[feat] eval: async VideoPool + GPU-side common metrics + safe optical-flow chunks

Pipelines path → tensor decode behind GPU metric compute via a new VideoPool, so multi-sample eval runs no longer serialize disk I/O and metric work. The Evaluator owns one pool per evaluate(samples=...) call; each EvalWorker is a single-GPU consumer that grabs decoded samples from the shared queue (work-stealing across replicas when num_gpus > 1). Worker pre-uploads video/reference to its device once per sample so every metric in the loop consumes the same GPU-resident tensor (no per-metric .to(device) traffic). SSIM and PSNR move to the GPU — at 1080p × 121 frames the CPU path was both slow (5–10 s/pair) and contended with the loader thread for DDR bandwidth. LPIPS gains a chunk_size knob (default 8) that caps peak from ~60 GB to ~5 GB with bit-identical output. Optical-flow metrics drop chunk_size to 1 because DPFlow's cost volume is ~4 GB per frame pair at 1080p (matches mhuo/ptlflow upstream). physics_iq and a handful of vbench metrics drop their list-batch shims — the per-sample contract is now uniform across the suite.

+name: seed-ssim-references
+description: Seed HF reference videos for a single newly-added SSIM test. Runs the test on Modal L40S, downloads the generated mp4s via `modal volume get`, pauses for the user to eyeball quality, 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 Videos
+
+## Purpose
+
+A brand-new SSIM test in `fastvideo/tests/ssim/` fails forever until its
+reference videos exist on the HF dataset (`FastVideo/ssim-reference-videos`).
+This skill:
+
+1. Runs the test on Modal's L40S pool to generate the videos.
+2. Downloads them to the local repo via `modal volume get`.
+3. Pauses so the user can eyeball the mp4s and confirm quality.
+4. 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 mp4 without crashing. 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
+
+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.
+
+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:
+
+```bash
+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
+```
+
+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
+
+Print the list of downloaded mp4s and their paths, then stop. Tell the user:
+
+> "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."
+
+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 mp4s. Loop over each `<model_id>` extracted
+in step 1:
+
+```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`
+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: `fastvideo/tests/ssim/reference_videos/default/L40S_reference_videos/<model_id>/<backend>/<prompt>.mp4`.
+
+### 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.
+- **Modal run fails before generation.** No mp4s 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 videos (most likely the test
+  crashed before writing, or `REQUIRED_GPUS` exceeded the partition capacity
+  — see Modal logs).
+- **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 mp4s 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.
+
+## 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 (SSIM drifts across SKUs).
+- 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`.
+

+## Where the metrics live

+`fastvideo.eval.metrics` is imported.
+
+- **Native metrics** (SSIM, PSNR, LPIPS, optical flow, VLM): add a

+- **Metrics that wrap upstream research code**: follow the vbench
+  pattern in `fastvideo/eval/metrics/vbench/`. The contract is:
+  - Upstream lives as a git submodule under
+    `fastvideo/third_party/eval/<bench>/`, pinned to a SHA in repo-root
+    `.gitmodules`.
+  - The metric package's `__init__.py` inserts the submodule path on
+    `sys.path` and installs runtime compat shims (attribute-level
+    monkey-patches) for any modern-dep drift. Do not modify upstream
+    files on disk, and do not ship a `setup.sh`.
+  - See `fastvideo/eval/README.md` for the worked vbench example.

+          ## Pre-commit checks failed
+
+          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.

+            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.

