted_weights/<model_family>/`.
+- Install official reference deps into the current FastVideo environment, not a
+  new venv/conda env, so parity tests run both implementations with one shared
+  numeric stack.
+- If the reference is a Diffusers class/package instead of a cloneable repo,
+  record import path and version instead of cloning.
+- Prep may create only the local-test README and `PORT_STATUS.md` skeletons;
+  executable `.py` parity tests belong to `../add-model-02-parity/SKILL.md`.
+
+## Escape Hatches
+
+Follow `../add-model/shared/common_rules.md`. Prep-specific ask cases include
+overwriting an existing clone or weight directory, installing untrusted/private
+deps, choosing between incompatible official references, large downloads outside
+the agreed scope, or missing gated-repo auth setup by env var name.
+
+## Workflow
+
+1. Verify the repo:
+
+```bash
+git rev-parse --show-toplevel
+```
+
+Expected markers: `fastvideo/`, `scripts/checkpoint_conversion/`,
+`scripts/huggingface/download_hf.py`, `fastvideo/registry.py`.
+
+2. Inspect HF or local weight layout:
+
+```bash
+python ".agents/skills/add-model-01-prep/scripts/inspect_hf_layout.py" \
+    "Org/Model" \
+    --revision "<revision>" \
+    --json
+```
+
+For a local path, replace `Org/Model` with `/path/to/weights`. Record
+`source_layout`, `needs_conversion`, `model_index_class`, and
+`components_seen`.
+
+3. Download HF weights if needed:
+
+```bash
+python ".agents/skills/add-model-01-prep/scripts/download_hf_weights.py" \
+    "Org/Model" \
+    "official_weights/<model_family>" \
+    --revision "<revision>"
+```
+
+For selected files, repeat `--file-name`. For partial snapshots, repeat
+`--allow-pattern` or `--ignore-pattern`. If the user provided a local path,
+record it instead of copying large weights by default.
+
+4. Clone the official reference repo if applicable:
+
+```bash
+python ".agents/skills/add-model-01-prep/scripts/clone_reference_repo.py" \
+    "<official_repo_url>" \
+    "<ReferenceDir>" \
+    --branch "<tag-or-branch>" \
+    --commit "<commit-sha>" \
+    --update-gitignore
+```
+
+Omit `--branch`, `--commit`, or `--update-gitignore` when not needed. The
+helper refuses to overwrite existing paths and prints remote/HEAD instead.
+
+5. Keep prep assets ignored. Ensure `.gitignore` includes relevant entries:
+
+```gitignore
+/<ReferenceDir>/
+/official_weights/
+/converted_weights/
+```
+
+6. Follow the official repo's setup instructions in the current environment.
+Inspect dependency files and README install docs before installing anything:
+
+- `README*`, install docs, or model-card instructions.
+- `requirements*.txt`, `pyproject.toml`, `setup.py`, `environment.yml`.
+
+Use the current FastVideo conda/env. Do not create a new env even if upstream
+docs recommend one; translate the needed install commands into the active env.
+Prefer editable/no-deps first so the official source is importable without
+changing shared pins:
+
+```bash
+uv pip install --no-deps -e ./<ReferenceDir>
+```
+
+Then install only missing official deps needed for parity imports. Stop before
+installing requirements that would change FastVideo's core stack. If upstream
+requires private/non-PyPI deps, record that parity needs a local stub helper
+rather than pretending setup is complete.
+
+7. Create the model-family local test skeleton and top-level port state file:
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p tests/local_tests/<model_family>
+cp ".agents/skills/add-model-01-prep/templates/local_tests_readme.md" \
+    tests/local_tests/<model_family>/README.md
+cp ".agents/skills/add-model-01-prep/templates/port_status.md" \
+    tests/local_tests/<model_family>/PORT_STATUS.md
+```
+
+Edit every placeholder in the README and `PORT_STATUS.md`. The README gives
+later review agents enough information to reproduce the shared environment and
+run/review parity work:
+
+- official code URL or import path, local clone path, and commit/version;
+- HF URL or local weight path, revision, access notes, and token env var name
+  only;
+- commands already run and any blocked official dependency installs;
+- shared-env install commands to re-run without changing core pins;
+- expected local parity test paths and pytest commands;
+- private-dependency stubs or known setup gaps;
+- PR/review notes explaining which parity tests are required before handoff.
+
+Do not include raw tokens, absolute cache paths that are not repo-reproducible,
+or large generated outputs. If prep is blocked before imports work, still create
+the README with `official_env_status=blocked` and the exact blocker.
+
+`PORT_STATUS.md` must follow `../add-model/contracts/port_state.md`. Record open
+questions and prep issues immediately, using stable IDs such as `Q001` and
+`I001`. Keep resolved questions/issues in the table with a resolution instead of
+deleting them.
+
+## Handoff
+
+End with the canonical prep handoff contract from
+`../add-model/contracts/prep_handoff.md` and update the shared state files before
+handoff.
+
+## Helper Scripts
+
+- `scripts/inspect_hf_layout.py`: classify HF/local layout.
+- `scripts/download_hf_weights.py`: download HF snapshot or selected files.
+- `scripts/clone_reference_repo.py`: clone reference repo safely.

+# <Model Family> Local Tests
+
+Local-only parity and smoke tests for the `<model_family>` FastVideo port. These
+tests compare FastVideo against the official reference implementation and are
+not expected to run in CI unless explicitly promoted later.
+
+Port progress, open questions, issues, and handoff notes live in
+`tests/local_tests/<model_family>/PORT_STATUS.md`.
+
+## Reference Assets
+
+| Field | Value |
+|---|---|
+| Model family | `<model_family>` |
+| Workload types | `<T2V/I2V/V2V/T2I/or compatibility shim with rationale>` |
+| Official reference | `<url or import path>` |
+| Local reference dir | `<ReferenceDir or none>` |
+| Official commit/version | `<sha, tag, package version, or unknown>` |
+| HF weights | `<HF repo id/url or local path>` |
+| HF revision | `<revision or default>` |
+| Local weights dir | `<official_weights/model_family or local path>` |
+| Source layout | `<diffusers/raw_official/monolithic/separate_components/mixed/custom/unknown>` |
+| Needs conversion | `<yes/no/unknown>` |
+
+Do not write token values in this file. Use only the token env var name:
+`<HF_TOKEN or HUGGINGFACE_HUB_TOKEN or HF_API_KEY>`.
+
+## Shared Environment Setup
+
+Run from the FastVideo repo root in the same conda/env used for FastVideo.
+Do not create a separate upstream environment for parity tests.
+
+```bash
+# Official reference source, if cloneable.
+python ".agents/skills/add-model-01-prep/scripts/clone_reference_repo.py" \
+    "<official_repo_url>" \
+    "<ReferenceDir>" \
+    --commit "<commit-sha>" \
+    --update-gitignore
+
+# Editable install without changing shared core pins.
+uv pip install --no-deps -e ./<ReferenceDir>
+
+# Additional official deps installed or required for imports:
+# <package list or none>
+```
+
+Do not change core dependency versions (`torch`, `diffusers`, `transformers`,
+`flash-attn`, `triton`, CUDA packages) without explicit approval.
+
+## Official Environment Status
+
+```text
+dependency_changes: <none | installed no-deps editable | installed official deps in current env | blocked on user>
+official_env_status: <imports_ok | private_deps_need_stubs | blocked>
+private_dep_stubs: <none or tests/local_tests/helpers/<model_family>_upstream.py>
+blocked_on: <none or exact blocker>
+```
+
+## Weight Setup
+
+```bash
+python ".agents/skills/add-model-01-prep/scripts/download_hf_weights.py" \
+    "<Org/Model>" \
+    "official_weights/<model_family>" \
+    --revision "<revision>"
+```
+
+If weights are local-only, record the local path and do not copy large files into
+the repository.
+
+## Prototype And Conversion Artifacts
+
+State-dict key/shape dumps are generated after FastVideo native prototypes exist
+and are used to build the conversion mapping.
+
+```text
+official_key_dumps:
+  <component>: converted_weights/<model_family>/_mapping/<component>_official_keys.json
+fastvideo_key_dumps:
+  <component>: converted_weights/<model_family>/_mapping/<component>_fastvideo_keys.json
+conversion_script: scripts/checkpoint_conversion/<model_family>_to_diffusers.py
+conversion_source_layout: <diffusers | separate_components | monolithic | mixed | custom>
+converted_weights_dir: converted_weights/<model_family>
+strict_load_status: <not_run | pass | pass_with_documented_exclusions | blocked>
+```
+
+For monolithic official checkpoints, record the component prefix split here. For
+example, a single checkpoint may contain transformer, VAE/pretransform,
+conditioner, and scheduler/vocoder keys that the conversion script writes into
+separate FastVideo component subfolders.
+
+## Expected Parity Tests
+
+Planned local tests for this family:
+
+| Component | Official files / args | Test | Concerns | Status |
+|---|---|---|---|---|
+| `<component>` | `<definition path; instantiation path + args>` | `tests/local_tests/<bucket>/test_<model_family>_<component>_parity.py` | `<prototype or setup concerns>` | `<planned/scaffold_skip/debug_red/non_skip_pass/blocked>` |
+| `pipeline` | `<official pipeline call>` | `tests/local_tests/pipelines/test_<model_family>_pipeline_parity.py` | `<pipeline concerns>` | `<planned/scaffold_skip/debug_red/non_skip_pass/blocked>` |
+
+Include reused components in this table. Reuse is accepted only after the
+FastVideo component definition and official instantiation arguments have both
+been checked and the component parity test passes non-skip.
+
+Run the relevant tests with:
+
+```bash
+pytest tests/local_tests/<bucket>/test_<model_family>_<component>_parity.py -v -s
+pytest tests/local_tests/pipelines/test_<model_family>_pipeline_parity.py -v -s
+```
+
+## Review Notes
+
+- Required before handoff: non-skip PASS for each required component parity
+  test, including reused components that own weights or numerical behavior.
+- Pipeline parity may start as a scaffold, but final handoff requires non-skip
+  PASS or an explicit blocker accepted through the escape-hatch process.
+- User decisions and pause points are tracked as `E###` rows in
+  `PORT_STATUS.md`; do not rely on chat history for escape-hatch context.
+- Review agents should verify this README's setup commands still match the PR,
+  then run the listed parity tests or report the exact blocker.

+name: add-model-02-parity
+description: Use during /add-model after reference/architecture study to scaffold and later activate local FastVideo component parity tests. Emphasizes early test creation, official-reference loading, standardized FastVideo loading, and non-skip handoff gates.
+---
+
+# Add Model Parity
+
+## Goal
+
+Create parity tests as early as possible in a FastVideo port. The first pass can
+land before conversion or component implementation as an executable scaffold;
+handoff is blocked until the same tests become non-skip PASS with real weights.
+
+## When To Run
+
+Follow `../add-model/shared/common_rules.md` for token/auth safety, state files,
+escape hatches, and skip/pass semantics.
+
+Run immediately after `/add-model` Phase 1 has identified:
+
+- official component classes and call signatures;
+- FastVideo target component buckets/classes/configs;
+- local reference clone or import path from `add-model-01-prep`;
+- local raw or Diffusers weight path;
+- `official_env_status=imports_ok`, or private deps that will be stubbed
+  locally in tests;
+- `local_tests_readme` documenting setup and planned review/test commands;
+- expected component inputs and output tensors.
+
+Do not wait for all FastVideo components to be implemented. Write the tests
+first, then let component-porting subagents make them pass.
+
+## Outputs
+
+- One component parity test per required component, including reused components:
+  `tests/local_tests/<bucket>/test_<family>_<component>_parity.py`.
+- Optional helper for upstream private deps:
+  `tests/local_tests/helpers/<family>_upstream.py`.
+- Pipeline parity is owned later by `../add-model-09-pipeline/SKILL.md` after all
+  component parity tests pass non-skip.
+- A parity status block for the `/add-model` parity verification phase.
+
+## Early Scaffold Rules
+
+- A scaffold may skip while the FastVideo class, converted weights, or official
+  import is missing.
+- A scaffold must already encode the real official load path, FastVideo load
+  path, deterministic inputs, expected output extraction, and tolerance target.
+- Each parity test must declare its coverage scope in the file docstring or a
+  module constant: `production_loader`, `implementation_subcomponent`, or `both`.
+  Implementation/subcomponent parity may bypass production loaders deliberately,
+  but final handoff still needs production-loader coverage somewhere before the
+  pipeline depends on that component.
+- Official reference imports must run in the current FastVideo environment; do
+  not create or assume a separate upstream venv/conda env.
+- A scaffold is not evidence of correctness. It becomes evidence only after a
+  local non-skip PASS.
+- Prefer env-var path overrides with repo-relative defaults.
+- Keep tests local-only under `tests/local_tests/`; package/CI quality tests are
+  added later.
+- Update shared state files as described in
+  `../add-model/shared/common_rules.md` whenever adding or activating parity
+  tests.
+
+## Component Template
+
+Copy `templates/component_parity_test.py` and fill every `TODO` marker. The
+template is distilled from:
+
+- `tests/local_tests/transformers/test_ltx2.py`
+- `tests/local_tests/transformers/test_gamecraft_parity.py`
+- `tests/local_tests/encoders/test_ltx2_gemma_parity.py`
+- `tests/local_tests/vaes/test_oobleck_vae_parity.py`
+- `tests/local_tests/sd35/test_sd35_component_parity.py`
+
+The template supports three states:
+
+| State | Meaning |
+|---|---|
+| Scaffold skip | Test is committed early, but official import, FastVideo class, or weights are not available yet. |
+| Debug red | Both sides load and the test fails numerically. This is useful: porting can chase the first drift. |
+| Non-skip pass | Required before `/add-model` handoff. |
+
+## Subagent Dispatch Pattern
+
+After Phase 1, dispatch one parity subagent per component before or alongside
+component implementation:
+
+```text
+Create a local parity test scaffold for <family> <component>.
+
+Use the prep handoff:
+- official_ref_dir/import: <...>
+- local_weights_dir: <...>
+- source_layout: <...>
+- needs_conversion: <yes/no>
+- official_env_status: <imports_ok | private_deps_need_stubs>
+- local_tests_readme: tests/local_tests/<model_family>/README.md
+- port_state_file: tests/local_tests/<model_family>/PORT_STATUS.md
+- official_definition_files: <paths + classes/functions>
+- official_instantiation_files: <paths + factory/pipeline/config call sites + args>
+- concerns_or_unknowns: <known ambiguous inputs, outputs, deps, or args>
+
+The complete per-component packet must match
+`../add-model/contracts/component_context.md`.
+
+Read the official component call path and the planned FastVideo component API.
+Add tests/local_tests/<bucket>/test_<family>_<component>_parity.py based on
+add-model-02-parity/templates/component_parity_test.py.
+
+The scaffold must load the official model with real weights when available,
+load the FastVideo model through the standardized config/class/loader path when
+available, create deterministic inputs, compare concrete outputs, and skip only
+when a dependency is genuinely missing. Do not make an unconditional skip or a
+shape-only test.
+```
+
+## FastVideo Load Patterns
+
+Pick the narrowest load path that matches the component:
+
+| Component | Preferred FastVideo load path |
+|---|---|
+| DiT / transformer | Bucket config + model class, or `TransformerLoader` when testing converted Diffusers component dirs. |
+| VAE | VAE class `from_pretrained(...)` when implemented, or bucket config + class for local converted dirs. |
+| Text/image encoder | Bucket config + model class; pass HF subpaths from `local_weights_dir` or converted component dirs. |
+| Scheduler/conditioner | Native class/config plus exact official kwargs. |
+
+For early scaffolds, an import of the planned FastVideo class may be inside a
+helper that calls `pytest.skip` if the class does not exist yet. Replace that
+skip with a real import once the component PR adds the class.
+
+Direct class/config construction is allowed for implementation or subcomponent
+parity, such as connector-only encoder checks or official monolithic-checkpoint
+mapping tests. Label that scope explicitly and add separate production-loader
+coverage when converted component dirs are available.
+
+## Official Load Patterns
+
+- Clone/reference repo path: add its source dir to `sys.path` before imports.
+- HF/Diffusers reference: import only inside the test, not production code.
+- Private deps: add a helper under `tests/local_tests/helpers/` to install
+  stubs before importing upstream modules; do not rely on an external upstream
+  environment.
+- Gated HF repos: resolve `HF_TOKEN`, `HUGGINGFACE_HUB_TOKEN`, or `HF_API_KEY`
+  under the token rules in `../add-model/shared/common_rules.md`.
+
+## Non-Skip Activation Checklist
+
+Before `/add-model` handoff, each scaffolded test must be activated:
+
+```text
+[ ] Official side imports and loads real weights.
+[ ] FastVideo side imports and loads the converted or original weights.
+[ ] Test executes at least one real forward call on both sides.
+[ ] Test compares output tensors, not only shapes or state-dict keys.
+[ ] Local pytest output contains PASSED, not SKIPPED or XFAIL.
+[ ] Tolerance is justified for the component scope and kernel alignment.
+```
+
+## Component Parity Details
+
+Reference imports:
+
+- Import from `official_ref_dir` or the recorded package/import path.
+- If upstream has private deps, add a helper under
+  `tests/local_tests/helpers/<family>_upstream.py` that installs minimal stubs
+  before importing upstream modules.
+- Common stubs: identity compile/op-registration decorators, CP world size set to
+  1, identity scatter/gather, and test-friendly custom-op kernels.
+- Stub decorators that register `torch.ops.<ns>.<op>` must preserve the
+  `torch.library` registration side-effect. Identity decorators alone are not
+  enough.
+- Delete stub helpers and every `install_stubs()` call as soon as the real deps
+  become required installs. No-op shims are dead code.
+
+Kernel and wrapper pitfalls:
+
+- If parity routes flash-attn GQA through SDPA, expand KV heads manually on the
+  SDPA side with `repeat_interleave` along the head axis.
+- If upstream VAE `decode()` denormalizes internally but FastVideo/Diffusers
+  expects pre-denormalized latents, apply `z = z * std + mean` only on the
+  FastVideo side in the parity test.
+- Per-channel VAE `latents_mean` / `latents_std` must be reshaped explicitly,
+  e.g. `.view(1, z_dim, 1, 1, 1)` for 5D video latents.
+
+Tolerance guide:
+
+| Scope | Start `atol` / `rtol` | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| Single block, same kernel | `1e-4` / `1e-4` | Tight default. |
+| Full DiT, aligned kernels | `1e-2` / `1e-2` | Cross-layer accumulation. |
+| Full DiT, cross-kernel bf16 | `0.1` / `0.1` | Also require abs-mean drift below 5% and per-modality diagnostics. |
+| VAE decode fp32 | `5e-2` / `5e-2` | After normalization alignment. |
+| Encoder wrapper around same HF class | `1e-3` / `1e-3` | Should be near-zero. |
+
+Element-wise `assert_close` alone is not enough for deep full-DiT parity. Also
+log global abs-mean drift and per-modality summaries.
+
+When a non-skip component parity run is numerically red after weight/input
+checks, invoke `../add-model-08-trace/SKILL.md` before adding bespoke forward
+hooks. Use `docs/contributing/activation_trace.md` to keep
+`FASTVIDEO_TRACE_LAYERS`, `FASTVIDEO_TRACE_STATS`, and `FASTVIDEO_TRACE_STEPS`
+identical across FastVideo and upstream traces.
+
+Useful local commands:
+
+```bash
+pytest tests/local_tests/<bucket>/test_<family>_*parity*.py -v -s
+pytest tests/local_tests -k "<family> and parity" -v -s
+```
+
+## Escape Hatches
+
+Follow `../add-model/shared/common_rules.md`. Parity-specific ask cases include
+private dependency approval, choosing between incompatible official references,
+accepting a shape-only substitute, or loosening required tolerances.
+
+## Pipeline Parity
+
+Pipeline parity is later than component parity because it needs stages, presets,
+registry wiring, converted weights, and green component parity. Record official
+pipeline call notes in `local_tests_readme`, but do not treat pipeline parity as
+owned by this skill.
+
+Use `../add-model-09-pipeline/SKILL.md` and its
+`templates/pipeline_parity_test.py` for pipeline parity scaffolding and
+debugging. Compare denoised latents or decoded media, not just successful
+generation.
+
+## Handoff Status Block
+
+Return `../add-model/contracts/parity_status.md` to `/add-model` and update the
+shared state files before handoff.

+description: Use during /add-model Phase 4 or Phase 6 to prototype or parity-debug one FastVideo-native DiT/transformer component.
+---
+
+# Add Model Port DiT
+
+## Goal
+
+Prototype or parity-debug one diffusion transformer in FastVideo-native code.
+This skill is for one component only; do not work on the VAE, encoders,
+pipeline, or unrelated conversion code unless the current component cannot load
+without a minimal fix there.
+
+## Inputs
+
+Follow `../add-model/shared/component_skill_common.md` and require the complete
+packet from `../add-model/contracts/component_context.md`.
+
+DiT-specific packet fields:
+
+- `component`: transformer or DiT name.
+- `parity_test`: `tests/local_tests/<bucket>/test_<family>_<component>_parity.py`.
+- `weights`: converted transformer dir or local official path.
+- `target_files`: `fastvideo/models/dits/<family>.py` and
+  `fastvideo/configs/models/dits/<family>.py`.
+
+## Modes
+
+Use the common prototype and parity-debug modes from
+`../add-model/shared/component_skill_common.md`.
+
+DiT-specific prototype concerns include ambiguous official flags, shape
+mismatches, missing FastVideo layer equivalents, and dedicated output heads.
+
+## Reuse Proof
+
+Apply the shared reuse proof. DiT-specific comparison must include attention
+algorithm, positional embeddings, RoPE/patching, timestep/guidance embeddings,
+scaling constants, dtype casts, state-dict names, and every output head.
+
+## Existing FastVideo Patterns
+
+- Base class: `fastvideo/models/dits/base.py::BaseDiT`.
+- Config bases: `DiTConfig` and `DiTArchConfig` in
+  `fastvideo/configs/models/dits/base.py`.
+- Use the matching DiT config bucket. Wrong bucket inheritance can typecheck but
+  fail during pipeline wiring.
+- Config export: add the config to
+  `fastvideo/configs/models/dits/__init__.py`.
+- Registry discovery: set `EntryClass = <ClassName>` in the model file.
+- Loader path: `TransformerLoader` reads `transformer/config.json`, calls
+  `dit_config.update_model_arch(config)`, resolves `_class_name` through
+  `ModelRegistry`, and constructs the class with `config` and `hf_config`.
+- Reference examples: `stable_audio.py`, `wanvideo.py`, `sd3.py`, `longcat.py`,
+  and `ltx2.py`.
+- Layer guidance: `fastvideo/layers/AGENTS.md`.
+
+## Implementation Rules
+
+- Use FastVideo-native layers by default: `ReplicatedLinear` for DiT hot-path
+  linears, `DistributedAttention` for standard full-sequence attention, and
+  `LocalAttention` for local/window attention or simple single-GPU parity paths.
+- Raw SDPA is acceptable for cross-modality flat streams when no FastVideo
+  distributed equivalent exists; document the SP gap in the module docstring.
+- Mirror official tensor contracts exactly: latent packing, patch ordering,
+  timestep embedding scale, RoPE/positional embedding, guidance embedding,
+  cross-attention context order, output head order, and dtype casts.
+- Preserve all output heads that the official DiT emits. Do not silently drop
+  audio, depth, pose, mask, or auxiliary heads.
+- Put architecture fields on `DiTArchConfig`; keep inference steps, CFG scales,
+  FPS, flow shift, and sampling defaults out of the arch config.
+- Define `_fsdp_shard_conditions`, `_compile_conditions`,
+  `param_names_mapping`, and `reverse_param_names_mapping` where needed.
+- Follow the production import boundary in
+  `../add-model/shared/common_rules.md`.
+
+## Prototype Checks
+
+Follow the shared prototype success criteria. A useful one-off check is:
+
+```bash
+python - <<'PY'
+# Import the target config/class, instantiate with random weights, and print
+# state_dict names/shapes for the conversion mapping.
+PY
+```
+
+## Parity-Debug Loop
+
+Run the shared parity-debug loop. The component test command is:
+
+```bash
+pytest <parity_test> -v -s
+```
+
+For numerical drift, use `../add-model-08-trace/SKILL.md` before writing bespoke
+hooks. Start with FastVideo's activation trace (`fastvideo/hooks/activation_trace.py`;
+`docs/contributing/activation_trace.md`) and a block-level regex such as
+`FASTVIDEO_TRACE_LAYERS="^block\.layers\.[0-9]+$"`. Only fall back to custom
+per-block hooks if the needed boundary or statistic is not exposed by
+`FASTVIDEO_TRACE_STATS`.
+
+## Escape Hatches
+
+Follow `../add-model/shared/common_rules.md` and the component-specific guidance
+in `../add-model/shared/component_skill_common.md`. DiT-specific ask cases include
+dropping an output head/modality, accepting an unsupported kernel/private op, or
+choosing between incompatible official transformer definitions.
+
+## Handoff

+handoff rules in `../add-model/shared/component_skill_common.md`.

+## Goal

+- Shared tiling wrapper: `fastvideo/models/vaes/common.py::ParallelTiledVAE`.

+- Config export: add the config to

+- Registry discovery: set `EntryClass = <ClassName>` in the model file.

+- Reference examples: `oobleck.py`, `autoencoder_kl.py`, `wanvae.py`,
+  `ltx2vae.py`, and `gamecraftvae.py`.
+- Layer guidance: `fastvideo/layers/AGENTS.md`.
+
+## Implementation Rules
+
+- Name reusable VAE architectures by architecture (`oobleck.py`,
+  `autoencoder_kl.py`); name family-specific VAEs by family.
+- Match official encode/decode contracts exactly: input layout, latent layout,
+  temporal/spatial/audio compression, scaling factor, mean/std normalization,
+  posterior sampling behavior, decode output object, and frame/sample cropping.
+- Compare deterministic outputs in parity: decode outputs, encode mean/mode, or
+  round-trip tensors. Do not compare stochastic samples unless the RNG path is
+  explicitly controlled.
+- Use FastVideo tiling only when it preserves official numerics for the tested
+  shape; disable it in config for audio or unsupported dimensions.
+- Put architecture constants on `VAEArchConfig`; put `load_encoder`,
+  `load_decoder`, tiling, dtype, and pretrained path fields on `VAEConfig`.
+- Follow the production import boundary in
+  `../add-model/shared/common_rules.md`.

