+## What to Do Next
+
+1. **Validate skills**: Run a minimal training experiment using the
+   `experiment-lifecycle` SOP to test `launch-experiment` → `monitor-experiment`
+   → `summarize-run` end-to-end.
+2. **Index first related work**: Use `index-related-work` to add at least one
+   paper (e.g., the Self-Forcing paper used in the codebase).
+3. **Capture first lesson**: After the validation run, capture any findings.
+4. **Promote to Ready**: As each skill/SOP is tested, update its status here.

+# Exploration Logs
+
+This directory holds draft procedures and investigation notes for tasks that
+don't yet have a standardized skill or SOP. Each exploration should follow this
+template.
+
+## When to Create an Exploration Log
+
+- You are working on a task with no existing skill or workflow.
+- You are experimenting with a new metric, training technique, or tool.
+- You want to document findings before they are promoted to a standard.
+
+## File Naming
+
+`<topic-slug>.md` — e.g., `fvd-metric-investigation.md`
+
+## Template
+
+```markdown
+# Exploration Log: <Topic>
+
+## Status: draft | under_review | promoted | abandoned

+## Mistakes / Dead Ends
+<What didn't work and why — these become lessons.>
+
+## Proposed Standardization
+<If this works, describe the skill/SOP/workflow to create.>
+```
+
+## Lifecycle
+
+1. **Create** during exploration mode.
+2. **Update** as you make progress.
+3. **Promote**: If findings are solid, create a skill in `.agents/skills/` or an SOP in `.agents/workflows/`.
+4. **Archive mistakes**: Move failures into `.agents/lessons/`.

+# Lessons Learned Database
+
+This directory stores documented mistakes, unexpected behaviors, and their fixes.
+Each lesson is a permanent record that helps agents and humans avoid repeating
+past errors.
+
+## When to Create a Lesson
+
+- An experiment failed for a non-obvious reason.
+- A configuration or hyperparameter choice led to wasted compute.
+- A porting, data, or infrastructure issue was discovered and resolved.
+- A workaround was needed for a known framework/library bug.

+```
+
+## Usage
+
+- Before starting a task, **search this directory** for relevant lessons.
+- After completing or failing a task, **check if a new lesson should be created**.
+- Periodically review lessons for **patterns** — recurring themes may warrant
+  a new skill, SOP, or codebase fix.

+## Implemented Metrics
+
+### FVD — Fréchet Video Distance
+
+**Category**: Distribution-level quality metric
+**Status**: ✅ Fully implemented in `benchmarks/fvd/`
+**Trust**: High — standard protocol, I3D feature extractor
+
+#### What It Measures
+FVD measures the distance between the **distribution** of generated videos and
+a distribution of real/reference videos. It works by:
+1. Extracting spatiotemporal features from both real and generated video sets
+   using a pretrained **I3D** (Inflated 3D ConvNet) model.
+2. Modeling each set of features as a multivariate Gaussian (mean + covariance).
+3. Computing the **Fréchet distance** between the two Gaussians.
+
+Lower FVD = generated videos are more statistically similar to real videos.
+
+#### Why It Matters
+- FVD is the **de facto standard** for benchmarking video generation models.
+- It captures both **visual quality** (are individual frames realistic?) and
+  **temporal coherence** (do frames flow naturally?).
+- Matrix-Game 2.0, Open-Sora, and most video generation papers report FVD.
+
+#### Limitations
+- Requires a **large sample set** (standard protocol uses 2048 videos) to
+  produce stable statistics. Small sample sizes yield noisy results.
+- Measures **distributional similarity**, not per-video quality. A model could
+  have low FVD by generating a diverse set of "roughly okay" videos.
+- The I3D model was trained on Kinetics-400 (human actions). It may be less
+  sensitive to domain-specific artifacts in non-human-action videos (e.g.,
+  driving, game environments).
+- Does not directly measure text-video alignment or action controllability.
+
+#### How to Use
+
+```python
+# Programmatic
+from benchmarks.fvd import compute_fvd_with_config, FVDConfig
+
+config = FVDConfig.fvd2048_16f()  # Standard: 2048 videos, 16 frames
+results = compute_fvd_with_config('data/real/', 'outputs/gen/', config)
+print(f"FVD: {results['fvd']:.2f}")
+```
+
+```bash
+# CLI
+python -m benchmarks.fvd.cli \
+    --real-path data/real/ \
+    --gen-path outputs/gen/ \
+    --protocol fvd2048_16f
+```
+
+**Preset protocols**:
+| Protocol | Videos | Frames | Use Case |
+|----------|--------|--------|----------|
+| `fvd2048_16f` | 2048 | 16 | Standard benchmark (papers) |
+| `fvd2048_128f` | 2048 | 128 | Long video evaluation |
+| `quick_test` | 100 | 16 | Fast dev iteration |
+
+**Feature extractors**: `i3d` (default, standard), `clip`, `videomae`
+
+#### Interpretation
+| FVD Range | Interpretation |
+|-----------|---------------|
+| < 100 | Excellent — near-real quality |
+| 100–300 | Good — competitive with SOTA |
+| 300–600 | Fair — noticeable gap from real |
+| > 600 | Poor — significant quality issues |
+
+> FVD values are dataset-dependent. Always compare against baselines evaluated
+> on the same real video distribution.
+
+---
+
+### SSIM — Structural Similarity Index
+
+**Category**: Per-frame reference comparison
+**Status**: ✅ Implemented in `fastvideo/tests/ssim/`
+**Trust**: High — used in CI regression tests
+
+#### What It Measures
+SSIM compares two images (or video frames) based on three components:
+1. **Luminance**: brightness similarity
+2. **Contrast**: dynamic range similarity
+3. **Structure**: spatial pattern similarity
+
+The final score is a value in [0, 1] where 1.0 = identical.
+
+#### Why It Matters
+- Used as a **regression guard** in CI: ensures model updates don't degrade
+  visual output below a threshold.
+- More perceptually meaningful than raw pixel MSE.
+- Fast to compute — suitable for automated testing.
+
+#### Limitations
+- Requires a **pixel-aligned reference** video. Cannot compare videos with
+  different seeds, prompts, or angles.
+- Operates **per-frame** — does not capture temporal coherence.
+- Insensitive to some perceptual artifacts (color shifts, high-frequency noise).
+
+#### How to Use
+
+```bash
+pytest fastvideo/tests/ssim/ -vs
+```
+
+#### Interpretation
+| SSIM Range | Quality |
+|------------|---------|
+| > 0.90 | Excellent — very close to reference |
+| 0.80–0.90 | Good — acceptable for most uses |
+| 0.70–0.80 | Fair — noticeable differences |
+| < 0.70 | Poor — significant divergence |
+
+---
+
+### LPIPS — Learned Perceptual Image Patch Similarity
+
+**Category**: Per-frame perceptual distance
+**Status**: ✅ Implemented in `scripts/lora_extraction/lora_inference_comparison.py`
+**Trust**: Medium — available but only used for LoRA comparison currently
+
+#### What It Measures
+LPIPS uses a pretrained neural network (AlexNet by default) to extract
+deep features from two images and computes the distance between them in
+feature space. Unlike SSIM, LPIPS correlates much more strongly with
+**human perceptual judgments**.
+
+Lower LPIPS = more perceptually similar.
+
+#### Why It Matters
+- Best available automated proxy for **human visual judgments** at the frame
+  level.
+- Captures semantic and structural differences that SSIM misses (e.g., texture
+  changes, minor recoloring).
+- Used for validating LoRA merge quality.
+
+#### Limitations
+- Per-frame metric — no temporal awareness.
+- Requires reference video (paired comparison only).
+- Slightly slower than SSIM due to neural network forward pass.
+
+#### How to Use
+
+```bash
+python scripts/lora_extraction/lora_inference_comparison.py \
+  --base merged_model \
+  --ft path/to/finetuned \
+  --adapter NONE \
+  --output-dir results \
+  --prompt "A cat" \
+  --compute-lpips
+```
+
+#### Interpretation
+| LPIPS Range | Quality |
+|-------------|---------|
+| < 0.10 | Excellent — nearly indistinguishable |
+| 0.10–0.20 | Good — minor perceptual differences |
+| 0.20–0.40 | Fair — noticeable differences |
+| > 0.40 | Poor — clearly different |
+
+---
+
+### Loss Trajectory
+
+**Category**: Training signal proxy
+**Status**: ✅ Active (from W&B `train_loss`)
+**Trust**: Medium — proxy, not direct quality measure
+
+#### What It Measures
+Tracks the training loss over time. A healthy training run shows:
+- **Decreasing loss** over the first hundreds of steps.
+- **Stable gradient norms** (no wild spikes).
+- **Consistent step times** (no infrastructure issues).
+
+#### Why It Matters
+- Cheapest evaluation signal — available in real-time from W&B.
+- Critical for the **30-minute quality check** workflow.
+- At later training stages (when loss becomes meaningful), trajectory shape
+  can predict final model quality.
+
+#### Context: How This Evolves
+The team's experience shows evaluation signals change during a project:
+- **Early stage**: Loss may be flat or meaningless → focus on SSIM & visual
+  inspection instead.
+- **Mid stage**: Loss starts decreasing → trajectory shape becomes useful.
+- **Late stage**: Loss is meaningful → can compare trajectories across runs.
+
+This dynamic is a key insight from the team's workflow: don't over-rely on
+loss early; don't ignore it late.
+
+---
+
+### Grad Norm Stability
+
+**Category**: Training health diagnostic
+**Status**: ✅ Active (from W&B `grad_norm`)
+**Trust**: Medium — diagnostic, not quality metric
+
+#### What It Measures
+The magnitude of gradients during training. Stable grad norms indicate
+healthy optimization. Spikes or NaN values indicate training instability.
+
+#### Alert Thresholds