+```
+
+---
+
+## CI Tiers
+
+### Tier 1: Pre-commit (every PR push)
+
+| Attribute | Value |
+|-----------|-------|
+| Triggered by | Every push to any PR branch, plus pushes to `main` |
+| Runs on | GitHub Actions, `ubuntu-latest` |
+| Duration | ~2 minutes |
+
+**Checks run** (from `.pre-commit-config.yaml`, stage: `manual`):
+
+| Hook | What it checks |
+|------|---------------|
+| `yapf` | Python code formatting |
+| `ruff` | Python linting and auto-fixable style issues |
+| `codespell` | Spelling errors in code and docs |
+| `pymarkdown` | Markdown formatting |
+| `actionlint` | GitHub Actions workflow syntax |
+| `mypy` | Static type checking (Python 3.10 target) |
+| `check-filenames` | No spaces in tracked filenames |
+
+A failure here means code style or type issues. Run `pre-commit run --all-files` locally to
+replicate CI results before pushing.
+
+---
+
+### Tier 2: Fastcheck (path-filtered, every PR push)
+
+| Attribute | Value |
+|-----------|-------|
+| Triggered by | Every push; the monorepo-diff plugin skips tests for unchanged paths |
+| Runs on | Buildkite, Modal GPU instances |
+| Duration | ~10-20 minutes per test (run in parallel) |
+
+**Tests and their path triggers:**
+
+| Buildkite label | `TEST_TYPE` | Triggers when you change |
+|-----------------|-------------|--------------------------|
+| Encoder Tests | `encoder` | `fastvideo/models/encoders/**`, `fastvideo/models/loader/**`, `fastvideo/tests/encoders/**`, `pyproject.toml`, `docker/Dockerfile.python3.12` |
+| VAE Tests | `vae` | `fastvideo/models/vaes/**`, `fastvideo/models/loader/**`, `fastvideo/tests/vaes/**`, `pyproject.toml`, `docker/Dockerfile.python3.12` |
+| Transformer Tests | `transformer` | `fastvideo/models/dits/**`, `fastvideo/models/loader/**`, `fastvideo/tests/transformers/**`, `fastvideo/layers/**`, `fastvideo/attention/**`, `pyproject.toml`, `docker/Dockerfile.python3.12` |
+| Kernel Tests | `kernel_tests` | `fastvideo-kernel/**`, `pyproject.toml`, `docker/Dockerfile.python3.12` |
+| Unit Tests | `unit_test` | `fastvideo/**`, `.buildkite/**`, `.github/**`, `pyproject.toml`, `docker/Dockerfile.python3.12` |
+
+A Fastcheck failure means a component-level regression. Check the Buildkite build log for the
+failing test's output.
+
+---
+
+### Tier 3: Full Test Suite (triggered by `ready` label)
+
+| Attribute | Value |
+|-----------|-------|
+| Triggered by | Adding the `ready` label to the PR (via `/merge` command), or a `/test full` command |
+| Runs on | Buildkite, Modal GPU instances |
+| Duration | 60-90 minutes total (tests run in parallel, path-filtered) |
+
+**Tests:**
+
+| Buildkite label | `TEST_TYPE` | Timeout |
+|-----------------|-------------|---------|
+| SSIM Tests | `ssim` | 90 min |
+| LoRA Inference Tests | `inference_lora` | 20 min |
+| Training Tests | `training` | 15 min |
+| Distillation DMD Tests | `distillation_dmd` | 15 min |
+| Self-Forcing Tests | `self_forcing` | 15 min |
+| LoRA Training Tests | `training_lora` | 15 min |
+| Training Tests VSA | `training_vsa` | 15 min |
+| Inference Tests VMoBA | `inference_vmoba` | 15 min |
+| Performance Tests | `performance` | 30 min |
+| API Server Tests | `api_server` | 30 min |
+
+If a Full Suite test fails, check the Buildkite build log for the failing step's output.
+Fix the regression, push, and comment `/merge` again to re-trigger.
+
+---
+
+## Auto-merge Flow
+
+Mergify prevents untested code from landing on `main` by gating squash-merge on the Full
+Suite passing directly on the PR branch.
+
+**How it works:**
+
+1. A developer comments `/merge` on an approved PR (or a maintainer adds the `ready` label).
+2. The `ready` label triggers `ci-trigger-full-suite.yml`, which calls the Buildkite API to
+   run the Full Suite on the PR branch itself.
+3. While the Full Suite runs, Mergify also auto-rebases the PR branch against `main` if it
+   is behind and has no conflicts.
+4. Once the Full Suite posts `full-suite-passed`, Mergify checks all **merge conditions**:
+   - `pre-commit` check is green
+   - `fastcheck-passed` check is green
+   - `full-suite-passed` check is green
+   - At least 1 approved review (`#approved-reviews-by>=1`)
+   - PR title starts with a valid `[type]` tag
+   - PR is not a draft
+   - No merge conflicts
+5. If all conditions pass, Mergify squash-merges to `main` automatically. The branch is
+   deleted after merge.
+6. If the Full Suite fails, the developer fixes the issue, pushes, and comments `/merge`
+   again to re-trigger.
+
+**Merge conditions summary:**
+
+| Condition | Meaning |
+|-----------|---------|
+| `check-success~=pre-commit` | Tier 1 pre-commit must be green |
+| `check-success=fastcheck-passed` | Tier 2 Fastcheck must be green |
+| `check-success=full-suite-passed` | Tier 3 Full Suite must be green |
+| `#approved-reviews-by>=1` | At least one approved review |
+| `title~=(?i)^\[(feat|bugfix|...)` | PR title has a valid type tag |
+| `-draft` | PR is not in draft state |
+| `-conflict` | No merge conflicts with base branch |
+| `-closed` | PR is still open |
+
+---
+
+## Label System
+
+Labels are applied automatically. You don't need to set them manually.
+
+### Type Labels (from PR title prefix)
+
+Applied by Mergify based on the `[tag]` at the start of the PR title.
+
+| Label | Matched title prefix | Meaning |
+|-------|---------------------|---------|
+| `type: feat` | `[feat]` or `[feature]` | New feature or capability |
+| `type: bugfix` | `[bugfix]` or `[fix]` | Bug fix |
+| `type: refactor` | `[refactor]` | Code restructuring, no behavior change |
+| `type: perf` | `[perf]` | Performance improvement |
+| `type: ci` | `[ci]` | CI/CD or tooling changes |
+| `type: docs` | `[doc]` or `[docs]` | Documentation only |
+| `type: misc` | `[misc]` or `[chore]` | Housekeeping, dependency bumps |
+| `type: new-model` | `[new-model]` | Adding a new model |
+
+### Scope Labels (from changed files)
+
+Applied by Mergify based on which paths you modified. Multiple scope labels can be added.
+
+| Label | File paths that trigger it |
+|-------|---------------------------|
+| `scope: training` | `fastvideo/train/`, `fastvideo/training/`, `fastvideo/distillation/`, `examples/train/`, `examples/training/`, `examples/distill/` |
+| `scope: inference` | `fastvideo/pipelines/basic/`, `fastvideo/pipelines/stages/`, `fastvideo/pipelines/samplers/`, `fastvideo/entrypoints/`, `fastvideo/worker/`, `fastvideo/api/sampling_param.py`, `fastvideo/configs/pipelines/`, `examples/inference/` |
+| `scope: attention` | `fastvideo/attention/` |
+| `scope: kernel` | `fastvideo-kernel/`, `csrc/` |
+| `scope: data` | `fastvideo/dataset/`, `fastvideo/pipelines/preprocess/`, `examples/preprocessing/` |
+| `scope: infra` | `.github/`, `.buildkite/`, `fastvideo/tests/`, `docker/` |
+| `scope: distributed` | `fastvideo/distributed/` |
+| `scope: docs` | `docs/` |
+| `scope: ui` | `ui/` |
+| `scope: model` | `fastvideo/models/`, `fastvideo/layers/`, `fastvideo/configs/models/` |
+
+### Process Labels
+
+| Label | Who sets it | Meaning |
+|-------|-------------|---------|
+| `ready` | Developer (`/merge` command) or maintainer | Triggers Full Suite and enables auto-merge |
+| `needs-rebase` | Mergify (automatic) | PR has merge conflicts; rebase needed |
+| `do-not-merge` | Maintainer | Blocks queue entry regardless of other conditions |
+
+---
+
+## PR Title Format
+
+All PR titles targeting `main` must start with a bracketed type tag. This is enforced by a
+Mergify merge protection rule and is required before a PR can be squash-merged.
+
+**Format:**
+
+```
+[type] Short description
+```
+
+**Valid type tags:**
+
+`feat`, `feature`, `bugfix`, `fix`, `refactor`, `perf`, `ci`, `doc`, `docs`, `misc`, `chore`,
+`kernel`, `new-model`
+
+**Valid examples:**
+
+```
+[feat] Add causal Wan pipeline
+[bugfix] Fix VAE temporal tiling corruption
+[refactor] Restructure training framework
+[perf] Optimize FlashAttention kernel dispatch
+[docs] Add inference guide for LoRA
+[new-model] Port HunyuanVideo 1.5 to FastVideo
+```
+
+**Invalid examples (will block merge):**
+
+```
+Add causal Wan pipeline          ← missing type tag
+FEAT: Add pipeline               ← wrong format
+feat: Add pipeline               ← square brackets required
+```
+
+If your title is invalid, Mergify posts a comment explaining the required format and the
+merge protection check will remain failed until you update the title.
+
+---
+
+## Slash Commands
+
+Slash commands let contributors and maintainers trigger CI actions directly from PR comments.
+**Write permission to the repository is required.**
+
+The command is recognized within a few seconds. The workflow reacts with a 🚀 emoji to confirm.
+
+### `/merge`
+
+```
+/merge
+```
+
+Adds the `ready` label to the PR, which triggers the Full Suite on your PR branch and
+enables Mergify to auto-squash-merge once all conditions pass.
+
+The command first removes the `ready` label if it is already present, then re-adds it. This
+ensures the `labeled` event fires and a fresh Full Suite build is started even on a re-try.
+
+### `/test <name>`
+
+```
+/test <name>
+```
+
+Triggers a specific Buildkite test or suite on the current PR branch.
+
+| Command | Runs | Maps to `TEST_TYPE` |
+|---------|------|---------------------|
+| `/test encoder` | Encoder Tests (Fastcheck) | `encoder` |
+| `/test vae` | VAE Tests (Fastcheck) | `vae` |
+| `/test transformer` | Transformer Tests (Fastcheck) | `transformer` |
+| `/test kernel` | Kernel Tests (Fastcheck) | `kernel_tests` |
+| `/test unit` | Unit Tests (Fastcheck) | `unit_test` |
+| `/test ssim` | SSIM regression tests | `ssim` |
+| `/test training` | Training pipeline tests | `training` |
+| `/test lora-inference` | LoRA inference tests | `inference_lora` |
+| `/test lora-training` | LoRA training tests | `training_lora` |
+| `/test distillation` | DMD distillation tests | `distillation_dmd` |
+| `/test self-forcing` | Self-Forcing tests | `self_forcing` |
+| `/test vsa` | VSA training tests | `training_vsa` |
+| `/test vmoba` | VMoBA inference tests | `inference_vmoba` |
+| `/test performance` | Performance benchmarks | `performance` |
+| `/test api` | API server integration tests | `api_server` |
+| `/test full` | Entire Full Suite | all (with `TEST_SCOPE=full`) |
+| `/test fastcheck` | Entire Fastcheck suite | fastcheck (with `TEST_SCOPE=fastcheck`) |
+| `/test pre-commit` | Pre-commit checks on PR code | — (runs `ci-precommit.yml` via `workflow_call`) |
+
+**Re-running failed tests:** When you use `/test <name>` to re-run a specific failed test,
+the resulting Buildkite check uses the same name as the original (e.g., `/test encoder`
+creates `buildkite/ci/microscope-encoder-tests`). This overwrites the failed check status.
+Once all tests in a tier pass, the aggregate status (`fastcheck-passed` or
+`full-suite-passed`) is automatically updated to `success` by the `ci-aggregate-status.yml`
+workflow.
+
+**How aggregate status refresh works:**
+
+1. `/test <name>` triggers a Buildkite build with `TEST_SCOPE=direct`. The test step uses
+   the same label as its fastcheck/full-suite counterpart, so the resulting GitHub check
+   overwrites the original.
+2. When the build completes, Buildkite's `notify` posts a `direct-test-completed` commit
+   status. This is the only signal that triggers the aggregate workflow — intermediate step
+   status updates do not trigger it.
+3. `ci-aggregate-status.yml` fires, calls `getCombinedStatusForRef` to fetch the latest
+   status for every context on that commit (each context returns only its most recent
+   state), groups them by prefix (`microscope-*` → fastcheck, `test-tube-*`/`bar-chart-*`
+   → full suite), and posts `fastcheck-passed: success` or `full-suite-passed: success` if
+   all entries in the group are `success`.
+4. Tests that were never triggered (skipped by monorepo-diff) have no status entry and do
+   not block the aggregate.
+
+---
+
+## Auto Branch Cleanup
+
+After a PR is squash-merged to `main`, Mergify automatically deletes the head branch.
+Protected branches (`main`, `master`, `release/*`) are never deleted.