+description: Use during /add-model Phase 4 or Phase 6 to prototype or parity-debug one FastVideo-native text, image, audio, or compound encoder component.
+---
+
+# Add Model Port Encoder
+
+## Goal
+
+Prototype or parity-debug one encoder or encoder-like conditioner in
+FastVideo-native code. Use this for text encoders, image encoders, audio
+encoders, and compound conditioners that fit the encoder config/loader bucket.
+
+## Inputs
+
+Follow `../add-model/shared/component_skill_common.md` and require the complete
+packet from `../add-model/contracts/component_context.md`.
+
+Encoder-specific packet fields:
+
+- `component`: encoder or encoder-like conditioner name.
+- `parity_test`: `tests/local_tests/encoders/test_<family>_<component>_parity.py`.
+- `weights`: converted encoder dir, HF subfolder, or external HF id.
+- `target_files`: `fastvideo/models/encoders/<arch_or_family>.py` and
+  `fastvideo/configs/models/encoders/<arch_or_family>.py`.
+
+## Modes
+
+Use the common prototype and parity-debug modes from
+`../add-model/shared/component_skill_common.md`.
+
+Encoder-specific prototype concerns include tokenizer kwargs, hidden-state
+extraction, output packing, connector order, and external/passthrough weight
+needs.
+
+## Reuse Proof
+
+Apply the shared reuse proof. Encoder-specific comparison must include tokenizer
+contracts, hidden-state extraction, masks, positional IDs, output packing,
+connector/projection ordering, passthrough paths, and returned dataclass shape.
+
+## Existing FastVideo Patterns
+
+- Base classes: `TextEncoder` and `ImageEncoder` in
+  `fastvideo/models/encoders/base.py`.
+- Output type: `BaseEncoderOutput`.
+- Config bases: `TextEncoderConfig`, `ImageEncoderConfig`,
+  `TextEncoderArchConfig`, and `ImageEncoderArchConfig` in
+  `fastvideo/configs/models/encoders/base.py`.
+- Use the matching encoder config bucket. Wrong bucket inheritance can typecheck
+  but fail during pipeline wiring.
+- Config export: add the config to
+  `fastvideo/configs/models/encoders/__init__.py`.
+- Registry discovery: set `EntryClass = <ClassName>` or a list of class names in
+  the model file.
+- Reference examples: native `t5.py`, `clip.py`, `siglip.py`, `llama.py`,
+  `qwen2_5.py`, `gemma.py`, and compound `stable_audio_conditioner.py`.
+- Layer guidance: `fastvideo/layers/AGENTS.md`.
+
+## Implementation Rules
+
+- Reuse tokenizers and pure data utilities when needed, but do not add runtime
+  third-party model-class imports as a placeholder for a component that owns
+  weights or numerical behavior.
+- For LLM-style encoders, follow existing tensor-parallel patterns such as
+  `QKVParallelLinear`, `MergedColumnParallelLinear`, `RowParallelLinear`,
+  `VocabParallelEmbedding`, and `RMSNorm` when matching native examples.
+- Match official hidden-state extraction exactly: layer index, pooled output,
+  attention mask dtype, padding side, truncation, special tokens, final norm,
+  output_hidden_states, and returned tuple/dataclass shape.
+- For connector or conditioner modules, preserve sub-conditioner order and the
+  exact packing of cross-attention tokens, masks, and global conditioning.
+- Put tokenizer kwargs and architecture constants on the arch config when they
+  affect numerical behavior.
+- If an external HF encoder is explicitly accepted as a lazy wrapper, keep it
+  isolated, document why it is not a native port, and still require parity for
+  the wrapper's output contract.
+
+Hybrid external-HF encoder checklist:
+
+- Put external model folders in passthrough subfolders such as
+  `text_encoder/<external_name>/`, or record a root `model_index.json` path field
+  that the loader resolves to a local directory.
+- Keep external model parameters out of the FastVideo-owned state-dict surface
+  when the external model is loaded lazily from its own HF files.
+- Convert and strict-check only the FastVideo-owned connector/projection weights;
+  document external model weights as passthrough.
+- Add parity for the wrapper's final output contract and, when useful, a narrower
+  connector-only parity test that labels its scope as
+  `implementation_subcomponent`.
+- Verify the production loader resolves the same external path used by the
+  pipeline, not just the direct class used in the parity test.
+
+## Prototype Checks

+## Parity-Debug Loop

+Run the shared parity-debug loop. The component test command is:

+description: Use during /add-model Phase 4 or Phase 6 to prototype or parity-debug one non-DiT, non-VAE, non-encoder FastVideo component.
+---
+
+# Add Model Port Generic
+
+## Goal
+
+Prototype or parity-debug one scheduler, conditioner, upsampler, vocoder,
+adapter, preprocessor, or unknown component in FastVideo-native code.
+
+## Inputs
+
+Follow `../add-model/shared/component_skill_common.md` and require the complete

+
+Generic-component packet fields:

+  preprocessor, or unknown.
+- `parity_test`: `tests/local_tests/<bucket>/test_<family>_<component>_parity.py`.
+- `weights`: converted component dir, HF subfolder, or none.
+- `target_files`: matching `fastvideo/models/` and `fastvideo/configs/models/`
+  bucket files when applicable.
+
+## Modes
+
+Use the common prototype and parity-debug modes from
+`../add-model/shared/component_skill_common.md`.
+
+Generic-component prototype concerns include stateless/stateful ambiguity,
+missing loader buckets, source prefixes, mutable scheduler state, and output
+container shape.
+
+## Reuse Proof
+
+Apply the shared reuse proof. Generic-component comparison must include mutable
+state, scaling constants, scheduler/conditioner semantics, output containers, and
+whether the component owns state or is stateless.
+
+## Existing FastVideo Patterns
+
+- Schedulers live under `fastvideo/models/schedulers/` and expose `EntryClass`.
+- Upsamplers use `fastvideo/models/upsamplers/` plus configs under
+  `fastvideo/configs/models/upsamplers/`; see `hunyuan15.py`.
+- Vocoders and audio-specific modules can live under `fastvideo/models/audio/`
+  with configs under `fastvideo/configs/models/audio/`; see `ltx2_audio_vae.py`.
+- Compound conditioners may fit the encoder bucket when the pipeline loader uses
+  `ConditionerLoader`; see `stable_audio_conditioner.py`.
+- Registry discovery uses `EntryClass`; config bucket exports are required when
+  pipeline configs import them by bucket.
+- Use the narrowest matching config bucket. Wrong bucket inheritance can typecheck
+  but fail during pipeline wiring.
+- Layer guidance: `fastvideo/layers/AGENTS.md`.
+
+## Bucket Decision
+
+- If the component is a transformer/DiT, stop and use `add-model-03-port-dit`.
+- If the component is a VAE/autoencoder, stop and use `add-model-04-port-vae`.
+- If the component is a text/image/audio encoder or encoder-like conditioner,
+  stop and use `add-model-05-port-encoder` unless the loader requires a different
+  bucket.
+- Otherwise choose the narrowest existing bucket. Add a new bucket only when no
+  existing loader/config shape can represent the component without misleading
+  names or unsafe runtime behavior.
+
+## Implementation Rules
+
+- Match official behavior, not just shapes: constructor args, default values,
+  runtime flags, RNG use, dtype/autocast, scaling constants, masks, and output
+  containers all matter.
+- Keep the implementation minimal and native. Do not keep a runtime import of
+  the official implementation as the production component.
+- For schedulers, compare timesteps, sigmas/noise levels, step outputs, shift
+  handling, prediction type, and any mutable internal state.
+- For upsamplers, compare resize mode, align_corners, residual branches,
+  causal padding, normalization, and exact target-shape behavior.
+- For vocoders/audio components, compare waveform shape, sample-rate contract,
+  channel order, hop length, normalization, and dtype.
+- If private upstream deps are required only for tests, keep stubs under
+  `tests/local_tests/helpers/` and do not import them from production code.
+
+## Prototype Checks

+## Parity-Debug Loop

+description: Use during /add-model Phase 5 to write and verify a FastVideo checkpoint conversion script after native component prototypes expose FastVideo state-dict keys/shapes.
+---
+
+# Add Model Conversion
+
+## Goal
+
+Convert official weights into a FastVideo-loadable component layout after Phase 4
+native prototypes exist. The conversion script owns parameter mapping, component
+splitting, passthrough assets, config emission, and strict-load verification.
+
+## Inputs
+
+Follow `../add-model/shared/common_rules.md` for token/auth safety, state files,
+escape hatches, production boundaries, and skip/pass semantics.
+
+Require the initial request from
+`../add-model/contracts/conversion_request.md`.
+
+If the FastVideo key/shape dump is missing, return to `/add-model` Phase 4. Do
+not write a final mapping against an unimplemented component.
+
+For Phase 6 retry requests from component skills, also require the retry shape
+from `../add-model/contracts/conversion_request.md`.
+
+## Output
+
+- `scripts/checkpoint_conversion/<family>_to_diffusers.py`.
+- `converted_weights/<family>/` with `model_index.json` and per-component
+  subfolders.
+- Updated `tests/local_tests/<model_family>/README.md` with conversion command,
+  source layout, output path, and strict-load status.
+- Updated `tests/local_tests/<model_family>/PORT_STATUS.md` with conversion
+  state, retry history, open questions, and issues/blockers.
+
+## Reference Scripts
+
+- `scripts/checkpoint_conversion/convert_ltx2_weights.py`: component prefix
+  splitting, metadata config extraction, passthrough Gemma/tokenizer assets, and
+  optional component-only output.
+- `scripts/checkpoint_conversion/stable_audio_to_diffusers.py`: monolithic
+  `model.safetensors` split into transformer/VAE/conditioner, plus copied
+  passthrough subfolders. Use this shape for single-checkpoint official repos.
+- `scripts/checkpoint_conversion/convert_gamecraft_full.py`: separate official
+  sources for transformer, VAE, text encoders, tokenizers, scheduler, and root
+  `model_index.json`.
+- `scripts/checkpoint_conversion/longcat_to_fastvideo.py`: fused QKV/KV split,
+  renamed native transformer weights, and copied existing Diffusers components.
+- `scripts/checkpoint_conversion/pt_to_safetensors.py`: simple `.pt` extraction
+  helper for nested checkpoint dictionaries.
+
+## Source Layout Decision
+
+Choose exactly one primary layout:
+
+| Layout | Conversion behavior |
+|---|---|
+| `diffusers` | Usually no tensor remap; verify configs/classes and copy or update `_class_name` only when needed. |
+| `raw_official` | Convert a raw official checkpoint file or directory. Choose explicit component ownership before writing output. |
+| `separate_components` | Convert/copy each component from its own file or directory. |
+| `monolithic` | Load one model checkpoint and split state dict by authoritative prefixes into component buckets. |
+| `mixed` | Convert some components and copy passthrough components such as tokenizers, text encoders, schedulers, or already-Diffusers VAE dirs. |
+| `custom` | Document why none of the above fits before writing conversion code. |
+
+Monolithic checkpoints need explicit prefix ownership. For example, Stable Audio
+uses one `model.safetensors` with DiT, pretransform/VAE, and conditioner keys;
+the converter splits those keys into FastVideo component subfolders and writes
+per-component configs.
+
+## Script Shape
+
+Start from `templates/family_to_diffusers.py` or the closest reference script.
+Keep the script explicit and reviewable:
+
+- `COMPONENT_SPECS` or `COMPONENT_PREFIXES` declares component ownership.
+- `PARAM_NAME_MAP` declares key renames.
+- `SKIP_PATTERNS` declares intentionally dropped training-only keys.
+- tensor split/fuse helpers are named by operation, e.g. `split_qkv`.
+- `build_component_configs(...)` writes loader-compatible config files. Most
+  model components use `config.json`; schedulers use `scheduler_config.json`.
+- `build_model_index(...)` writes a root `model_index.json` matching the target
+  FastVideo pipeline and component classes.
+- verification reports missing, unexpected, skipped, unchanged, renamed, and
+  shape-mismatched keys.
+
+`model_index.json` library tokens must match FastVideo loaders:
+
+- standard native DiT/VAE/audio/vocoder/upsampler components loaded by existing
+  Diffusers-style loaders usually use `"diffusers"` with a FastVideo
+  `_class_name` in the component `config.json`;
+- text encoders, tokenizers, image encoders, processors, and feature extractors
+  usually use `"transformers"`;
+- `conditioner` currently expects `"fastvideo"`;
+- use fully qualified `"fastvideo.<module>"` only when intentionally relying on
+  the custom fastvideo-library escape path;
+- do not write bare `"fastvideo"` for transformer, VAE, or other loaders that
+  expect `"diffusers"` unless the loader explicitly expects it.
+
+## Mapping Rules
+
+- Use Phase 4 key/shape dumps to derive mappings. Do not guess from official key
+  names alone.
+- Preserve each component's official file paths, parity test path, and prototype
+  concerns in comments or structured constants near the mapping that uses them.
+- Every official inference parameter should be mapped, copied through, or listed
+  as intentionally skipped with a reason.
+- Every FastVideo prototype parameter should receive a tensor or be listed as an
+  intentional external/passthrough parameter.
+- Shape matches are necessary but not sufficient; check semantic pairing for
+  Q/K/V, gate/up/down, norm scale/bias, LoRA/base, and modality-specific heads.
+- If official and FastVideo fuse or split tensors differently, convert tensors in
+  the script rather than changing production code to match checkpoint quirks.
+
+## Verification
+
+Run conversion locally, then verify before returning to Phase 6. For retry
+requests, update the mapping, rerun conversion, and refresh only the implicated
+converted component when safe; otherwise rerun the full conversion.
+
+```bash
+python scripts/checkpoint_conversion/<family>_to_diffusers.py \
+    --src <official_weights> \
+    --revision <hf_revision> \
+    --dst converted_weights/<model_family>
+```
+
+Omit `--revision` for local sources or when prep recorded `default` / `none`.
+
+Minimum output layout:
+
+```text
+converted_weights/<family>/
+  model_index.json
+  transformer/config.json
+  transformer/*.safetensors
+  vae/config.json
+  vae/*.safetensors
+  scheduler/scheduler_config.json as needed
+  text_encoder/... as needed
+```
+
+Required checks:
+
+- `model_index.json` exists and lists every required component.
+- Each converted component has the config filename its loader expects and
+  safetensors weights when it owns weights. Scheduler dirs require
+  `scheduler_config.json`; most other native model dirs use `config.json`.
+- Weight filenames may vary by loader: transformer and VAE loaders glob all
+  `*.safetensors`; text encoders may load `*.safetensors`, `*.bin`, and
+  sometimes `*.pt`; `conditioner` currently expects
+  `diffusion_pytorch_model.safetensors`. Use the loader's actual accepted layout
+  rather than assuming one global filename.
+- Passthrough components are copied or referenced deliberately.
+- Each emitted component config validates through the same path production
+  loaders use. Instantiate the relevant config and call `update_model_arch(...)`
+  or `update_model_config(...)` with the emitted JSON so unknown keys fail during
+  conversion, not at pipeline load time.
+- Record production loader strictness for every stateful component. If the loader
+  intentionally uses non-strict loading, add explicit missing/unexpected-key
+  assertions in the parity test and document exactly which keys are allowed.
+- Each new FastVideo component strict-loads converted weights where its production
+  loader is strict. If strict loading is impossible, record the exact allowed
+  missing/unexpected keys and why they are not inference weights.
+- Retry fixes include the original component parity evidence and the new
+  strict-load result in `local_tests_readme` so the component subagent can resume
+  without rediscovering context.
+- `local_tests_readme` records the command, output directory, and strict-load
+  result.
+
+Do not chase numerical parity in this skill except to identify a conversion
+mapping bug. Long parity-debug loops belong to `/add-model` Phase 6.
+
+## Escape Hatches

+Follow `../add-model/shared/common_rules.md`. Conversion-specific ask cases

+name: add-model-08-trace
+description: Use during /add-model Phase 6 when component parity has failed and root cause requires layer-by-layer divergence analysis. Uses FastVideo activation trace first, falling back to custom hooks only for boundaries or stats the utility cannot observe.
+---
+
+# Add-Model Trace
+
+## Manual Invocation
+
+Load this skill when `/add-model` Phase 6 component parity has failed and the
+root cause requires layer-by-layer divergence analysis. This skill is not
+auto-fired. The calling subagent (DiT, VAE, encoder, or generic port skill)
+loads it when its standard parity-debug loop hits a wall and cannot isolate
+the divergence from end-to-end tensor comparisons alone.
+
+Do not load this skill for first-pass parity failures. Try weight-diff and
+end-to-end tensor comparison first. Load this skill only when those do not
+isolate the cause.
+
+## Goal
+
+Find the first numerical divergence point between FastVideo's port and the
+official reference, layer by layer, by instrumenting both sides at matching
+tensor boundaries. The investigation must leave zero source residue in
+production code when it closes.
+
+## When To Run
+
+After a component parity test FAILS at a bf16-noise-realistic tolerance AND
+the calling subagent's first-pass debug (weight-diff, end-to-end tensor
+compare) does not isolate the cause.
+
+Required inputs before starting:
+
+- A working FastVideo loader for the component under investigation.
+- A working official loader, typically via
+  `tests/local_tests/helpers/<family>_upstream.py::load_upstream_<component>`.
+- Shared deterministic test inputs (same tensors on both sides).
+- The component parity test file path and its current failure output.
+
+## Primary Path: FastVideo Activation Trace
+
+Use FastVideo's first-class activation trace before writing custom hooks:
+`fastvideo/hooks/activation_trace.py`, documented in
+`docs/contributing/activation_trace.md`.
+
+Pipeline runs attach trace to the transformer during pipeline initialization.
+Component-only parity harnesses may call `attach_activation_trace(model)` from
+local test/debug code; do not add trace calls to production model code.
+
+Prefix the failing parity command with a tight layer regex:
+
+```bash
+FASTVIDEO_TRACE_ACTIVATIONS=1 \
+FASTVIDEO_TRACE_LAYERS="^block\.layers\.[0-9]+$" \
+FASTVIDEO_TRACE_STATS="abs_mean,sum,max,shape" \
+FASTVIDEO_TRACE_STEPS="0" \
+FASTVIDEO_TRACE_OUTPUT="/tmp/opencode/fv_trace.jsonl" \
+pytest tests/local_tests -k "parity" -v -s
+```
+
+Match the layer regex to the actual `model.named_modules()` names. Empty or
+broad regexes are expensive; prefer block-level names first, then narrow to
+submodules after the first divergent block is known.
+
+## Trace Compare Contract
+
+One JSONL file per side. FastVideo output should use `FASTVIDEO_TRACE_OUTPUT`;
+the upstream harness should emit the same JSONL shape:
+
+```json
+{"module":"block.layers.0","tensor":"out","step":0,"abs_mean":0.0123,"sum":1.0,"max":0.5,"shape":[1,16,32]}
+```
+
+Compare rows by `(module, step, tensor)`. The first row whose `shape`,
+`abs_mean`, or `max` diverges beyond the component tolerance is the first broken
+boundary. Keep `FASTVIDEO_TRACE_LAYERS`, `FASTVIDEO_TRACE_STATS`, and
+`FASTVIDEO_TRACE_STEPS` identical between sides; if row order differs, sort or
+normalize before diffing.
+
+## Drill-Down Loop
+
+**Initial run:** trace every top-level block (`^block\.layers\.[0-9]+$` or the
+family's equivalent). Identify the first block index where `abs_mean` or `max`
+drifts beyond tolerance while earlier blocks match.
+
+**Drill run:** tighten `FASTVIDEO_TRACE_LAYERS` to submodules inside the first
+divergent block: attention output, MLP projections, norm outputs, modality
+adapters, or other named boundaries exposed by `named_modules()`.
+
+**Iterate:** if the first divergent operation is a free function or tensor op not
+visible as an `nn.Module`, use the fallback instrumentation hierarchy below.
+
+The loop ends when the first divergent submodule or operation is identified with
+a file:line citation in the official source.
+
+## Fallback Instrumentation Hierarchy
+
+Use these only when activation trace cannot observe the needed boundary or
+statistic.
+
+### (1) Custom forward hooks
+
+`module.register_forward_hook(...)` and `register_forward_pre_hook(...)`.
+Always within `try/finally` with `handle.remove()`. Zero source residue.
+
+### (2) Runtime monkey-patch
+
+`module.attr = wrapped_func` or `cls.method = wrapped_method`, restored via
+`try/finally` (save original first). Use for free functions and non-Module sites
+such as activation functions (`swiglu`, `apply_rotary_emb`).
+
+### (3) Source edits in FastVideo's own code
+
+Only when (1) and (2) are insufficient. Track all edits within a single named
+`git stash` boundary OR a temporary branch. Run `git diff` before closing the
+investigation to confirm cleanup.
+
+### (4) Source edits in official repo source
+
+Allowed only when hook and monkey-patch approaches cannot capture the site.
+For git-tracked or editable official clones, use `git diff` in the clone path to
+verify cleanup. For non-editable site-packages, back up the target file before
+editing and restore it before handoff.
+
+## Hypothesis Toggles
+
+Use env-var-gated monkey-patches to A/B test suspect implementations without
+source edits. Pattern: `<FAMILY>_DEBUG_PATCH_<HYPOTHESIS>=1`.
+
+Example from the magi-human investigation:
+
+```
+MAGI_DEBUG_PATCH_LINEAR=1
+```
+
+This patched `PackedExpertLinear.forward` to mirror upstream's
+`_BF16ComputeLinear` explicit-cast pattern, isolating a dtype-cast difference
+as the root cause.
+
+Document all toggles in the script docstring. Each toggle must:
+
+- save the original before patching;
+- restore the original in a `try/finally` block;
+- print a `[debug] Patched <ClassName>.<method>` line to stdout when active.
+
+## Cleanup Gate
+
+The calling agent MUST report `[cleanup-gate] PASS` on all five items before
+handoff. Do not hand off with any item unresolved.
+
+1. `git diff` in the FastVideo repo: empty. No stray prints, hooks, or
+   monkey-patches in production code.
+2. `git diff` in the official-repo clone (if used): empty. For non-editable
+   site-packages installs: `diff original.py original.py.trace-backup` is
+   empty OR `pip install --force-reinstall <pkg>` succeeded and the installed
+   file matches the original.
+3. `git stash list`: only the named investigation stash (or empty). No
+   unnamed stashes left from this session.
+4. No new untracked files outside `/tmp/opencode/` (logs) and the existing
+   debug script directory (`tests/local_tests/transformers/` or equivalent).
+5. `mypy` clean on any production files touched during the investigation.
+
+## Escape Hatches
+
+Escalate to the calling bucket skill when:
+
+- A forward hook on an official module raises because of a custom `forward`
+  signature or varlen handler args that the hook closure cannot satisfy. The
+  bucket skill has component-specific knowledge to work around this.
+- The first divergent layer is `block[0]`, meaning the divergence is in the
+  adapter, modality dispatcher, coordinate embedding, or packing step before
+  any block runs. Check those sites first; the bug is not in attention or MLP.
+- Per-block drift is never zero anywhere across all blocks. This usually means
+  the inputs are not bit-identical between sides. Verify with a state-dict
+  compare (weight-diff script) AND confirm the input tensors are the same
+  object or have identical values before the forward call.
+
+## Handoff
+
+Return to the calling subagent with:
+
+- FastVideo trace JSONL path and upstream trace JSONL path.
+- Trace settings used: `FASTVIDEO_TRACE_LAYERS`, `FASTVIDEO_TRACE_STATS`, and
+  `FASTVIDEO_TRACE_STEPS`.
+- The first divergent `(module, step, tensor)` row and observed drift.
+- The upstream file:line citation where the divergence originates.
+- Fallback hook/patch verdict if activation trace could not observe the boundary.
+- Hypothesis verdict if an A/B toggle was used, for example `PATCH_LINEAR=1`.
+- Cleanup-gate status: `[cleanup-gate] PASS` or a list of unresolved items.
+
+The calling agent uses this to scope the production fix in the FastVideo
+component file.
+
+## References
+
+- `docs/contributing/activation_trace.md` for canonical activation-trace env vars,
+  JSONL output, cost model, and troubleshooting.
+- `fastvideo/hooks/activation_trace.py` for the implementation and
+  `attach_activation_trace(model)` entry point.
+- `templates/block_trace_debug.py` in this skill directory: fallback custom-hook
+  template when activation trace cannot observe the needed boundary or stat.
+- `tests/local_tests/transformers/_debug_magi_human_block_parity.py` in the
+  FastVideo3 repo: historical worked example for custom hook/patch debugging.

+name: add-model-09-pipeline
+description: Use during /add-model Phase 7 after all required component parity tests pass to define FastVideo pipeline wiring, configs, presets, registry entries, examples, smoke tests, and pipeline parity tests.
+---
+
+# Add Model Pipeline
+
+## Goal
+
+Implement and verify the end-to-end FastVideo pipeline after the native
+components and converted weights have passed non-skip component parity. This
+skill owns pipeline class/stage wiring, pipeline configs, presets, registry
+entries, examples, smoke tests, and pipeline parity-debug.
+
+FastVideo has one pipeline architecture: stage-based composition through
+`ComposedPipelineBase`. Add or specialize stages only when existing stages cannot
+represent the official behavior safely.
+
+## Hard Gate
+
+Do not start pipeline work until every required component, including reused
+components, has a non-skip local parity PASS.
+
+If any component row is missing, skipped, red, or blocked, return to `/add-model`
+Phase 6. Pipeline parity cannot distinguish stage wiring mistakes from broken
+component numerics when component parity is still unresolved.
+
+## Inputs
+
+Follow `../add-model/shared/common_rules.md` for token/auth safety, state files,
+escape hatches, production boundaries, and skip/pass semantics.
+
+Require a complete packet matching
+`../add-model/contracts/pipeline_context.md`.
+
+The packet must include:
+
+- official pipeline files and official call/default sources;
+- workload types, input/output modalities, and output contract;
+- converted or source `model_index.json` path;
+- component parity rows, all `non_skip_pass`;
+- target FastVideo pipeline/config/preset/registry/example/test paths;
+- `local_tests_readme` and `port_state_file` paths.
+
+## Outputs
+
+- Pipeline package under `fastvideo/pipelines/basic/<family>/`.
+- Pipeline config under `fastvideo/configs/pipelines/<family>.py` or a documented
+  family-local config file when that matches existing project style.
+- Presets under `fastvideo/pipelines/basic/<family>/presets.py`.
+- Registry updates in `fastvideo/registry.py`.
+- Basic example under `examples/inference/basic/basic_<family>*.py`.
+- Local smoke and parity tests under `tests/local_tests/pipelines/`.
+- Updated `tests/local_tests/<model_family>/README.md`.
+- Updated `tests/local_tests/<model_family>/PORT_STATUS.md`.
+- Handoff matching `../add-model/contracts/pipeline_handoff.md`.
+
+## Mode: Pipeline Definition
+
+Use this mode first.
+
+1. Read the official pipeline call path before editing FastVideo code.
+2. Compare official defaults against the planned FastVideo config and presets:
+   steps, CFG scales, secondary CFG, flow shift, schedulers, sigmas, seed/RNG,
+   resolution, frames, FPS, duration, VAE scaling, decode slicing, negative
+   prompt defaults, and output heads.
+3. Create or update the pipeline class with `_required_config_modules` matching
+   the emitted `model_index.json` and `ComposedPipelineBase.load_modules`.
+   Runtime pipeline resolution is exact: `model_index.json["_class_name"]` must
+   match a registered `EntryClass.__name__`, or a wrapper/alias class in
+   `EntryClass`. Registry detectors do not select the executable pipeline class.
+4. Add new public generation kwargs to `fastvideo/api/sampling_param.py` before
+   examples or presets use them. `SamplingParam.update()` ignores unknown keys
+   except for logging, and preset defaults apply only to declared fields. Add CLI
+   args when the option should be available from command-line entrypoints.
+5. Put loader-time changes in `load_modules()` or earlier, not
+   `initialize_pipeline()`. `ComposedPipelineBase.__init__` loads modules before
+   `post_init()` calls `initialize_pipeline()`, so process-global flags, loader
+   path rewrites, dtype overrides, and tokenizer path changes needed for loading
+   cannot be introduced there.
+6. Use `self.get_module("transformer_2", None)` and similar optional accessors
+   for truly optional modules. Do not hard-require optional modules by accident.
+7. Avoid mutating class-level `_required_config_modules` in custom code. If a
+   pipeline needs dynamic modules, copy the list to an instance-owned value or
+   pass `required_config_modules` explicitly so one pipeline instance cannot leak
+   module requirements into another.
+8. Create the stage chain in official execution order. Prefer existing shared
+   stages for standard text encoding, timestep preparation, latent preparation,
+   denoising, and decoding.
+9. Add model-specific stages only for family-specific behavior that does not fit
+   the shared stage contracts.
+10. Add pipeline config classes for wiring and runtime defaults. Do not duplicate
+   component architecture fields unless a loader requires them in the subconfig.
+    Family-local config files such as
+    `fastvideo/pipelines/basic/<family>/pipeline_configs.py` are valid only when
+    `fastvideo/registry.py` imports and registers the classes explicitly.
+11. Add `InferencePreset` objects with `model_family`, `name`, `version`,
+    `defaults`, optional validation-only `stage_schemas`, and an `ALL_PRESETS`
+    tuple. `stage_schemas` validates user-facing `stage_overrides` names; it does
+    not drive `create_pipeline_stages()` execution.
+12. Register config classes and presets in `fastvideo/registry.py`: add
+    `register_configs(...)`, import the family's `ALL_PRESETS`, and append it to
+    `_register_presets()`. Detectors should cover HF paths and `_class_name`
+    strings for config/preset lookup, but not as a replacement for exact pipeline
+    class-name resolution.
+13. Add a basic example with a user-story docstring and normal file-path inputs
+    for image, audio, or video references. Keep orchestration glue in the
+    pipeline or a helper, not in the example.
+14. Add a separate smoke test
+    `tests/local_tests/pipelines/test_<family>_pipeline_smoke.py` that proves
+    imports, `EntryClass`, registry, presets, config defaults, and at least one
+    real load/generate path when weights are local. Older local tests sometimes
+    colocate smoke checks in parity files; new ports should use the separate file
+    convention.
+15. Add or update pipeline parity test scaffolding with
+    `templates/pipeline_parity_test.py`.
+16. Update `local_tests_readme` and `port_state_file` with commands, statuses,
+    default sources, decisions, and blockers.
+
+Production import boundaries are defined in
+`../add-model/shared/common_rules.md`.
+
+## Mode: Pipeline Parity Debug
+
+Run after pipeline definition and after smoke can execute far enough to load the
+pipeline. Loop until pipeline parity is a non-skip PASS or a precise blocker is
+returned.
+
+Mandatory order:
+
+```bash
+pytest tests/local_tests/pipelines/test_<family>_pipeline_smoke.py -v -s
+DISABLE_SP=1 pytest tests/local_tests/pipelines/test_<family>_pipeline_parity.py -v -s
+python examples/inference/basic/basic_<family>.py
+```
+
+Pipeline parity must compare real outputs, not only successful generation:
+
+- denoised latents when decode parity is expensive or nondeterministic;
+- decoded videos/images when visual output should be deterministic enough;
+- decoded waveform or audio features for audio pipelines;
+- separate video and audio targets for joint AV pipelines unless a validated
+  joint metric exists.
+
+Debug pipeline drift in this order:
+
+1. Confirm both sides use the same component weights and component parity PASS
+   results are still valid.
+2. Align official and FastVideo call arguments, presets, and default values.
+3. Align scheduler timesteps, sigmas/noise levels, prediction type, flow shift,
+   guidance math, and secondary-guidance branches.
+4. Align RNG: initial latents/noise, generator device, seed, per-step noise, VAE
+   sampling, and any official `+1 frame` or crop/slice behavior.
+5. Align conditioning: prompt templates, negative prompts, masks, image/audio
+   preprocessing, modality packing, text truncation, and dtype/autocast.
+6. Align decode: latent scaling, per-channel mean/std, tiling flags, output
+   channel order, sample rate, FPS, and final slicing.
+7. Add targeted stage-level diagnostics to identify the first divergent stage.
+
+If stage diagnostics show the first bad stage is transformer/denoising or a
+mid-DiT block, enable activation trace before adding ad hoc pipeline prints; see
+`docs/contributing/activation_trace.md` and `../add-model-08-trace/SKILL.md`.
+Keep `FASTVIDEO_TRACE_LAYERS`, `FASTVIDEO_TRACE_STATS`, and
+`FASTVIDEO_TRACE_STEPS` identical across reruns so pipeline parity traces diff
+one-to-one.
+
+If the first divergence belongs to component implementation, strict loading, or
+conversion mapping, stop pipeline edits and return `next_step=return_to_phase_6`
+with the exact failing evidence. Do not patch conversion from this skill.
+
+## Stage And Variant Rules
+
+- Canonical video T2V order: `InputValidationStage`, `TextEncodingStage`,
+  `ConditioningStage`, `TimestepPreparationStage`, `LatentPreparationStage`,
+  `DenoisingStage`, `DecodingStage`.
+- Canonical video I2V delta adds image loading/encoding and image VAE encoding in
+  the official order, commonly: `TextEncodingStage`, `ImageEncodingStage`,
+  `ConditioningStage`, `TimestepPreparationStage`, `LatentPreparationStage`,
+  `ImageVAEEncodingStage`, `DenoisingStage`, `DecodingStage`.
+- Treat `ConditioningStage` as default-present for Wan-style pipelines, but still
+  follow the reference if another family truly skips or replaces it.
+- T2V video pipelines usually use validation, text encoding, conditioning,
+  timestep preparation, latent preparation, denoising, and decoding.
+- I2V adds image loading/encoding and image-latent preparation according to the
+  official pipeline, not by assuming CLIP or Wan-specific branches.
+- Pick image, audio, and video encoders from the reference. Do not assume CLIP or
+  any other common encoder unless the reference uses it.
+- Cross-attention class names are not prescribed; match the family style and
+  preserve the official tensor contract.
+- `WorkloadType` currently has no `T2A`, `A2A`, or `AV` values. Until that enum
+  is extended, audio-only pipelines may register with `WorkloadType.T2V` and
+  preset `workload_type="t2v"` as a compatibility shim, but must document the
+  rationale in code and `PORT_STATUS.md`.
+- Audio-only pipelines should not force real video semantics into presets. Use
+  minimal video-shaped placeholders such as small `height`/`width` and
+  `num_frames=1` only when shared `VideoGenerator`/validation paths require them,
+  and document that the real output is audio.
+- Record modality-specific shape knobs and output contract in the pipeline
+  handoff: video uses `height`, `width`, `num_frames`, and `fps`; audio uses
+  `audio_seconds` and `sampling_rate`; joint AV records both plus whether output
+  is muxed or paired files.
+- Use sibling pipeline classes/configs when required modules, HF repo layout,
+  stage chains, or inputs differ materially.
+- Use one kwargs-driven pipeline class only when variants share weights,
+  modules, stage chain, and safe call semantics.
+- Split later if components diverge, workload tags require separate discovery,
+  signatures become unsafe, or stage branches become substantial.
+- If the DiT branches on `added_kv_proj_dim`, document the T2V/I2V split.
+- If the reference uses `transformer_2`, `boundary_ratio`, `guidance_scale_2`, or
+  DMD step lists, keep those on config, presets, or stages deliberately.
+- Support every official output head in scope. If a head is out of scope, record
+  explicit user approval in `PORT_STATUS.md`.
+
+Pipeline verification order:
+
+```bash
+pytest tests/local_tests/pipelines/test_<family>_pipeline_smoke.py -v -s
+DISABLE_SP=1 pytest -v -s tests/local_tests/pipelines/test_<family>_pipeline_parity.py
+python examples/inference/basic/basic_<family>.py
+```
+
+Smoke tests prove loadability only. They are not a substitute for numerical
+component or pipeline parity.
+
+## Escape Hatches
+
+Follow `../add-model/shared/common_rules.md`. Pipeline-specific ask cases include
+dropping a public mode, modality, or output head; adding a new workload enum;
+changing official defaults for user-facing behavior; accepting a known pipeline
+parity blocker; running GPU-heavy quality work outside the agreed scope; or
+publishing/uploading generated references or converted weights.
+
+## Handoff
+
+Return `../add-model/contracts/pipeline_handoff.md` and update the shared state
+files before handoff.
+
+Do not hand back a green pipeline if smoke or parity skipped locally. A skip is a
+setup gap, not a pass.