+## External Benchmarks
+
+### GameWorld Score Benchmark (Matrix-Game)
+
+**Category**: Multi-dimensional evaluation framework for interactive world models
+**Status**: 🟡 External — not implemented in-repo
+**Source**: [Matrix-Game 1.0 benchmark](https://github.com/SkyworkAI/Matrix-Game), used in [Matrix-Game 2.0 paper](https://arxiv.org/abs/2508.13009)
+
+#### What It Measures
+A comprehensive benchmark examining **four critical capabilities**:
+
+| Dimension | What It Evaluates | Example Signals |
+|-----------|-------------------|-----------------|
+| **Visual quality** | Frame-level realism, absence of artifacts | Color fidelity, sharpness, coherence |
+| **Temporal quality** | Smoothness across frames, motion consistency | Jitter, flickering, temporal aliasing |
+| **Action controllability** | Response to input actions (keyboard/mouse) | Action delay, correctness, smoothness |
+| **Physical rule understanding** | Adherence to physics (gravity, collision) | Object persistence, plausible motion |
+
+#### Context from Matrix-Game 2.0
+- Evaluation uses **597-frame composite action sequences** over 32 Minecraft
+  scenes and 16 wild scenes.
+- Action controllability assessment is **Minecraft-specific** — cannot be
+  directly applied to wild/general scenes.
+- The paper notes that models that "collapse" to static frames can
+  paradoxically score higher on consistency metrics — beware of this confound.
+
+#### Relevance to FastVideo
+- Matrix-Game 2.0 is built on SkyReels-V2/Wan2.1 architecture — **same model
+  family as FastVideo**.
+- Their distillation uses DMD-based Self-Forcing — **same technique** as our
+  `self_forcing_distillation_pipeline.py`.
+- GameWorld Score dimensions are a useful framework for thinking about world
+  model quality even outside gaming contexts.
+
+---
+
+## Human Preference Evaluation
+
+**Category**: Gold-standard quality assessment
+**Status**: 🔴 Manual process — no automated implementation
+**Priority**: **Highest** — this is the most important evaluation signal
+**Trust**: Highest — but expensive
+
+### What It Measures
+Human evaluators compare generated videos and rate them on dimensions like:
+- Overall quality and realism
+- Temporal coherence and smoothness
+- Prompt adherence / action correctness
+- Absence of artifacts
+
+#### Why It's the Most Important Metric
+All automated metrics are **proxies** for human judgment. They can be gamed
+or may miss artifacts that humans easily notice. Human preference is the
+ultimate ground truth for video generation quality.
+
+#### Cost & Practicality
+| Approach | Cost | Scale | When to Use |
+|----------|------|-------|-------------|
+| Internal team review | Low | ~10–50 videos | Every major checkpoint |
+| Crowdsource (MTurk, Scale) | Medium | 100+ videos | Pre-release validation |
+| A/B preference test | Medium | Pairs | Comparing two model versions |
+
+#### Recommended Protocol
+1. Sample 10–20 videos from the model at a checkpoint.
+2. Include diverse prompts (easy + hard, short + long).
+3. Have 2–3 evaluators score each video 1–5 on: quality, coherence, fidelity.
+4. Record scores in the experiment journal.
+
+---
+
+## Metrics NOT Used
+
+| Metric | Reason |
+|--------|--------|
+| ~~CLIP-Score~~ | Not used by the team. Measures text-image alignment using CLIP embeddings, but not well-suited for video temporal quality. |
+| Inception Score (IS) | Less informative than FVD for video; primarily an image metric. |
+| PSNR | Pixel-level metric; less perceptually meaningful than SSIM/LPIPS. |
+
+---
+
+## Adding a New Metric
+
+Follow the SOP: `.agents/workflows/evaluation-development.md`
+
+1. Prototype in `.agents/exploration/`
+2. Validate on known-good and known-bad samples
+3. Add to this registry
+4. Update the `evaluate-video-quality` skill