+# RunPod Development Environment

-# 📦 Developing FastVideo on RunPod
+RunPod gives you on-demand cloud GPUs for FastVideo development. It's useful when you need a beefy GPU to test training runs, benchmark inference, or reproduce results without waiting for shared cluster time.

-You can easily use the FastVideo Pod Template on [RunPod](https://www.runpod.io) for development or experimentation.
+## Prerequisites

-## Creating a new pod
+- A [RunPod](https://www.runpod.io) account with billing configured
+- An SSH key pair. If you don't have one, generate it with `ssh-keygen -t ed25519`
+- Your public key (`~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub`) ready to paste into RunPod
+
+## Step 1: Create a Pod
+
+**1. Verify your account**
+
+Make sure you're logged into the right RunPod account before spending credits.

- Make sure you are using the correct RunPod account.
 ![RunPod Account Selection](../../assets/images/runpod_account.png)

- Use "Additional Filters" to select CUDA 12.8.
+**2. Filter by CUDA version**
+
+Use "Additional Filters" to select CUDA 12.8.
+
 ![RunPod CUDA selection](../../assets/images/runpod_cuda.png)

- Click "Deploy" and Pick a single A40 or RTX 4090 GPU.
+**3. Select a GPU**
+
+Click "Deploy" and pick a GPU. See [GPU Recommendations](#gpu-recommendations) below for guidance on which GPU to choose.
+
 ![RunPod GPU Selection](../../assets/images/runpod_deploy.png)

- Select the "FastVideo" or "fastvideo-dev" Pod Template.
+**4. Pick the FastVideo template**
+
+Select the "FastVideo" or "fastvideo-dev" Pod Template. This pulls the pre-built image that includes all dependencies, Flash Attention, and a ready-to-use `uv` environment.
+
 ![RunPod Pod Template Selection](../../assets/images/runpod_create.png)

- Set the Pod name to "`<name>-<FastVideo>-<date>`".
+**5. Name your pod**
+
+Use a memorable name like `yourname-fastvideo-2026-03-28`. This helps if you have multiple pods running.
+
+**6. Add a persistent volume (recommended)**
+
+Attach a network volume to `/root/.cache` or `/models` for storing downloaded model weights. Models can be 10-50 GB each, and re-downloading them every session wastes time and bandwidth.
+
+**7. Deploy**
+
+Click Deploy. The pod takes a few minutes to start while the image pulls. You'll see it transition to "Running" in your dashboard.
+
+## Step 2: Connect via SSH
+
+Once the pod is running, find the "SSH over exposed TCP" connection string in the pod dashboard.

- Finally, once the pod is deployed (will take a few minutes as the image is being pulled), you can SSH into it using "SSH exposed over TCP". You'll need to use the matching private ssh key you provided.
 ![RunPod SSH](../../assets/images/runpod_ssh.png)

-## Working with the pod
-
-After SSH'ing into your pod, you'll find the correct `uv` environment already activated and you should be in /FastVideo/ directory. Make sure to use /FastVideo/ for all your work.
-
-To pull in the latest changes from the GitHub repo:
+Connect with:

 ```bash
-cd /FastVideo
-git pull
+ssh root@<pod-ip> -p <port> -i ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
 ```

-Run your development workflows as usual:
+RunPod also supports VS Code Remote SSH if you prefer an IDE.

-```bash
-# Run linters
-pre-commit run --all-files
+### Custom template (advanced)

-# Run tests
-pytest tests/
-```
-
-Make sure to push your changes back to the GitHub repo as nothing will be saved to the pod when it is terminated.
-
-After you are done with your work, you can terminate the pod by clicking the "Terminate" and "Delete" buttons. Remember if the pod is not completely deleted, Runpod will keep charging you for it.
-
-## Extra Information:
-If you need to customize the pod template this section has some useful information. For the most part you can leave the defaults of the FastVideo Pod Template.
-
-When creating your pod template, use this image:
+If you're setting up a pod from scratch instead of the FastVideo template, use this image:

 ```
 ghcr.io/hao-ai-lab/fastvideo/fastvideo-dev:py3.12-latest
 ```

-Paste Container Start Command to support SSH ([RunPod Docs](https://docs.runpod.io/pods/configuration/use-ssh)):
+And paste this as the Container Start Command to enable SSH ([RunPod docs](https://docs.runpod.io/pods/configuration/use-ssh)):

 ```bash
 bash -c "apt update;DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install openssh-server -y;mkdir -p ~/.ssh;cd $_;chmod 700 ~/.ssh;echo \"$PUBLIC_KEY\" >> authorized_keys;chmod 700 authorized_keys;service ssh start;sleep infinity"
 ```

 ![RunPod template configuration](../../assets/images/runpod_template.png)
+
+## Step 3: Set Up FastVideo
+
+After SSH'ing in, the `uv` virtual environment at `/opt/venv` is already activated (configured in `.bashrc` and `.profile`). You land in the `/FastVideo` directory.
+
+**Clone or pull the repo**
+
+If the pod already has the FastVideo repo:
+
+```bash
+cd /FastVideo
+git pull
+```
+
+If starting from a blank pod:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/hao-ai-lab/FastVideo.git /FastVideo
+cd /FastVideo
+```
+
+**Install the package**
+
+```bash
+uv pip install -e .[dev]
+```
+
+The Docker image already includes Flash Attention and most heavy dependencies, so this is fast.
+
+**Build the custom kernels (optional)**
+
+VSA and STA attention kernels aren't in the Docker image by default. Build them if you're working on attention backends or need maximum inference performance:
+
+```bash
+cd /FastVideo/fastvideo-kernel
+./build.sh
+```
+
+The build script detects your GPU architecture automatically. An A100 or H100 takes about 5-10 minutes.
+
+**Verify the setup**
+
+```bash
+cd /FastVideo
+python -c "import fastvideo; print('OK')"
+pytest tests/ -q --no-header
+```
+
+## Development Workflow
+
+### Editing code on RunPod
+
+Two common approaches:
+
+**Option A: Edit on RunPod directly**
+
+Use VS Code Remote SSH or `vim`/`nano` on the pod. Commit and push when you're ready:
+
+```bash
+cd /FastVideo
+git add .
+git commit -m "your change"
+git push
+```
+
+**Option B: Edit locally, sync to RunPod**
+
+Work in your local repo, then pull on the pod:
+
+```bash
+# On RunPod:
+cd /FastVideo
+git pull
+```
+
+This keeps your local tools (editor, linters) intact while running GPU workloads on the pod.
+
+### Running linters and tests
+
+```bash
+# Lint
+pre-commit run --all-files
+
+# Full test suite
+pytest tests/
+
+# Just package tests
+pytest fastvideo/tests/ -v
+```
+
+### Storing models
+
+If you attached a persistent volume, point your model downloads there:
+
+```bash
+export HF_HOME=/models/huggingface
+export TRANSFORMERS_CACHE=/models/huggingface
+```
+
+Add these to `/root/.bashrc` so they persist across SSH sessions. The volume survives pod termination, so you only download models once.
+
+### Terminating the pod
+
+When you're done, push any commits you want to keep. RunPod does not save pod storage after termination.
+
+Go to your RunPod dashboard, click "Terminate", then "Delete". A pod that's stopped but not deleted still charges you for storage. Fully delete it to stop all charges.
+
+## GPU Recommendations
+
+| GPU | VRAM | Good for |
+|-----|------|----------|
+| RTX 4090 | 24 GB | Inference testing, small model fine-tuning, quick iteration |
+| A40 | 48 GB | Mid-size training runs, 480p video generation |
+| A100 (40 GB) | 40 GB | Multi-GPU inference, training with sequence parallelism |
+| A100 (80 GB) | 80 GB | Large model training, 720p+ video generation |
+| H100 | 80 GB | Heavy training, benchmarking, kernel development |
+
+For most development work, a single RTX 4090 or A40 is sufficient and cost-effective. Use A100/H100 when you need to reproduce training results at scale or test multi-GPU features.