+# Add-Model PR Review
+
+Use this skill when a reviewed PR appears to add, port, or substantially modify
+a FastVideo model family, model variant, first-class model component,
+checkpoint conversion, model pipeline, or local parity coverage.
+
+This is a review skill, not an implementation workflow. Do not run `/add-model`
+or start writing missing port code during review. Use the add-model skill stack
+as a rubric for findings.
+
+## Trigger Paths
+
+Trigger this skill if `git diff --name-only <base>...HEAD` includes any of:
+
+- `fastvideo/models/dits/`, `fastvideo/configs/models/dits/`
+- `fastvideo/models/vaes/`, `fastvideo/configs/models/vaes/`
+- `fastvideo/models/encoders/`, `fastvideo/configs/models/encoders/`
+- `fastvideo/models/schedulers/`, `fastvideo/configs/models/schedulers/`
+- `fastvideo/models/upsamplers/`, `fastvideo/configs/models/upsamplers/`
+- `fastvideo/models/audio/`, `fastvideo/configs/models/audio/`
+- `fastvideo/pipelines/basic/`, `fastvideo/configs/pipelines/`
+- `fastvideo/registry.py`, `fastvideo/api/sampling_param.py`
+- `scripts/checkpoint_conversion/`
+- `examples/inference/basic/`
+- `tests/local_tests/`, especially component or pipeline parity tests
+- `fastvideo/tests/ssim/` or other quality-regression tests for generated media
+
+Also trigger when the PR title/body claims a new model, model variant, VAE,
+encoder, scheduler, conditioner, pipeline, conversion script, or generated-media
+quality baseline even if the path list is incomplete.
+
+## Review Inputs
+
+Read these add-model references as review checklists:
+
+- `../add-model/SKILL.md`: phase gates and final handoff requirements.
+- `../add-model/shared/common_rules.md`: token/auth safety, production import
+  boundaries, state files, and skip/pass semantics.
+- `../add-model/contracts/final_handoff.md`: final evidence expected from a
+  complete port.
+- `../add-model/contracts/component_context.md` and
+  `../add-model/contracts/component_skill_handoff.md`: component evidence and
+  parity-debug expectations.
+- `../add-model/contracts/conversion_request.md` and
+  `../add-model/contracts/conversion_handoff.md`: conversion evidence,
+  strict-load status, config validation, and retry context.
+- `../add-model/contracts/pipeline_context.md` and
+  `../add-model/contracts/pipeline_handoff.md`: pipeline class/stage/config/
+  preset/registry/example evidence.
+
+Then read only the satellite skill(s) that match touched areas:
+
+- DiT/transformer changes: `../add-model-03-port-dit/SKILL.md`.
+- VAE changes: `../add-model-04-port-vae/SKILL.md`.
+- Encoder/conditioner changes: `../add-model-05-port-encoder/SKILL.md`.
+- Scheduler/upsampler/vocoder/other components:
+  `../add-model-06-port-generic/SKILL.md`.
+- Component parity tests: `../add-model-02-parity/SKILL.md`.
+- Checkpoint conversion: `../add-model-07-conversion/SKILL.md`.
+- Pipeline/config/presets/registry/examples:
+  `../add-model-09-pipeline/SKILL.md`.
+- Prep/state docs: `../add-model-01-prep/SKILL.md`.
+
+## Required Review Lanes
+
+For a full model-family or model-variant PR, cover all lanes. For a
+component-only PR, cover the component, conversion/parity as applicable, and the
+documented downstream consumer.
+
+1. Scope and source-of-truth lane:
+   Verify the PR clearly identifies the official reference, weights/revision,
+   supported variants, modalities, output heads, and any approved scope cuts.
+
+2. Component lane:
+   Verify each required component is FastVideo-native or has a documented and
+   accepted lazy-wrapper exception. Check bucket/config inheritance, `EntryClass`,
+   state-dict surface, reused-component evidence, and output heads.
+
+3. Conversion lane:
+   Verify mappings are derived from prototype key/shape dumps, source layout is
+   supported, skipped keys are intentional, emitted configs validate through
+   production paths, component strict-load status is recorded, `model_index.json`
+   library tokens match loaders, and revisions are pinned when converting from
+   HF.
+
+4. Component parity lane:
+   Verify local parity tests exist for every required component, including reused
+   components. Scaffolds may skip in CI, but the PR must provide local non-skip
+   PASS evidence or an explicit accepted blocker.
+
+5. Pipeline lane:
+   Verify stage order, required modules, `_class_name` / `EntryClass.__name__`
+   resolution, config defaults, presets, `SamplingParam` fields, registry
+   registration, examples, smoke tests, and pipeline parity.
+
+6. Quality and evidence lane:
+   Verify media quality regression is added or explicitly deferred, examples run,
+   generated outputs are non-corrupt, `tests/local_tests/<family>/README.md` and
+   `PORT_STATUS.md` are current, and final blockers are surfaced in the review.
+
+## Findings To Prioritize
+
+Prioritize review findings in this order:
+
+- Missing or skipped required component parity without accepted blocker.
+- Pipeline parity/smoke/example missing or skipped for a pipeline PR.
+- Conversion emits unloadable or unvalidated configs/weights.
+- Wrong `model_index.json` `_class_name`, component library token, or registry
+  class resolution.
+- Runtime diffusers/transformers model-class imports for components that own
+  weights or numerical behavior.
+- Dropped modalities, output heads, variants, or conditioning streams without
+  explicit approval.
+- Reused FastVideo component lacks exact definition/instantiation proof or
+  non-skip parity.
+- Public generation kwargs/preset defaults missing from `SamplingParam`.
+- Tests only check shapes, importability, or successful generation without
+  numerical/media comparison.
+- Tokens, credentials, reference clones, staged weights, or generated bulk assets
+  committed to the PR.
+
+## Output Format
+
+Write normal code-review findings first, ordered by severity. Include file and
+line references from the PR diff when possible.
+
+Use this phrasing for missing add-model evidence:
+
+```text
+This PR does not satisfy the add-model <component|conversion|pipeline|final>
+gate because <specific required evidence> is missing. The risk is <runtime load,
+numerical parity, dropped output, registry resolution, etc.>.
+```
+
+Keep the summary short. Mention which lanes were reviewed and which could not be
+verified because assets, GPU time, or external credentials were unavailable.

+name: add-model
+description: Manual /add-model workflow for implementing a FastVideo model or first-class component port after add-model-01-prep has staged reference code and weights. Organizes the port into numbered phases with conversion rules, component policies, parity gates, and handoff checks.
+---
+
+# Add Model
+
+## Manual Invocation
+
+This skill is for explicit `/add-model` use only. Do not auto-start it from a
+casual model-port mention. The setup-only workflow is
+`../add-model-01-prep/SKILL.md`.
+
+## Goal
+
+Port a new FastVideo model family, model variant, or first-class reusable
+component so it can be loaded through FastVideo's native model, config, stage,
+registry, preset, and test infrastructure.
+
+FastVideo has one pipeline architecture: stage-based composition via
+`ComposedPipelineBase`. Vary the stages and modules, not the architecture.
+
+## Scope Shapes
+
+Use this skill for either shape:
+
+| Shape | Required output |
+|---|---|
+| Full model family or variant | Native components, conversion if needed, pipeline config/class, presets, registry, smoke test, local parity tests, example, quality regression. |
+| First-class component contribution | Native component class/config, bucket export, component parity test, and a documented downstream pipeline that will consume it. Skip pipeline/preset/registry rows only when the contribution is intentionally component-only. |
+
+If upstream ships many variants, lock scope before coding. "Base model" means
+checkpoint variant, not a modality subset. If the base checkpoint produces
+audio, pose, depth, masks, or other output heads, either support those outputs
+or get explicit user agreement to drop them.
+
+## Required Input
+
+Start from an `add-model-01-prep` handoff, or equivalent fields matching
+`contracts/prep_handoff.md`.
+
+Before Phase 0, read the shared rules and all relevant schemas:
+
+- `shared/common_rules.md`
+- `contracts/prep_handoff.md`
+- `contracts/port_state.md`
+- `contracts/escape_hatch.md`
+- `contracts/component_context.md`
+- `contracts/parity_status.md`
+- `contracts/conversion_request.md`
+- `contracts/conversion_handoff.md`
+- `contracts/component_skill_handoff.md`
+- `contracts/pipeline_context.md`
+- `contracts/pipeline_handoff.md`
+- `contracts/final_handoff.md`
+
+## Hard Rules
+
+- Follow `shared/common_rules.md` for token/auth safety, state files, escape
+  hatches, production import boundaries, and skip/pass semantics.
+- If the prep handoff is missing or ambiguous, stop and run
+  `../add-model-01-prep/SKILL.md`.
+- If a needed component is not ported, do not ship the pipeline that needs it.
+- Wan is grandfathered for missing local parity; do not copy its missing-test
+  precedent for new work.
+
+## Escape Hatches
+
+Follow `shared/common_rules.md` and `contracts/escape_hatch.md`. The main
+orchestrator should ask only when no phase skill can safely continue under the
+shared rules.
+
+## Files Map
+
+| Area | Paths |
+|---|---|
+| DiT | `fastvideo/models/dits/<family>.py`, `fastvideo/configs/models/dits/<family>.py`, bucket `__init__.py`. |
+| VAE | `fastvideo/models/vaes/<arch_or_family>.py`, `fastvideo/configs/models/vaes/<arch_or_family>.py`, bucket `__init__.py`. Name by shared arch when reusable (`oobleck.py`, `autoencoder_kl.py`), otherwise by family (`wanvae.py`). |
+| Encoder / conditioner / scheduler / upsampler | Native class/config in the matching `fastvideo/models/<bucket>/` and `fastvideo/configs/models/<bucket>/` bucket. |
+| Lazy loader wrapper | Optional `fastvideo/models/<bucket>/<family>_loader.py` or similar thin `nn.Module` wrapper when a component is fetched from an external HF repo and should be hidden from host-pipeline state-dict matching. |
+| Conversion | `scripts/checkpoint_conversion/<family>_to_diffusers.py` only when `needs_conversion=yes`. |
+| Pipeline | `fastvideo/pipelines/basic/<family>/<family>_pipeline.py` plus sibling files for variants whose components or required modules differ. |
+| Pipeline config | `fastvideo/configs/pipelines/<family>.py` or `fastvideo/pipelines/basic/<family>/pipeline_configs.py`. |
+| Stages | `fastvideo/pipelines/basic/<family>/stages/` only for model-specific stage subclasses. |
+| Presets / registry | `fastvideo/pipelines/basic/<family>/presets.py`, `fastvideo/registry.py`. |
+| Tests | Component parity under `tests/local_tests/<bucket>/`; pipeline smoke/parity under `tests/local_tests/pipelines/`; CI-backed quality tests under `fastvideo/tests/`. |
+| Example | `examples/inference/basic/basic_<family>*.py`, one per public mode/variant. |
+
+## Phase 0: Scope And Handoff Gate
+
+1. Validate every required handoff field.
+2. Resolve `needs_conversion=unknown` before component work:
+
+```bash
+python ".agents/skills/add-model-01-prep/scripts/inspect_hf_layout.py" \
+    "<hf-or-local-path>" \
+    --json
+```
+
+3. List first-PR scope across both axes:
+   - Variant axis: base, distill, SR/refine, causal, DMD, I2V, V2V, etc.
+   - Modality axis: video, image, audio, pose, depth, masks, text, etc.
+4. For component-only work, explicitly name the downstream full-pipeline PR or
+   planned consumer.
+5. Confirm `official_env_status` is `imports_ok` or
+   `private_deps_need_stubs`. If it is `blocked`, return to
+   `../add-model-01-prep/SKILL.md` before parity scaffolding.
+6. Confirm `local_tests_readme` exists and records official setup, HF weights,
+   dependency changes, and planned parity commands for reviewers.
+7. Confirm `port_state_file` exists, follows `contracts/port_state.md`, and has
+   rows for open questions/issues found during prep.
+8. If there are multiple official implementations, choose the one whose
+   architecture matches the published weights. A blessed library port can be a
+   better parity reference than a highly configurable research repo; document
+   the choice in tests.
+
+## Phase 1: Reference And Architecture Study
+
+Read the official pipeline call path before writing code.
+
+Record:
+
+- Required modules from `model_index.json` or equivalent: transformer, VAE,
+  text encoders, tokenizers, scheduler, image encoders, audio VAE, vocoder,
+  conditioners, upsamplers.
+- Input/output modalities and every dedicated DiT output head.
+- Text/image/audio encoding flow, latent shape, dtype, scaling, packing,
+  scheduler/timestep math, guidance math, VAE normalization, and decode flow.
+- Whether the official code relies on private deps, custom ops, or special
+  kernels that parity tests must stub.
+
+Arch config rule:
+
+- `ArchConfig` fields must match the emitted per-component config, especially
+  `transformer/config.json`, one-to-one.
+- Pipeline knobs do not belong on the DiT arch config: inference steps, CFG
+  scales, flow shift, FPS, VAE stride, text target length, data-proxy knobs,
+  eval defaults, and sampling defaults go on `PipelineConfig`, presets, or
+  stages.
+- If the HF repo is raw or has empty configs, synthesize
+  `transformer/config.json` from the official Python model-config class, not
+  from data/eval config classes.
+
+## Phase 2: Early Parity Scaffolding
+
+Create component parity tests before or alongside implementation. Use
+`../add-model-02-parity/SKILL.md` and its `templates/component_parity_test.py`.
+The official reference must import in the current FastVideo environment, or the
+prep handoff must identify private deps that will be stubbed locally for tests.
+Use `local_tests_readme` as the reviewer-facing source for setup commands and
+update its planned test table as parity scaffolds are added.
+
+This phase is early by design:
+
+- Official loading can be implemented from the reference study.
+- FastVideo loading can target planned standardized class/config/loader paths.
+- Tests may initially skip because the FastVideo class or converted weights do
+  not exist yet.
+- The scaffold must still contain real official loading, deterministic inputs,
+  output extraction, and concrete tensor comparisons. No unconditional skips,
+  no shape-only tests.
+
+Use subagents here: dispatch one parity-test subagent per required component,
+including components that may be reused. Their output becomes the red/skip
+target that porting or reuse-verification subagents make pass later.
+
+## Phase 3: Reuse Gate And Component Dispatch
+
+Build a component inventory before implementation:
+
+| Field | Meaning |
+|---|---|
+| Component | transformer, VAE, text encoder, image encoder, scheduler, conditioner, upsampler, vocoder, etc. |
+| Official definition | Repo-relative source file, class/function name, and relevant line/range if known. |
+| Official instantiation | Repo-relative pipeline/config/factory call site plus constructor args and runtime flags. |
+| FastVideo target | Existing class to reuse or new bucket/file/config to add. |
+| Parity test | Required local test path, including reused components. |
+| Status | `reuse_pending`, `reuse_proven`, `port_pending`, `non_skip_pass`, or `blocked`. |
+
+Reuse is allowed only from the checked-out FastVideo tree. Do not wait for or
+depend on an open PR adding a native class; add the native port directly in this
+PR if the current tree cannot be reused.
+
+Reuse decision:
+
+1. Record exact official definition and instantiation evidence for every
+   component.
+2. If an existing FastVideo class and config match both definition and
+   instantiation, pass that reused target to the bucket-specific skill in
+   `mode=prototype` and require reuse evidence plus key/shape dumps.
+3. If either definition or instantiation differs, port the component directly as
+   FastVideo-native code through the bucket-specific skill.
+4. Reused components still require non-skip component parity against the exact
+   official instantiation used by the target pipeline.
+
+Porting subagent dispatch:
+
+- Dispatch one subagent per component after Phase 2 parity scaffolds exist.
+- Use `../add-model-03-port-dit/SKILL.md` for DiTs/transformers.
+- Use `../add-model-04-port-vae/SKILL.md` for VAEs.
+- Use `../add-model-05-port-encoder/SKILL.md` for text, image, audio, or compound
+  encoders/conditioners that fit the encoder config bucket.
+- Use `../add-model-06-port-generic/SKILL.md` for schedulers, upsamplers,
+  vocoders, adapters, preprocessors, or unknown components.
+- Each subagent owns one component only and must loop on that component's local
+  parity test until it produces a non-skip PASS or returns a precise blocker.
+
+Every component subagent must receive a complete packet matching
+`contracts/component_context.md`. If any required path is unknown, pass `unknown`
+plus the exact search already performed. Do not silently omit ambiguous official
+files or prototype concerns.
+
+Bucket, layer, and attention rules live in the bucket-specific skills and
+`fastvideo/layers/AGENTS.md`.
+
+## Phase 4: Native Component Prototype
+
+Conversion needs a FastVideo state-dict surface. Use the Phase 3
+bucket-specific skill in `mode=prototype` for every required component, including
+reused components.
+
+Prototype success criteria:
+
+- the FastVideo-native or reused class/config can import and instantiate with the
+  exact official architecture args;
+- official and FastVideo key/shape dumps exist for every stateful component;
+- `local_tests_readme` and `port_state_file` record prototype status and concerns;
+- the returned handoff matches `contracts/component_skill_handoff.md`.
+
+Do not chase numerical parity in Phase 4. Prototype mode ends when conversion has
+the key/shape surface it needs, or when the component skill returns a precise
+blocker or escape hatch.
+
+## Phase 5: Param Mapping And Weight Conversion
+
+Use `../add-model-07-conversion/SKILL.md` after Phase 4 prototypes exist.
+Send a request matching `contracts/conversion_request.md`; consume the returned
+`contracts/conversion_handoff.md` update before Phase 6.
+
+Use the prep handoff's `needs_conversion` value:
+
+- `no`: verify the source already has the component layout FastVideo loaders can
+  consume, then record any passthrough components.
+- `yes`: write `scripts/checkpoint_conversion/<family>_to_diffusers.py` and
+  output `converted_weights/<family>/`.
+- `unknown`: return to Phase 0.
+
+The conversion skill owns source-layout handling, mapping derivation, config and
+`model_index.json` emission, passthrough assets, strict-load verification, and
+Phase 6 retry requests. Component skills must not patch conversion scripts or
+converted weights ad hoc.
+
+## Phase 6: Component Parity Debug
+
+This is the expected expensive loop. Dispatch one subagent per required
+component, including reused components, using the bucket-specific skill in
+`mode=parity-debug`.
+
+Each subagent gets:
+
+- the complete component context packet from Phase 3/4;
+- updated conversion mapping notes and strict-load result from Phase 5;
+- any prototype concerns or unknowns that were not resolved before conversion.
+
+The bucket-specific skills own parity-debug tactics. If a failure belongs to
+conversion, route it through `../add-model-07-conversion/SKILL.md` with a retry
+request matching `contracts/conversion_request.md`, then resume the component
+skill with the updated conversion handoff.
+
+When a component failure narrows to layer-by-layer numerical drift, load
+`../add-model-08-trace/SKILL.md` before writing custom hooks. It uses
+`fastvideo/hooks/activation_trace.py`; canonical env vars and JSONL format are
+documented in `docs/contributing/activation_trace.md`.
+
+Phase 6 ends only when every required component handoff reports
+`parity_status=non_skip_pass`, or when a precise blocker or escape hatch is
+recorded in `port_state_file`.
+
+## Phase 7: Pipeline, Stages, And Variants
+
+Do not start Phase 7 until every required component, reused or ported, has a
+non-skip local parity PASS from Phase 6. If any component parity test is still
+`scaffold_skip`, `debug_red`, `blocked`, or missing, resume Phase 6 first.
+
+Use `../add-model-09-pipeline/SKILL.md` for pipeline definition and parity-debug.
+Send a complete packet matching `contracts/pipeline_context.md`; consume the
+returned `contracts/pipeline_handoff.md` before moving to quality regression or
+final handoff.
+
+The pipeline skill owns:
+
+- pipeline class, stage chain, and optional model-specific stages;
+- pipeline config, presets, registry updates, and examples;
+- official args/defaults/presets comparison before setting FastVideo defaults;
+- pipeline smoke and parity tests;
+- continuous pipeline parity-debug until non-skip PASS or precise blocker;
+- updates to `local_tests_readme` and `port_state_file`.
+
+The pipeline handoff must explicitly cover stage order, variants, modality and
+output-head handling, config/preset/registry/example status, smoke/parity tests,
+and any return-to-Phase-6 evidence.
+
+## Phase 8: PipelineConfig, Presets, Registry, Examples
+
+This phase is implemented through `../add-model-09-pipeline/SKILL.md` after the
+Phase 7 component-parity gate passes. Accept the pipeline handoff only if it
+covers configs, presets, registry detection/exact class resolution, examples,
+new `SamplingParam` fields for public kwargs/defaults, and local smoke/parity
+status. Detailed rules live in `../add-model-09-pipeline/SKILL.md`.
+
+## Phase 9: Parity Activation And Local Verification
+
+Local parity is author-run, not CI-enforced. CI may only run package-level
+quality tests later. Before handoff, Phase 2 scaffolds must be activated into
+non-skip PASS results.
+
+Order is mandatory:
+
+1. Run conversion if needed.
+2. Run component parity for every required component, including reused ones.
+3. Run pipeline smoke.
+4. Run pipeline parity.
+5. Run the basic example.
+
+If pipeline smoke or parity points back to component implementation,
+strict-load, or conversion mapping, return to Phase 6 or Phase 5 rather than
+patching around the issue in the pipeline.
+
+Skip policy:
+
+- Follow `shared/common_rules.md`: a committed local test may skip for absent
+  clones/weights, but a local skip is not a verified pass.
+
+Use the commands and tolerance guidance from `../add-model-02-parity/SKILL.md` for
+component checks and from `../add-model-09-pipeline/SKILL.md` for pipeline smoke,
+pipeline parity, and examples. Record exact commands, status, and blockers in
+`local_tests_readme` and `port_state_file`.
+
+## Phase 10: Quality Regression
+
+Video outputs:
+
+- Add `fastvideo/tests/ssim/test_<family>_similarity.py` when output video
+  quality must be preserved.
+- Seed references through `seed-ssim-references` after the test exists.
+
+Audio outputs:
+
+- SSIM does not apply. Use an audio-specific regression metric such as
+  mel-spectrogram L1, multi-resolution STFT, CLAP cosine, or a project-approved
+  learned metric.
+- Document the metric and hardware/runtime assumptions in the test.
+
+Joint AV outputs:
+
+- Keep video and audio regression checks separate unless there is a validated
+  joint metric.
+
+## Phase 11: Post-Parity Review And Handoff
+
+After parity is green, run a hot-path review before handoff:
+
+- Hoist constant tensor allocations out of sampler/denoising loops.
+- Replace per-step `randn_like` churn with preallocated buffers plus
+  `.normal_()` when safe.
+- Move `torch.backends.*` flag changes to one-shot setup/load paths.
+- Delete `batch.extra` writes that nothing reads.
+- Derive magic constants from configs when possible.
+
+Pre-handoff checklist:
+
+```text
+[ ] Prep handoff is complete and committed nowhere with token values.
+[ ] Conversion was run if needed and output loads with real weights.
+[ ] Every required component, reused or newly ported, has a non-skip local parity PASS.
+[ ] `local_tests_readme` lists every component parity test, command, status, and blocker if any.
+[ ] `port_state_file` has every open question/issue either resolved or listed as an explicit blocker.
+[ ] Any `next_step=ask_user` has a matching `escape_hatch` block and `E###` row.
+[ ] Pipeline smoke has a non-skip local PASS.
+[ ] Pipeline parity has a non-skip local PASS against the official reference.
+[ ] Basic example runs and writes a non-corrupt output.
+[ ] Video SSIM or audio-specific quality regression is added or explicitly deferred.
+[ ] Runtime production code has no diffusers/transformers model-class imports.
+[ ] Production comments are WHY-focused; examples have user-story docstrings.
+[ ] Post-parity hot-path pass is complete.
+```
+
+Ask before deleting any reference clone or staged weights created by
+`add-model-01-prep`. Leave `.gitignore` entries so future parity assets stay
+untracked. Never commit the clone, weights, `.env`, credentials, or anything
+matching `*secret*`.