+# Agent Onboarding — FastVideo-WorldModel
+
+Welcome, agent. This is the **master onboarding** guide. Follow the steps below,
+then check if a **domain-specific onboarding** exists for your task.
+
+## Domain-Specific Onboarding
+
+If your task falls into one of these areas, read the specialized guide **after**
+completing the general steps below:
+
+| Domain | Guide | When to Use |
+|--------|-------|-------------|
+| **WorldModel Training** | `worldmodel-training/README.md` | Training, finetuning, distillation, experiment management |
+
+---
+
+## Step 1: Understand the Codebase
+
+Read these files to build your context:
+
+| Priority | File | What you learn |
+|----------|------|----------------|
+| 1 | `AGENTS.md` | Coding guidelines, build/test commands, PR conventions |
+| 2 | `docs/design/overview.md` | Architecture: models, pipelines, configs, registry |
+| 3 | `fastvideo/train/` | Refactored training framework (YAML-driven, modular methods/models/callbacks) |
+| 4 | `docs/training/overview.md` | Training data flow and preprocessing |
+| 5 | `docs/training/finetune.md` | Training arguments, parallelism, LoRA, validation |
+| 6 | `docs/contributing/coding_agents.md` | How to add model pipelines with agent assistance |
+
+## Step 2: Discover Available Resources
+
+Read these two index files to see what skills and memory modules exist:
+
+- **`.agents/skills/index.jsonl`** — catalog of all agent skills (name + description)
+- **`.agents/memory/index.jsonl`** — catalog of all memory modules (name + description)
+
+Each entry has a `path` field pointing to the full content. Only load the
+full README.md for modules relevant to your current task.
+
+## Step 3: Check for Existing Skills & SOPs
+
+Before writing new code or procedures:
+
+1. **Skills**: Read `.agents/skills/index.jsonl` — find a matching skill by description.
+2. **Workflows/SOPs**: Browse `.agents/workflows/` — step-by-step procedures for common tasks.
+3. **Lessons**: Browse `.agents/lessons/` — known pitfalls and their fixes.
+
+If a skill or SOP exists for your task, **use it**. If not, you are in **exploration mode** — see Step 4.
+
+## Step 4: Exploration Mode
+
+If no existing skill/SOP covers your task:
+
+1. Document your progress in `.agents/exploration/<topic>.md` using the template in `.agents/exploration/README.md`.
+2. At the end of your session, reflect:
+   - **What worked** → propose a new skill or SOP in the exploration log.
+   - **What failed** → create a lesson in `.agents/lessons/`.
+3. Flag the exploration log for human review.

+# WorldModel Training — Agent Onboarding
+
+Specialized onboarding for agents working on FastVideo-WorldModel training,
+distillation, and evaluation. Read the master onboarding (`.agents/onboarding/README.md`)
+first, then come here.
+
+---
+
+## Domain Context
+
+FastVideo-WorldModel trains **interactive world models** — video generation systems
+that respond to user actions (keyboard/mouse) in real-time. The architecture is
+based on **Wan2.1** (SkyReels-V2) DiT models with causal attention for
+auto-regressive streaming generation.
+
+**Key techniques you will work with:**
+- Full finetuning and LoRA on Wan / LTX-2 / MatrixGame models
+- DMD-based distillation (few-step generation)
+- Self-Forcing distillation (causal streaming)
+- Diffusion-Forcing SFT (DFSFT) for causal models
+- VSA (Variable Sparsity Acceleration) for efficient training
+
+---
+
+## Training Code: Two Generations
+
+### New modular framework: `fastvideo/train/` (preferred)
+
+The refactored training code uses a **YAML-only config-driven** architecture
+with composable methods, per-role models, and a callback system. All new
+training work should use this framework.
+
+### Legacy pipelines: `fastvideo/training/` (deprecated)
+
+The old monolithic pipeline classes (`WanTrainingPipeline`,
+`DistillationPipeline`, etc.) still exist but are being phased out. The new
+framework imports select utilities from `fastvideo/training/` for backward
+compatibility (EMA, gradient clipping, checkpoint wrappers).
+
+---
+
+## Essential Reading (Training-Specific)
+
+Read these **in order** before touching any training code:
+
+| # | File | What You Learn |
+|---|------|----------------|
+| 1 | `docs/training/overview.md` | Training data flow: raw video → text embeddings + video latents → training |
+| 2 | `docs/training/finetune.md` | Training arguments, parallelism (SP/TP), LoRA, validation settings |
+| 3 | `docs/training/data_preprocess.md` | How to preprocess datasets into the expected format |
+| 4 | `docs/design/overview.md` | Architecture: models, pipelines, configs, registry |