+# Porting Eval Metrics into `fastvideo.eval`
+
+This guide is for contributors adding new evaluation metrics to
+FastVideo's eval suite. To run the existing metrics, see
+[`fastvideo/eval/README.md`](../../fastvideo/eval/README.md).
+
+## When to use this guide
+
+Use this guide when you are:
+
+- Adding a new metric (native or wrapping a third-party library).
+- Porting a benchmark (e.g. VBench, MIND, EvalCrafter) whose Python
+  code needs to be importable from a pinned upstream.
+- Adding a new metric group (audio, vlm, etc.).
+
+## TL;DR
+
+Metrics are auto-discovered from
+`fastvideo/eval/metrics/<group>/<name>/metric.py`. Each declares itself
+with `@register("<group>.<name>")` and subclasses `BaseMetric`. Three
+recipes:
+
+1. **Native metric** (pure-PyTorch, no submodule). Drop a file,
+   declare deps, implement `compute(sample)`.
+2. **Library-wrapped metric** (CLIP, torch.hub, transformers, pyiqa).
+   Same as above, plus route the library's cache through
+   `get_cache_dir()` if it has a `download_root=` / `cache_dir=`
+   kwarg.
+3. **Upstream-submodule-wrapped metric** (vbench-style). Pin upstream
+   as a git submodule under `fastvideo/third_party/eval/<bench>/`. The
+   adapter `__init__.py` does the `sys.path` insert and any runtime
+   compat shims for modern dep versions. Patches live as Python in
+   that file rather than as on-disk patches to the submodule.
+
+The full recipes are below.
+
+---
+
+## 0) Layout and auto-discovery
+
+```
+fastvideo/eval/metrics/
+├── base.py                  # BaseMetric + lifecycle contract
+├── common/                  # group: SSIM, PSNR, LPIPS
+├── optical_flow/            # group: gt_optical_flow, synthetic_optical_flow
+├── vlm/                     # group: VideoScore-2

+    ├── _grit_helper.py      # shared upstream-touching helpers
+    └── <sub_metric>/metric.py
+```
+
+Auto-discovery (`fastvideo/eval/metrics/__init__.py`) walks each group
+dir and imports every `metric.py` it finds, which fires the
+`@register` decorators. Names starting with `_` are skipped. Use that
+prefix for shared helpers or vendored code that should not register
+itself.
+
+---
+
+## 1) The `BaseMetric` contract
+
+Every metric subclasses `fastvideo.eval.metrics.base.BaseMetric` and
+declares:
+
+```python
+class YourMetric(BaseMetric):
+    name: str = "common.your_metric"          # must match @register
+    requires_reference: bool = True           # needs sample["reference"]
+    higher_is_better: bool = True             # for ranking / aggregates
+    dependencies: list[str] = []              # importable module names;
+                                              # registry surfaces a clean
+                                              # ImportError if missing
+    needs_gpu: bool = False
+    backbone: str | None = None               # e.g. "clip_vit_l14"
+```
+
+You must implement:
+
+```python
+def compute(self, sample: dict) -> list[MetricResult]:
+    """sample['video'] is (1, T, C, H, W). Return a one-element list.
+
+    The leading 1 is preserved for forward-compat with batched eval;
+    today :class:`EvalWorker` always invokes metrics with B=1.
+    """
+```
+
+You may override:
+
+- `setup(self) -> None`. Eager model loading. Called once by
+  `create_evaluator`. Idempotent (re-entrant). Use the `if self._model
+  is not None: return` pattern.
+- `to(self, device)`. Move the metric and its submodels to `device`.
+
+If a required input is missing (e.g. an fps-aware metric called
+without `fps`), return `self._skip(sample, reason)` instead of
+raising.
+
+---
+
+## 2) Recipe A: native metric (no external deps)
+
+Smallest case. Pixel math, simple closed-form.
+
+```python
+# fastvideo/eval/metrics/common/your_metric/metric.py
+from __future__ import annotations
+import torch
+from fastvideo.eval.metrics.base import BaseMetric
+from fastvideo.eval.registry import register
+from fastvideo.eval.types import MetricResult
+
+
+@register("common.your_metric")
+class YourMetric(BaseMetric):
+    name = "common.your_metric"
+    requires_reference = True
+    higher_is_better = True
+    needs_gpu = False
+    dependencies: list[str] = []  # nothing extra
+
+    def compute(self, sample: dict) -> list[MetricResult]:
+        gen, ref = sample["video"], sample["reference"]   # (B,T,C,H,W) each
+        per_video = ((gen - ref) ** 2).mean(dim=(1, 2, 3, 4)).sqrt()
+        return [
+            MetricResult(name=self.name, score=float(s), details={})
+            for s in per_video
+        ]
+```
+
+That is the whole recipe. Drop the file and the registry picks it up.
+
+---
+
+## 3) Recipe B: library-wrapped metric (CLIP, torch.hub, transformers, pyiqa)
+
+If your metric loads a backbone from a Python package, route the
+library at the eval cache so users get one knob (`FASTVIDEO_EVAL_CACHE`)
+to redirect everything.
+
+### Cache routing rules
+
+| Library | How to route | Location after redirect |
+|---|---|---|
+| `clip.load("ViT-X")` | pass `download_root=str(get_cache_dir() / "clip")` | `${FASTVIDEO_EVAL_CACHE}/clip/` |
+| `torch.hub.load(...)` | nothing; `TORCH_HOME` is redirected at `fastvideo.eval` import time | `${FASTVIDEO_EVAL_CACHE}/torch/hub/` |
+| `transformers.from_pretrained(...)` | nothing; leave HF's default cache (`~/.cache/huggingface/hub/`) so users dedupe with other ML projects | `~/.cache/huggingface/hub/` |
+| `huggingface_hub.snapshot_download` / `hf_hub_download` | use `ensure_checkpoint(...)` (it wraps these with filelock) | same as above |
+| `pyiqa.create_metric(...)` | no env var or kwarg honored; document in metric docstring | pyiqa-internal |
+| `lpips`, `ptlflow` | torch.hub-based, auto-redirected | `${FASTVIDEO_EVAL_CACHE}/torch/hub/` |
+| Raw URL (no HF Hub) | use `ensure_checkpoint(name, source="https://...")` | `${FASTVIDEO_EVAL_CACHE}/models/<name>` |
+| Dataset asset (raw video/mask/image) auto-fetched from a public bucket | download into `get_cache_dir() / "datasets" / "<bench>"`, mirroring upstream's relative layout. Vendor any small manifest (CSV/JSON ≤1 MB) under the metric folder so the dataset can be used without external setup. | `${FASTVIDEO_EVAL_CACHE}/datasets/<bench>/` |
+
+### Dataset assets: vendor the manifest, auto-fetch the rest
+
+If your metric ships with its own paired-reference dataset (Physics-IQ
+is the canonical example), follow this layout:
+
+- **Manifest** (CSV/JSON ≤1 MB): vendor it under
+  `fastvideo/eval/metrics/<bench>/_vendored/<manifest>.<ext>`, with a
+  sibling `_vendored/LICENSE` recording attribution and provenance.
+  The `_vendored/` subdir is the project-wide convention for
+  upstream-provenance files: it is auto-skipped by metric discovery
+  (the `_` prefix) and by codespell (one `*/_vendored/*` glob in
+  `[tool.codespell].skip`), so dropping in a new vendored file
+  requires no further config. Read the manifest from the dataset
+  module via a `Path(__file__)`-relative resolver. Mirror
+  `_VENDORED_DESCRIPTIONS_CSV` in
+  `fastvideo/eval/datasets/physics_iq.py`.
+- **Heavy assets** (videos, masks, images): do not vendor. Auto-fetch
+  on first miss into `get_cache_dir() / "datasets" / "<bench>"`,
+  mirroring upstream's relative directory layout one-for-one so a
+  pre-downloaded mirror at any path works as a drop-in
+  `dataset_root=`. Use atomic `.part` then final-rename to be safe
+  under concurrent SLURM ranks.
+- **Bucket override**: expose `FASTVIDEO_<BENCH>_BUCKET_URL` so users
+  with internal mirrors can redirect.
+- **Opt-out**: accept `auto_download: bool = True` in the dataset
+  constructor; on `False`, raise `FileNotFoundError` instead of
+  fetching. This covers air-gapped runs and CI.
+
+The end-state is `get_dataset("<bench>")` with no kwargs.
+
+### Example: CLIP backbone + LAION head
+
+```python
+# fastvideo/eval/metrics/your_group/your_metric/metric.py
+from __future__ import annotations
+import torch
+import torch.nn as nn
+from fastvideo.eval.metrics.base import BaseMetric
+from fastvideo.eval.registry import register
+from fastvideo.eval.types import MetricResult
+
+
+@register("your_group.your_metric")
+class YourMetric(BaseMetric):
+    name = "your_group.your_metric"
+    requires_reference = False
+    needs_gpu = True
+    dependencies = ["clip"]      # "openai-clip" PyPI; importable as `clip`
+
+    def __init__(self) -> None:
+        super().__init__()
+        self._clip = None
+        self._head = None
+
+    def setup(self) -> None:
+        if self._clip is not None:
+            return
+        import clip
+        from fastvideo.eval.models import ensure_checkpoint, get_cache_dir
+
+        # Backbone: route CLIP's cache through our root.
+        self._clip, _ = clip.load(
+            "ViT-L/14",
+            device=self.device,
+            download_root=str(get_cache_dir() / "clip"),
+        )
+        self._clip.eval()
+
+        # URL-fetched head: ensure_checkpoint downloads to
+        # ${FASTVIDEO_EVAL_CACHE}/models/ with filelock + atomic rename.
+        ckpt = ensure_checkpoint(
+            "your_head.pth",
+            source="https://example.com/path/to/your_head.pth",
+        )
+        self._head = nn.Linear(768, 1)
+        self._head.load_state_dict(
+            torch.load(ckpt, map_location="cpu", weights_only=True)
+        )
+        self._head.to(self.device).eval()
+
+    def to(self, device):
+        super().to(device)
+        if self._clip is not None:
+            self._clip = self._clip.to(self.device)
+        if self._head is not None:
+            self._head = self._head.to(self.device)
+        return self
+
+    def compute(self, sample: dict) -> list[MetricResult]:
+        ...
+```
+
+### Do not redirect other `~/.cache/...` dirs
+
+If a third-party library hard-codes `~/.cache/<lib>/` and offers no
+override, document the exception in the metric's docstring. Forcing
+redirection by setting `os.environ` or patching `os.path.expanduser`
+is fragile and breaks user expectations of where the library's cache
+lives.
+
+---
+
+## 4) Recipe C: upstream-submodule-wrapped metric (vbench pattern)
+
+Use this when the upstream benchmark ships Python code (`vbench/`,
+`MIND/`, etc.) that is not pip-installable cleanly. See
+`fastvideo/eval/metrics/vbench/__init__.py` for the worked example.
+
+### 4.1 Pin the upstream as a submodule
+
+```bash
+git submodule add <upstream-url> fastvideo/third_party/eval/<bench>
+cd fastvideo/third_party/eval/<bench>
+git checkout <pinned-sha>
+cd -
+git add .gitmodules fastvideo/third_party/eval/<bench>
+```
+
+The submodule pulls under the standard `git submodule update --init
+--recursive` flow that users already run for kernel deps.
+
+### 4.2 Bootstrap on `sys.path`
+
+```python
+# fastvideo/eval/metrics/<bench>/__init__.py
+from __future__ import annotations
+import sys
+from pathlib import Path
+
+# fastvideo/eval/metrics/<bench>/__init__.py → ../../../../third_party/eval/<bench>
+_UPSTREAM = Path(__file__).resolve().parents[3] / "third_party" / "eval" / "<bench>"
+if _UPSTREAM.is_dir() and str(_UPSTREAM) not in sys.path:
+    sys.path.insert(0, str(_UPSTREAM))
+```
+
+We do not `pip install` the upstream because its egg-link/.pth would
+just re-do this `sys.path.insert`, and skipping the install also skips
+the upstream's `setup.py` (which often gates on a specific CUDA
+version).
+
+### 4.3 Modern-dep compat: runtime shims
+
+Upstream code pinned to e.g. `transformers==4.33.2`, `numpy<2`
+typically breaks against modern versions in 3-4 known places (API
+renames). Fix those at import time, in the same `__init__.py`:
+
+```python
+def _install_compat_shims() -> None:
+    # Example: transformers.modeling_utils API moved.
+    try:
+        import transformers.modeling_utils as _mu
+        import transformers.pytorch_utils as _pu
+        for _n in ("apply_chunking_to_forward",
+                   "find_pruneable_heads_and_indices",
+                   "prune_linear_layer"):
+            if not hasattr(_mu, _n) and hasattr(_pu, _n):
+                setattr(_mu, _n, getattr(_pu, _n))
+    except ImportError:
+        pass
+
+    # Example: numpy.lib.function_base.disp removed in numpy>=2.
+    try:
+        import types, numpy.lib as _nl
+        if not hasattr(_nl, "function_base"):
+            _stub = types.ModuleType("numpy.lib.function_base")
+            _stub.disp = lambda *a, **k: None
+            sys.modules["numpy.lib.function_base"] = _stub
+            _nl.function_base = _stub
+    except ImportError:
+        pass
+
+_install_compat_shims()
+```
+
+For function-level patches that cannot be expressed as attribute
+writes (e.g. wrapping a model factory function), use a
+`sys.meta_path` finder that wraps the loader. See
+`_install_modeling_finetune_hook()` in
+`fastvideo/eval/metrics/vbench/__init__.py` for the pattern (about 30
+lines).
+
+Why shims rather than `git apply` patches: patches go stale when the
+upstream SHA changes; shims are versioned Python code in our repo,
+they are grep-able, and they only run if the targeted module is
+imported.
+
+### 4.4 Per-sub-metric files
+
+Each sub-metric is a normal `BaseMetric` subclass that imports from
+the upstream:
+
+```python
+# fastvideo/eval/metrics/<bench>/<sub>/metric.py
+from fastvideo.eval.metrics.base import BaseMetric
+from fastvideo.eval.registry import register
+from fastvideo.eval.types import MetricResult
+
+
+@register("<bench>.<sub>")
+class YourSubMetric(BaseMetric):
+    ...
+
+    def setup(self) -> None:
+        if self._model is not None:
+            return
+        # The sys.path bootstrap fired when fastvideo.eval.metrics.<bench>
+        # was imported (which auto-discovery does before importing this
+        # sub-package). Upstream imports just work:
+        from <bench>.something import SomeModel
+        ...
+```
+
+### 4.5 Conditional registration when the upstream is missing
+
+If a user installed `fastvideo[eval]` but did not run `git submodule
+update --init`, `<bench>.*` metrics should not register. The
+auto-discovery walker imports each sub-package's `metric` module; have
+that import bail out cleanly:
+
+```python
+# fastvideo/eval/metrics/<bench>/__init__.py — at the bottom
+_AVAILABLE = (_UPSTREAM / "<bench>" / "__init__.py").is_file()
+```
+
+```python