+# Shared Add-Model Rules
+
+These rules apply to every `add-model` related skill: prep, parity, conversion,
+component porting, pipeline, and the main `/add-model` orchestrator.
+
+## Token And Auth Safety
+
+- Never accept, print, echo, log, hard-code, or commit raw HF token values.
+- Refer only to token environment variable names: `HF_TOKEN`,
+  `HUGGINGFACE_HUB_TOKEN`, or `HF_API_KEY`.
+- Scripts may read those environment variables but must not print their values.
+- Ask for auth setup only by env var name. Do not ask the user to paste a token.
+- Read scope is needed for gated repos during conversion/load. Write scope is
+  needed for publishing converted weights or seeding generated references.
+
+## Shared State Files
+
+- `tests/local_tests/<model_family>/README.md` is the reviewer-facing setup and
+  verification log. Keep it current with setup commands, dependency blockers,
+  parity commands, conversion commands, and pass/blocker status.
+- `tests/local_tests/<model_family>/PORT_STATUS.md` is the per-port state file.
+  It must follow `../contracts/port_state.md` and keep stable `Q###`, `I###`, and
+  `E###` IDs.
+- Keep resolved questions/issues in `PORT_STATUS.md` with the resolution instead
+  of deleting them.
+- Before returning a handoff, update both state files when the skill changed
+  setup, tests, conversion, parity status, blockers, or decisions.
+- Do not include raw tokens, non-reproducible absolute cache paths, large
+  generated outputs, `.env`, credentials, or anything matching `*secret*`.
+
+## Escape Hatches
+
+Continue autonomously for recoverable setup, implementation, conversion,
+strict-load, smoke, parity-debug, lint, or test failures. Stop and ask the user
+only when the next action requires a product, cost, safety, auth, dependency, or
+scope decision the workflow cannot safely choose.
+
+Use `../contracts/escape_hatch.md` whenever returning `next_step=ask_user`.
+
+Ask for user input only for:
+
+- scope changes, such as dropping a modality, output head, variant, component, or
+  public mode;
+- core dependency changes, untrusted/private dependency installs, or version pin
+  changes;
+- auth setup for gated repos, using env var names only;
+- large downloads, publishing weights, SSIM/reference uploads, or GPU-heavy work
+  where cost/runtime approval is needed;
+- destructive file/git operations, overwriting existing clones/weights, or
+  deleting staged assets;
+- incompatible official sources of truth where no reference can be chosen from
+  published weights and docs;
+- accepting a blocker, loosening tolerances, using shape-only substitutes, or
+  shipping without required non-skip parity.
+
+Do not ask for normal recoverable failures: missing imports, missing local paths,
+skipped tests, failing parity, conversion mapping bugs, strict-load errors,
+format/lint failures, smoke failures, registry import issues, example failures,
+or implementation bugs covered by the phase workflow.
+
+Before asking:
+
+- update `PORT_STATUS.md` with an `E###` escape-hatch row plus any linked `Q###`
+  or `I###` row;
+- include exact evidence: command, path, short error text, parity or strict-load
+  excerpt, or blocker ID;
+- provide one recommended option and at most three alternatives;
+- set the relevant handoff `next_step=ask_user` and include the `escape_hatch`
+  block.
+
+Skill-specific escape-hatch sections may add extra examples, but they must not
+weaken these shared rules.
+
+## Production Boundary
+
+- No runtime `from diffusers import <model class>` or
+  `from transformers import <model class>` in `fastvideo/` production code.
+- Components that own weights or numerical behavior must be FastVideo-native
+  unless the user explicitly accepts a documented lazy-wrapper exception.
+- Allowed third-party runtime exceptions are tokenizers and pure data utilities
+  when they match existing project patterns.
+- Tests may import diffusers/transformers as parity references.
+- Production comments explain why, not what or provenance. Avoid narrative
+  comments like `vendored from`, `matches upstream`, `REVIEW`, or session-history
+  commentary.
+
+## Verification Semantics
+
+- A committed local test may skip when clones, weights, or private deps are absent
+  so CI and other contributors are not blocked.
+- On the porter's machine, a skip is not a pass. Fix the missing import, weights,
+  or path before claiming verification.
+- New ports require local non-skip parity for required components and pipeline
+  parity when a pipeline is in scope.
+- Smoke tests prove loadability only. They are not a substitute for numerical
+  component or pipeline parity.

+# Component Skill Common Instructions
+
+These instructions apply to `add-model-03-port-dit`, `add-model-04-port-vae`,
+`add-model-05-port-encoder`, and `add-model-06-port-generic`. Bucket-specific skills
+add target paths, implementation patterns, drift checks, and scope questions.
+
+## Required Context
+
+Require the complete packet from `../contracts/component_context.md`.
+
+Do not start if the official definition files, official instantiation files, or
+parity test path are missing. Ask the `/add-model` orchestrator for the complete
+component context packet instead of rediscovering broad scope silently.
+
+If the parity scaffold is missing, create it first with
+`../../add-model-02-parity/templates/component_parity_test.py`.
+
+## Prototype Mode
+
+Prototype mode runs before conversion:
+
+- implement or prove reuse for the minimal native component, config, export, and
+  `EntryClass` surface needed by the relevant loader;
+- instantiate with random weights using the exact official architecture args, or
+  instantiate/document stateless components with no weights;
+- dump official and FastVideo `state_dict()` names/shapes for every stateful
+  component so conversion can derive mappings from real surfaces;
+- return concerns discovered during prototype work, such as ambiguous official
+  flags, shape mismatches, private ops, missing loader buckets, passthrough
+  weights, or output heads;
+- update `local_tests_readme` with prototype status and key-dump paths;
+- update `port_state_file` with prototype status, open questions, issues, and
+  handoff notes;
+- do not chase numerical parity and do not block on converted weights.
+
+Prototype mode succeeds when the component imports, instantiates with official
+args, and required key/shape dumps exist. Converted weights and parity PASS are
+not required yet.
+
+## Parity-Debug Mode
+
+Parity-debug mode runs after conversion:
+
+- strict-load converted weights through the same path the pipeline will use, or
+  document that the component is stateless or an approved passthrough;
+- use `conversion_context` and `concerns_or_unknowns` to decide whether a failure
+  belongs to mapping, loading, implementation, tokenization, normalization,
+  scheduler semantics, or the parity test;
+- run only the component parity test first with `pytest <parity_test> -v -s`;
+- if it skips, fix the missing official import, FastVideo class, tokenizer,
+  converted weights, or path;
+- if it fails numerically, add targeted intermediate comparisons to identify the
+  first divergent operation or tensor;
+- update component implementation only when the failure is a component
+  layer/config/forward/contract bug;
+- update `local_tests_readme` with the command, result, and blocker or PASS;
+- update `port_state_file` with parity status, resolved/new issues, open
+  questions, and handoff notes;
+- keep iterating until the test is a non-skip PASS or return a precise blocker.
+
+## Conversion Boundary
+
+Component skills must not patch conversion scripts or converted weights ad hoc.
+If the first drift or strict-load failure points to wrong keys, missing tensors,
+shape mismatches, component prefixes, split/fuse logic, skipped-key policy, or
+config emission, return a conversion retry request for
+`../../add-model-07-conversion/SKILL.md` matching
+`../contracts/conversion_request.md`.
+Resume parity-debug only after conversion returns an updated handoff.
+
+## Reuse Proof
+
+When `fastvideo_target_files` point to existing FastVideo code instead of a new
+port:
+
+- compare the official definition against the FastVideo target: graph/operation
+  structure, parameter or state shapes, normalization, activation, positional or
+  temporal behavior, scaling constants, dtype behavior, state-dict names, output
+  containers, and output tensors;
+- compare the official instantiation against the FastVideo config and loader
+  args: constructor args, config values, defaults, variant flags, optional
+  submodules, checkpoint metadata, tokenizer/media paths, and loader path;
+- treat a matching class instantiated with different args as not reusable;
+- record reuse evidence in `local_tests_readme` and keep the reused component in
+  `prototype_key_dumps` when it owns state so conversion and parity-debug use the
+  same surface;
+- still run parity-debug to a non-skip PASS. If mismatch is found, return the
+  concern so `/add-model` can switch the component to a native port.
+
+## Handoff
+
+Return `../contracts/component_skill_handoff.md`.
+
+Mode-specific expectations:
+
+- In `mode=prototype`, `parity_status` may be `scaffold_skip` or `blocked`; key
+  dumps are the required artifact and successful prototype handoff should use
+  `next_step=phase_5_conversion`.
+- In `mode=parity-debug`, final success requires
+  `parity_status=non_skip_pass`.
+- If conversion is implicated, return `conversion_retry_request` and leave
+  conversion edits to `add-model-07-conversion`.
+- If production loading is non-strict, list allowed missing/unexpected keys in
+  the parity test or handoff and mark
+  `strict_load=pass_with_documented_exclusions`.
+
+## Escape Hatches
+
+Follow `common_rules.md`. Do not ask for normal prototype or parity-debug
+failures such as missing imports, tokenizer/path issues, red parity,
+strict-load failures, key mismatches, shape mismatches, or implementation bugs.
+Return conversion retry requests or precise blockers as directed by the workflow.
+
+Ask only when component work requires a scope or safety decision, such as
+dropping a required stream/output/path, changing core dependencies, accepting
+private model code or unsupported private ops, choosing between incompatible
+official definitions, creating a new loader bucket, or loosening required parity.

+description: Decompose an oversized FastVideo pipeline PR into a stack of independently-reviewable PRs. Tiers the diff by blast radius (invisible / dead code / cross-cutting infra / activation), produces a branch graph and worktree bootstrap, drafts the AGENTS.md manifest, flags missing tests on cross-cutting infra changes, and extracts lessons from the PR body.
+---
+
+# Decompose Pipeline PR
+
+## Purpose
+
+When a PR adds a new pipeline (or first-class component port) and crosses
+~3,000 LOC, single-shot review converges to rubber-stamping. This skill
+decomposes such a PR into a stack of independently-reviewable PRs without
+disturbing `main`.
+
+It is the inverse of `add-model`: where `add-model` walks adding a new
+pipeline as a fresh PR, this skill walks decomposing an existing oversized
+pipeline PR.
+
+**Worked example:** PR #1280 (daVinci-MagiHuman, 9,812 LOC, 56 files) →
+2 prerequisite PRs off main + 8-PR stack:
+- #1293 `will/activation-trace` (prerequisite)
+- #1294 `will/loader-infra` (prerequisite)
+- #1295 (1/8) housekeeping
+- #1296 (2/8) t5gemma encoder
+- #1297 (3/8) DiT
+- #1298 (4/8) pipeline stages
+- #1299 (5/8) pipeline orchestrator
+- #1300 (6/8) provenance (AGENTS.md, JOURNAL.md, lessons)
+- #1301 (7/8) conversion scripts
+- #1302 (8/8) registry activation
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Open PR number on `hao-ai-lab/FastVideo` (or any FastVideo fork)
+- `gh` CLI authenticated against the target remote
+- Local git worktree support (`git worktree`)
+- Git config `user.name` / `user.email` set
+- Pre-commit installed (`pre-commit install --hook-type pre-commit --hook-type commit-msg`)
+- The target PR's branch fetched locally as `origin/<feature-branch>`
+
+## Inputs
+
+| Parameter | Required | Description |
+|-----------|----------|-------------|
+| PR number or URL | Yes | E.g. `1280` or `https://github.com/hao-ai-lab/FastVideo/pull/1280` |
+| Max desired PR size | No | Defaults to ~2,500 LOC of code per stack PR (excluding generated/journal files) |
+| Output directory | No | Defaults to `.agents/tmp/decompose-<pr-number>/` (gitignored) |
+
+## Steps
+
+### 1. Verify ground truth (do not trust `gh pr diff --name-only`)
+
+`gh pr diff <N> --name-only` has been observed to emit phantom file entries.
+Always cross-check against the authoritative `git diff`:
+
+```bash
+mkdir -p .agents/tmp/decompose-<N>
+git fetch origin pull/<N>/head:<feature-branch>
+git diff origin/main..origin/<feature-branch> --name-status \
+  > .agents/tmp/decompose-<N>/files.txt
+git diff origin/main..origin/<feature-branch> --stat
+```
+
+Use the `--name-status` output as the authoritative file list. If it
+disagrees with `gh pr diff --name-only`, trust the git diff.
+
+### 2. Tier the diff by blast radius
+
+Classify every changed file into one of four tiers:
+
+| Tier | Description | Examples |
+|---|---|---|
+| **Tier 0 — Invisible** | Lint/style/CI configs that don't affect runtime | `.gitignore`, `pyproject.toml` (codespell only), agent documentation |
+| **Tier 1 — Dead code** | New files in their own dirs; aggregator one-liners | `fastvideo/models/dits/<new>/`, `fastvideo/pipelines/basic/<new>/`, `examples/inference/basic/basic_<new>*.py`, `tests/local_tests/<new>/`, `__init__.py` exports |
+| **Tier 2 — Cross-cutting infra** | Modifications to files used by every pipeline | See protected-paths list below |
+| **Tier 3 — Activation switch** | `register_configs(...)` calls + the example scripts that demo them | `fastvideo/registry.py` |
+
+**FastVideo Tier 2 protected paths:**
+```
+fastvideo/utils.py
+fastvideo/pipelines/composed_pipeline_base.py
+fastvideo/models/loader/component_loader.py
+fastvideo/configs/models/dits/__init__.py
+fastvideo/configs/models/encoders/__init__.py
+fastvideo/configs/models/vaes/__init__.py
+fastvideo/envs.py
+fastvideo/fastvideo_args.py
+fastvideo/distributed/**
+fastvideo/layers/**
+fastvideo/attention/**
+fastvideo/registry.py    # treat as Tier 3 if change is the activation
+```
+
+Tier 3 detection (mechanical):
+```bash
+git diff origin/main..origin/<feature-branch> -- fastvideo/registry.py | \
+  grep -E "^\+.*register_configs\("
+```
+
+If `registry.py` only contains `register_configs` additions, treat it as
+Tier 3. If it modifies existing behavior, treat it as Tier 2 (rare).
+
+### 3. Identify reusable Tier-1 components
+
+Within Tier 1, look for sub-trees that are **not** model-specific and could
+land separately:
+
+- Encoders matching a known multi-model base (T5/T5-Gemma/Llama/Gemma/CLIP variants)
+- New stage classes that subclass shared bases without referencing the new model
+- Hook/profiler/debug infra under `fastvideo/hooks/`
+- New helpers that have no model-specific dependencies
+
+These get split into their own PRs (e.g. PR 4 `t5gemma-encoder` in the
+MagiHuman example).
+
+### 4. Hunt for missing test coverage on Tier 2 changes
+
+For every Tier-2 file modified, check whether the original PR added unit
+tests for the new behavior:
+
+```bash
+for f in <list-of-tier-2-files>; do
+  echo "=== Tests for $f ==="
+  git diff origin/main..origin/<feature-branch> -- \
+    "$(echo $f | sed 's|fastvideo/|fastvideo/tests/|; s|\.py|*|')"
+done
+```
+
+If a Tier-2 PR has no accompanying tests, **emit a "must-add tests" list**
+with a sketch of the case grid. Tier-2 PRs do not ship without those tests.
+
+The MagiHuman example required this for PR-B (`utils.py`): the original PR
+shipped no `test_utils_loader.py`, so the decomposition added 9 unit-test
+cases covering the umbrella-detector boundary, the optional-component-dirs
+relaxation, and regression coverage on every existing 2-segment HF id.
+
+### 5. Build the dependency DAG and topo-sort
+
+Edges:
+- Tier 2 infra → Tier 1 code that imports it
+- Reusable Tier 1 components → model-specific Tier 1 code that uses them
+  (encoder before DiT before pipeline)
+- Tier 1 → Tier 3 (activation always last)
+- Tier 0 has no dependents (lands first as a freebie)
+
+Topo-sort produces the stack ordering. Pull Tier-2 PRs **out of the stack**
+when they have no model-specific dependency — they should land off main
+with their own focused review, not buried in a model port.
+
+Render as a tree (markdown):
+
+```
+main
+ ├─ <prereq-A>
+ │   └─ <prereq-B>
+ │       ├─ <stack-01-housekeeping>
+ │       │   └─ <stack-02-encoder>
+ │       │       └─ <stack-03-dit>
+ │       │           └─ ...
+ │       │               └─ <stack-N-activate>
+ │       └─ (parallel) <skill-pr> off main
+```
+
+### 6. Detect mis-shelved docs and debug scratch
+
+Two categories to flag:
+
+- **Mis-shelved docs**: Markdown files under `tests/local_tests/` are
+  journals, not tests. Flag for relocation to the package dir as
+  `JOURNAL.md`.
+- **Debug scratch**: files starting with `_debug_`, `_scratch_`, or
+  `_explore_`. Flag for drop (do not carry into any output PR).
+
+For MagiHuman: `tests/local_tests/magi-human.md` → relocate. Two
+`_debug_magi_human_*.py` files → drop.
+
+### 7. Author the AGENTS.md manifest skeleton
+
+For the new pipeline package, generate a 6-section `AGENTS.md` scaffold
+with the file table pre-populated from the diff:
+
+1. **Manifest** — file table by role
+2. **Parity invariants** — load-bearing rules with one-paragraph each + lesson refs
+3. **Cross-refs** — "If you change X, re-run Y" matrix
+4. **Run book** — single pytest command + prereqs (HF tokens, GPU, wall-time)
+5. **Open questions** — known issues (e.g. tolerance carve-outs)
+6. **Provenance** — PR table with branch names and source SHA
+
+The provenance section is filled incrementally during stack execution and
+finalized in the activation PR.
+
+### 8. Extract lessons from the PR body
+
+Scan the PR body for sections titled "Key implementation work", "Bug hunt",
+"Lessons", or sentences with patterns like "took N waves to localize",
+"silent regression", "investigation revealed". Each becomes a candidate
+`.agents/lessons/<YYYY-MM-DD>_<slug>.md` draft.
+
+Lessons MUST follow the existing template in
+`.agents/lessons/README.md`:
+- YAML frontmatter: `date`, `experiment`, `category`, `severity`
+- Sections: What Happened, Root Cause, Fix / Workaround, Prevention
+- Filename: `<YYYY-MM-DD>_<short-slug>.md`
+
+Lessons co-locate with the code they concern: a conversion-script lesson
+lands in the same PR as the conversion script, not in the docs PR.
+
+### 9. Emit the commit-footer convention
+
+Every commit in the stack ends with:
+
+```
+<Feature>-Stack: N/M
+```
+
+E.g. `Magi-Stack: 5/8`. Use the package directory name as the feature key.
+After all PRs squash-merge, `git log --grep='^<Feature>-Stack:'` reconstructs
+the lineage even if PR numbers later get renumbered.
+
+### 10. Produce the worktree bootstrap
+
+Generate a runnable bash script:
+
+```bash
+#!/bin/bash
+set -euo pipefail
+
+REPO=/home/<user>/FastVideo
+WORKTREE=/home/<user>/FastVideoMagi   # NB: directory name must be a valid
+                                       # Python identifier (no hyphens) so
+                                       # mypy doesn't choke
+SOURCE_PR=<N>
+SOURCE_BRANCH=will/<feature>
+SOURCE_SHA=$(git -C "$REPO" rev-parse "origin/$SOURCE_BRANCH")
+
+git -C "$REPO" fetch origin main:main
+git -C "$REPO" fetch "origin/$SOURCE_BRANCH"
+git -C "$REPO" worktree add "$WORKTREE" origin/main
+
+# Capture baseline for provenance. Everything under .agents/tmp is transient
+# and ignored by git.
+OUTPUT_DIR="$REPO/.agents/tmp/decompose-$SOURCE_PR"
+mkdir -p "$OUTPUT_DIR"
+cat > "$OUTPUT_DIR/<feature>-baseline-${SOURCE_SHA:0:8}.txt" <<EOF
+Source PR: <repo>#$SOURCE_PR
+Source SHA: $SOURCE_SHA
+Authoritative file count: $(git -C "$REPO" diff origin/main..origin/$SOURCE_BRANCH --name-only | wc -l)
+Date captured: $(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)
+EOF
+```
+
+### 11. Author preserve via `git checkout`, not `cherry-pick`
+
+For each stack PR:
+
+```bash
+git -C "$WORKTREE" switch -c <new-branch> <base-branch>
+git -C "$WORKTREE" checkout origin/<source-branch> -- <file1> <file2> ...
+git -C "$WORKTREE" commit -m "[<scope>]: <subject>
+
+<body>
+
+<Feature>-Stack: N/M"
+git -C "$WORKTREE" push -u origin <new-branch>
+gh pr create --base <base-branch> --head <new-branch> --title "..." --body "$(cat <<EOF ... EOF)"
+```
+
+Notes:
+- `git checkout origin/<source> -- <files>` extracts only the named files,
+  preserving the diff. The original PR's author is **not** preserved on the
+  new commit (it's authored by whoever runs the script). Reference the
+  original PR + source SHA in every commit body and PR description for
+  authorship attribution.
+- **Never use `git cherry-pick`** for this workflow — cherry-pick applies
+  whole commits, which mixes concerns across PR boundaries.
+
+## Outputs
+
+The skill produces all transient planning artifacts under
+`.agents/tmp/decompose-<pr>/`:
+
+1. A markdown decomposition plan (`plan.md`)
+2. A proposed branch graph
+3. A worktree-bootstrap script (`bootstrap.sh`)
+4. Per-PR file allocation lists (under `stack/`)
+5. AGENTS.md scaffolds for any new pipeline packages
+6. Draft lesson files (placed alongside the PR that owns the code they concern)
+7. A finalized provenance table for the package AGENTS.md
+
+## Anti-Patterns
+
+The skill should warn against:
+
+- **"Just rebase the megaPR into smaller commits."** Doesn't help review;
+  reviewer still sees one PR.
+- **Co-locating tests under the new package.** FastVideo's convention is
+  by-kind under `fastvideo/tests/` and `tests/local_tests/<family>/`. Don't
+  invent a new layout per pipeline.
+- **Splitting Tier 2 changes into "one file per PR."** Tier 2 PRs are
+  about semantic units (e.g., "loader umbrella + optional component dirs"
+  together because they jointly define the new diffusers-format contract),
+  not file-count.
+- **Landing the activation switch first** ("just register, the code can
+  be empty"). The skill enforces activation-last so every intermediate
+  state is dead code, not broken code.
+- **Trusting `gh pr diff --name-only`.** Cross-check against
+  `git diff origin/main..origin/<feature-branch> --name-status` —
+  `gh`'s output has been observed to include phantom entries.
+- **Worktree dir names with hyphens.** mypy interprets them as invalid
+  Python package names and refuses to run. Use CamelCase or underscores.
+- **Skipping the lesson-extraction step.** PR bodies contain the most
+  expensive learnings of the original implementation. Losing them to a
+  squash-merge is the silent decay of institutional knowledge.
+
+## Example Usage
+
+```
+User: split PR 1280
+Agent: [invokes decompose-pipeline-pr]
+       → produces .agents/tmp/decompose-1280/plan.md with:
+         - tiered file table (56 files: 3 tier-0, 35 tier-1, 9 tier-2,
+           9 tier-3)
+         - branch graph (PR-A + PR-B + 8-PR stack)
+         - worktree bootstrap script
+         - per-PR file lists
+         - AGENTS.md scaffold for fastvideo/pipelines/basic/magi_human/
+         - 3 draft lessons extracted from the PR body
+       → asks user to confirm before opening branches
+```

+---
+
+# dreamverse-deploy — redeploy migrated Dreamverse on a chosen GPU
+
+**Scope:** project (lives in this repo at `.agents/skills/dreamverse-deploy/`)
+
+**When to use:** you want to (re)launch the migrated `apps/dreamverse/` backend
+and frontend on this dev node, pinned to a specific physical GPU. Tears down
+any existing deploy on the same ports first, then boots fresh and waits for
+both `/readyz` and the FE root to return 200.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Working tree containing `apps/dreamverse/`
+- `dreamverse-server` installed from this checkout; if missing, run
+  `uv pip install -e ".[dreamverse]"`
+- Local conda env at `~/miniconda3/envs/fv-main/` with `flashinfer-python`,
+  `cerebras-cloud-sdk`, `openai` installed (override the default path with
+  `DREAMVERSE_PYTHON=/path/to/python`)
+- `~/.env` exporting `CEREBRAS_API_KEY`, `GROQ_API_KEY`, etc.
+- npm available in `$PATH` (or set `NPM=/path/to/npm`)
+- `gcc-13` + `g++-13` at `/usr/bin/` (workaround for nvcc gcc-15 rejection)
+- **Recommended:** native ffmpeg at `$HOME/opt/ffmpeg-native/bin/ffmpeg`, built
+  via `bash apps/dreamverse/scripts/install_native_ffmpeg.sh`. The deploy
+  detects that binary directly and exports it for the backend. The installer's
+  generated `apps/dreamverse/scripts/ffmpeg-env.sh` is for manual launches.
+  When the binary is missing, the deploy falls back to system ffmpeg with a
+  warning. Set
+  `DREAMVERSE_REQUIRE_NATIVE_FFMPEG=true` to make the missing binary a hard
+  failure.
+
+If any required prereq is missing, the script fails fast with a clear message.
+
+## Usage
+
+```bash
+# Deploy on GPU 4 with the current web port. The legacy helper default remains
+# 5274, so pass 5299 explicitly. Torch compile and warmup are both off.
+./.agents/skills/dreamverse-deploy/scripts/dreamverse-deploy.sh 4 8009 5299
+
+# Deploy on GPU 6 with custom ports
+./.agents/skills/dreamverse-deploy/scripts/dreamverse-deploy.sh 6 8089 5275
+
+# Deploy on GPU 0 with warmup enabled
+./.agents/skills/dreamverse-deploy/scripts/dreamverse-deploy.sh --warmup 0 8009 5299
+
+# Deploy with torch.compile enabled (max-autotune; first segment ~3-4min,
+# subsequent segments save ~3s — only worth it for benchmarking)
+./.agents/skills/dreamverse-deploy/scripts/dreamverse-deploy.sh --torch-compile 4 8009 5299
+
+# Deploy with both warmup AND torch.compile enabled
+./.agents/skills/dreamverse-deploy/scripts/dreamverse-deploy.sh --warmup --torch-compile 4 8009 5299
+
+# Flags can appear before, between, or after positional args
+./.agents/skills/dreamverse-deploy/scripts/dreamverse-deploy.sh 4 8089 5275 --warmup
+```
+
+### Arguments
+
+| Position | Name | Default | Notes |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| 1 | `GPU` | (required) | Physical GPU index, e.g. `4` |
+| 2 | `BACKEND_PORT` | `8009` | TCP port for the FastAPI server |
+| 3 | `FRONTEND_PORT` | `5274` | TCP port for the Next.js dev server |
+
+### Flags
+
+| Flag | Default | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| `--warmup` / `--no-warmup` | off | Run GPU warmup at boot (~minutes). Overrides `DREAMVERSE_WARMUP` |
+| `--torch-compile` / `--no-torch-compile` | off | Enable max-autotune `torch.compile`. First segment ~3-4min when on, ~45s when off. Overrides `DREAMVERSE_TORCH_COMPILE` |
+| `--nvenc` / `--no-nvenc` | off | Use `h264_nvenc` hardware encoder instead of `libx264` software. Eliminates ~1100ms/segment of CPU encoding cost (raises realtime ratio from ~0.78x → ≥1.0x, eliminating inter-segment buffer-drain stutter). Requires native ffmpeg built with `--enable-nvenc` (the install script's default since the NVENC update). Hard-fails up-front if the binary is missing or lacks NVENC. Overrides `DREAMVERSE_NVENC` |
+| `-h` / `--help` | — | Show usage |
+
+Flags can appear in any position relative to the positional args. Explicit flag values always win over env-var defaults.
+
+### Environment variables (used when no flag is given)
+
+| Var | Default | Purpose |
+|---|---|---|
+| `DREAMVERSE_WARMUP` | `false` | Same as `--warmup`/`--no-warmup`. Flag takes precedence |
+| `DREAMVERSE_TORCH_COMPILE` | `false` | Same as `--torch-compile`/`--no-torch-compile`. Flag takes precedence |
+| `DREAMVERSE_NVENC` | `false` | Same as `--nvenc`/`--no-nvenc`. Flag takes precedence |
+| `DREAMVERSE_PYTHON` | `~/miniconda3/envs/fv-main/bin/python` | Conda environment used for the flashinfer prerequisite probe; `dreamverse-server` itself is resolved from `PATH` |
+| `DREAMVERSE_REPO_ROOT` | git rev-parse | Repo root override |
+| `DREAMVERSE_LOG_DIR` | `/tmp/opencode/dreamverse-deploy` | Directory for the per-GPU backend and per-port frontend logs |
+| `DREAMVERSE_REQUIRE_NATIVE_FFMPEG` | `false` | If `true`, fail when `$HOME/opt/ffmpeg-native/bin/ffmpeg` is absent |
+
+## What it does
+
+1. Validates prereqs.
+2. Kills any process on the target backend/frontend ports + waits for the
+   target GPU to release memory (allows up to 30s for cleanup).
+3. Sources `~/.env`.
+4. Exports the env recipe required for boot:
+   - `CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES=<gpu>`
+   - `FASTVIDEO_ENABLE_DEVTOOLS=1`
+   - `FASTVIDEO_ENABLE_STARTUP_WARMUP=<DREAMVERSE_WARMUP>`
+   - `FASTVIDEO_GPU_COUNT=1`
+   - `ENABLE_TORCH_COMPILE=<0|1 derived from DREAMVERSE_TORCH_COMPILE>`
+   - `CC=/usr/bin/gcc-13 CXX=/usr/bin/g++-13 CUDAHOSTCXX=/usr/bin/g++-13`
+   - `NVCC_PREPEND_FLAGS="-ccbin /usr/bin/gcc-13 -allow-unsupported-compiler"`
+   - `FASTVIDEO_FFMPEG_BIN=$HOME/opt/ffmpeg-native/bin/ffmpeg` +
+     `FASTVIDEO_VIDEO_CODEC=<libx264|h264_nvenc>` (when the native binary exists)
+5. Launches the installed `dreamverse-server` console command in a detached
+   `setsid` session and captures its PID.
+6. Polls `/readyz` until 200. The budget is 5 minutes by default, 8 minutes
+   with one startup optimization enabled, and 15 minutes with both warmup and
+   `torch.compile` enabled.
+7. Launches the devtools frontend through npm in a detached session and
+   captures its PID.
+8. Polls FE `/` until 200 (max 60s).
+9. Prints URLs, PIDs, and log paths.
+
+## What it does NOT do
+
+- Does not modify `~/.env` or the FastVideo `.venv`.
+- Does not push code or commit anything.
+- Does not run Playwright. Use the e2e wrapper separately:
+  ```bash
+  cd apps/dreamverse/web
+  PLAYWRIGHT_SKIP_WEBSERVER=1 BACKEND_HOST=127.0.0.1 BACKEND_PORT=8009 \
+    PLAYWRIGHT_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:5299 \
+    NEXT_PUBLIC_INCLUDE_DEVTOOLS=1 \
+    npm exec -- playwright test
+  ```
+  The standard suite runs by default; the long-running two-segment
+  audio-continuation spec is gated behind
+  `PLAYWRIGHT_LONG_RUNNING=1` (see below).
+
+## Long-running e2e (paired with `--warmup --torch-compile`)
+
+[`apps/dreamverse/web/e2e/long-running-segments.spec.ts`](../../../apps/dreamverse/web/e2e/long-running-segments.spec.ts)
+drives a real two-segment session through the FE, captures every WS
+frame, and asserts segments 1 AND 2 both reach `media_segment_complete`
+with at least one binary fMP4 chunk per segment. It guards against the
+BrokenPipe regression previously caused by dropped LTX-2 audio continuation
+kwargs.
+Skipped by default. Enable with:
+
+```bash
+./.agents/skills/dreamverse-deploy/scripts/dreamverse-deploy.sh \
+    --warmup --torch-compile 4 8009 5299
+
+cd apps/dreamverse/web
+PLAYWRIGHT_SKIP_WEBSERVER=1 \
+  BACKEND_HOST=127.0.0.1 \
+  BACKEND_PORT=8009 \
+  PLAYWRIGHT_BASE_URL=http://127.0.0.1:5299 \
+  NEXT_PUBLIC_INCLUDE_DEVTOOLS=1 \
+  PLAYWRIGHT_LONG_RUNNING=1 \
+  npm exec -- playwright test e2e/long-running-segments.spec.ts
+```
+
+Expected runtime: ~7-9 minutes on a B200 (torch.compile max-autotune
+warm-up dominates the cold start; per-test timeout is 900s). The spec
+hard-fails on any WS `error`/`step_error` frame so the BrokenPipe
+regression surfaces with the actual ffmpeg/audio diagnostics rather
+than an opaque "test timed out".
+
+## Teardown
+
+Stop both services without redeploying:
+
+```bash
+# Stop services on default ports (port-pattern based)
+./.agents/skills/dreamverse-deploy/scripts/dreamverse-deploy.sh --stop
+
+# Stop AND nuke any process holding GPU N
+./.agents/skills/dreamverse-deploy/scripts/dreamverse-deploy.sh --stop 4
+```
+
+The redeploy path (`<GPU>` mode) automatically nukes any process holding the
+target GPU before launching — including orphan `multiproc_executor` worker
+subprocesses left over from a parent backend that was killed without grace.
+This was the failure mode of an earlier naive port-only kill: parent dies,
+children survive, GPU stays full, next deploy OOMs.
+
+## Notes
+
+- The installed `dreamverse-server` console command enters
+  `apps/dreamverse/dreamverse/server_entry.py`, which loads the current
+  Dreamverse runtime from `apps/dreamverse/dreamverse/`.
+- The B200 / sm_100a NVCC flags are mandatory on this dev node because the
+  conda toolchain ships gcc-15, which nvcc rejects. The script requires the
+  configured gcc-13 and g++-13 binaries during preflight.
+
+## Deployment boundary
+
+This skill is for a local checkout on a directly attached GPU. For a container
+image, use `apps/dreamverse/docker/README.md`. For Modal, follow
+`apps/dreamverse/scripts/modal/README.md`; do not adapt this process-killing
+workflow to a remote deployment.