+
+### Key Concepts
+
+**TrainingMethod** (`methods/base.py`): Abstract base class for all training
+algorithms. Owns role models (student, teacher, critic), manages checkpoint
+state, and defines the training step interface.
+
+**ModelBase** (`models/base.py`): Per-role model wrapper. Each role (student,
+teacher, critic) gets its own `ModelBase` instance owning a `transformer` and
+`noise_scheduler`. `CausalModelBase` extends this for streaming models.
+
+**Callback system** (`callbacks/`): Composable hooks for gradient clipping,
+EMA, validation, etc. Configured via YAML, dispatched by `CallbackDict`.
+
+**Config system** (`utils/config.py`, `utils/training_config.py`): YAML files
+are parsed into typed `RunConfig` dataclass trees. Models and methods use
+`_target_` fields for instantiation (similar to Hydra).
+
+### Training Flow
+
+```
+run_training_from_config(config_path)
+  → load_run_config()           # YAML → RunConfig
+  → init_distributed()          # TP/SP setup
+  → build_from_config()         # instantiate models, method, dataloader
+  → Trainer.run()               # main loop:
+      ├─ callbacks.on_train_start()
+      ├─ checkpoint_manager.maybe_resume()
+      ├─ for step in range(max_steps):
+      │    ├─ method.single_train_step(batch)
+      │    ├─ method.backward()
+      │    ├─ callbacks.on_before_optimizer_step()
+      │    ├─ method.optimizers_schedulers_step()
+      │    ├─ tracker.log(metrics, step)
+      │    ├─ callbacks.on_training_step_end()
+      │    └─ checkpoint_manager.maybe_save(step)
+      ├─ callbacks.on_train_end()
+      └─ checkpoint_manager.save_final()
+```
+
+### Training Methods
+
+| Method | Class | Use Case |
+|--------|-------|----------|
+| **FineTune** | `FineTuneMethod` | Single-role supervised finetuning |
+| **DFSFT** | `DiffusionForcingSFTMethod` | Diffusion-forcing SFT with inhomogeneous timesteps |
+| **DMD2** | `DMD2Method` | Multi-role distribution matching distillation (student + teacher + critic) |
+| **Self-Forcing** | `SelfForcingMethod` | Extends DMD2 for causal student rollouts |
+
+### Launching Training (New Framework)
+
+Training is launched via `torchrun` with a single YAML config:
+
+```bash
+torchrun --nproc_per_node <N_GPUS> \
+  -m fastvideo.train.entrypoint.train \
+  --config examples/train/<config>.yaml
+```
+
+### Example YAML Configs
+
+| Config | Method | Description |
+|--------|--------|-------------|
+| `examples/train/finetune_wan2.1_t2v_1.3B_vsa_phase3.4_0.9sparsity.yaml` | FineTune | Wan 1.3B finetuning with VSA sparsity |
+| `examples/train/distill_wan2.1_t2v_1.3B_dmd2.yaml` | DMD2 | Wan 1.3B distillation (student + teacher + critic) |
+| `examples/train/dfsft_wan_causal_t2v_1.3B.yaml` | DFSFT | Causal Wan 1.3B diffusion-forcing SFT |
+| `examples/train/self_forcing_wan_causal_t2v_1.3B.yaml` | Self-Forcing | Causal streaming distillation |
+
+### Checkpointing (New Framework)
+
+**CheckpointManager** (`utils/checkpoint.py`) saves via `torch.distributed.checkpoint`:
+
+```
+output_dir/
+└─ checkpoint-{step}/
+   ├─ dcp/                    # DCP state dict
+   ├─ config.json             # resolved training config
+   └─ .fastvideo_metadata.json
+```
+
+Checkpoint state includes: role model weights, per-role optimizers/schedulers,
+CUDA RNG state, and callback state (e.g., EMA shadow weights).
+
+### Config Structure
+
+A YAML config defines the full training pipeline:
+
+```yaml
+models:
+  student:
+    _target_: fastvideo.train.models.wan.WanModel
+    model_path: ...
+    trainable: true
+  teacher:  # optional, for distillation
+    _target_: fastvideo.train.models.wan.WanModel
+    model_path: ...
+    trainable: false
+
+method:
+  _target_: fastvideo.train.methods.fine_tuning.FineTuneMethod
+  # method-specific params...
+
+training:
+  distributed: { num_gpus: 8, tp_size: 1, sp_size: 8 }
+  data: { data_path: ..., batch_size: 1 }
+  optimizer: { lr: 1e-5, lr_scheduler: constant_with_warmup }
+  loop: { max_train_steps: 1000 }
+  checkpoint: { output_dir: ./outputs }
+  tracker: { trackers: [wandb], project_name: ... }
+
+callbacks:
+  grad_clip:
+    _target_: fastvideo.train.callbacks.GradNormClipCallback
+    max_grad_norm: 1.0
+  validation:
+    _target_: fastvideo.train.callbacks.ValidationCallback
+    validation_steps: 100
+```

+- **New framework tracker**: `fastvideo/train/utils/tracking.py` — `build_tracker()`
+- **Env vars**: `WANDB_API_KEY`, `WANDB_BASE_URL`, `WANDB_MODE`
+
+### Parallelism
+- **SP** (Sequence Parallel): splits video frames across GPUs — `sp_size: N`

+
+## World Model–Specific Concepts
+
+### Action Injection (MatrixGame)
+The MatrixGame pipeline adds **action modules** to each DiT block, enabling
+frame-level mouse/keyboard input conditioning. The action sequence is injected
+per-frame alongside the latent video tokens.
+
+### Causal Architecture
+For streaming generation, the model uses **causal attention** (each frame only
+attends to previous frames). This enables auto-regressive chunk-by-chunk
+generation — critical for real-time interactive world models.
+
+### Self-Forcing Distillation
+A **data-free** distillation method where the student model is trained to
+generate coherent video sequences by being forced to use its own previous
+outputs (rather than ground-truth) as context. This produces models robust to
+their own error accumulation during long auto-regressive generation.
+
+### DMD Distillation (Distribution Matching Distillation)
+Reduces inference steps from ~50 to 3–4 by training a student model to match
+the output distribution of the teacher model. Uses a critic network to estimate
+distribution divergence.
+
+### Diffusion-Forcing SFT (DFSFT)
+Supervised finetuning with **inhomogeneous timesteps** across chunks — each
+chunk in a causal sequence can have a different noise level, training the model
+to handle mixed-fidelity contexts.

+description: Evaluate generated video quality using available metrics (SSIM, loss trajectory, caption consistency)
+---
+
+# Evaluate Video Quality
+
+## Purpose
+Assess the quality of videos generated by a training run. Combines multiple
+signals to give a holistic quality assessment. This skill is **evolving** —
+new metrics will be added as they are developed.
+
+## Prerequisites
+- Generated videos available locally or via W&B artifacts.
+- For SSIM: reference videos from official implementations.
+- For caption consistency: LLM access (optional, stub for now).
+
+## Inputs
+
+| Parameter | Required | Description |
+|-----------|----------|-------------|
+| `video_paths` | Yes | List of paths to generated videos |
+| `reference_paths` | No | Paths to reference videos (for SSIM) |
+| `prompts` | No | Prompts used to generate videos (for caption check) |
+| `loss_summary` | No | Path to W&B summary JSON (for loss trajectory) |
+| `metrics` | No | Which metrics to run (default: all available) |
+
+## Available Metrics
+
+Check `.agents/memory/evaluation-registry/README.md` for the current catalog.
+
+### SSIM (Active)
+
+Leverages the existing infrastructure in `fastvideo/tests/ssim/`.
+
+```bash
+pytest fastvideo/tests/ssim/ -vs --video-path <generated> --reference-path <reference>
+```
+
+Or use the SSIM utility directly:
+
+```python
+from fastvideo.tests.ssim.ssim_utils import compute_ssim
+score = compute_ssim(generated_video, reference_video)
+# score > 0.85 is typically "acceptable"
+```
+
+**Interpretation**:
+| SSIM Range | Quality |
+|------------|---------|
+| > 0.90 | Excellent — very close to reference |
+| 0.80–0.90 | Good — acceptable for most uses |
+| 0.70–0.80 | Fair — noticeable differences |
+| < 0.70 | Poor — significant quality issues |
+
+### Loss Trajectory (Active)
+
+Analyze the loss curve shape from W&B summary:
+
+```python
+import json
+with open(loss_summary_path) as f:
+    summary = json.load(f)
+
+final_loss = summary["train_loss"]
+runtime = summary["_runtime"]
+steps = summary["_step"]
+```
+
+**Early-stage heuristics** (first 500 steps):
+- Loss should be decreasing (even slightly).
+- Grad norm should be stable (no wild oscillations).
+- If loss is flat or increasing, flag for review.
+
+### Caption Consistency (Draft — Not Yet Calibrated)
+
+Use an LLM to evaluate whether the video content matches the input prompt.
+
+```
+Prompt: "A golden retriever playing in the snow"
+Video: <path>
+
+Score the video on:
+1. Object presence (is there a golden retriever?)
+2. Action accuracy (is it playing?)
+3. Environment match (is there snow?)
+4. Overall coherence (does it look natural?)
+
+Each 1-5, total /20.
+```
+
+> ⚠️ This metric is in **draft** status. Results should not be treated as
+> ground truth until calibrated against human judgments.
+
+## Steps
+
+1. **Identify available metrics** — Check `.agents/memory/evaluation-registry/README.md`.
+2. **Run each metric** — Collect scores.
+3. **Aggregate** — Produce a combined quality report.
+4. **Log** — Update the experiment journal with quality results.
+
+## Outputs
+
+```markdown
+## Video Quality Report: <experiment_name>
+
+| Metric | Score | Threshold | Status |
+|--------|-------|-----------|--------|
+| SSIM (avg) | 0.87 | > 0.80 | ✅ Pass |
+| Loss trajectory | decreasing | decreasing | ✅ Pass |
+| Caption consistency | 16/20 | > 14/20 | ✅ Pass |
+
+### Per-Video Scores
+| Video | SSIM | Caption |
+|-------|------|---------|
+| video_001.mp4 | 0.89 | 17/20 |
+| video_002.mp4 | 0.85 | 15/20 |