+
+`fastvideo eval list` then reflects what the user actually has rather
+than what they could have.
+
+### 4.6 Leave the upstream alone unless it blocks the metric
+
+The upstream is pinned. If a metric works against the pinned SHA,
+leave the upstream files untouched. If it actively breaks against
+modern deps (the import-drift cases above), shim it. Avoid
+fastvideo-side forks of upstream code; they make patches go stale and
+parity drift.
+
+---
+
+## 5) Model checkpoints: `ensure_checkpoint`
+
+Use `ensure_checkpoint(name, source, filename=None)` for any
+non-package weights. It resolves a local path, downloading on miss,
+with filelock safety across processes and SLURM ranks.
+
+| `source` form | What happens |
+|---|---|
+| `"/abs/path/to/file.pth"` | passthrough, returned unchanged |
+| `"https://..."` | downloaded to `${FASTVIDEO_EVAL_CACHE}/models/<name>` via `huggingface_hub.http_get`, atomic rename, filelock |
+| `"org/repo"` (no `filename`) | `snapshot_download(repo_id)` → `~/.cache/huggingface/hub/` |
+| `"org/repo"` (with `filename`) | `hf_hub_download(repo_id, filename)` → `~/.cache/huggingface/hub/` |
+
+`name` is only used as the local filename for URL sources. HF sources
+ignore it (HF manages its own cache key by content hash).
+
+```python
+from fastvideo.eval.models import ensure_checkpoint
+
+# URL: name matters
+ckpt = ensure_checkpoint(
+    "amt-s.pth",
+    source="https://huggingface.co/lalala125/AMT/resolve/main/amt-s.pth",
+)
+
+# HF single file: name is decorative
+ckpt = ensure_checkpoint(
+    "raft-things.pth",                      # ignored; HF cache uses repo+sha
+    source="OpenGVLab/VBench_Used_Models",
+    filename="raft-things.pth",
+)
+```
+
+---
+
+## 6) Declaring `dependencies`
+
+Set `dependencies = ["pkg1", "pkg2"]` on your metric class with
+importable module names (not PyPI distribution names). The registry
+checks each via `importlib.util.find_spec` at instantiation time and
+raises a clean `ImportError` pointing the user at the right install
+extra:
+
+```python
+class YourMetric(BaseMetric):
+    dependencies = ["clip", "timm"]   # importable as `import clip`, `import timm`
+```
+
+If a dep is in `[project.optional-dependencies.eval-<group>]`, you do
+not need to do anything more. If it is a new dep, add it to that
+group in `pyproject.toml`.
+
+---
+
+## 7) Common gotchas
+
+- The standard `git submodule update --init --recursive` is enough
+  for a benchmark; do not write a `setup.sh`. Modern-dep compat goes
+  into your `__init__.py` as runtime shims.
+- Do not modify upstream files on disk. The submodule should always
+  match its pinned SHA. Compat lives in our `__init__.py`.
+- Do not pip-install the upstream. The egg-link is a glorified
+  `sys.path.insert`, which we do directly in `__init__.py`.
+- Do not call `torch.hub.set_dir(...)` from your metric. It is done
+  globally in `fastvideo/eval/__init__.py`.
+- Do not put cache-redirection env vars in your metric's `setup()`.
+  By the time `setup()` runs, the library has likely already cached
+  the default-location decision. Set env vars at package-init time.
+- Skip rather than raise when an input is missing. Use
+  `self._skip(sample, reason)` for any expected-missing input. It
+  returns a list of `MetricResult(score=None)` so other metrics in
+  the same evaluator continue.
+- Watch for upstream re-registration conflicts. If the upstream uses
+  a global registry (detectron2's `META_ARCH_REGISTRY`, MMCV, etc.),
+  loading the same model twice in the same process will throw. The
+  evaluator already loads each metric once; if you write a custom
+  setup-then-call pattern, mirror that single-load discipline.
+
+---
+
+## 8) Training-time eval: keep evaluators hot, free caches between calls
+
+When wiring eval into a training loop, the working pattern is:
+
+1. Construct the `Evaluator` once and attach it to the pipeline
+   (`self._eval = create_evaluator(...)`). Do not recreate it per
+   validation round; that re-pays the model load cost.
+2. Save validation videos to disk (the diffusion path already does
+   this). Pass paths to `evaluator.evaluate`, not in-memory tensors
+   that share GPU memory with the training model.
+3. Run validation only on rank 0 of each sequence-parallel group.
+   Gather paths from other ranks and let rank 0 score everything.
+4. After every `evaluate(...)` call, call
+   `evaluator.release_cuda_memory()` in a `finally` block. That runs
+   `gc.collect()` + `torch.cuda.empty_cache()` +
+   `torch.cuda.ipc_collect()`. The eval model stays loaded; only
+   transient activation buffers from the just-finished call get
+   freed:
+
+   ```python
+   for video_path in batch:
+       try:
+           scores = self._eval.evaluate(video=load_video(video_path))
+       finally:
+           self._eval.release_cuda_memory()
+   ```
+
+5. If memory pressure spikes (rare on H200), call
+   `evaluator.unload()` to drop every metric reference and let the
+   GPU memory be GC'd. `unload` is reversible:
+   `evaluator.reload()` rebuilds the same metrics with the original
+   config (re-paying the model load cost). Calling `evaluate`
+   between `unload` and `reload` raises a clear `RuntimeError`.
+
+For most metrics (sub-1 GB backbones, e.g. CLIP/DINO/RAFT/AMT) the
+eval model can stay co-resident with the training model in
+`transformer.eval()` mode without any swap. For larger ones
+(VideoScore2 at 14 GB), measure first; if it fits on the rank-0 GPU
+during validation (training model in eval mode means no
+grads/optimizer updates), keep it hot. If not, `unload` between
+rounds.
+
+## 9) Local verification
+
+Native and library-wrapped metrics: a single-GPU smoke is enough.
+
+```python
+import torch
+from fastvideo.eval import create_evaluator
+
+ev = create_evaluator(metrics=["<group>.<your_metric>"], device="cuda")
+video = torch.randn(1, 49, 3, 256, 256, device="cuda").clamp(0, 1)
+print(ev.evaluate(video=video))
+```
+
+Submodule-wrapped metrics: also do a parity check against the
+upstream once. Clone upstream into a separate venv, run the same
+video through both, and expect an exact match on bit-deterministic
+metrics and ≤1% drift on backbone-heavy ones (driven by
+transformers/torch version differences).
+
+For quick parity in CI: pin a tiny test video, record expected
+scores ± tolerance, and add a calibration test under
+`fastvideo/tests/eval/`.
+
+---
+
+## 10) When not to add a metric
+
+- **Set-vs-set distribution metrics** (FVD, FID-style) do not fit
+  `BaseMetric.compute(sample)` cleanly; they need a population.
+  Adding them requires a stateful accumulator interface that does
+  not exist yet. Open an issue first.
+- **Metrics requiring a single-GPU model larger than available
+  memory.** Eval is not the place for tensor-parallel sharding;
+  metrics are expected to fit on one GPU.
+- **Metrics that need `mmcv` with a conflicting CUDA ABI.** Document
+  the affected sub-metrics as unsupported and skip them. Building
+  isolation infrastructure (subprocess engine, per-metric venv) is
+  out of scope.