+name: reseed-performance-baseline
+description: Re-seed the HF performance-tracking baseline for an intentional runtime, dependency, or environment-caused benchmark shift using one or more reviewed normalized performance JSONs. Use when performance CI fails because metrics such as latency, throughput, component time, or peak memory changed for an accepted reason and the rolling median baseline in FastVideo/performance-tracking must be advanced from a consistent batch of reviewed source results. The workflow backs up existing history under /tmp, validates all source JSONs for the same (model_id, gpu_type), rejects internally inconsistent source batches, uploads one success=true reseed record per accepted source JSON, and offers to clean local temp state after a successful upload.
+---
+
+# Re-seed Performance Baseline
+
+## Purpose
+
+Replace or advance the rolling performance baseline for a single
+`(model_id, gpu_type)` pair in the HF dataset
+`FastVideo/performance-tracking`.
+
+Performance comparison uses the median of up to the last 5 successful records
+for the same model and GPU. Failed records are useful audit history, but they
+do not move the future baseline because `compare_baseline.py` loads records
+with `successful_only=True`.
+
+This skill now reseeds from a reviewed batch of one or more source performance
+JSONs. It uploads one new `success=true` record per accepted source JSON; it
+does not blindly replicate one measurement into 3 or 5 records. The effective
+reseed size is therefore dynamic and equals the number of provided, validated,
+internally consistent source JSONs.
+
+If the operator provides fewer than 3 records, call out that the last-5 rolling
+median may not move immediately. If the operator provides 3 consistent shifted
+records, the rolling median usually moves immediately. If the operator provides
+5 consistent shifted records, the last-5 window is effectively reset to the new
+runtime profile.
+
+These records are intentional operator-approved baseline resets, not ordinary
+independent main-branch persistence. Mark them clearly with provenance fields
+so the HF history remains auditable.
+
+Use this skill when a performance test fails for an intentional and reviewed
+reason, such as a torch/runtime/container upgrade that legitimately increases
+peak memory or changes timings. This is the performance equivalent of
+`reseed-ssim-references`: backup first, scope tightly, require explicit human
+approval, then upload reviewed accepted baseline records.
+
+## When to use
+
+- A PR or main run failed the rolling performance comparison by more than the
+  allowed regression threshold, and maintainers agree the shift is caused by
+  an intentional runtime, dependency, hardware image, or benchmark environment
+  change rather than a FastVideo logic regression.
+- One or more shifted source result JSONs have been reviewed and accepted, and
+  the operator wants to use those exact reviewed results to advance the rolling
+  baseline.
+- The source batch is internally consistent: no provided source JSON regresses
+  against the batch median by more than the configured tolerance.
+
+## When not to use
+
+- The benchmark failure might be a real code regression. Fix or investigate
+  the code path first.
+- The fixed benchmark thresholds in
+  `.buildkite/performance-benchmarks/tests/*.json` are too low. Those are a
+  separate gate from the rolling HF baseline and may need a code review change.
+- There is no clear source run, commit, and rationale. Baseline history is a
+  production signal; do not edit it without provenance.
+- The provided source JSONs disagree materially with each other. Rerun or
+  investigate instead of uploading a noisy reseed batch.
+
+## Inputs
+
+| Parameter | Required | Description |
+|-----------|----------|-------------|
+| `model_id` | Yes | Benchmark id, e.g. `wan-t2v-1.3b-2gpu`. This maps to the HF subdirectory after `sanitize(model_id)`. |
+| `gpu_type` | Yes | Exact GPU device string from the performance record, e.g. the L40S device name emitted by CI. Baselines are GPU-specific. |
+| `source_results` | Yes | One or more local paths or Buildkite artifact URLs for accepted shifted performance JSONs. Prefer normalized `normalized_perf_*.json` artifacts emitted by `compare_baseline.py`. Accept `source_result` as an alias only for a single JSON. |
+| `max_intra_batch_regression` | No | Maximum allowed regression of any source JSON against the source batch median. Default: `PERF_MAX_REGRESSION` if set, otherwise `0.05` (5%). |
+| `intent_rationale` | Yes | One-line explanation for why the baseline shift is legitimate. This is written into provenance and should be reused in the PR. |
+
+Hardcoded defaults:
+
+- HF repo: `FastVideo/performance-tracking` (`HF_REPO_ID` override is
+  supported by the code, but use the default unless the user explicitly asks).
+- Local sync root: `/tmp/perf-tracking` (`PERFORMANCE_TRACKING_ROOT` override
+  is supported).
+- Backup root: `/tmp/performance_reseed_backup`.
+- Download scratch root for source artifact URLs: `/tmp/performance_reseed_source`.
+- Baseline window: last 5 `success=true` records for the same
+  `(model_id, gpu_type)`.
+- Reseed count: dynamic. Upload exactly one accepted seed record per validated
+  source JSON.
+
+## Steps
+
+### 1. Validate the target and source results
+
+Normalize `source_results` to a list. If the user passes a single
+`source_result`, treat it as a one-element `source_results` list and report
+that a single record may not move the last-5 median immediately.
+
+If any source result is a Buildkite artifact URL, download it first into a
+local scratch directory under `/tmp/performance_reseed_source/` and use the
+downloaded JSON path for the rest of the workflow. If the agent cannot access
+the artifact because Buildkite authentication is missing, ask the user to
+download the artifact manually and provide the local path.
+
+Prefer the normalized Buildkite artifact emitted by `compare_baseline.py`:
+
+```text
+perf_reports/results/normalized_perf_*.json
+```
+
+That file is already in the HF tracking schema. Load each normalized JSON
+directly:
+
+```python
+import json
+
+with open(source_result, encoding="utf-8") as f:
+    record = json.load(f)
+```
+
+Stop if any normalized record's `model_id` or `gpu_type` does not match the
+requested `model_id` and `gpu_type`.
+
+The source records may have `success: false` when they came from failed
+rolling baseline comparisons. That is expected; only the reviewed reseed
+records become new `success: true` baseline records after explicit approval.
+
+Sort validated source records by their original `timestamp` ascending before
+preparing the seed records. If a source timestamp is missing or unparsable,
+preserve input order for those records and print a warning. This makes the
+fresh reseed timestamps deterministic and makes it clear which records enter
+the last-5 window when more than 5 source JSONs are provided.
+
+Check that `HF_API_KEY` is exported. The sync path may be public, but the
+upload path requires write access.
+
+### 1a. Check source batch consistency
+
+Before syncing or preparing uploads, reject source batches that are internally
+inconsistent. Use the same metric direction as `compare_baseline.py`:
+
+- Lower is better: `latency`, `memory`, `text_encoder_time_s`, `dit_time_s`,
+  `vae_decode_time_s`.
+- Higher is better: `throughput`.
+
+For each metric with at least two non-null source values:
+
+1. Compute the source batch median.
+2. For lower-is-better metrics, compute `(source_value - batch_median) / batch_median`.
+3. For `throughput`, compute `(batch_median - source_value) / batch_median`.
+4. Stop if any source record regresses against the batch median by more than
+   `max_intra_batch_regression`.
+
+Default `max_intra_batch_regression` to `PERF_MAX_REGRESSION` when set,
+otherwise `0.05`. Print a table with per-source values, batch median, and
+worst intra-batch regression.
+
+This check prevents uploading a mixed batch where one JSON is materially
+slower or faster than the others. If the batch fails this check, ask the user
+to provide a cleaner batch or explicitly investigate the variance. Do not
+silently drop outliers unless the user gives a concrete reviewed reason and a
+new source list.
+
+### 1b. How to obtain source results from CI
+
+The performance CI exports normalized source results for failed rolling
+baseline comparisons when `compare_baseline.py` ran. The preferred artifacts
+come from:
+
+```text
+perf_reports/results/normalized_perf_*.json
+```
+
+The normal operator flow is:
+
+1. Open the failed Buildkite performance job or several reruns of the same
+   benchmark after the accepted environment shift.
+2. Download the `normalized_perf_*.json` artifacts for the target benchmark.
+3. Pass all reviewed local paths or artifact URLs as `source_results`.
+
+Do not scrape the Markdown performance summary to reconstruct JSON. The
+normalized JSON artifacts are the only supported source of truth for reseed
+metrics and provenance. Raw `fastvideo/tests/performance/results/perf_*.json`
+artifacts are not accepted by this skill. If no normalized JSON artifact is
+present, that run is not a valid source for baseline reseeding.
+
+### 2. Sync and back up existing HF records under /tmp
+
+Use `fastvideo/tests/performance/hf_store.py` helpers directly. Do **not** use
+`compare_baseline.py` as a sync shortcut; on full main runs it can persist
+records, while this step must only fetch and back up existing history.
+
+The sync command pattern is:
+
+```bash
+export PERFORMANCE_TRACKING_ROOT="${PERFORMANCE_TRACKING_ROOT:-/tmp/perf-tracking}"
+export HF_REPO_ID="${HF_REPO_ID:-FastVideo/performance-tracking}"
+PYTHONPATH=fastvideo/tests/performance python -c 'from hf_store import sync_from_hf; import os; sync_from_hf(os.environ["PERFORMANCE_TRACKING_ROOT"], strict=True)'
+```
+
+Then back up only the sanitized model directory under `/tmp`:
+
+```bash
+SHORT_COMMIT=$(git rev-parse --short=12 HEAD)
+TIMESTAMP=$(date -u +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)
+MODEL_SAFE=$(PYTHONPATH=fastvideo/tests/performance python - <<'PY'
+from hf_store import sanitize
+print(sanitize("<model_id>"))
+PY
+)
+BACKUP_DIR="/tmp/performance_reseed_backup/${TIMESTAMP}_${SHORT_COMMIT}_${MODEL_SAFE}"
+mkdir -p "$BACKUP_DIR"
+cp -R "${PERFORMANCE_TRACKING_ROOT}/${MODEL_SAFE}" "$BACKUP_DIR/" 2>/dev/null || true
+```
+
+Write provenance next to the backup:
+
+```bash
+cat > "$BACKUP_DIR/PROVENANCE.txt" <<EOF
+model_id: <model_id>
+gpu_type: <gpu_type>
+source_results:
+  - <source_result_1>
+  - <source_result_2>
+reseed_record_count: <len(source_results)>
+max_intra_batch_regression: <threshold>
+head_commit: $(git rev-parse HEAD)
+timestamp_utc: $(date -u +%FT%TZ)
+reason: <intent_rationale>
+EOF
+```
+
+If the backup has no prior records, this is not a destructive reseed; it is a
+first baseline seed. Continue, but report that baseline history was empty.
+
+### 3. Compute old baseline and candidate shift
+
+Load the last 5 successful records for the target:
+
+```python
+from hf_store import load_records_for_model
+
+records = load_records_for_model(
+    "/tmp/perf-tracking",
+    "<model_id>",
+    "<gpu_type>",
+    last_n=5,
+    successful_only=True,
+)
+```
+
+Print a small table showing old medians, source batch medians, candidate
+medians after appending the proposed seed records, and source batch spread for:
+
+- `latency`
+- `throughput`
+- `memory`
+- `text_encoder_time_s`
+- `dit_time_s`
+- `vae_decode_time_s`
+
+Also print how many successful old records exist. Make clear:
+
+- 1 seed record usually does not move a last-5 median by itself.
+- 3 consistent seed records usually move the last-5 median immediately.
+- 5 consistent seed records effectively reset the last-5 window.
+- The records are intentional approved baseline resets and must be labeled
+  that way.
+
+### 4. Confirm intent
+
+Require an explicit confirmation phrase before preparing the upload:
+
+> About to RE-SEED performance baseline for `<model_id>` on `<gpu_type>`.
+> This will upload `<N>` new `success=true` records to
+> `FastVideo/performance-tracking/<sanitize(model_id)>/`, one per accepted
+> source JSON.
+>
+> Reason: `<intent_rationale>`
+> Source results: `<source_results>`
+> Reseed record count: `<N>`
+> Max intra-batch regression: `<threshold>`
+> Note: these records come from a reviewed source batch and are intended to
+> move the rolling median to the accepted runtime profile. They are not
+> ordinary main-branch persistence.
+> HEAD: `<git rev-parse --short=12 HEAD>`
+> Backup: `<BACKUP_DIR>`
+>
+> Reply `confirm performance reseed` to proceed, anything else to abort.
+
+Do not continue unless the user types exactly `confirm performance reseed`.
+
+### 5. Create the accepted seed records
+
+Create one seed record from each normalized source result. Do not copy the
+source JSON wholesale.
+
+Infer the baseline field allowlist from all existing HF records for the target
+`(model_id, gpu_type)` after syncing, including both `success=true` and
+`success=false` records. Use the union of non-provenance keys present in those
+target records, preserving only fields that also exist in the normalized
+source record or are explicitly set by the reseed workflow. Always include
+`model_id`, `timestamp`, and `success` because the upload path and baseline
+loader depend on them. Always set `timestamp` to a fresh reseed timestamp and
+`success` to `true`. Do not include unrelated source-only fields that are
+absent from existing HF records.
+
+Exclude existing provenance or operator metadata from the inferred baseline
+field allowlist. At minimum, exclude keys prefixed with `baseline_reseed` and
+any fields known to be local-only audit metadata.
+
+If there are no previous HF records for the target model/GPU, fall back to this
+default baseline field list:
+
+- `model_id`
+- `timestamp`
+- `commit_sha`
+- `gpu_type`
+- `latency`
+- `throughput`
+- `memory`
+- `text_encoder_time_s`
+- `dit_time_s`
+- `vae_decode_time_s`
+- `success`
+
+Do not upload extra fields from the source artifact.
+
+Optional provenance fields are allowed and useful:
+
+- `baseline_reseed: true`
+- `baseline_reseed_reason`
+- `baseline_reseed_source_result`
+- `baseline_reseed_source_timestamp`
+- `baseline_reseed_source_success`
+- `baseline_reseed_batch_size`
+- `baseline_reseed_batch_index`
+- `baseline_reseed_operator`
+- `baseline_reseed_max_intra_batch_regression`
+
+Use a fresh reseed timestamp for each seed record, not the original source
+result timestamp. This is required because
+`load_records_for_model(..., last_n=5)` keeps the last records after loading
+the model directory; stale filenames/timestamps may not enter the last-5
+window and therefore may not move the median. Preserve the original source
+timestamp in `baseline_reseed_source_timestamp`.
+
+Use the existing filename convention from `_write_tracking_record()`:
+`<sanitize(timestamp)>_<sanitize(commit_sha)>.json` under the sanitized model
+directory, but include a deterministic suffix such as `_reseed_01`,
+`_reseed_02`, and so on before `.json` so multiple records from the same
+batch do not overwrite each other.
+
+If a source record already exists on HF with `success=false`, do not edit it
+in place unless the user explicitly asked for an audit-preserving correction.
+Prefer uploading new accepted seed records so failed history remains visible.
+
+### 6. Pause before upload
+
+Print:
+
+- Backup directory path under `/tmp`.
+- Prepared local record paths under `PERFORMANCE_TRACKING_ROOT`.
+- HF paths that will receive the new records.
+- Old rolling medians.
+- Source batch medians, source batch spread, reseed count, and candidate
+  medians.
+- Rationale.
+
+Ask the user to reply exactly `upload`. Anything else aborts and leaves the
+prepared records plus backup on disk.
+
+### 7. Upload only the scoped records
+
+Use the shared storage helper so the path and repo type match CI:
+
+```python
+from hf_store import upload_record
+
+upload_record("<local_record_path>", record, strict=True)
+```
+
+Run it once per prepared record. Each upload goes to:
+
+```text
+FastVideo/performance-tracking/<sanitize(model_id)>/<record_filename>.json
+```
+
+Never bulk upload the whole tracking root. Never modify another model's
+directory in the same operation.
+
+### 8. Report outcome and offer cleanup
+
+Report:
+
+- Uploaded HF paths.
+- Backup directory under `/tmp`.
+- Local tracking root, usually `/tmp/perf-tracking`.
+- Old baseline window count and medians.
+- Source batch medians, source batch spread, reseed count, and candidate
+  medians.
+- Expected effect based on reseed count.
+- Any separate threshold changes still needed in
+  `.buildkite/performance-benchmarks/tests/*.json`.
+
+Include the `intent_rationale` in the PR or follow-up comment so reviewers can
+distinguish an accepted baseline shift from a hidden regression.
+
+After the upload is verified, ask whether the user wants to clear temporary
+local state. Explain what each directory is for:
+
+- `PERFORMANCE_TRACKING_ROOT`, usually `/tmp/perf-tracking`: local synced
+  mirror of `FastVideo/performance-tracking` plus the prepared local seed
+  records used for scoped upload.
+- `/tmp/performance_reseed_backup/<...>`: local backup of the target model's
+  pre-reseed HF history plus `PROVENANCE.txt`, kept so a bad reseed can be
+  audited or corrected.
+- `/tmp/performance_reseed_source/<...>` when used: downloaded source JSON
+  artifacts from Buildkite URLs.
+
+Ask:
+
+> Reseed succeeded. Do you want me to delete the local temp tracking mirror,
+> source downloads, and reseed backup under `/tmp`? These files are local
+> safety/audit artifacts only; HF already has the uploaded records.
+>
+> Reply `cleanup reseed temp` to delete them, anything else to keep them.
+
+Do not delete anything unless the user replies exactly
+`cleanup reseed temp`. If cleanup is requested, remove only the specific
+directories created for this reseed. Never remove unrelated `/tmp` contents.
+
+## Failure modes and handling
+
+- **`HF_API_KEY` unset.** Stop before upload. Do not create an untracked
+  process that appears to have reseeded but never reached HF.
+- **Source result does not match target.** Stop. The wrong benchmark or GPU
+  would poison a separate baseline.
+- **Source batch is internally inconsistent.** Stop if any source regresses
+  against the source batch median by more than `max_intra_batch_regression`.
+  Ask for cleaner sources or a reviewed explanation before continuing.
+- **Too few source records to move the median.** Continue only after making
+  clear that one or two records may not immediately move the last-5 median.
+- **The source results are noisy or suspicious.** Stop. Reseeding amplifies
+  those measurements into the baseline, so they must be reviewed first.
+- **HF sync fails.** Stop for destructive reseeds. A stale or empty sync can
+  make the old baseline look missing.
+- **Candidate still violates fixed thresholds.** Report that this skill only
+  handles the rolling HF baseline; update benchmark JSON thresholds in code
+  review if maintainers accept the new absolute limit.
+- **The user aborts at either confirmation.** Leave the backup and prepared
+  records on disk. Nothing should be uploaded.
+- **The user declines cleanup.** Keep `/tmp/perf-tracking`, the source
+  download directory if any, and `/tmp/performance_reseed_backup/<...>` in
+  place for audit/debugging.
+- **A bad seed was uploaded.** Use the backup and HF history to identify the
+  uploaded file, then remove or supersede it with an explicitly reviewed
+  corrective record. Do not silently rewrite unrelated history.