+---
+
+# Launch Experiment
+
+## Purpose
+Construct a fully-specified `torchrun` training command for a FastVideo model
+given a target pipeline, dataset, and hyperparameter overrides. This skill
+automates the boilerplate of setting environment variables, picking the right
+entrypoint, and applying defaults from the closest example script.
+
+## Prerequisites
+- The repo is cloned and `fastvideo` is installed (`uv pip install -e ".[dev]"`).
+- Dataset is preprocessed (see `docs/training/data_preprocess.md`).
+- `WANDB_API_KEY` is set in the environment (or `WANDB_MODE=offline` for local).
+- GPU resources are available (multi-GPU requires NCCL).
+
+## Inputs
+
+| Parameter | Required | Description |
+|-----------|----------|-------------|
+| `pipeline` | Yes | Training pipeline type: `finetune`, `distill-dmd`, `self-forcing`, `lora`, `consistency` |
+| `model` | Yes | Model family: `wan-t2v-1.3B`, `wan-i2v-14B`, `ltx2`, `matrixgame` |
+| `data_path` | Yes | Path to preprocessed dataset (parquet) |
+| `num_gpus` | Yes | Number of GPUs |
+| `overrides` | No | Dict of hyperparameter overrides (any CLI arg) |
+| `output_dir` | No | Output directory (default: `outputs/<model>_<pipeline>`) |
+| `run_name` | No | W&B run name (default: auto-generated) |
+
+## Steps
+
+### 1. Identify the training entrypoint
+
+| Pipeline | Entrypoint |
+|----------|-----------|
+| `finetune` (Wan T2V) | `fastvideo/training/wan_training_pipeline.py` |
+| `finetune` (Wan I2V) | `fastvideo/training/wan_i2v_training_pipeline.py` |
+| `finetune` (LTX-2) | `fastvideo/training/ltx2_training_pipeline.py` |
+| `finetune` (MatrixGame) | `fastvideo/training/matrixgame_training_pipeline.py` |
+| `distill-dmd` | `fastvideo/training/wan_distillation_pipeline.py` |
+| `self-forcing` | `fastvideo/training/wan_self_forcing_distillation_pipeline.py` |
+
+### 2. Resolve default hyperparameters
+
+Find the closest example script in `examples/training/` for the model:
+
+| Model | Example Script Directory |
+|-------|-------------------------|
+| `wan-t2v-1.3B` | `examples/training/finetune/wan_t2v_1.3B/crush_smol/` |
+| `wan-i2v-14B` | `examples/training/finetune/wan_i2v_14B_480p/crush_smol/` |
+| `ltx2` | `examples/training/finetune/ltx2/` |
+| `matrixgame` | `examples/training/finetune/MatrixGame2.0/` |
+| `distill-dmd` | `scripts/distill/v1_distill_dmd_wan.sh` |
+
+Read the script to extract default values for:
+- `--learning_rate`, `--train_batch_size`, `--sp_size`, `--tp_size`
+- `--num_latent_t`, `--num_height`, `--num_width`, `--num_frames`
+- `--gradient_accumulation_steps`, `--max_train_steps`
+- `--mixed_precision`, `--weight_decay`, `--max_grad_norm`
+- `--validation_steps`, `--validation_sampling_steps`
+
+### 3. Set environment variables
+
+```bash
+export WANDB_API_KEY="${WANDB_API_KEY}"
+export WANDB_BASE_URL="https://api.wandb.ai"
+export FASTVIDEO_ATTENTION_BACKEND=FLASH_ATTN
+export TOKENIZERS_PARALLELISM=false
+export TRITON_CACHE_DIR=/tmp/triton_cache
+```
+
+### 4. Construct the torchrun command
+
+```bash
+torchrun --nnodes 1 --nproc_per_node <num_gpus> \
+    <entrypoint> \

+    --wandb_run_name "<run_name>" \
+    --tracker_project_name "<project_name>" \
+    --log_validation \
+    <...all hyperparameters...>
+```
+
+### 5. Log to experiment journal
+
+After launching, append an entry to `.agents/memory/experiment-journal/README.md`:
+
+```markdown
+## [YYYY-MM-DD] Experiment: <run_name>
+- **Hypothesis**: <user-provided or auto-generated>
+- **Config**: model=<model>, lr=<lr>, sp_size=<sp>, gpus=<n>, script=<entrypoint>
+- **W&B run**: <pending — will be updated by monitor skill>
+- **Status**: running
+```
+
+## Outputs
+- A ready-to-execute shell command.
+- An experiment journal entry.
+
+## Example Usage
+
+```
+Launch a Wan T2V 1.3B finetune on 4 GPUs with lr=5e-5 and max_train_steps=1000:

+
+## Prerequisites
+- `.agents/memory/experiment-journal/README.md` exists.
+
+## Inputs
+
+| Parameter | Required | Description |
+|-----------|----------|-------------|
+| `name` | Yes | Experiment name / identifier |

+
+## Steps
+
+### 1. Check for existing entry
+
+Search `.agents/memory/experiment-journal/README.md` for an entry with the same name.
+If found, update it instead of creating a duplicate.
+
+### 2. Format the entry
+
+```markdown

+
+### 3. Insert at the top of the journal
+
+New entries go at the top of the file (after the header), so the most recent
+experiments are always visible first.
+
+### 4. Warn on duplicates
+
+If a similar experiment name exists with `status: completed`, warn that this
+may be a repeat. If it's `status: running`, assume this is an update.