+# Contributing via Pull Requests
+
+This guide walks through the PR workflow: title format, labels, CI pipeline, and getting
+your changes merged.
+
+---
+
+## PR Title Format (Required)
+
+Every PR targeting `main` must start with a type tag in square brackets. This is checked by
+Mergify before any merge is allowed.
+
+**Format:**
+
+```
+[type] Short description of the change
+```
+
+**Valid type tags:**
+
+| Tag | When to use |
+|-----|-------------|
+| `[feat]` or `[feature]` | New feature or capability |
+| `[bugfix]` or `[fix]` | Bug fix |
+| `[refactor]` | Code restructuring with no behavior change |
+| `[perf]` | Performance improvement |
+| `[ci]` | CI/CD or build tooling changes |
+| `[doc]` or `[docs]` | Documentation only |
+| `[misc]` or `[chore]` | Housekeeping, dependency bumps, minor cleanup |
+| `[kernel]` | CUDA kernel changes in `fastvideo-kernel/` |
+| `[new-model]` | Adding a new model or pipeline |
+
+**Examples:**
+
+```
+[feat] Add causal Wan 2.2 I2V pipeline
+[bugfix] Fix VAE temporal tiling corruption on H100
+[refactor] Restructure distributed attention dispatch
+[docs] Add LoRA finetuning guide
+[new-model] Port HunyuanVideo 1.5 to FastVideo
+```
+
+If your title is missing the tag, Mergify will post a comment listing the valid formats.
+Update the title and the check will re-evaluate automatically.
+
+---
+
+## Labels
+
+Labels are applied automatically based on your PR title and the files you changed. You don't
+need to set them manually.
+
+**Type label** — set from the `[tag]` in your title:
+`type: feat`, `type: bugfix`, `type: refactor`, `type: perf`, `type: ci`, `type: docs`,
+`type: misc`, `type: new-model`
+
+**Scope labels** — set from which files you modified (multiple labels can apply):
+`scope: training`, `scope: inference`, `scope: attention`, `scope: kernel`, `scope: data`,
+`scope: infra`, `scope: distributed`, `scope: docs`, `scope: ui`, `scope: model`
+
+**Process labels** — set during review and merge:
+
+| Label | Who sets it | Meaning |
+|-------|-------------|---------|
+| `ready` | You (`/merge` comment) or a maintainer | Triggers Full Suite and enables auto-merge |
+| `needs-rebase` | Mergify (automatic) | Your PR has conflicts; rebase against `main` |
+| `do-not-merge` | Maintainer | Blocks merge regardless of CI status |
+
+---
+
+## CI Pipeline
+
+Three tiers run automatically on every PR.
+
+**Tier 1: Pre-commit (~2 min) — runs on every push**
+
+GitHub Actions checks formatting, linting, type correctness, and spelling using pre-commit
+hooks: yapf, ruff, mypy, codespell, pymarkdown, actionlint, and check-filenames.
+
+**Tier 2: Fastcheck (~10-20 min) — runs on every push, path-filtered**
+
+Buildkite runs GPU tests only for the components you changed. If you only modified
+`fastvideo/models/vaes/`, only VAE Tests run. Tests run in parallel.
+
+**Tier 3: Full Suite (~60-90 min) — triggered by the `ready` label**
+
+When you comment `/merge` (or a maintainer adds the `ready` label), Buildkite runs the
+complete test suite on your PR branch: SSIM regression, LoRA inference and training,
+distillation, self-forcing, VSA, VMoBA, performance benchmarks, and API server tests.
+
+---
+
+## Getting Your PR Merged
+
+**Step-by-step:**
+
+1. Open a PR with a title that starts with a valid `[type]` tag.
+2. Push your changes. Pre-commit and Fastcheck run automatically.
+3. Fix any pre-commit failures locally (`pre-commit run --all-files`) and push again.
+4. Wait for at least one approving review.
+5. Once approved and pre-commit is green, comment `/merge` on the PR.
+6. The `ready` label is added, which triggers the Full Suite on your PR branch.
+7. Mergify also auto-rebases your branch against `main` if it is behind and conflict-free.
+8. If all Full Suite tests pass and all merge conditions are met (approval, valid title,
+   pre-commit green, fastcheck green, no draft, no conflicts), Mergify squash-merges to
+   `main` automatically. Your branch is deleted.
+9. If a Full Suite test fails, check the Buildkite build log for the failing step. Fix the
+   issue, push, and comment `/merge` again. You can also re-run individual failed tests
+   with `/test <name>` — see below.
+
+!!! note
+    Only contributors with write permission to the repository can trigger slash commands.
+    If you're an external contributor, ask a maintainer to run `/merge` or add the `ready`
+    label for you.
+
+---
+
+## Running Tests On Demand
+
+Comment on your PR to trigger specific tests independently of the auto-merge flow.
+
+**Trigger the entire Full Suite:**
+
+```
+/test full
+```
+
+**Trigger the Fastcheck suite:**
+
+```
+/test fastcheck
+```
+
+**Trigger individual tests:**
+
+```