+name: reseed-ssim-references
+description: Re-seed HF reference videos for a single existing SSIM test on Modal L40S. Always backs up current refs locally first, regenerates on Modal, pauses for the user to eyeball before-vs-after quality, then overwrites the targeted `<model_id>` subtree on `FastVideo/ssim-reference-videos` with `--force`. Use when an intentional code change (model port fix, attention backend swap, kernel upgrade, hyperparameter change) has invalidated existing refs and they need to be regenerated. Pairs with `seed-ssim-references`, which is for first-time seeding only.
+---
+
+# Re-seed SSIM Reference Videos
+
+## Purpose
+
+Replace the existing SSIM reference videos for a single `(test_file, model_id)`
+pair on the HF dataset (`FastVideo/ssim-reference-videos`). This is **destructive**
+on HF — the old refs are overwritten — so the skill always:
+
+1. Confirms intent with a one-liner the user has to type.
+2. Downloads the existing refs as a local, timestamped backup.
+3. Regenerates on Modal L40S (same code path that CI uses).
+4. Pauses for a side-by-side eyeball of backup vs new mp4s.
+5. Uploads with `--force`, scoped to the single `--model-id`.
+6. Reminds the user to keep the backup until the PR lands.
+
+Pairs with `seed-ssim-references`, which is the inverse (first-time seeding
+only, refuses to overwrite). Re-seeding is intentionally a separate, more
+ceremonial operation because mistakenly clobbering production refs is much
+harder to recover from than failing closed.
+
+## When to use
+
+- An intentional code change (model port fix, kernel upgrade, attention
+  backend swap, hyperparameter change in the test itself) has shifted the
+  expected SSIM output and the existing refs no longer represent the new
+  ground truth.
+- A test is failing in CI **for the right reason** (the new code is correct,
+  the old refs are stale).
+
+## When not to use
+
+- A test is failing for the **wrong** reason (the port is buggy, not the
+  refs). Fix the port; re-seeding hides the bug.
+- A brand-new test that has no refs on HF yet. Use `seed-ssim-references`.
+- "Just to clean up drift" without a concrete code change to point at. The
+  PR description has to justify *why* refs changed; without a concrete
+  change, there's nothing to write.
+
+## Inputs
+
+| Parameter | Required | Description |
+|-----------|----------|-------------|
+| `test_file` | Yes | Path to the SSIM test, e.g. `fastvideo/tests/ssim/test_matrixgame_similarity.py`. Validated against `fastvideo/tests/ssim/test_*_similarity.py`. |
+| `model_id` | Yes | Single model id from the test's `*_MODEL_TO_PARAMS`, e.g. `Matrix-Game-2.0-Diffusers-Base`. Re-seed runs are **per model**. For multi-model tests, invoke the skill once per model. |
+| `intent_rationale` | Yes | One-line explanation of *why* refs are being regenerated (e.g. "Relax FA-2 head_size whitelist to include 80 — matrix_game now uses FLASH_ATTN instead of TORCH_SDPA"). Recorded in the backup directory and reused in the PR description. |
+
+Hardcoded:
+
+- Modal GPU: **L40S** (matches CI; re-seeding from another SKU produces refs
+  that L40S CI cannot match).
+- Quality tier: **`default`**. `full_quality` is a separate, deliberate
+  operation.
+- HF repo: `FastVideo/ssim-reference-videos` (override via
+  `FASTVIDEO_SSIM_REFERENCE_HF_REPO`).
+- Device folder: `L40S_reference_videos`.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+The user has confirmed:
+
+- `modal` CLI authenticated.
+- `hf` CLI authenticated, **and** `HF_API_KEY` (or `HUGGINGFACE_HUB_TOKEN` /
+  `HF_TOKEN`) exported with **write** access to
+  `FastVideo/ssim-reference-videos`.
+- The current branch's code is the change that motivated the re-seed (i.e.
+  `git rev-parse HEAD` is the commit that intentionally invalidated refs).
+
+Fail fast if any of these are missing.
+
+## Steps
+
+### 1. Validate inputs and confirm intent
+
+- Verify `test_file` exists and matches `fastvideo/tests/ssim/test_*_similarity.py`.
+- Grep the file for `*_MODEL_TO_PARAMS` and assert `model_id` is one of its
+  keys. If the file has only a single hardcoded model, accept that model id
+  as the only valid value.
+- Print the rationale and ask the user to type **`confirm reseed`** (not just
+  `y` — make it deliberate):
+
+  > About to RE-SEED references for model `<model_id>` from test `<test_file>`.
+  > This will OVERWRITE existing refs on
+  > `FastVideo/ssim-reference-videos/reference_videos/default/L40S_reference_videos/<model_id>/`
+  > after backup + Modal regen + eyeball.
+  >
+  > Reason: `<intent_rationale>`
+  > HEAD: `<git rev-parse --short=12 HEAD>`
+  >
+  > Reply `confirm reseed` to proceed, anything else to abort.
+
+  Stop until the user types exactly `confirm reseed`. Anything else aborts
+  with no side effects.
+
+### 2. Back up existing refs
+
+Always required. The backup is the only graceful path back if anything goes
+wrong later.
+
+```bash
+SHORT_COMMIT=$(git rev-parse --short=12 HEAD)
+TIMESTAMP=$(date -u +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)
+MODEL_SAFE=$(echo "<model_id>" | tr '/' '_')
+BACKUP_DIR="ssim_reseed_backup/${TIMESTAMP}_${SHORT_COMMIT}_${MODEL_SAFE}"
+mkdir -p "$BACKUP_DIR"
+
+hf download \
+    --repo-type dataset FastVideo/ssim-reference-videos \
+    --include "reference_videos/default/L40S_reference_videos/<model_id>/**" \
+    --local-dir "$BACKUP_DIR"
+
+mp4_count=$(find "$BACKUP_DIR" -name "*.mp4" | wc -l)
+echo "Backup mp4 count: $mp4_count"
+[ "$mp4_count" -gt 0 ] || {
+    echo "ERROR: backup is empty for <model_id>. Either the model id is wrong"
+    echo "or there are no existing refs (use seed-ssim-references instead)."
+    exit 1
+}
+
+# Provenance — used in the PR description
+cat > "$BACKUP_DIR/PROVENANCE.txt" <<EOF
+test_file: <test_file>
+model_id: <model_id>
+head_commit: $(git rev-parse HEAD)
+timestamp_utc: $(date -u +%FT%TZ)
+reason: <intent_rationale>
+EOF
+```
+
+If the `hf download` produces zero mp4s, abort — the user has either picked a
+non-existent `model_id` or there are no refs yet (in which case
+`seed-ssim-references` is the right tool).
+
+### 3. Regenerate on Modal L40S
+
+Mirror CI's exact env recipe so the regenerated refs are byte-comparable to
+what CI will produce on the same commit. Two differences from CI:
+
+1. **Pass the same env prefix CI uses** (`IMAGE_VERSION`, `BUILDKITE_*`) — see
+   `.buildkite/pipeline.yml:1-3` and `.buildkite/scripts/pr_test.sh:62-83`.
+   Without this, `ssim_test.py:17-18` resolves a different GHCR image tag
+   (default is `latest`, CI is `py3.12-latest`), and `ssim_test.py:38-46`
+   bakes different values into the image's frozen env block. **Mismatched
+   image or env is the most common source of SSIM drift between reseed and
+   CI runs.**
+2. **Do not pass `--skip-reference-download`**. Letting the test fetch the
+   existing refs and run the full SSIM compare gives "before" SSIM numbers
+   for the PR description, and the test still produces the new mp4s
+   regardless of whether the comparison passes or fails.
+
+```bash
+SUBDIR="${TIMESTAMP}_${SHORT_COMMIT}"
+
+IMAGE_VERSION="py3.12-latest" \
+BUILDKITE_REPO="$(git config --get remote.origin.url)" \
+BUILDKITE_COMMIT="$(git rev-parse HEAD)" \
+BUILDKITE_PULL_REQUEST="${BUILDKITE_PULL_REQUEST:-false}" \
+modal run fastvideo/tests/modal/ssim_test.py \
+    --git-repo="$(git config --get remote.origin.url)" \
+    --git-commit="$(git rev-parse HEAD)" \
+    --hf-api-key="$HF_API_KEY" \
+    --test-files="<test_file>" \
+    --sync-generated-to-volume \
+    --generated-volume-subdir="$SUBDIR" \
+    --no-fail-fast
+```
+
+Capture the printed `modal volume get ...` hint — its `<SUBDIR>` matches
+`$SUBDIR` and is needed for step 4. Capture the SSIM numbers from the test
+output (or from the JSON next to the generated mp4) for the PR description.
+
+### 4. Download generated videos
+
+```bash
+modal volume get --force hf-model-weights \
+    ssim_generated_videos/default/"$SUBDIR"/generated_videos \
+    ./generated_videos_modal/default
+```
+
+After this, the new mp4s live at:
+
+```
+./generated_videos_modal/default/generated_videos/L40S_reference_videos/<model_id>/<backend>/<prompt>.mp4
+```
+
+`--force` is required when `./generated_videos_modal/default` already exists
+from a prior run; safe on the first run too.
+
+### 5. PAUSE — user reviews quality side-by-side
+
+Print the diff and the comparison:
+
+```bash
+echo "=== File list diff (backup vs new) ==="
+diff -u \
+    <(find "$BACKUP_DIR/reference_videos/default/L40S_reference_videos/<model_id>" -name "*.mp4" \
+        | sed "s|$BACKUP_DIR/reference_videos/default/L40S_reference_videos/||" | sort) \
+    <(find ./generated_videos_modal/default/generated_videos/L40S_reference_videos/<model_id> -name "*.mp4" \
+        | sed "s|./generated_videos_modal/default/generated_videos/L40S_reference_videos/||" | sort) \
+    || true
+
+echo
+echo "=== SSIM numbers from this run (paste into PR) ==="
+find ./generated_videos_modal/default/generated_videos/L40S_reference_videos/<model_id> -name "*_ssim.json" -exec cat {} \;
+```
+
+Then stop and tell the user:
+
+> Old refs backed up to `$BACKUP_DIR`.
+> New videos in `./generated_videos_modal/default/generated_videos/L40S_reference_videos/<model_id>/`.
+>
+> Open both in a video player. Confirm the new videos:
+>   1. Look correct (no obvious artifacts, no black/static frames).
+>   2. Are *intentionally* different from the backup in the way described
+>      in `<intent_rationale>` (e.g. slight numerical drift only, not a
+>      different scene / different motion / corrupted output).
+>
+> Reply **`upload`** to overwrite HF, anything else to abort.
+> Aborting leaves the backup and new videos on disk for inspection — nothing
+> on HF changes.
+
+Do not proceed until the user types exactly `upload`. If they abort, leave
+everything on disk and stop here.
+
+### 6. Copy into the local reference layout
+
+Same as `seed-ssim-references` step 5:
+
+```bash
+python fastvideo/tests/ssim/reference_videos_cli.py copy-local \
+    --quality-tier default \
+    --device-folder L40S_reference_videos \
+    --generated-dir ./generated_videos_modal/default/generated_videos/L40S_reference_videos
+```
+
+Result: `fastvideo/tests/ssim/reference_videos/default/L40S_reference_videos/<model_id>/<backend>/<prompt>.mp4`.
+
+### 7. Upload with `--force`, scoped to `--model-id`
+
+The `--force` flag is what makes this skill different from `seed-ssim-references`.
+Always pair it with `--model-id` so a typo cannot accidentally overwrite a
+neighboring model's refs.
+
+```bash
+python fastvideo/tests/ssim/reference_videos_cli.py upload \
+    --quality-tier default \
+    --device-folder L40S_reference_videos \
+    --model-id "<model_id>" \
+    --force
+```
+
+The CLI's overwrite guard refuses without `--force`; with `--force` it
+overwrites only files under
+`reference_videos/default/L40S_reference_videos/<model_id>/`.
+
+### 8. Report success and retention guidance
+
+Print:
+
+- The HF path that was overwritten (`<repo>/reference_videos/default/L40S_reference_videos/<model_id>/`).
+- The local backup directory path.
+- The new SSIM numbers from step 5.
+- This restore command, in case the PR review surfaces a problem after
+  upload:
+
+  ```bash
+  python fastvideo/tests/ssim/reference_videos_cli.py upload \
+      --quality-tier default \
+      --device-folder L40S_reference_videos \
+      --model-id "<model_id>" \
+      --reference-dir "$BACKUP_DIR/reference_videos/default/L40S_reference_videos" \
+      --force
+  ```
+
+- This PR-description checklist (see `fastvideo/tests/ssim/AGENTS.md` →
+  *Updating Reference Videos*):
+  1. Source commit that produced the new refs (HEAD at re-seed time).
+  2. Test command and GPU SKU (`L40S`).
+  3. Before/after SSIM numbers.
+  4. The `<intent_rationale>` from step 1.
+  5. A note that the backup lives at `$BACKUP_DIR` and should be retained
+     until CI on the PR is green.
+
+Do **not** auto-rerun the SSIM test — the user does that as part of the PR.
+
+## Failure modes and how to handle them
+
+- **`HF_API_KEY` unset.** Stop before step 2.
+- **Backup is empty (zero mp4s).** Stop before step 3 — the model id is
+  wrong or the refs don't exist yet (use `seed-ssim-references`).
+- **Modal run fails before generation.** No mp4s on the volume. Don't
+  upload. Investigate the failure (test crash, OOM, partition exhaustion),
+  fix, then retry from step 3. Backup is still intact.
+- **Quality regressed (visual or metric).** User aborts at step 5. Backup
+  retained. New videos retained on disk for inspection. Nothing on HF
+  changed. Either fix the underlying code change or abandon the re-seed.
+- **User confirmed `upload` but later realized the new refs are wrong.**
+  Run the restore command from step 8 with the backup `--reference-dir`.
+  This is exactly why the backup exists.
+- **Multi-model test, only one model is being re-seeded.** Run the skill
+  once per model id. The `--model-id` scope on upload guarantees the others
+  are untouched.
+
+## Design notes (for future skill maintainers)
+
+- Per-`model_id` scope is mandatory. The dataset houses many model subtrees;
+  re-seeding the wrong one is hard to undo without backup.
+- `default` tier only; `full_quality` is a separate, deliberate operation
+  with different params and ~doubled runtime, and isn't what CI gates on.
+- The skill deliberately does **not** pass `--skip-reference-download` to
+  Modal so we get pre-reseed SSIM numbers for the PR. The `seed`-skill
+  passes it because no refs exist yet; for re-seed, refs do exist and
+  exposing the comparison is informative.
+- The two-token confirm (`confirm reseed`, then `upload`) is intentional.
+  Re-seeding is high-blast-radius and should not be one-keystroke.
+- The backup directory is plain mp4s + `PROVENANCE.txt`. No HF metadata is
+  preserved; the restore path uses `reference_videos_cli.py upload
+  --reference-dir` which doesn't need it.

+name: seed-ssim-references
+description: Seed HF reference artefacts for a single newly-added SSIM test (pixel `.mp4` for `run_text_to_video_similarity_test`-style tests, or latent `.pt` for `run_text_to_latent_similarity_test`-style tests). Runs the test on Modal L40S, downloads the generated artefacts via `modal volume get`, pauses for the user to verify (visual eyeball for mp4, numerics dump for pt), then uploads only that test's files to `FastVideo/ssim-reference-videos`. Use when a new `fastvideo/tests/ssim/test_*_similarity.py` has just been added and has no references on HF yet.
+---
+
+# Seed SSIM Reference Artefacts (mp4 or pt)
+
+## Purpose
+
+A brand-new SSIM test in `fastvideo/tests/ssim/` fails forever until its
+reference artefacts exist on the HF dataset
+(`FastVideo/ssim-reference-videos`). The dataset hosts two kinds of artefacts
+side-by-side per `(model_id, backend, prompt)`:
+
+- **`.mp4`** — pixel ground-truth for tests that call
+  `run_text_to_video_similarity_test` / `run_image_to_video_similarity_test`
+  in `inference_similarity_utils.py`. Compared via SSIM.
+- **`.pt`** — pre-VAE latent bundle (fp16 full latent + fp32 slice +
+  metadata + `slice_spec` + `format_version`) for tests that call
+  `run_text_to_latent_similarity_test` in `latent_similarity_utils.py`.
+  Compared via cosine distance on the slice and the full tensor.
+
+This skill:
+
+1. Detects which artefact type the test produces (pixel vs latent).
+2. Runs the test on Modal's L40S pool to generate the artefacts.
+3. Downloads them to the local repo via `modal volume get`.
+4. Pauses so the user can verify quality:
+   - **mp4**: visual eyeball in a video player.
+   - **pt**: numerics dump (shape, slice stats, NaN/Inf check, metadata).
+5. Uploads only the new test's files to HF, with a guard that refuses to
+   overwrite anything already present.
+
+The skill is run **manually**, once per new test. Before invoking it, the user
+has already sanity-tested the new test locally — it launches `VideoGenerator`
+and writes an artefact without crashing (the missing-reference assertion at
+the end is expected). The skill does not re-test locally; it goes straight
+to Modal L40S (which is what CI uses).
+
+## When to use
+
+- A new `test_*_similarity.py` file has been added in `fastvideo/tests/ssim/`
+  and the HF dataset has no `reference_videos/default/L40S_reference_videos/<model_id>/`
+  subtree for it yet.
+
+## When not to use
+
+- Regular CI runs — once refs exist, `pytest fastvideo/tests/ssim/` downloads
+  them automatically.
+- Re-seeding an existing test. That requires `--force` on the upload step, and
+  is out of scope here; treat as a separate, deliberate operation.
+
+## Inputs
+
+The skill has **one required input**: the path to the new SSIM test file.
+Prompt the user for it if they didn't supply it.
+
+| Parameter | Required | Description |
+|-----------|----------|-------------|
+| `test_file` | Yes | e.g. `fastvideo/tests/ssim/test_ltx2_similarity.py`. The skill's first action is to ask for this if missing. |
+
+Everything else is fixed:
+
+- Modal runner GPU: **L40S** (hardcoded in `fastvideo/tests/modal/ssim_test.py`).
+- Device folder: `L40S_reference_videos`.
+- Quality tier: `default` (the tier CI runs). The `full_quality` tier is not
+  seeded by this skill.
+- HF repo: `FastVideo/ssim-reference-videos` (dataset).
+- Multi-model test files: all model ids in `*_MODEL_TO_PARAMS` are seeded
+  together; the Modal run produces one mp4 per (model, prompt, backend) and
+  the upload scopes by `--model-id`, looping if there is more than one.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+The user has confirmed:
+
+- `modal` CLI authenticated.
+- `HF_API_KEY` (or `HUGGINGFACE_HUB_TOKEN` / `HF_TOKEN`) exported with write
+  access to `FastVideo/ssim-reference-videos`.
+- The test file runs locally end-to-end (generates an mp4; SSIM assertion
+  failure due to missing reference is expected and fine).
+
+Fail fast if the token env var is missing.
+
+## Steps
+
+### 1. Ask for the test file, then detect artefact type
+
+If the user didn't name one, ask: *"Which SSIM test file do you want to seed
+references for? (e.g. `fastvideo/tests/ssim/test_ltx2_similarity.py`)"*.
+
+Validate:
+
+- Path exists and matches `fastvideo/tests/ssim/test_*_similarity.py`.
+- File defines a `*_MODEL_TO_PARAMS` dict — grep it to extract the set of
+  model ids. Those ids drive step 5.
+
+Detect artefact type by inspecting the file's imports / helper call:
+
+- **latent** (`.pt`) — file imports `run_text_to_latent_similarity_test`
+  from `fastvideo.tests.ssim.latent_similarity_utils` (or any other helper
+  that ends with `_latent_similarity_test`).
+- **pixel** (`.mp4`) — file imports
+  `run_text_to_video_similarity_test` / `run_image_to_video_similarity_test`
+  from `fastvideo.tests.ssim.inference_similarity_utils`, OR uses the
+  legacy custom-inline helper pattern (see `test_gamecraft`,
+  `test_longcat`, etc.). Default to pixel when both heuristics fail.
+
+Record `ARTEFACT_TYPE ∈ {pixel, latent}` for use in step 4. Steps 2, 3, 5,
+and 6 are artefact-type-agnostic — `_iter_reference_files`,
+`copy_generated_to_reference`, and `upload_reference_videos` already walk
+both `.mp4` and `.pt` (see `reference_videos_cli.py`).
+
+If either check fails, stop and tell the user what's wrong.
+
+### 2. Run the test on Modal L40S
+
+Pick a subdir name so repeated runs don't collide:
+
+```bash
+SHORT_COMMIT=$(git rev-parse --short=12 HEAD)
+TIMESTAMP=$(date -u +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)
+SUBDIR="${TIMESTAMP}_${SHORT_COMMIT}"
+```
+
+Then launch the Modal run. The `IMAGE_VERSION` and `BUILDKITE_*` env-prefix
+**must** match what CI exports in `.buildkite/scripts/pr_test.sh`, otherwise
+`fastvideo/tests/modal/ssim_test.py` resolves a different GHCR image tag
+(default is `latest`, CI is `py3.12-latest`) and bakes different values into
+the image's frozen env block (`ssim_test.py:17-18, 38-46`). Mismatched image
+or env produces SSIM drift that doesn't show up until the same commit runs
+in CI.
+
+```bash
+IMAGE_VERSION="py3.12-latest" \
+BUILDKITE_REPO="$(git config --get remote.origin.url)" \
+BUILDKITE_COMMIT="$(git rev-parse HEAD)" \
+BUILDKITE_PULL_REQUEST="${BUILDKITE_PULL_REQUEST:-false}" \
+modal run fastvideo/tests/modal/ssim_test.py \
+    --git-repo="$(git config --get remote.origin.url)" \
+    --git-commit="$(git rev-parse HEAD)" \
+    --hf-api-key="$HF_API_KEY" \
+    --test-files="<test_file>" \
+    --sync-generated-to-volume \
+    --generated-volume-subdir="$SUBDIR" \
+    --skip-reference-download \
+    --no-fail-fast
+```
+
+Env prefix rationale (parity with CI; see `.buildkite/pipeline.yml:1-3` and
+`.buildkite/scripts/pr_test.sh:62-83`):
+- `IMAGE_VERSION=py3.12-latest`: pins the Modal image tag to the same one CI
+  uses. The published `py3.12-latest` and `latest` tags point at Python 3.12 /
+  CUDA 12.6.3 / cu126; `py3.12-cuda12.6.3-latest` is the explicit alias for the
+  same image. CUDA 13 / cu130 is available under the explicit
+  `py3.12-cuda13.0.0-latest` tag. This tag policy comes from
+  `infra-build-image.yml`; the unparameterized `docker/Dockerfile` build itself
+  still defaults to CUDA 13 / cu130.
+- `BUILDKITE_REPO`/`BUILDKITE_COMMIT`/`BUILDKITE_PULL_REQUEST`: mirror what
+  Buildkite exports. `ssim_test.py:38-46` bakes these into the image's
+  `.env(...)` block; mismatched values can perturb in-container code paths
+  that branch on PR-vs-non-PR. `false` for `BUILDKITE_PULL_REQUEST` matches
+  Buildkite's "non-PR build" sentinel.
+
+Flag rationale:
+- `--skip-reference-download`: no refs exist yet, so conftest must not try to
+  pull them.
+- `--no-fail-fast`: lets the test finish generation before `_assert_similarity`
+  raises `FileNotFoundError: Reference video folder does not exist`. The
+  expected failure is what we want — the mp4 has already been written.
+- `--sync-generated-to-volume` + `--generated-volume-subdir`: copies the
+  generated mp4s to the `hf-model-weights` Modal volume under
+  `ssim_generated_videos/default/<SUBDIR>/generated_videos/` so we can pull
+  them locally.
+
+The Modal run will end with a nonzero exit (expected) and print a
+`modal volume get hf-model-weights ssim_generated_videos/default/<SUBDIR>/generated_videos ./generated_videos_modal/default`
+command. Capture that `<SUBDIR>` — you need it for step 3.
+
+### 3. Download generated videos locally
+
+```bash
+modal volume get --force hf-model-weights \
+    ssim_generated_videos/default/"$SUBDIR"/generated_videos \
+    ./generated_videos_modal/default
+```
+
+`--force` is required when the parent `./generated_videos_modal/default`
+already exists; without it, `modal volume get` errors with `[Errno 21] Is a
+directory`. Safe to pass on the first run too.
+
+After this, the mp4s live at
+`./generated_videos_modal/default/generated_videos/L40S_reference_videos/<model_id>/<backend>/<prompt>.mp4`.
+The extra `generated_videos/` level comes from the volume layout in
+`_sync_generated_videos_to_volume` (`ssim_test.py`) — the command copies
+`<repo>/fastvideo/tests/ssim/generated_videos/<tier>` to
+`ssim_generated_videos/<tier>/<SUBDIR>/generated_videos/`, and `modal volume
+get` preserves that trailing `generated_videos/` segment.
+
+### 4. PAUSE — user reviews quality
+
+Type-aware verification.
+
+**For `ARTEFACT_TYPE = pixel`** — list the downloaded mp4s and ask the user to
+open them in a video player:
+
+> "Generated videos downloaded to `./generated_videos_modal/default/generated_videos/L40S_reference_videos/`. Please open them and confirm the quality looks correct. Reply **`upload`** to continue, or anything else to abort."
+
+**For `ARTEFACT_TYPE = latent`** — `.pt` files are not human-watchable. Print
+a numerics dump for each `.pt` so the user can sanity-check shape, distribution,
+and metadata:
+
+```python
+import torch
+from pathlib import Path
+ROOT = Path("./generated_videos_modal/default/generated_videos/L40S_reference_videos")
+for p in sorted(ROOT.rglob("*.pt")):
+    d = torch.load(p, map_location="cpu", weights_only=False)
+    s = d["expected_slice"]
+    L = d["latent"].float()
+    print(f"=== {p.relative_to(ROOT)} ===")
+    print(f"  format_version: {d['format_version']}")
+    print(f"  shape:          {d['shape']}")
+    print(f"  dtype_original: {d['dtype_original']}")
+    print(f"  slice_spec:     {d['slice_spec']}")
+    print(f"  slice  shape={tuple(s.shape)}  mean={s.mean():+.4f}  std={s.std():.4f}  min={s.min():+.4f}  max={s.max():+.4f}")
+    print(f"  latent shape={tuple(L.shape)}  mean={L.mean():+.4f}  std={L.std():.4f}  min={L.min():+.4f}  max={L.max():+.4f}")
+    print(f"  finite: latent NaN={torch.isnan(L).any().item()} Inf={torch.isinf(L).any().item()}; "
+          f"slice NaN={torch.isnan(s).any().item()} Inf={torch.isinf(s).any().item()}")
+    print(f"  metadata: {d['metadata']}\n")
+```
+
+Sanity criteria:
+- `format_version == 1` (matches `LATENT_REFERENCE_FORMAT_VERSION`).
+- `shape` matches what the model produces (e.g. LTX-2 distilled =
+  `[1, 128, T_lat, H_lat, W_lat]`; Stable Audio Open 1.0 = `[1, 64, 1024]`).
+- `slice_spec.kind` matches a registered kind (`corner_3x3_first_frame`
+  for video, `audio_first_8_timesteps` for audio).
+- No `NaN`/`Inf`. `mean ≈ 0`, `std ≈ 1` (denoised latents stay close to
+  the initial Gaussian distribution; very wide deviations suggest
+  numerical drift).
+- `metadata.prompt` matches the test's prompt.
+
+Then ask:
+
+> "Numerics look right? Reply **`upload`** to continue, or anything else to abort."
+
+Do not proceed until the user explicitly says `upload`. If they abort, leave
+everything on disk so they can inspect further — no cleanup.
+
+### 5. Copy into the local reference layout
+
+Scoped copy — only the new test's artefacts. Single command works for both
+artefact types because `_iter_reference_files` walks `.mp4` and `.pt`:
+
+```bash
+python fastvideo/tests/ssim/reference_videos_cli.py copy-local \
+    --quality-tier default \
+    --device-folder L40S_reference_videos \
+    --generated-dir ./generated_videos_modal/default/generated_videos/L40S_reference_videos
+```
+
+(The `--generated-dir` points at the device-folder root inside the
+downloaded tree; `copy-local` walks all `<model>/<backend>/*.{mp4,pt}`
+underneath it. Since the Modal run was scoped to a single test file via
+`--test-files`, only that test's model(s) are present — so the copy is
+implicitly per-test.)
+
+Result for pixel: `fastvideo/tests/ssim/reference_videos/default/L40S_reference_videos/<model_id>/<backend>/<prompt>.mp4`.
+Result for latent: same path with `.pt` extension.
+
+### 6. Upload to HF — scoped per model_id, with overwrite guard
+
+For each `<model_id>`:
+
+```bash
+python fastvideo/tests/ssim/reference_videos_cli.py upload \
+    --quality-tier default \
+    --device-folder L40S_reference_videos \
+    --model-id "<model_id>"
+```
+
+The upload command:
+
+- Uploads **only** `reference_videos/default/L40S_reference_videos/<model_id>/`.
+- **Refuses** if any file already exists at that path on HF (this is the
+  guard — seeding a new test should never clobber existing refs). To override,
+  the user must re-run with `--force`. If the guard fires, stop and report
+  exactly which files exist; do not silently `--force`.
+
+Reads the HF token from `HF_API_KEY` / `HUGGINGFACE_HUB_TOKEN` / `HF_TOKEN`.
+
+### 7. Report success
+
+List what was uploaded (paths in repo) and remind the user to push any
+related code changes. Do **not** auto-verify by re-running Modal — the user
+can run `pytest fastvideo/tests/ssim/<test_file>` later to confirm end-to-end;
+it will auto-download the refs they just uploaded.
+
+## Failure modes and how to handle them
+
+- **`HF_API_KEY` unset.** Stop before step 2. The Modal run needs it (passed
+  via `--hf-api-key`), and step 6 needs it for upload. If the user
+  ran `hf auth login` instead of exporting an env var, read the cached
+  token via `huggingface_hub.get_token()` and forward it to Modal as
+  `--hf-api-key="$CACHED_TOKEN"`.
+- **Modal run fails before generation.** No artefacts on the volume — nothing
+  to download. Fix the test locally (`pytest fastvideo/tests/ssim/<test_file>`)
+  and retry from step 2.
+- **`./generated_videos_modal/default/L40S_reference_videos/` missing after
+  `modal volume get`.** The run didn't produce artefacts (most likely the
+  test crashed before writing, or `REQUIRED_GPUS` exceeded the partition
+  capacity — see Modal logs).
+- **Latent test crashed with FSDP / inference_mode error
+  (`RuntimeError: Inference tensors do not track version counter`).** The
+  test must pass `init_kwargs_override={"use_fsdp_inference": False}` when
+  `sp_size == 1` — see `test_stable_audio_similarity.py` for the pattern.
+  Fix in the test, push, retry.
+- **Upload guard fires (files already exist).** The test name / model id
+  collides with something already on HF. Verify the user actually wants to
+  replace existing refs; if so, re-run the upload with `--force`. If not,
+  rename the model id in `*_MODEL_TO_PARAMS` and re-seed.
+- **Quality looks wrong in step 4.** Abort. The artefacts stay on disk for
+  inspection. The fix is usually in the test's params (resolution, steps,
+  seed) — edit the test, then re-run the skill.
+  - For latent: also check `slice_spec.kind` matches the latent rank
+    (`corner_3x3_first_frame` requires 5-D, `audio_first_8_timesteps`
+    requires 3-D); a rank/kind mismatch raises in `_extract_expected_slice`.
+
+## Design notes (for future skill maintainers)
+
+- The skill deliberately runs on Modal, **not** locally, because the CI
+  runner is L40S. Seeding from a different GPU SKU produces refs that CI's
+  L40S runs can't match (pixel SSIM drifts across SKUs; latent cosine has
+  tighter cross-SKU bf16 drift but the configured tolerances assume
+  same-SKU seed → same-SKU verify).
+- The skill is default-tier only. `full_quality` refs are seeded by a
+  separate, deliberate operation — they double runtime and aren't what CI
+  gates on.
+- The overwrite guard in `reference_videos_cli.py upload` is default-on
+  specifically because this skill exists. Re-seeding is a distinct operation
+  that requires explicit `--force`.
+- Both artefact types share the same Modal flow: the orchestrator sets
+  `--skip-reference-download` + `--no-fail-fast`, runs pytest, the test's
+  helper writes the artefact (`.mp4` via `imageio` for pixel,
+  `save_latent_reference` → `torch.save` for latent) BEFORE the
+  missing-reference assertion raises. `_sync_generated_videos_to_volume` in
+  `ssim_test.py` does a `shutil.copytree` of the whole `generated_videos/`
+  tree, picking up `.mp4`, `.pt`, and the `*_ssim.json` / `*_latent.json`
+  metric files alongside.

+
+          Hi @{{author}}, the pre-commit checks have failed. To fix them locally:
+
+          ```bash
+          # Install pre-commit if you haven't already
+          uv pip install pre-commit
+          pre-commit install
+
+          # Run all checks and auto-fix what's possible
+          pre-commit run --all-files
+          ```
+
+          Common fixes:
+          - **yapf**: `yapf -i <file>` (formatting)
+          - **ruff**: `ruff check --fix <file>` (linting)
+          - **codespell**: `codespell --write-changes <file>` (spelling)
+
+          After fixing, commit and push the changes. The checks will re-run automatically.
+
+          For future commits, `pre-commit` will run automatically on changed files before each commit.

+            - **FastVideo version**: `pip show fastvideo`
+            - **GPU**: `nvidia-smi` output (GPU model, driver, CUDA version)
+            - **Python version**: `python --version`
+            - **OS**: e.g., Ubuntu 22.04
+
+            If this is a bug, a minimal reproduction script helps us fix it faster.