+description: Poll a running W&B training run for progress and emit structured alerts
+---
+
+# Monitor Experiment
+
+## Purpose
+Continuously (or on-demand) check a running experiment's W&B metrics and emit
+alerts for anomalies. Supports the "30-minute quality check" paradigm: after
+the first 30 minutes of a long training run, produce a checkpoint quality
+report before committing more resources.
+
+## Prerequisites
+- `WANDB_API_KEY` is set in the environment.
+- The experiment is actively logging to W&B (not in `WANDB_MODE=offline`).
+- For offline mode: read from local `wandb-summary.json` instead.
+
+## Inputs
+
+| Parameter | Required | Description |
+|-----------|----------|-------------|
+| `run_id` | Yes* | W&B run ID (e.g., `entity/project/run_id`) |
+| `output_dir` | Yes* | Local output directory (for offline mode fallback) |
+| `poll_interval` | No | Seconds between polls (default: 60) |
+| `alert_on` | No | List of alert conditions to enable (default: all) |
+
+\* One of `run_id` or `output_dir` is required.
+
+## Steps
+
+### 1. Connect to the run
+
+**Online mode** (preferred):
+
+```python
+import wandb
+api = wandb.Api()
+run = api.run("<run_id>")
+```
+
+**Offline fallback**:
+
+```python
+import json
+summary_path = f"{output_dir}/tracker/wandb/latest-run/files/wandb-summary.json"
+with open(summary_path) as f:
+    summary = json.load(f)
+```
+
+### 2. Track key metrics
+
+| Metric | W&B Key | Description |
+|--------|---------|-------------|
+| Training loss | `train_loss` | Primary training loss |
+| Gradient norm | `grad_norm` | Gradient magnitude |
+| Step time | `step_time` | Wall-clock seconds per step |
+| Learning rate | `learning_rate` | Current LR |
+| Avg step time | `avg_step_time` | Running average step time |
+| Validation videos | `validation_videos_*` | Generated validation samples |
+
+### 3. Evaluate alert conditions
+
+| Alert | Condition | Severity |
+|-------|-----------|----------|
+| **Loss spike** | `current_loss > 3 × rolling_avg_loss` | 🔴 Critical |
+| **NaN/Inf gradient** | `grad_norm` is NaN or Inf | 🔴 Critical |
+| **Step time regression** | `step_time > 2 × baseline_step_time` | 🟡 Warning |
+| **No progress** | No new W&B logs for > 10 minutes | 🟡 Warning |
+| **Loss plateau** | Loss change < 1% over last 100 steps | 🟢 Info |
+
+### 4. Emit structured status
+
+Output format (agent-consumable):
+
+```json
+{
+  "run_id": "...",
+  "step": 500,