+/test vae              # VAE component tests
+/test transformer      # Transformer / DiT tests
+/test kernel           # CUDA kernel tests
+/test unit             # Unit tests
+
+/test ssim             # SSIM regression tests
+/test training         # Training pipeline tests
+/test lora-inference   # LoRA inference tests
+/test lora-training    # LoRA training tests
+/test distillation     # DMD distillation tests
+/test self-forcing     # Self-Forcing distillation tests
+/test vsa              # VSA training tests
+/test vmoba            # VMoBA inference tests
+/test performance      # Performance benchmarks
+/test api              # API server integration tests
+/test pre-commit       # Pre-commit checks on PR code
+```
+
+The workflow reacts with a 🚀 emoji to confirm the command was received.
+
+When you re-run an individual test with `/test <name>`, the new result overwrites the
+original failed check (same Buildkite check name). Once all tests in a tier pass, the
+`fastcheck-passed` or `full-suite-passed` status is automatically updated.
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Pre-commit fails
+
+Run locally to reproduce and auto-fix:
+
+```bash
+# Install pre-commit if needed
+uv pip install pre-commit
+pre-commit install
+
+# Run all checks on all files
+pre-commit run --all-files
+```
+
+Common quick fixes:
+
+- **yapf**: `yapf -i <file>` (Python formatting)
+- **ruff**: `ruff check --fix <file>` (linting)
+- **codespell**: `codespell --write-changes <file>` (spelling)
+
+### PR title format check fails
+
+Update your title to start with a valid type tag. The Mergify merge protection check
+re-evaluates automatically after you save the title.
+
+Valid tags: `feat`, `feature`, `bugfix`, `fix`, `refactor`, `perf`, `ci`, `doc`, `docs`,
+`misc`, `chore`, `kernel`, `new-model`
+
+### My PR has merge conflicts (`needs-rebase` label)
+
+Rebase against `main` and force-push:
+
+```bash
+git fetch origin main
+git rebase origin/main
+# Resolve any conflicts, then:
+git push --force-with-lease
+```
+
+Mergify removes the `needs-rebase` label automatically once conflicts are resolved.
+
+### Full Suite failed after `/merge`
+
+The Full Suite found a regression. Check the failing Buildkite step's output for assertion
+errors or tracebacks.
+
+Common causes:
+
+- Test failures caused by your code changes
+- Missing dependency in `pyproject.toml`
+- GPU memory issue (some tests require specific hardware like L40S or H100)
+- Kernel build failure (if you changed `fastvideo-kernel/`)
+
+After fixing, push and comment `/merge` again.
+
+### I'm an external contributor without write permission
+
+You can't use slash commands directly. After your PR is approved, ask a maintainer to
+comment `/merge` or add the `ready` label.

+# Streaming WebSocket Server Contract
+
+The streaming server (`fastvideo/entrypoints/streaming/server.py`) speaks
+a JSON-over-WebSocket protocol with binary fMP4 chunks for media. This
+document is the authoritative spec for the message catalogue and the
+session state machine. Any change to either must update this document
+in the same PR that touches `protocol.py` or `session.py`.
+
+## Endpoint
+
+| Path | Protocol | Purpose |
+|---|---|---|
+| `WS /v1/stream` | WebSocket (JSON + binary) | Per-session realtime streaming |
+| `GET /health` | HTTP | Liveness probe (`status`, `stream_mode`, active `sessions`) |
+
+The server is launched by `fastvideo serve --config <serve.yaml>` when
+the config carries a `streaming:` block. Without that block the same CLI
+launches the OpenAI stateless HTTP server instead.
+
+## Connection lifecycle
+
+Every WebSocket connection holds exactly one `Session`. Sessions move
+through the states in `SessionState` (`fastvideo/entrypoints/streaming/session.py`).
+
+```
+                    ┌──────────────┐
+                    │ INITIALIZING │  ← WebSocket accepted, before init frame

+                       ┌────────┐         │

+        (clean leave)  (any failure)  (idle / segment_cap reached)
+```
+
+Terminal states (`COMPLETE`, `ERROR`, `TIMEOUT`, `REJECTED`) are sinks —
+no transitions out. The transition matrix is enforced in
+`session.py::_VALID_TRANSITIONS`; bad transitions raise.
+
+`SessionManager` enforces the per-process budgets pulled from
+`StreamingConfig`:
+
+- `session_timeout_seconds` — idle reaper drops sessions that haven't
+  advanced; non-terminal sessions transition to `TIMEOUT`.
+- `generation_segment_cap` — a session that hits the cap transitions to
+  `COMPLETE` after the last segment ships.
+
+## Message catalogue
+
+Every JSON frame carries `{"type": <str>, ...}`. Pydantic models in
+`protocol.py` are the source of truth; this table is the human-readable
+view.
+
+### Client → server
+
+| `type` | Required fields | Purpose |
+|---|---|---|
+| `session_init_v2` | — | Opening frame. Carries preset, curated prompts, optional initial image, feature toggles, optional `continuation_state` to resume from a snapshot. |
+| `segment_prompt_source` | `prompt` | Request the next segment using the supplied prompt; optional sampling overrides (`seed`, `num_inference_steps`, `guidance_scale`, `negative_prompt`). |
+| `seed_prompts_updated` | `seed_prompts` | Replace the session's seed-prompt list; takes effect on the next segment. |
+| `enhancement_updated` | `enabled` | Toggle prompt enhancement for subsequent segments. |
+| `auto_extension_updated` | `enabled` | Toggle automatic per-segment prompt extension. |
+| `loop_generation_updated` | `enabled` | Toggle loop-generation mode. |
+| `generation_paused_updated` | `paused` | Pause/resume segment generation; queued requests defer. |
+| `snapshot_state` | — | Request the current `ContinuationState` for export; server replies with `continuation_state_snapshot`. |
+
+The opening frame must be `session_init_v2`. Any other first frame is
+rejected with an `error` (code `invalid_message`) and the WebSocket is
+closed.
+
+### Server → client
+
+| `type` | Carries | When emitted |
+|---|---|---|
+| `queue_status` | `position`, `queue_depth` | After `session_init_v2` accepted, before GPU binding. |
+| `gpu_assigned` | GPU id, model id | Once a generator slot is bound. |
+| `ltx2_stream_start` | session-level metadata | Once the session enters `ACTIVE`. |
+| `ltx2_segment_start` | `segment_idx`, `prompt`, prompt source | When a `segment_prompt_source` request begins generation. |
+| `step_complete` | `segment_idx`, denoise timings | After the segment's denoising loop finishes (before media emission). |
+| `media_init` | `segment_idx`, mime, stream id | First frame of fMP4 output for the segment. |
+| binary frame | fMP4 fragment bytes | Subsequent media chunks; the protocol enforces that `media_init` precedes any binary frames. |
+| `media_segment_complete` | `segment_idx`, chunk count, byte count | Last media chunk for the segment. |
+| `ltx2_segment_complete` | `segment_idx`, segment summary | Segment fully shipped; ready for the next `segment_prompt_source`. |
+| `ltx2_stream_complete` | session summary | Session reached `generation_segment_cap` or client requested clean shutdown. |
+| `session_timeout` | reason | Session hit `session_timeout_seconds`; immediately followed by close. |
+| `continuation_state_snapshot` | `kind`, `payload` | Reply to `snapshot_state`. The payload is the same shape produced by `LTX2ContinuationState.to_continuation_state(...)`. |
+| `error` | `code`, `message` | Any validation/runtime error. Non-fatal errors keep the connection open; fatal errors precede a `close`. |
+
+## Continuation state
+
+The session optionally accepts a `continuation_state` dict inside the
+opening `session_init_v2` frame. When present, the server hydrates it
+into a `ContinuationState(kind, payload)` envelope and feeds it as the
+`request.state` on the first segment's `GenerationRequest` — letting a
+client resume after a disconnect, migrate sessions across processes,
+or replay a prior session.
+
+After every segment, if the runtime returns a fresh state, the server
+persists it to the `SessionStore` so a `snapshot_state` request can
+export it. The store and serialization contracts live with the model
+family (e.g. `fastvideo/pipelines/basic/ltx2/continuation.py` for LTX-2).