+            Welcome to FastVideo! Thanks for your first pull request.
+
+            **How our CI works:**
+
+            PRs run a two-tier CI system:
+            1. **Pre-commit** — formatting (yapf), linting (ruff), type checking (mypy). Runs immediately on every PR.
+            2. **Fastcheck** — core GPU tests (encoders, VAEs, transformers, kernels, unit tests). Runs automatically via Buildkite on relevant file changes (~10-15 min).
+            3. **Full Suite** — integration tests, training pipelines, SSIM regression. Runs only when a reviewer adds the `ready` label.
+
+            **Before your PR is reviewed:**
+            - [ ] `pre-commit run --all-files` passes locally
+            - [ ] You've added or updated tests for your changes
+            - [ ] The PR description explains what and why
+
+            If pre-commit fails, a bot comment will explain how to fix it. Fastcheck and Full Suite results appear in the Checks section below.

+## Agent Infrastructure
+
+This repository is agent-friendly. Before doing any work:
+
+1. Read the nearest in-scope `AGENTS.md` for every directory you may edit.
+2. Read the relevant user-facing design or contributor guide.
+3. Check `.agents/skills/*/SKILL.md` for a task-specific workflow.
+4. Search `.agents/lessons/` for relevant pitfalls.
+
+Architecture, commands, and operational guidance belong beside the code or
+under `docs/`. Do not maintain static codebase maps, experiment journals,
+branch-state snapshots, or duplicate user-facing documentation under
+`.agents/`. Put a reusable procedure directly in a skill or contributor guide
+and capture durable failures in `.agents/lessons/`.
+
+## Per-Directory AGENTS.md
+
+Local guidance lives next to the code. Read the in-scope file before editing:
+
+| Directory | What it covers |
+|-----------|----------------|
+| `fastvideo/AGENTS.md` | Core package map, public API, registry-driven model dispatch |
+| `fastvideo/configs/AGENTS.md` | Arch + pipeline config dataclasses, `param_names_mapping` |
+| `fastvideo/models/AGENTS.md` | DiT / VAE / encoder / scheduler / loader layout (pre-commit excluded) |
+| `fastvideo/layers/AGENTS.md` | Tensor-parallel linear/attention layer rules for ports |
+| `fastvideo/attention/AGENTS.md` | Backend registry + env-var override |
+| `fastvideo/pipelines/AGENTS.md` | Stage ABC, `basic/<model>/`, `preprocess/`, presets |
+| `fastvideo/training/AGENTS.md` | Legacy monolithic pipelines (frozen for existing models) |
+| `fastvideo/train/AGENTS.md` | New modular trainer (methods × models × callbacks, YAML) |
+| `fastvideo/tests/AGENTS.md` | Test taxonomy, conftest, pre-commit-excluded path |
+| `fastvideo/tests/ssim/AGENTS.md` | GPU SSIM regression authoring + reference video sync |
+| `scripts/checkpoint_conversion/AGENTS.md` | Adding a converter for a new HF/official checkpoint |
+
+## Critical: Two Training Stacks Coexist
+
+- `fastvideo/training/` — legacy, monolithic per-model `*_training_pipeline.py` and
+  `*_distillation_pipeline.py`. Still authoritative for shipped models.
+- `fastvideo/train/` — new modular framework (composable methods × models × callbacks
+  driven by YAML). Preferred for new training work.
+
+Pick the matching stack before editing. Do not migrate a pipeline between them
+without an explicit ask — the conventions and config surfaces differ.

 ## Getting Started

-We recommend using an environment manager such as `Conda` to create a clean environment:
+We recommend using [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) to create a clean environment. If you previously used Conda, switching to uv generally gives faster and more stable installs.

 ```bash
-# Create and activate a new conda environment
-conda create -n fastvideo python=3.12
-conda activate fastvideo
+# Create and activate a new uv environment
+uv venv --python 3.12 --seed
+source .venv/bin/activate

-# Install FastVideo
-pip install fastvideo
+# Install FastVideo on NVIDIA CUDA 12
+UV_TORCH_BACKEND=cu126 uv pip install fastvideo
 ```

+Use `UV_TORCH_BACKEND=cu130` on CUDA 13. Apple silicon users should follow the
+[MPS installation guide](https://hao-ai-lab.github.io/FastVideo/getting_started/installation/mps/).
+
 Please see our [docs](https://hao-ai-lab.github.io/FastVideo/getting_started/installation/) for more detailed installation instructions.

+> **On an NVIDIA DGX Spark (GB10 / ARM64 + CUDA 13)?** There's no prebuilt ARM wheel for the FastVideo CUDA kernel, so it's an editable from-source install (`UV_TORCH_BACKEND=cu130 uv pip install -e .`, which compiles that kernel for you) rather than `UV_TORCH_BACKEND=cu130 uv pip install fastvideo`. A compatible prebuilt ARM64 FlashAttention wheel is available separately. Follow the [DGX Spark install guide](https://hao-ai-lab.github.io/FastVideo/getting_started/installation/spark/).

+```text
+Install FastVideo (https://github.com/hao-ai-lab/FastVideo) into a fresh uv virtual environment.
+
+1. Detect the platform: run `uname -m`, `nvidia-smi`, and `nvcc --version`.
+2. Read and follow the matching install guide exactly (in this repo, or at
+   https://hao-ai-lab.github.io/FastVideo/getting_started/installation/):

+## Dreamverse — Realtime Video Generation & Editing
+
+[Dreamverse](apps/dreamverse/README.md) is FastVideo's realtime video generation
+and editing platform — "vibe directing" a video as it streams. It lives in the
+monorepo under [`apps/dreamverse/`](apps/dreamverse/) and ships its own backend
+(`dreamverse-server`) plus a web UI.
+
+Try the [live demo](https://dreamverse.fastvideo.org/), read the
+[blog](https://haoailab.com/blogs/dreamverse/), or run it yourself. Dreamverse
+deploys on a local GPU, a self-hosted B200 server over SSH, Docker, or
+serverless [Modal](apps/dreamverse/scripts/modal/README.md) — see the
+[Dreamverse README](apps/dreamverse/README.md).

+# Dreamverse Agent Notes
+
+## Repo-local workflows
+
+- Use `.agents/skills/dreamverse-deploy/` to redeploy or stop the local
+  backend/frontend stack on a chosen physical GPU.
+- Use `apps/dreamverse/scripts/modal/README.md` for Modal deployments and
+  `apps/dreamverse/docker/README.md` for image builds. The local deploy skill
+  intentionally does not manage remote deployments.
+
+## Repo layout
+
+Current paths:
+
+- `apps/dreamverse/web/`: Next.js frontend, client-side stores, websocket
+  event reduction, prompt-window editing, devtools UI.
+- `apps/dreamverse/dreamverse/`: current Python FastAPI runtime, websocket
+  protocol, prompt enhancement, prompt rewrite orchestration, GPU worker
+  lifecycle.
+- `apps/dreamverse/dreamverse/tests/`: backend unit and integration-oriented
+  tests.
+- `apps/dreamverse/dreamverse/benchmarks/`: prompt-provider latency/token
+  benchmarking scripts.
+
+Planned paths during the OSS reorg:
+
+- `controller/`: local control plane for provider credentials, compute
+  lifecycle, and proxying.
+- `runtime/`: eventual rename of `apps/dreamverse/dreamverse/` once the
+  controller/runtime split is stable.
+- `providers/`: provider adapters for local, Runpod, and Modal.
+
+Important rule:
+
+- Until the split lands, treat `apps/dreamverse/dreamverse/` as the
+  authoritative runtime and keep provider orchestration out of
+  `apps/dreamverse/web`.
+
+## System split
+
+Dreamverse is moving toward a three-part local-first architecture.
+
+- Frontend owns local UI state, drafts, inspection tools, and user-triggered
+  actions.
+- Controller will own local-only credentials, compute provisioning, runtime
+  lifecycle, and HTTP/websocket proxying.
+- Runtime owns generation sessions, prompt rewrite, prompt safety, and
+  websocket semantics.
+
+The browser should only talk to the local Dreamverse process, never directly to
+Modal or Runpod.
+
+## Current runtime responsibilities
+
+The runtime in `apps/dreamverse/dreamverse/` is responsible for:
+
+- websocket session lifecycle on `/ws`
+- queueing, GPU assignment, worker startup, and stream chunk emission
+- seed prompt memory and the active prompt window used for generation
+- prompt enhancement and prompt rewrite execution
+- prompt safety checks
+- persistence and reload of prompt system prompt files
+- curated preset append/read routes in devtools mode
+- health and readiness endpoints
+
+Relevant files:
+
+- `apps/dreamverse/dreamverse/main.py`: websocket protocol, session state
+  machine, REST routes
+- `apps/dreamverse/dreamverse/gpu_pool.py`: FastVideo-backed generation
+  workers
+- `apps/dreamverse/dreamverse/prompt_enhancer.py`: provider clients, prompt
+  enhancement, rewrite execution
+- `apps/dreamverse/dreamverse/rewrite_prompt_payload.py`: canonical rewrite
+  request body format
+- `apps/dreamverse/dreamverse/config.py`: prompt file paths, provider
+  configuration, runtime flags
+
+## Frontend responsibilities
+
+The frontend in `apps/dreamverse/web/` is responsible for:
+
+- collecting user input and deciding whether to send raw prompts or rewrite
+  requests
+- maintaining client-side stores for session, prompt-window, stream, rewrite,
+  and UI state
+- rendering prompt history, playback state, devtools controls, and rewrite
+  inspection
+- building the prompt-window snapshot sent with rewrite requests
+- reducing websocket events into UI state
+- showing compute status and controller-driven errors once the controller lands
+
+Relevant files:
+
+- `apps/dreamverse/web/src/app/page.tsx`: main orchestration, websocket
+  connect/send paths
+- `apps/dreamverse/web/src/lib/ws/reducer.ts`: applies normalized websocket
+  events to stores
+- `apps/dreamverse/web/src/stores/promptWindow.ts`: prompt window and
+  preset/editor state
+- `apps/dreamverse/web/src/stores/rewrite.ts`: rewrite activity timeline and
+  flags
+- `apps/dreamverse/web/src/lib/prompts/promptWindowSnapshot.ts`: rewrite snapshot
+  normalization and padding
+
+## Planned controller responsibilities
+
+The future local controller should own:
+
+- local-only provider credential loading and storage
+- provider selection
+- runtime provisioning, reuse, shutdown, and health checks
+- proxying frontend HTTP and websocket traffic to the active runtime
+- surfacing provisioning, ready, failed, and idle states to the frontend
+- durable local settings that should survive ephemeral remote runtimes
+
+The controller should not own:
+
+- prompt rewrite logic
+- seed prompt memory
+- generation queue semantics
+- websocket event schemas
+
+## Prompt rewrite contract
+
+Prompt rewrite is a shared flow with a strict ownership split.
+
+Frontend responsibilities:
+
+- decide when a user action should trigger `rewrite_seed_prompts` instead of
+  `append_prompt`
+- send `rewrite_instruction` and a snapshot of the current prompt window
+- pad the rewrite snapshot to the runtime-expected segment count using
+  `buildRewritePromptWindowSnapshotFromPrompts(...)`
+- show rewrite activity and raw LLM output in local inspection UI
+
+Runtime responsibilities:
+
+- validate and normalize `prompt_window_prompts`
+- choose the rewrite system prompt and provider/model/temperature
+- build the canonical LLM request body in
+  `apps/dreamverse/dreamverse/rewrite_prompt_payload.py`
+- run the rewrite through `PromptEnhancer.rewrite_prompt_sequence(...)`
+- apply safety filtering to rewritten prompts
+- replace the authoritative seed prompt memory when rewrite succeeds
+- emit `seed_prompts_updated` and `rewrite_seed_prompts_complete`
+
+Controller responsibilities:
+
+- proxy the request and response
+- surface runtime availability and provider lifecycle failures
+
+Important rule:
+
+- The frontend may suggest the prompt window to rewrite, but the runtime owns
+  the actual rewritten rollout and the authoritative prompt window after
+  acceptance.
+
+## Rewrite modes
+
+There are two runtime rewrite modes:
+
+- edit existing rollout: when `prompt_window_prompts` is non-empty, rewrite the
+  current rollout while preserving segment count and ordering
+- new rollout: when the prompt window is empty but there is a
+  `rewrite_instruction`, generate a fresh rollout
+
+The frontend should not emulate runtime rewrite behavior locally. It should
+prepare the snapshot, send it, and display the result.
+
+## Prompt window ownership
+
+- Frontend owns editable drafts, selected preset UI, and prompt-window
+  inspection state.
+- Runtime owns the active seed prompt memory used for actual generation.
+- After any runtime event with reason `rewrite`, the frontend must replace its
+  prompt window from the server payload instead of keeping a locally-derived
+  version.
+
+## Devtools and persistence ownership
+
+Prompt config editing is runtime-owned persistence with frontend-owned forms
+today.
+
+- Frontend loads and edits drafts through `/prompt-system-config`.
+- Runtime reads and writes prompt files and reloads runtime prompt config.
+
+Curated presets follow the same pattern:
+
+- frontend submits append requests and may update local UI optimistically from
+  the response
+- runtime persists the JSON file and resolves overlay vs fallback file paths
+
+During the controller reorg, avoid moving durable user settings into ephemeral
+remote runtimes. Controller-owned local persistence is preferred for anything
+that must survive provider restarts.
+
+## Editing guidance
+
+- Do not move rewrite logic into the frontend or controller.
+- Do not make the frontend the source of truth for the generated prompt window
+  after rewrite.
+- If you change websocket message types or payload fields in
+  `apps/dreamverse/dreamverse/main.py`, update the reducer in
+  `apps/dreamverse/web/src/lib/ws/reducer.ts` in the same change.
+- If you change rewrite request shape, update both
+  `apps/dreamverse/web/src/lib/prompts/promptWindowSnapshot.ts` and
+  `apps/dreamverse/dreamverse/rewrite_prompt_payload.py`.
+- If you add controller-managed status or error payloads, keep them separate
+  from runtime websocket events unless there is a strong reason to merge them.
+- If you change prompt file paths or devtools persistence, update
+  `apps/dreamverse/dreamverse/`, the frontend devtools UI, and any
+  controller-owned local persistence logic together.
+- Keep provider adapters focused on runtime lifecycle and reachability, not on
+  prompt or session semantics.

+# Dreamverse
+
+Dreamverse is the FastVideo realtime video generation & editing platform. It lives in this monorepo under `apps/dreamverse/`.
+
+**Deploy on:** [local GPU](#quick-start-local-gpu) · [self-hosted B200 (SSH)](#server-b200-deployment-ssh) · [Docker](docker/README.md) · [Modal](scripts/modal/README.md)
+
+## Install Dreamverse
+
+You can install Dreamverse using one of the methods below.
+
+### Method 1: With uv pip
+
+```bash
+pip install --upgrade pip
+pip install uv
+uv venv .venv --python 3.12
+source .venv/bin/activate
+UV_TORCH_BACKEND=cu126 uv pip install "fastvideo[dreamverse]"
+```
+
+### Method 2: From source
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/hao-ai-lab/FastVideo.git
+cd FastVideo
+
+pip install --upgrade pip
+pip install uv
+uv venv .venv --python 3.12
+source .venv/bin/activate
+UV_TORCH_BACKEND=cu126 uv pip install -e ".[dreamverse]"
+```
+
+Use `UV_TORCH_BACKEND=cu130` instead on CUDA 13.
+
+### Method 3: Using Docker
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/hao-ai-lab/FastVideo.git
+cd FastVideo
+
+apps/dreamverse/docker/docker_build.sh
+```
+
+See `apps/dreamverse/docker/README.md` for Docker build and run option details.
+
+## Optional: Building FFmpeg For Better Performance
+
+For full streaming performance in a non-Docker install, build a custom FFmpeg
+binary from a FastVideo source checkout. The command below is repo-relative,
+so run it from the repository root:
+
+```bash
+bash apps/dreamverse/scripts/install_native_ffmpeg.sh
+```
+
+The installer supports Linux `x86_64` and `aarch64`. It prefers conda-forge
+triplet compilers when those commands are on `PATH`, otherwise it falls back to
+system `gcc`/`g++` (plain venv). On `x86_64`, x264's hand-tuned SIMD also
+requires `nasm`; install via whichever path fits your host:
+
+```bash
+sudo apt install nasm                       # Debian/Ubuntu
+conda install -c conda-forge nasm           # inside an active conda env
+```
+
+No sudo and no conda? Build `nasm` from source (~30s, installs into `$HOME`):
+
+```bash
+(
+  mkdir -p "$HOME/src" "$HOME/opt" && cd "$HOME/src"
+  curl -fsSL -O https://www.nasm.us/pub/nasm/releasebuilds/2.16.03/nasm-2.16.03.tar.gz
+  tar -xf nasm-2.16.03.tar.gz && cd nasm-2.16.03
+  ./configure --prefix="$HOME/opt/nasm" && make -j"$(nproc)" && make install
+)
+export PATH="$HOME/opt/nasm/bin:$PATH"      # add to ~/.bashrc to persist
+```
+
+The installer writes to `~/opt/ffmpeg-native/` and emits
+`apps/dreamverse/scripts/ffmpeg-env.sh`. Source it before starting the backend
+so Dreamverse uses the custom FFmpeg binary:
+
+```bash
+source apps/dreamverse/scripts/ffmpeg-env.sh
+dreamverse-server
+```
+
+Docker images already run this FFmpeg build during image creation and source the
+generated environment file at container startup.
+
+## Launch Dreamverse
+
+Start the backend with the installed Dreamverse commands:
+
+```bash
+dreamverse-server --port 8009
+dreamverse-mock-server --port 8009
+```
+
+> **Expect a slow first boot.** With `torch.compile` and startup warmup enabled
+> (the default), the backend compiles the segment 1 and segment 2 inference
+> paths before it reports ready — this can take **tens of minutes on a cold
+> cache**, regardless of how you deploy (local, server, Docker, or Modal).
+> `/healthz` responds as soon as the process is up; `/readyz` stays `503` until
+> warmup finishes. For a faster, uncompiled startup while testing, set
+> `FASTVIDEO_ENABLE_STARTUP_WARMUP=0` before starting the backend.
+
+## Frontend Setup
+
+Install the web dependencies once from the FastVideo checkout:
+
+```bash
+cd apps/dreamverse/web
+npm ci
+```
+
+The frontend package uses `package-lock.json`; use npm for installs and scripts.
+
+## Quick Start: Local GPU
+
+### Start Backend
+
+Export the API keys used for prompt rewrite and prompt enhancement:
+
+```bash
+export CEREBRAS_API_KEY=...
+export GROQ_API_KEY=...
+```
+
+If you built the optional native FFmpeg binary above, source its environment
+file in the same shell before starting the backend:
+
+```bash
+source apps/dreamverse/scripts/ffmpeg-env.sh
+dreamverse-server --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8009
+```
+
+The Dreamverse backend defaults to `0.0.0.0:8009` and starts one GPU worker on
+the first visible GPU by default.
+
+### Check Readiness
+
+In another shell, verify that the backend process is alive:
+
+```bash
+curl http://localhost:8009/healthz
+```
+
+Then wait for GPU workers and startup warmup to finish:
+
+```bash
+curl http://localhost:8009/readyz
+```
+
+You can also run the same readiness path with:
+
+```bash
+BACKEND_HOST=localhost BACKEND_PORT=8009 apps/dreamverse/scripts/smoke_local.sh
+```
+
+If a backend is already running and you only want the script to probe it:
+
+```bash
+DREAMVERSE_SMOKE_START_BACKEND=0 apps/dreamverse/scripts/smoke_local.sh
+```
+
+### Start Frontend
+
+Start the frontend:
+
+```bash
+cd apps/dreamverse/web
+BACKEND_HOST=localhost BACKEND_PORT=8009 npm run dev
+```
+
+Open `http://localhost:5299`.
+
+## Server B200 deployment (SSH)
+
+Deploying on a remote GPU host (for example a B200 box) is a local install run
+over SSH, plus a few server-specific concerns. Two paths:
+
+### Option A: Native (source install)
+
+SSH in, then follow [Install → From source](#method-2-from-source) and
+(recommended) [Building FFmpeg](#optional-building-ffmpeg-for-better-performance),
+then start the backend as in [Quick Start: Local GPU](#quick-start-local-gpu).
+For a remote host, a few things differ from localhost:
+
+- Bind all interfaces: `dreamverse-server --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8009`.
+- Point the frontend/client at the host: `BACKEND_HOST=<b200-host> BACKEND_PORT=8009 npm run dev`.
+- Keep the backend alive across SSH sessions (`tmux` / `systemd` / `nohup`).
+- Expose / firewall port `8009`, or front it with a reverse proxy + auth.
+
+### Option B: Docker (on the server)
+
+SSH in, then follow [Install → Using Docker](#method-3-using-docker) and the run
+steps in [`docker/README.md`](docker/README.md):
+
+```bash
+CEREBRAS_API_KEY="<key>" GROQ_API_KEY="<key>" apps/dreamverse/docker/docker_run.sh
+```
+
+## Quick Start: Mock Backend (For UI development)
+
+The mock server emulates the Dreamverse backend protocol and streams a
+synthetic FFmpeg-generated fMP4 clip, so the frontend can run without a GPU.
+
+```bash
+dreamverse-mock-server --latency 200 --port 8009
+```
+
+## Tests
+
+Run the focused backend tests that validate local startup wiring, config, GPU
+selection, and mock-server behavior:
+
+```bash
+pytest apps/dreamverse/dreamverse/tests/test_config.py \
+  apps/dreamverse/dreamverse/tests/test_entrypoints.py \
+  apps/dreamverse/dreamverse/tests/test_gpu_pool.py \
+  apps/dreamverse/dreamverse/tests/test_mock_server.py -q
+```
+
+Run the broader Dreamverse backend suite:
+
+```bash
+pytest apps/dreamverse/dreamverse/tests -q
+```
+
+Run the frontend tests:
+
+```bash
+cd apps/dreamverse/web
+npm test
+```
+
+Run the frontend e2e tests:
+
+```bash
+cd apps/dreamverse/web
+npm run e2e
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+`dreamverse-server` exits with an install hint
+
+- install the Dreamverse extra with `UV_TORCH_BACKEND=cu126 uv pip install -e ".[dreamverse]"` from a
+  source checkout, or `UV_TORCH_BACKEND=cu126 uv pip install "fastvideo[dreamverse]"` from PyPI
+  (`cu130` on CUDA 13).
+
+Prompt-provider environment variable errors
+
+- set `CEREBRAS_API_KEY`
+- set `GROQ_API_KEY`
+- direct `dreamverse-server` launches do not source `~/.env`; export the keys
+  in the shell or use the bundled launch scripts, which source `~/.env`.
+
+`/readyz` stays at `503`
+
+- wait for model loading and startup warmup to finish
+- confirm a compatible CUDA GPU is visible to the process
+- check backend logs for worker startup or warmup failures
+- for a startup/debug pass without warmup, set
+  `FASTVIDEO_ENABLE_STARTUP_WARMUP=0` before starting the backend
+
+Only one GPU is used
+
+- this is the default local behavior
+- set `FASTVIDEO_GPU_COUNT=<N>` to start N GPU worker subprocesses inside one
+  backend instance
+- set `FASTVIDEO_GPU_COUNT=all` to start one worker for every visible GPU
+- use `CUDA_VISIBLE_DEVICES` first if you need to pin the visible GPU set
+
+Frontend cannot connect to backend
+
+- confirm the backend is running on `8009`; if not, point the frontend at it
+  with `BACKEND_HOST=<host> BACKEND_PORT=<port> npm run dev`
+- confirm `http://localhost:8009/healthz` responds before starting the frontend
+- confirm `http://localhost:8009/readyz` returns `200` before clicking Generate
+- use `apps/dreamverse/scripts/smoke_local.sh` for a repeatable local startup
+  check
+
+Mock backend fails during startup
+
+- install FFmpeg or set `FASTVIDEO_FFMPEG_BIN` to an FFmpeg binary
+- for non-mock local GPU streaming performance, use the native FFmpeg installer
+  described above