+name: reseed-performance-baseline
+description: Re-seed the HF performance-tracking baseline for an intentional runtime, dependency, or environment-caused benchmark shift. 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 by replicating one reviewed shifted source result into three success=true records, or five records when explicitly requested.
+---
+
+# 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`.
+
+For a 5-record median, one shifted record is not enough to move the median if
+the other four records are from the old runtime. This skill therefore creates
+3 reviewed `success=true` records from one accepted shifted source result by
+default. If the user explicitly asks for a full reset, create 5 records.
+
+These replicated records are an intentional operator-approved baseline reset,
+not independent measurements. 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 shifted source result has been reviewed and accepted, and the operator
+  wants to replicate it into 3 successful records so the rolling median moves
+  immediately. Use 5 records only when the user explicitly asks to fully reset
+  the last-5 window.
+
+## 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.
+
+## 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_result` | Yes | Path or Buildkite artifact URL for one accepted shifted performance JSON. Prefer the normalized `normalized_perf_*.json` artifact emitted by `compare_baseline.py`. |
+| `replica_count` | No | Number of success records to create from `source_result`. Default: `3`. Only use `5` if the user explicitly asks for a full reset. |
+| `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` or a timestamped local backup under
+  `performance_reseed_backup/`.
+- Baseline window: last 5 `success=true` records for the same
+  `(model_id, gpu_type)`.
+- Default reseed count: 3 replicated `success=true` records from one reviewed
+  source result. Explicit full-reset count: 5.
+
+## Steps
+
+### 1. Validate the target and source result
+
+If `source_result` is a Buildkite artifact URL, download it first into a
+local scratch directory such as `performance_reseed_source/` and use that
+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 it directly and confirm
+it has the expected baseline fields:
+
+```python
+import json
+
+with open(source_result, encoding="utf-8") as f:
+    record = json.load(f)
+```
+
+If only the older raw `fastvideo/tests/performance/results/perf_*.json`
+artifact is available, normalize it with `compare_baseline.py`'s shared helper
+before continuing. Run this from the repository root with
+`PYTHONPATH=fastvideo/tests/performance` so the script-local `hf_store` import
+resolves the same way it does in CI:
+
+```python
+import json
+from compare_baseline import normalize_performance_result
+
+with open(source_result, encoding="utf-8") as f:
+    record = normalize_performance_result(json.load(f))
+```
+
+The raw-to-normalized helper maps:
+
+- `model_id` comes from `benchmark_id`.
+- `gpu_type` comes from `device`.
+- `memory` comes from `max_peak_memory_mb`.
+- `latency` comes from `avg_generation_time_s`.
+- `throughput` comes from `throughput_fps`.
+- component timings come from the raw `text_encoder_time_s`, `dit_time_s`,
+  and `vae_decode_time_s` fields when present. If an older raw artifact lacks
+  those keys, they normalize to `None`; that source can still reseed latency,
+  throughput, and memory, but it cannot move component-time baselines.
+
+Stop if the normalized record's `model_id` or `gpu_type` does not match the
+requested `model_id` and `gpu_type`.
+
+The source record may have `success: false` when it came from a failed rolling
+baseline comparison. That is expected; only the reviewed reseed replicas become
+new `success: true` baseline records after explicit approval.
+
+Set `replica_count` to `3` by default. Set it to `5` only when the user
+explicitly asks to upload the same shifted source result 5 times for a full
+last-5 reset. Reject other counts unless the user gives a concrete reason.
+
+Check that `HF_API_KEY` is exported. The sync path may be public, but the
+upload path requires write access.
+
+### 1a. How to obtain `source_result` from CI
+
+The performance CI exports normalized source results for failed rolling
+baseline comparisons when `compare_baseline.py` ran. The preferred artifact
+comes from:
+
+```text
+perf_reports/results/normalized_perf_*.json
+```
+
+and is uploaded by Buildkite with the performance reports. The normal operator
+flow is:
+
+1. Open the failed Buildkite performance job.
+2. Download the `normalized_perf_*.json` artifact for the failed benchmark.
+3. Pass the local path or artifact URL as `source_result`.
+
+Do not scrape the Markdown performance summary to reconstruct the JSON. The
+normalized JSON artifact is the source of truth for reseed metrics and
+provenance. If only a raw `fastvideo/tests/performance/results/perf_*.json`
+artifact is present, normalize it with `normalize_performance_result()` before
+continuing. If no JSON artifact is present, the benchmark likely failed before
+writing results, so that run is not a valid source for baseline reseeding.
+
+### 2. Sync and back up existing HF records
+
+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:
+
+```bash
+SHORT_COMMIT=$(git rev-parse --short=12 HEAD)
+TIMESTAMP=$(date -u +%Y%m%d_%H%M%S)
+MODEL_SAFE=$(python - <<'PY'
+from fastvideo.tests.performance.hf_store import sanitize
+print(sanitize("<model_id>"))
+PY
+)
+BACKUP_DIR="performance_reseed_backup/${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_result: <source_result>
+replica_count: <3_or_5>
+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 fastvideo.tests.performance.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 the source result metrics, the replicated
+candidate median, and the old medians 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 shifted record only seeds audit history and usually does not move the
+  median.
+- 3 replicated shifted records in a 5-record window move the median
+  immediately.
+- 5 replicated shifted records fully reset the rolling window to the source
+  result's runtime profile.
+- Replicated records are not independent measurements; they are an intentional
+  approved baseline reset 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)>/`.
+>
+> Reason: `<intent_rationale>`
+> Source result: `<source_result>`
+> Replica count: `<replica_count>`
+> Note: these records replicate one reviewed measurement to force the rolling
+> median to the accepted runtime profile.
+> 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 `replica_count` normalized records from the single source result. Use
+an explicit allowlist; do not copy the raw result JSON wholesale.
+
+Each record must include only these baseline fields plus the reseed provenance
+fields below:
+
+- `model_id`
+- `timestamp`
+- `commit_sha`
+- `gpu_type`
+- `latency`
+- `throughput`
+- `memory`
+- `text_encoder_time_s`
+- `dit_time_s`
+- `vae_decode_time_s`
+- `success: true`
+
+For normalized `normalized_perf_*.json` sources, these fields already exist.
+For older raw `perf_*.json` sources, map the raw fields exactly as
+`normalize_performance_result()` in `compare_baseline.py` does:
+
+| Normalized field | Raw source field |
+|------------------|------------------|
+| `model_id` | `benchmark_id` |
+| `gpu_type` | `device` |
+| `latency` | `avg_generation_time_s` |
+| `throughput` | `throughput_fps` |
+| `memory` | `max_peak_memory_mb` |
+| `text_encoder_time_s` | `text_encoder_time_s` |
+| `dit_time_s` | `dit_time_s` |
+| `vae_decode_time_s` | `vae_decode_time_s` |
+| `commit_sha` | `commit` |
+
+Do not upload raw-only fields such as `model_short_name`, `num_gpus`,
+`num_warmup_runs`, `num_measurement_runs`, `individual_times_s`,
+`individual_peak_memories_mb`, `thresholds`, or `pr_number`.
+
+Optional provenance fields are allowed and useful:
+
+- `baseline_reseed: true`
+- `baseline_reseed_reason`
+- `baseline_reseed_source_result`
+- `baseline_reseed_source_timestamp`
+- `baseline_reseed_replicated_source: true`
+- `baseline_reseed_batch_size`
+- `baseline_reseed_batch_index`
+- `baseline_reseed_operator`
+
+Use a fresh reseed timestamp for each replicated 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 `_reseed_03` before `.json` so the replicated files do not
+overwrite each other. For a 5-record full reset, continue through
+`_reseed_05`.
+
+If the 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.
+- HF paths that will receive the new records.
+- Old rolling medians.
+- Source metrics, replica count, and candidate median.
+- 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 fastvideo.tests.performance.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
+
+Report:
+
+- Uploaded HF paths.
+- Backup directory.
+- Old baseline window count and medians.
+- Source metrics, replica count, and candidate median.
+- Expected effect: 3 replicated shifted records move the 5-record median; 5
+  replicated shifted records fully reset the window to the accepted source
+  result.
+- 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.
+
+## 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.
+- **`replica_count` is 5 but the user did not explicitly ask for a full
+  reset.** Stop and use the default count of 3.
+- **The source result is noisy or suspicious.** Stop. Replicating one result
+  amplifies that measurement into the baseline, so it 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.
+- **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="$SUBDIR" \
+    --skip-reference-download \
+    --no-fail-fast
+```
+
+Env prefix rationale (parity with CI; see `.buildkite/pipeline.yml:1-3` and
+`.buildkite/scripts/pr_test.sh:62-83`):
+- `IMAGE_VERSION=py3.12-latest`: pins the Modal image tag to the same one CI
+  uses. Without this, `ssim_test.py:17` falls back to `latest`, which on
+  GHCR is built from `Dockerfile.python3.10` — different Python, torch, and
+  flash-attn wheel than CI's `py3.12-latest` (`infra-build-image.yml:51-67`,
+  `_template-build-image.yml:65-101`).
+- `BUILDKITE_REPO`/`BUILDKITE_COMMIT`/`BUILDKITE_PULL_REQUEST`: mirror what
+  Buildkite exports. `ssim_test.py:38-46` bakes these into the image's
+  `.env(...)` block; mismatched values can perturb in-container code paths
+  that branch on PR-vs-non-PR. `false` for `BUILDKITE_PULL_REQUEST` matches
+  Buildkite's "non-PR build" sentinel.
+
+Flag rationale:
+- `--skip-reference-download`: no refs exist yet, so conftest must not try to
+  pull them.
+- `--no-fail-fast`: lets the test finish generation before `_assert_similarity`
+  raises `FileNotFoundError: Reference video folder does not exist`. The
+  expected failure is what we want — the mp4 has already been written.
+- `--sync-generated-to-volume` + `--generated-volume-subdir`: copies the
+  generated mp4s to the `hf-model-weights` Modal volume under
+  `ssim_generated_videos/default/<SUBDIR>/generated_videos/` so we can pull
+  them locally.
+
+The Modal run will end with a nonzero exit (expected) and print a
+`modal volume get hf-model-weights ssim_generated_videos/default/<SUBDIR>/generated_videos ./generated_videos_modal/default`
+command. Capture that `<SUBDIR>` — you need it for step 3.
+
+### 3. Download generated videos locally
+
+```bash
+modal volume get --force hf-model-weights \
+    ssim_generated_videos/default/"$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.