+- Adding a new client message: append a Pydantic model to `protocol.py`
+  with a unique `type`; add the discriminator entry to `ClientMessage`;
+  add a row to the table above. Old clients that don't send the new
+  message remain compatible.
+- Adding a new server message: emit only when a new feature flag is
+  enabled (or always emit, since clients ignore unknown types).
+- Changing an existing message: bump the `type` (e.g. `session_init_v2`
+  → `session_init_v3`) and accept both for one release cycle. Never
+  silently change field semantics under the same `type`.

 # FastVideo CLI Inference

-The FastVideo CLI exposes the same core inference controls as the Python API.
+The FastVideo CLI is config-first. Inference runs are driven by a nested JSON or
+YAML config, with optional dotted-path overrides on the command line. The
+contract matches training: use an explicit subcommand plus `--config`, then add
+any dotted overrides you need.

 ## Basic Usage

-Use either:
-
-1. `--model-path` + `--prompt`
-2. `--model-path` + `--prompt-txt` (batch prompts, one line per prompt)
-3. `--config` (JSON/YAML)
-
 ```bash
-fastvideo generate --model-path Wan-AI/Wan2.1-T2V-1.3B-Diffusers \
-  --prompt "A cat playing with a ball of yarn"
+fastvideo generate --config config.yaml
+fastvideo serve --config serve.yaml
 ```

-```bash
-fastvideo generate --model-path Wan-AI/Wan2.1-T2V-1.3B-Diffusers \
-  --prompt-txt prompts.txt
-```
-
-You cannot provide both `--prompt` and `--prompt-txt` in the same run.

 ## View All Arguments

 ```bash
 fastvideo generate --help
 ```

-Arguments come from:
+The subcommands intentionally expose only `--config`. Any per-run CLI changes
+must use dotted override paths such as:

+# GEN3C: 3D-Informed Camera-Controlled Video Generation
+
+[GEN3C](https://arxiv.org/abs/2503.03751) is NVIDIA's Cosmos-7B-based video model for camera-controlled generation from a single image. The FastVideo integration supports the GEN3C I2V workflow, including 3D cache conditioning and tokenizer-based conditioning latents.
+
+## Key Features
+
+- **Camera trajectory control**: `left/right/up/down/zoom_in/zoom_out/clockwise/counterclockwise`
+- **3D cache conditioning**: depth prediction -> point cloud cache -> forward warping -> latent conditioning
+- **Single-image to video generation**: 121-frame generation with camera motion
+- **Official raw checkpoint conversion**: `model.pt` -> Diffusers/FastVideo layout
+
+## Model Sources
+
+- Official raw checkpoint (not Diffusers): `nvidia/GEN3C-Cosmos-7B`
+- Diffusers-format checkpoint: `FastVideo/GEN3C-Cosmos-7B-Diffusers`
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Install MoGe:
+
+```bash
+pip install git+https://github.com/microsoft/MoGe.git
+```
+
+- If you hit `ImportError: libGL.so.1` (common on Ubuntu/headless nodes), you can try installing OpenCV runtime libs:
+
+```bash
+sudo apt-get update
+sudo apt-get install -y libgl1 libglib2.0-0 libsm6 libxext6 libxrender1
+```
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Option A: Use Diffusers-format weights directly
+
+```bash
+python examples/inference/basic/basic_gen3c.py \
+  --model_path FastVideo/GEN3C-Cosmos-7B-Diffusers \
+  --image_path /path/to/input.png \
+  --prompt "" \
+  --trajectory left \
+  --movement_distance 0.3 \

+## FastVideo Defaults
+
+GEN3C defaults in FastVideo:
+
+- `height=704`, `width=1280`
+- `num_frames=121`
+- `num_inference_steps=35`
+- `guidance_scale=1.0`
+- `fps=24`
+
+These values are defined in:
+
+- `fastvideo/pipelines/basic/gen3c/profiles.py`
+- `fastvideo/configs/pipelines/gen3c.py`
+
+and align with the official GEN3C inference defaults in:
+
+- `tmp/GEN3C/cosmos_predict1/diffusion/inference/inference_utils.py`
+
+## Scheduler Note
+
+The converted GEN3C Diffusers layout may include a FlowMatch scheduler config, but GEN3C denoising uses EDM preconditioning behavior. FastVideo's GEN3C pipeline enforces an EDM scheduler at runtime for parity with official inference behavior.
+
+Implementation path:
+
+- `fastvideo/pipelines/basic/gen3c/gen3c_pipeline.py`
+
+## 3D Cache Conditioning Path
+
+FastVideo GEN3C conditioning stage performs:
+
+1. MoGe depth estimation from input image
+2. 3D cache initialization
+3. Camera trajectory generation
+4. Forward rendering of warped frames + masks
+5. VAE/tokenizer encoding of conditioning buffers
+6. Denoising with condition mask + condition pose channels
+
+Main implementation:
+
+- `fastvideo/pipelines/basic/gen3c/gen3c_pipeline.py`
+- `fastvideo/pipelines/basic/gen3c/cache_3d.py`
+- `fastvideo/pipelines/basic/gen3c/depth_estimation.py`

+### Single-node
+
+```bash
+bash examples/train/run.sh <config.yaml> [--dotted.key value ...]
+```
+
+The script auto-detects available GPUs. Override with `NUM_GPUS`:
+
+```bash
+NUM_GPUS=4 bash examples/train/run.sh \
+    examples/train/configs/fine_tuning/wan/t2v.yaml
+```
+
+### Multi-node (Slurm)
+
+```bash
+bash examples/train/run_slurm.sh <config.yaml> <num_nodes> [--dotted.key value ...]
+```
+
+```bash
+bash examples/train/run_slurm.sh \

+Slurm environment variables:
+
+| Variable | Default | Description |
+|---|---|---|
+| `PARTITION` | `main` | Slurm partition |
+| `NUM_GPUS` | `8` | GPUs per node |
+| `CPUS_PER_TASK` | `128` | CPUs per task |
+| `MEM` | `1440G` | Memory per node |
+| `EXCLUDE` | `""` | Nodes to exclude |
+
+### Overriding config values
+
+Any config field can be overridden from the command line using dotted keys:
+
+```bash
+bash examples/train/run.sh examples/train/configs/fine_tuning/wan/t2v.yaml \
+    --training.optimizer.learning_rate 1e-5 \

+### Resuming from a checkpoint
+
+```bash
+bash examples/train/run.sh examples/train/configs/fine_tuning/wan/t2v.yaml \
+    --training.checkpoint.resume_from_checkpoint outputs/my_experiment/checkpoint-500
+```
+
+## W&B Logging
+
+Training metrics and validation videos are logged to
+[Weights & Biases](https://wandb.ai). Set your API key before launching:
+
+```bash
+export WANDB_API_KEY=your_key_here
+```
+
+To disable W&B (e.g. for local debugging):
+
+```bash
+export WANDB_MODE=offline
+```
+
+The project name and run name are set in the config under `training.tracker`:
+
+```yaml
+training:
+  tracker:
+    project_name: my_project
+    run_name: my_run