+# Dreamverse Architecture
+
+## Overview
+
+Dreamverse currently has two main runtime pieces:
+
+- `apps/dreamverse/web/`: Next.js frontend
+- `apps/dreamverse/dreamverse/`: Python FastAPI runtime
+
+Today, the browser talks directly to the Dreamverse runtime over HTTP and a
+single websocket on `/ws`. The frontend owns UI state and interaction flow. The
+server owns generation state, prompt rewrite, prompt safety, websocket session
+semantics, and GPU-backed execution.
+
+Near-term OSS note:
+
+- `apps/dreamverse/dreamverse/` is the current runtime implementation.
+- A future `controller/` layer is planned for local-only compute management and
+  provider orchestration, but it does not exist yet.
+
+## Repo Map
+
+### Frontend
+
+- `apps/dreamverse/web/src/app/page.tsx`: main client orchestration,
+  websocket connect, init payloads, send paths, and top-level app behavior
+- `apps/dreamverse/web/src/lib/ws/reducer.ts`: reduces normalized websocket
+  events into client stores
+- `apps/dreamverse/web/src/stores/session.ts`: connection, mode, and top-level
+  session UI
+- `apps/dreamverse/web/src/stores/promptWindow.ts`: editable prompt window and
+  seed prompt UI state
+- `apps/dreamverse/web/src/stores/rewrite.ts`: rewrite activity timeline and
+  inspection state
+- `apps/dreamverse/web/src/stores/stream.ts`: playback and stream-related
+  client state
+- `apps/dreamverse/web/src/lib/prompts/promptWindowSnapshot.ts`: prompt-window snapshot
+  building for rewrite requests
+
+### Server
+
+- `apps/dreamverse/dreamverse/main.py`: websocket endpoint, request handling,
+  session state machine, rewrite orchestration, REST routes, and stream relay
+- `apps/dreamverse/dreamverse/gpu_pool.py`: GPU worker processes, warmup, model
+  loading, and `generate_video()` calls through FastVideo
+- `apps/dreamverse/dreamverse/prompt_enhancer.py`: prompt enhancement, rollout
+  rewrite execution, provider selection, and timeout/fallback behavior
+- `apps/dreamverse/dreamverse/rewrite_prompt_payload.py`: canonical rewrite request payload
+  building
+- `apps/dreamverse/dreamverse/config.py`: runtime flags, prompt file paths, provider settings, and
+  warmup config
+- `apps/dreamverse/dreamverse/session_init_image.py`: validates and persists uploaded initial
+  images for segment 1
+
+## Current Split Of Responsibility
+
+### Frontend owns
+
+- local UI state and client-side stores
+- prompt drafts and prompt window editing
+- websocket connection management
+- deciding which user action to send:
+  - `session_init_v2`
+  - `project_init_v1`
+  - `append_prompt`
+  - `rewrite_seed_prompts`
+  - `simple_generate`
+- showing rewrite progress, stream status, prompt history, and devtools views
+
+### Server owns
+
+- websocket session lifecycle and protocol
+- GPU assignment and worker lifecycle
+- the authoritative seed prompt memory used for generation
+- prompt rewrite execution and prompt safety
+- actual generation queue semantics
+- stream chunk emission and segment lifecycle events
+- prompt config and preset persistence routes
+- health and readiness endpoints
+
+Important rule:
+
+- The frontend may propose prompt-window state for rewrite, but the server is
+  the source of truth for the rewritten rollout and the active prompt memory
+  used for generation.
+
+## End-To-End Flow
+
+1. The frontend opens `/ws`.
+2. The frontend sends `session_init_v2` with the initial prompt-window state,
+   preset metadata, and current toggles.
+3. The server validates init data, persists an optional initial image, acquires
+   a GPU slot, and emits session status such as `gpu_assigned`.
+4. The server starts or resumes project generation and emits events like
+   `ltx2_stream_start`, `ltx2_segment_start`, media init/chunks, and completion
+   events.
+5. The frontend reduces those websocket events into its stores and updates the
+   UI.
+6. User actions such as appending prompts, rewriting seed prompts, or starting
+   a single custom clip go back to the server over the same websocket.
+
+## Frontend Architecture
+
+The frontend is store-driven.
+
+- `page.tsx` wires together websocket setup, send helpers, reducer
+  application, and top-level interaction flows.
+- Store modules separate concerns like session state, rewrite state, prompt
+  window state, and stream state.
+- The websocket reducer is responsible for turning normalized runtime events
+  into store updates. If the server event schema changes, the reducer must
+  change with it.
+
+The frontend is intentionally not responsible for:
+
+- generating rewritten prompts locally
+- deciding final prompt safety outcomes
+- reconstructing server session state from scratch
+- inventing its own generation semantics independent of the runtime
+
+## Server Architecture
+
+The current runtime is a FastAPI app with a single long-lived websocket per
+session.
+
+`apps/dreamverse/dreamverse/main.py` manages:
+
+- websocket connect/init
+- prompt queues
+- project and segment state
+- prompt enhancement/rewrite triggers
+- stream relay from GPU workers to the browser
+- session logging and REST endpoints
+
+`apps/dreamverse/dreamverse/gpu_pool.py` manages:
+
+- model loading through FastVideo
+- one or more worker processes
+- startup warmup
+- user join/leave commands
+- `USER_STEP` execution for each segment
+- continuation state between segments
+
+`apps/dreamverse/dreamverse/prompt_enhancer.py` manages:
+
+- prompt enhancement for user-submitted prompts
+- rollout rewrite requests for the prompt window
+- provider selection and fallback across configured prompt providers
+- response normalization and safety-aware failure handling
+
+## FastAPI Surface
+
+The server is a single FastAPI application created in
+`apps/dreamverse/dreamverse/main.py`.
+
+Current built-in FastAPI docs are enabled:
+
+- `/docs`: Swagger UI
+- `/redoc`: ReDoc
+- `/openapi.json`: OpenAPI schema
+
+The runtime also mounts the frontend static build at `/` when one of the
+configured frontend static directories exists. It does not expose the backend
+Python package as static content.
+
+## HTTP API
+
+The current HTTP API is small. Most realtime behavior still goes through the
+websocket.
+
+### Core health and status routes
+
+- `GET /healthz`
+  - process liveness probe
+  - returns a small payload with `status`, `service`, and timestamp
+- `GET /readyz`
+  - readiness probe
+  - returns `503` until prompt services are initialized and at least one GPU
+    worker is ready
+  - returns readiness and GPU pool summary fields such as ready workers, total
+    GPUs, warmup counts, and queue size
+- `GET /status`
+  - returns the current GPU pool status payload from `gpu_pool`
+- `GET /internal/monitor/sessions`
+  - internal monitoring payload for session dashboards
+  - includes pending session count, max available sessions, prompt provider
+    success counts, and timestamp
+
+### Prompt config routes
+
+- `GET /prompt-system-config`
+  - returns the editable prompt-system configuration currently loaded by
+    `PromptEnhancer`
+- `POST /prompt-system-config`
+  - saves prompt-system configuration to disk and reloads prompt config in the
+    runtime
+  - current editable fields include:
+    - next-segment system prompt
+    - auto-extension system prompt
+    - rewrite-window system prompt
+    - rewrite-user system prompt
+    - rewrite model
+    - rewrite temperature
+
+### Devtools-only preset routes
+
+These exist only when `DEVTOOLS_ENABLED` is true in
+`apps/dreamverse/dreamverse/config.py`.
+
+- `GET /curated-presets`
+  - returns merged curated presets, applying the local overlay file on top of
+    the fallback file when both exist
+- `POST /curated-presets/append`
+  - appends a new curated preset to the overlay presets file
+  - validates non-empty label, normalized id, and at least two non-empty
+    segment prompts
+
+## Websocket API
+
+`WS /ws` is the main runtime API.
+
+The websocket owns:
+
+- session init
+- project init and reset
+- prompt append
+- prompt rewrite
+- generation toggles
+- segment lifecycle events
+- media stream delivery
+- runtime error delivery
+
+The websocket is the authoritative API for realtime Dreamverse behavior. The
+HTTP routes mainly support health checks, devtools persistence, and monitoring.
+
+## Prompt Rewrite Architecture
+
+Prompt rewrite is a shared flow with strict ownership boundaries.
+
+### Frontend responsibilities
+
+- collect the rewrite instruction
+- build the prompt-window snapshot from current client state
+- send `rewrite_seed_prompts`
+- show rewrite progress, raw output, fallback state, and resulting prompt list
+
+### Server responsibilities
+
+- validate and normalize the prompt-window payload
+- choose rewrite model, system prompt, timeout, and temperature
+- build the canonical prompt payload in
+  `apps/dreamverse/dreamverse/rewrite_prompt_payload.py`
+- execute rewrite through `PromptEnhancer`
+- apply safety filtering to rewritten prompts
+- replace the authoritative seed prompt memory when rewrite succeeds
+- emit `seed_prompts_updated` and `rewrite_seed_prompts_complete`
+
+Important rule:
+
+- The frontend owns editable drafts.
+- The server owns the accepted rollout.
+
+After a successful rewrite, the frontend should replace its prompt-window view
+from the server payload instead of preserving a locally-derived version.
+
+## Prompt Modes
+
+There are three related prompt paths in the current system:
+
+### Initial rollout
+
+- The frontend sends seed prompts during `session_init_v2`.
+- The server uses those prompts as the initial seed prompt memory.
+- If the rollout starts from an empty prompt window plus an initial rewrite
+  instruction, the server can pause generation until rewrite completes.
+
+### Live append
+
+- The frontend sends `append_prompt`.
+- The server may enhance that prompt, safety-check it, enqueue it, and use it
+  as the next generated segment.
+
+### Rewrite
+
+- The frontend sends `rewrite_seed_prompts`.
+- The server rewrites the entire seed prompt window or generates a new rollout,
+  depending on the payload and current state.
+
+## Initial Image And Segment Handling
+
+The frontend currently sends `initial_image` as part of session init or
+`simple_generate`.
+
+The server:
+
+- validates and persists the image
+- uses it only for segment 1 when present
+- keeps continuation state for later segments in the GPU worker
+
+This means the runtime, not the frontend, decides how segment 1 image
+conditioning and later continuation conditioning are applied.
+
+## Websocket Contract
+
+The websocket is the main integration surface between UI and runtime.
+
+Typical incoming messages from the frontend:
+
+- `session_init_v2`
+- `project_init_v1`
+- `append_prompt`
+- `rewrite_seed_prompts`
+- `simple_generate`
+- `set_enhancement`
+- `set_auto_extension`
+- `set_loop_generation`
+
+Typical outgoing messages from the server:
+
+- `gpu_assigned`
+- `ltx2_stream_start`
+- `ltx2_segment_start`
+- `segment_prompt_source`
+- `prompt_received`
+- `prompt_ready`
+- `prompt_enhancing`
+- `seed_prompts_updated`
+- `rewrite_seed_prompts_complete`
+- `media_init`
+- `media_segment_complete`
+- `project_idle`
+- `error`
+
+Binary websocket frames carry media chunks for playback.
+
+## Current And Planned Architecture
+
+Current architecture:
+
+- browser -> `apps/dreamverse/web`
+- `apps/dreamverse/web` -> `apps/dreamverse/dreamverse/main.py`
+- `apps/dreamverse/dreamverse/main.py` ->
+  `apps/dreamverse/dreamverse/gpu_pool.py`
+- `gpu_pool.py` -> FastVideo runtime
+
+Planned architecture:
+
+- browser -> `apps/dreamverse/web`
+- `apps/dreamverse/web` -> local `controller/`
+- `controller/` -> local or remote Dreamverse runtime
+- runtime -> FastVideo runtime
+
+That future controller split should not move prompt rewrite, session state, or
+generation semantics out of the runtime.

+# Dreamverse OSS Design
+
+## Overview
+
+Dreamverse should ship as a local-first open source application.
+
+- The browser talks only to a local Dreamverse control plane on the user's
+  machine.
+- Provider credentials stay local to that machine.
+- Dreamverse may provision compute on the user's behalf, but Dreamverse does
+  not host that control path as a service.
+
+This keeps the UX simple without turning Dreamverse into a credential-holding
+hosted platform.
+
+## Goals
+
+- Support three compute modes behind one product surface:
+  - local GPU
+  - managed remote GPU via Runpod
+  - managed remote GPU via Modal
+- Keep prompt rewrite, websocket session state, and generation behavior
+  consistent across providers.
+- Keep provider API keys out of browser state and out of any hosted service.
+- Make the existing runtime reusable as the common serving contract.
+- Minimize provider-specific code and isolate it behind a narrow interface.
+
+## Non-goals
+
+- Do not make the frontend call provider APIs directly.
+- Do not unify providers at the level of SSH, VM, serverless, or pod
+  semantics.
+- Do not move prompt rewrite logic into the frontend or controller.
+- Do not require remote compute for the basic product path.
+
+## Current State
+
+Today the repo contains two major pieces:
+
+- `apps/dreamverse/web/`: Next.js frontend
+- `apps/dreamverse/dreamverse/`: FastAPI runtime that owns websocket state,
+  prompt rewrite, prompt safety, and GPU-backed generation
+
+The current runtime already exposes useful health and streaming surfaces such
+as `/healthz`, `/readyz`, `/status`, and `/ws`.
+
+## Target Architecture
+
+The target open source structure should be:
+
+```text
+Dreamverse/
+├── apps/dreamverse/
+│   ├── web/          # browser UI
+│   ├── dreamverse/   # current FastAPI websocket/generation runtime
+│   ├── controller/   # local control plane and provider lifecycle
+│   ├── providers/    # provider adapters
+│   ├── tests/
+│   │   ├── contract/
+│   │   ├── controller/
+│   │   └── smoke/
+│   └── design.md
+└── ...
+```
+
+Near-term note:
+
+- `apps/dreamverse/dreamverse/` is the current runtime implementation.
+- We can keep the code there initially and rename it to `runtime/` only after
+  the controller lands.
+
+## Trust Model
+
+Dreamverse is local-only for control and secrets.
+
+- The user launches Dreamverse on their own machine.
+- Provider API keys are entered into the local app or local CLI.
+- The controller uses those credentials to provision or connect to compute.
+- The browser never talks to Modal or Runpod directly.
+- Dreamverse-hosted infrastructure is not involved.
+
+This is the key reason the provider-based path is acceptable for OSS.
+
+## Responsibility Split
+
+### `apps/dreamverse/web`
+
+The frontend should own:
+
+- UI state, drafts, and local interaction state
+- websocket event reduction into client stores
+- selection of compute mode and display of cost/health/status
+- local forms for provider configuration
+- sending prompt requests and rewrite requests to the local controller
+
+The frontend should not own:
+
+- provider credentials after submission
+- provider API calls
+- runtime lifecycle
+- authoritative prompt window after rewrite
+- prompt safety or generation policy
+
+### `controller`
+
+The local controller should own:
+
+- provider credential loading and local-only storage
+- compute mode selection
+- provisioning, reuse, shutdown, and health monitoring of runtimes
+- reverse proxying HTTP and websocket traffic from the frontend to the active
+  runtime
+- user-visible status such as provisioning, ready, failed, and idle shutdown
+- local persistence for user settings that must survive ephemeral runtimes
+
+The controller should not own:
+
+- prompt rewrite logic
+- seed prompt memory semantics
+- generation queue behavior
+- provider-specific UI state
+
+### `runtime`
+
+The runtime should remain the authoritative owner of:
+
+- `/ws` session state
+- prompt rewrite execution
+- prompt safety
+- seed prompt memory and prompt-window state used for generation
+- generation orchestration and GPU worker lifecycle
+- websocket event schemas
+
+This preserves the current model and avoids splitting state across layers.
+
+## Runtime Contract
+
+Provider abstraction should happen around a stable Dreamverse runtime contract,
+not around infrastructure details.
+
+Minimum runtime surface:
+
+- `GET /healthz`
+- `GET /readyz`
+- `GET /status`
+- `GET/POST /prompt-system-config` if devtools persists config through the
+  runtime
+- curated preset routes if those remain runtime-backed
+- `WS /ws`
+
+Important rule:
+
+- The controller only needs to know how to reach a healthy runtime.
+- The runtime remains provider-agnostic.
+
+## Provider Abstraction
+
+Use a narrow provider interface:
+
+```python
+class ComputeProvider(Protocol):
+    async def ensure_runtime(self, spec: RuntimeSpec) -> RuntimeHandle: ...
+    async def wait_until_ready(self, handle: RuntimeHandle) -> None: ...
+    async def stop_runtime(self, handle: RuntimeHandle) -> None: ...
+```
+
+`RuntimeHandle` should include:
+
+- `provider`
+- `runtime_id`
+- `base_url`
+- `ws_url`
+- runtime auth headers or tokens if needed
+- lifecycle metadata
+- cost or hardware metadata for UI display
+
+The controller should work only with `RuntimeHandle`, never with raw SSH hosts
+or provider-specific payloads after resolution.
+
+## Provider Notes
+
+### Local
+
+Local mode should be the reference implementation.
+
+- Start the runtime as a local subprocess or connect to an already-running
+  local runtime URL.
+- Reuse the same runtime contract as remote providers.
+- Make this the first supported path and the main smoke-test target.
+
+### Runpod
+
+Runpod should be treated as pod lifecycle plus runtime reachability.
+
+- Prefer prepared images or templates that auto-start the Dreamverse runtime.
+- Prefer exposed HTTP/TCP ports for steady-state traffic.
+- Use SSH only for bootstrap fallback, diagnostics, or repair.
+- Avoid a design where the controller shells into the pod for every action.
+
+### Modal
+
+Modal should be treated as deployment-based runtime hosting.
+
+- Wrap the Dreamverse runtime in a thin Modal entrypoint if needed.
+- Reuse the same runtime behavior behind that wrapper.
+- Do not model Modal as a machine that Dreamverse logs into.
+- Do not force the websocket runtime into a per-request serverless handler
+  shape.
+
+## Config and Persistence
+
+Remote compute may be ephemeral, so mutable user configuration should not live
+only inside remote runtimes.
+
+Keep durable state local to the user's machine unless there is a strong reason
+otherwise:
+
+- provider selection
+- provider credentials or credential references
+- default hardware preferences
+- editable prompt presets
+- prompt system prompt overrides
+- idle shutdown policy
+
+Runtime-local state should be treated as disposable unless explicitly synced.
+
+## Prompt Rewrite Ownership
+
+Prompt rewrite remains runtime-owned even after the controller is added.
+
+Frontend responsibilities:
+
+- collect the rewrite instruction
+- build the prompt-window snapshot
+- display rewrite activity and results
+
+Runtime responsibilities:
+
+- validate and normalize the prompt window
+- choose the rewrite system prompt and model settings
+- execute rewrite
+- apply safety filtering
+- replace authoritative seed prompt memory
+- emit the canonical completion events
+
+Controller responsibilities:
+
+- proxy the request and response
+- surface runtime availability and failure state
+
+This boundary should not move.
+
+## Recommended Rollout
+
+1. Finish the path reorg so docs and code agree on `apps/dreamverse/web`.
+2. Introduce `controller/` as a local-only API/proxy process.
+3. Keep `apps/dreamverse/dreamverse/` as the runtime and adapt it behind the
+   controller.
+4. Add `local` provider first.
+5. Add "bring your own runtime URL" as an escape hatch.
+6. Add automated Runpod provisioning.
+7. Add Modal deployment support.
+8. Rename `apps/dreamverse/dreamverse/` to `runtime/` once the split is stable.
+
+## Implementation Plan
+
+The implementation should start with the smallest milestone that gives users a
+working local GPU setup without forcing the controller/provider architecture
+into the first patch series.
+
+### Milestone 0: Make local GPU the official baseline
+
+Goal:
+
+- A user with a working `fastvideo` install can run the Dreamverse backend on a
+  local GPU and connect to it from `apps/dreamverse/web`.
+
+Non-goals for this milestone:
+
+- no controller process yet
+- no provider abstraction yet
+- no Runpod or Modal support yet
+- no secret-management UI yet
+
+Reasoning:
+
+- `apps/dreamverse/dreamverse/` already is the real local GPU runtime.
+- `apps/dreamverse/web` already knows how to talk to a backend over `/ws` and
+  REST rewrites.
+- The shortest path is to make the existing local path explicit, reliable, and
+  tested before adding another layer.
+
+### Milestone 0 work items
+
+#### 0.1 Fix repo path assumptions after the frontend move
+
+Current issue:
+
+- Some paths still assume `prod-ui/`, but the frontend now lives at
+  `apps/dreamverse/web/`.
+
+Required changes:
+
+- update prompt/preset path resolution in
+  `apps/dreamverse/dreamverse/config.py`
+- update docs that still mention `prod-ui`
+- audit any frontend build settings that assume the old repo root
+
+This is prerequisite cleanup. Local GPU mode should not depend on stale
+monorepo paths.
+
+#### 0.2 Make local runtime startup the primary supported entrypoint
+
+Required outcome:
+
+- one documented backend command
+- one documented frontend command
+- one clear env contract for local development
+
+Expected shape:
+
+```bash
+uv pip install -e ".[dreamverse]"
+dreamverse-server --host 0.0.0.0 --port 8009
+
+cd apps/dreamverse/web
+npm ci
+BACKEND_HOST=localhost BACKEND_PORT=8009 npm run dev
+```
+
+Optional but useful:
+
+- add a small root helper script or Make target for local startup
+- add a `dreamverse-doctor` or lightweight startup check later
+
+#### 0.3 Define the minimum local runtime contract
+
+For Milestone 0, the frontend should rely only on the current runtime surface:
+
+- `/ws`
+- `/status`
+- `/healthz`
+- `/readyz`
+- existing prompt/devtools routes
+
+Do not add a second local API layer yet unless the current runtime surface is
+proven insufficient.
+
+#### 0.4 Make failure states explicit in the UI
+
+Local GPU mode fails in a few predictable ways:
+
+- backend not reachable
+- backend reachable but not ready
+- `fastvideo` or model runtime missing
+- no compatible GPU available
+
+Minimum implementation:
+
+- show a clear connection error when `/ws` or `/status` fails
+- surface readiness failures in a human-readable way
+- avoid silent retry loops that hide backend startup failures
+
+This is a small UI pass, not a controller project.
+
+#### 0.5 Add a minimal local smoke test path
+
+At this milestone, local GPU support is "done" only if there is a repeatable
+test path for the local runtime contract.
+
+Minimum test additions:
+
+- backend tests for `/healthz`, `/readyz`, and `/status`
+- a frontend integration test that assumes a reachable backend URL and verifies
+  connection lifecycle behavior
+- one local smoke script that starts the backend and verifies readiness before
+  the frontend is launched
+
+### Milestone 1: Introduce a thin local controller
+
+Goal:
+
+- Preserve the same local GPU behavior, but place a stable local control-plane
+  API in front of the runtime.
+
+This should happen only after Milestone 0 is stable.
+
+Scope:
+
+- add `controller/`
+- proxy `/ws` and the needed REST routes to `apps/dreamverse/dreamverse/`
+- expose controller-owned status for "backend starting", "runtime ready", and
+  "runtime failed"
+- optionally spawn the local runtime as a subprocess
+
+Non-goal:
+
+- do not add remote provider logic yet
+
+Reasoning:
+
+- the controller earns its complexity only once it stabilizes the local
+  contract that future providers will share
+
+### Milestone 2: Provider abstraction on top of the controller
+
+Goal:
+
+- Keep the same frontend contract while allowing the controller to resolve a
+  runtime via `local`, then later `runpod` and `modal`.
+
+At this point:
+
+- define `ComputeProvider`
+- implement `providers/local.py`
+- move local-runtime subprocess management behind the provider interface
+
+The first provider should be `local`, because it is cheapest to debug and
+matches the runtime most closely.
+
+## Minimal Code Change Order
+
+If we want the shortest path to a working local GPU milestone, the change order
+should be:
+
+1. Fix `apps/dreamverse/dreamverse/config.py` and any remaining path
+   assumptions from `prod-ui` to `apps/dreamverse/web`.
+2. Update `README.md` to document the real local GPU startup flow.
+3. Confirm `apps/dreamverse/web` connects cleanly to the local wrapper-backed
+   backend.
+4. Improve frontend error handling for backend-not-ready and backend-missing
+   cases.
+5. Add a local smoke test and keep existing backend/frontend tests green.
+6. Only then introduce `controller/`.
+
+## Test Plan for the Local GPU Milestone
+
+### Backend
+
+Keep the current Python test suite as the base:
+
+- `apps/dreamverse/dreamverse/tests/test_health_endpoints.py`
+- `apps/dreamverse/dreamverse/tests/test_mock_server.py`
+- `apps/dreamverse/dreamverse/tests/test_prompt_enhancer.py`
+- `apps/dreamverse/dreamverse/tests/test_rewrite_prompt_payload.py`
+- related config and logging tests
+
+Add or tighten tests for:
+
+- path resolution in `apps/dreamverse/dreamverse/config.py`
+- readiness behavior when GPU pool initialization fails
+- startup error messaging when `fastvideo` is unavailable
+
+### Frontend
+
+Keep the current Vitest suite as the base:
+
+- websocket reducer tests
+- prompt-window snapshot tests
+- integration tests under `apps/dreamverse/web/src/app/`
+
+Add or tighten tests for:
+
+- connection failure UX when backend is down
+- readiness failure UX when backend returns non-ready status
+- backend routing configuration through `BACKEND_HOST` and `BACKEND_PORT`
+
+### Manual smoke path
+
+The first manual smoke checklist should be:
+
+1. start `dreamverse-server`
+2. confirm `GET /healthz` returns 200
+3. confirm `GET /readyz` returns 200 after warmup
+4. start `apps/dreamverse/web`
+5. confirm the UI opens and the websocket connects
+6. submit a prompt and verify the first generation starts
+
+This checklist should be written down in the README once the milestone is
+implemented.
+
+## Test Strategy
+
+The test suite should preserve one rule: provider changes must not be able to
+break prompt rewrite, websocket semantics, or runtime behavior silently.
+
+### 1. Runtime unit and integration tests
+
+Keep and expand the current `pytest` coverage in
+`apps/dreamverse/dreamverse/tests/test_*.py`.
+
+Focus areas:
+
+- config loading
+- prompt rewrite payload normalization
+- prompt enhancement and prompt safety
+- health/readiness endpoints
+- websocket session behavior
+- session logging
+- mock runtime behavior
+
+These tests should remain provider-agnostic.
+
+### 2. Controller unit tests
+
+Add a Python test suite for the controller state machine.
+
+Key cases:
+
+- provider selection and validation
+- credential loading from local config or env
+- runtime lifecycle transitions:
+  - idle
+  - provisioning
+  - ready
+  - failed
+  - stopping
+- idle timeout and cleanup behavior
+- retry and backoff behavior
+- HTTP and websocket proxy routing
+
+These tests should use fake providers and fake runtimes by default.
+
+### 3. Provider contract tests
+
+Each provider should pass the same contract tests.
+
+Examples:
+
+- `ensure_runtime()` returns a usable `RuntimeHandle`
+- `wait_until_ready()` surfaces timeout vs readiness correctly
+- `stop_runtime()` is safe to call twice
+- provider errors are mapped into stable controller error types
+
+Use recorded fixtures or fakes wherever possible to avoid spend in CI.
+
+### 4. Web contract tests
+
+The frontend already has useful Vitest coverage under
+`apps/dreamverse/web/src`.
+Preserve that and expand around the controller split.
+
+Priority areas:
+
+- websocket event reduction
+- prompt-window snapshot construction
+- rewrite request shaping
+- compute-status UI
+- failure and reconnect UX
+
+The frontend should mock the local controller API, not provider APIs.
+
+### 5. Cross-layer protocol tests
+
+Add contract fixtures that validate shared payloads across layers.
+
+Important fixtures:
+
+- websocket event payloads
+- rewrite request payloads
+- runtime status payloads
+- controller status payloads
+
+These can be simple JSON fixtures validated by both Python and TypeScript
+tests. They will catch drift earlier than end-to-end tests.
+
+### 6. Smoke tests
+
+Add a small number of high-signal smoke tests:
+
+- local provider + mock runtime
+- local provider + real runtime when GPU is available
+- controller startup + frontend health path
+
+These should be cheap enough for routine local use.
+
+### 7. Provider-backed manual or nightly tests
+
+Real Modal and Runpod tests should be opt-in.
+
+- Do not run them in default CI.
+- Gate them behind explicit credentials and flags.
+- Keep them focused on provisioning and reachability, not full product
+  regression.
+
+This avoids flaky and expensive CI while still validating real provider flows.
+
+## Testing Recommendations for the Next Step
+
+The next practical additions should be:
+
+1. A controller test suite in Python using fake providers.
+2. Shared contract fixtures for websocket and rewrite payloads.
+3. A smoke test that starts the local controller against the existing mock
+   runtime.
+
+I would not add Playwright yet. The current web stack already has Vitest and
+integration-style component tests, which are cheaper and better aligned with
+the immediate reorg. Add browser automation only after the controller path is
+stable.

+# Dreamverse Docker Image
+
+This folder contains the Docker image for Dreamverse inside the FastVideo
+monorepo. Build commands use the FastVideo repository root as the Docker
+context, so run the helper scripts from this folder or from any path in the
+checkout.
+
+## Build
+
+```bash
+apps/dreamverse/docker/docker_build.sh
+```
+
+The image defaults to `dreamverse:dev`. Override it with:
+
+```bash
+DREAMVERSE_IMAGE=dreamverse:local apps/dreamverse/docker/docker_build.sh
+```
+
+Backend-only remains the default image. To include the static Dreamverse UI
+served by the backend, set `BUILD_DREAMVERSE_UI=1` and choose a specific image
+tag:
+
+```bash
+BUILD_DREAMVERSE_UI=1 DREAMVERSE_IMAGE=<image-tag> apps/dreamverse/docker/docker_build.sh
+```
+
+Prefer SHA-specific tags for deployable images; avoid `latest`.
+
+The Dockerfile defaults to CUDA 13.0.0 with the cu130 PyTorch backend. CI also
+builds a CUDA 12.6.3 / cu126 image. Select that local build explicitly with:
+
+```bash
+CUDA_VERSION=12.6.3 apps/dreamverse/docker/docker_build.sh
+```
+
+The helper derives `UV_TORCH_BACKEND=cu126` for CUDA 12.x and `cu130` for CUDA
+13.x. Set `UV_TORCH_BACKEND` explicitly for a custom CUDA version. The legacy
+complete-image-tag override remains supported and selects the same matching
+backend:
+
+```bash
+CUDA_TAG=12.6.3-cudnn-devel-ubuntu22.04 apps/dreamverse/docker/docker_build.sh
+```
+
+Do not set `CUDA_TAG` and `CUDA_VERSION` together. The image installs FastVideo
+from this checkout with the `dreamverse` extra, including FA4 flash-attention
+and FlashInfer for NVFP4 quantization, and builds native FFmpeg.
+
+FastVideo's pinned `fastvideo-kernel==0.3.2` package is installed by default.
+To rebuild `fastvideo-kernel` from this checkout during the image build, set:
+
+```bash
+BUILD_FASTVIDEO_KERNEL_FROM_SOURCE=1 apps/dreamverse/docker/docker_build.sh
+```
+
+That source build detects the GPU architecture with torch during `docker
+build`. On hosts where Docker does not expose GPUs during build, leave the
+default package install path enabled.
+
+## Run
+
+```bash
+CEREBRAS_API_KEY="<your-key>" \
+GROQ_API_KEY="<your-key>" \
+apps/dreamverse/docker/docker_run.sh
+```
+
+The container serves Dreamverse on host port `8009` by default and mounts:
+
+```text
+$HOME/.cache/huggingface -> /root/.cache/huggingface
+apps/dreamverse/outputs -> /var/lib/dreamverse/outputs
+```
+
+Override the host port and output directory with `BACKEND_PORT` and
+`DREAMVERSE_OUTPUTS_DIR`.
+
+To pin the container to a specific host GPU, pass Docker's GPU request syntax:
+
+```bash
+DREAMVERSE_DOCKER_GPUS=device=4 FASTVIDEO_GPU_COUNT=1 \
+  CEREBRAS_API_KEY="<your-key>" \
+  GROQ_API_KEY="<your-key>" \
+  apps/dreamverse/docker/docker_run.sh
+```
+
+## Smoke
+
+```bash
+CEREBRAS_API_KEY=placeholder \
+GROQ_API_KEY=placeholder \
+apps/dreamverse/docker/docker_smoke.sh
+```
+
+The smoke script starts the container, polls `/healthz`, then polls `/readyz`.
+It removes the container on exit unless `DREAMVERSE_KEEP_CONTAINER=1` is set.

+
+    Args:
+        frames: RGB24 video frames as HxWx3 uint8 arrays.
+        audio: 1D/2D tensor or ndarray, float values in [-1, 1].
+        audio_sample_rate: sample rate of ``audio``.
+        stream_id: caller-supplied identifier carried on every event.
+        timings: dict mutated in place with ffmpeg/stream timing metrics.
+        head_trim_frames: video frames to drop from the start
+            (conditioning overlap).
+        head_trim_audio_frames: video-frame-equivalent audio to drop.
+            Defaults to ``head_trim_frames``.
+        shared_buffer: optional ``mp.RawArray``-compatible object; when
+            provided, chunks are written into it and emitted by offset
+            rather than by bytes (avoids IPC copies).
+        shared_buffer_bytes: size of ``shared_buffer`` in bytes.
+        publish: callback invoked once per stream event.
+        log_prefix: prepended to warning prints (e.g. ``"[GPU 0]"``).
+
+    Returns:
+        ``(True, None)`` on success, ``(False, error_message)`` on
+        failure.  On mid-stream failure, a ``StreamInit`` may have
+        already been published — the caller is responsible for