+| 2026-04-17 | Initial version (Modal sync-to-volume flow). |
+| 2026-04-21 | Rewrite: single-test scope, explicit user-review pause, per-`model_id` upload, HF overwrite guard. Dropped `scripts/seed_ssim.sh`. |
+| 2026-04-21 | Post-first-run fixes: `modal volume get` needs `--force` when parent exists; download tree has an extra `generated_videos/` level so `--generated-dir` must reflect it. |
+| 2026-05-01 | Latent (`*.pt`) artefact support: artefact-type detection in step 1, type-aware verification (visual eyeball for mp4, numerics dump for pt) in step 4, FSDP+inference_mode failure-mode added, design notes for the unified Modal flow. Triggered by PR #1253 (LTX-2 latent migration + Stable Audio latent test). |

+description: Extract a W&B run summary into a structured experiment report
+---
+
+# Summarize Run
+
+## Purpose
+After a training run completes (or at any checkpoint), extract key metrics from
+the W&B run summary and produce a structured markdown report. Supports both
+online (W&B API) and offline (local `wandb-summary.json`) modes.
+
+## Prerequisites
+- Run has completed or reached a checkpoint with a saved summary.
+- For online: `WANDB_API_KEY` set in environment.
+- For offline: access to `<output_dir>/tracker/wandb/latest-run/files/wandb-summary.json`.
+
+## Inputs
+
+| Parameter | Required | Description |
+|-----------|----------|-------------|
+| `run_id` | Yes* | W&B run ID for online access |
+| `output_dir` | Yes* | Local output dir for offline access |
+| `reference_run` | No | Path to reference `wandb-summary.json` for comparison |
+| `experiment_name` | No | Name for the journal entry (default: from W&B) |
+
+\* One of `run_id` or `output_dir` is required.
+
+## Steps
+
+### 1. Load run summary
+
+**Online**:
+
+```python
+import wandb
+api = wandb.Api()
+run = api.run("<run_id>")
+summary = dict(run.summary)
+config = dict(run.config)
+```
+
+**Offline** (existing codebase pattern from `fastvideo/tests/training/`):
+
+```python
+import json
+summary_path = f"{output_dir}/tracker/wandb/latest-run/files/wandb-summary.json"
+with open(summary_path) as f:
+    summary = json.load(f)
+```
+
+### 2. Extract key fields
+
+| Field | Source | Description |
+|-------|--------|-------------|
+| `train_loss` | `summary["train_loss"]` | Final training loss |
+| `avg_step_time` | `summary["avg_step_time"]` | Average seconds per step |
+| `step_time` | `summary["step_time"]` | Last step time |
+| `grad_norm` | `summary["grad_norm"]` | Final gradient norm |
+| `learning_rate` | `summary["learning_rate"]` | Final LR |
+| `_step` | `summary["_step"]` | Total steps completed |
+| `_runtime` | `summary["_runtime"]` | Total wall-clock seconds |
+| `validation_videos_*` | `summary[key]` | Validation video artifacts |
+
+### 3. Compare against reference (optional)
+
+Follow the pattern in `fastvideo/tests/training/Vanilla/test_training_loss.py`:
+
+```python
+# Fields to compare
+compare_fields = ["train_loss", "grad_norm", "avg_step_time"]
+tolerance = 0.05  # 5% relative tolerance
+
+for field in compare_fields:
+    ref_val = reference_summary[field]
+    cur_val = summary[field]
+    diff_pct = abs(cur_val - ref_val) / abs(ref_val) * 100
+    status = "✅" if diff_pct < tolerance * 100 else "⚠️"
+    print(f"{status} {field}: {cur_val:.4f} (ref: {ref_val:.4f}, diff: {diff_pct:.1f}%)")
+```
+
+### 4. Generate report
+
+```markdown
+# Run Summary: <experiment_name>
+
+| Metric | Value | Reference | Diff |
+|--------|-------|-----------|------|
+| Train Loss | 0.0788 | 0.0800 | -1.5% ✅ |
+| Avg Step Time | 2.81s | 2.80s | +0.4% ✅ |
+| Grad Norm | 0.408 | 0.410 | -0.5% ✅ |
+| Total Steps | 500 | — | — |
+| Wall Time | 23m 30s | — | — |
+
+## Configuration
+- Model: Wan-AI/Wan2.1-T2V-1.3B-Diffusers
+- Learning Rate: 1e-6
+- Batch Size: 1
+- GPUs: 8 × (SP=1, TP=1)
+- Mixed Precision: bf16
+
+## Validation Videos
+<list of validation video paths if available>
+
+## Notes
+<any observations or anomalies>
+```
+
+### 5. Update experiment journal
+
+Append or update the experiment's entry in `.agents/memory/experiment-journal/README.md`
+with the final metrics and status.
+
+## Outputs
+- Structured markdown report.
+- Updated experiment journal entry.
+
+## Example Usage
+
+```
+Summarize the run in output directory "outputs/wan_finetune":
+
+  output_dir: outputs/wan_finetune
+  reference_run: fastvideo/tests/training/Vanilla/a40_reference_wandb_summary.json
+  experiment_name: wan-t2v-finetune-lr1e6

+description: How to develop, validate, and register a new evaluation metric
+---
+
+# Evaluation Development SOP
+
+Standard procedure for adding new video quality evaluation metrics to the
+FastVideo agent toolkit.
+
+## When to Use
+
+- You need a metric that doesn't exist in `.agents/memory/evaluation-registry/README.md`.
+- An existing metric needs significant changes to its methodology.
+- You're exploring a new evaluation approach.
+
+## Steps
+
+### 1. Research
+
+- Search `.agents/memory/related-work/` for existing evaluation approaches.
+- Check the `evaluation_registry.md` for current metrics and their limitations.
+- Review literature: FVD, CLIP-Score, human preference, etc.
+
+### 2. Prototype
+
+- Write a standalone script in `.agents/exploration/<metric-name>.md`.
+- Keep it simple: one script, minimal dependencies.
+- Test on a few known-good and known-bad video samples.
+
+### 3. Validate
+
+- **Known-good test**: Metric should score high on reference-quality videos.
+- **Known-bad test**: Metric should score low on degraded/unrelated videos.
+- **Sensitivity test**: Small quality differences should produce meaningful
+  score differences.
+- Document thresholds and their justification.
+
+### 4. Register
+
+Update `.agents/memory/evaluation-registry/README.md`:
+- Add the metric with status `Active`.
+- Document location, thresholds, and trust level.
+
+### 5. Integrate
+
+Update `.agents/skills/evaluate-video-quality.md`:
+- Add the new metric as a section.
+- Include code examples and interpretation guide.
+
+### 6. Document
+
+- Move the exploration log content into the skill.
+- Clean up the exploration file or mark it as `promoted`.
+- If anything went wrong during development, create a lesson.

+# Experiment Journaling SOP
+
+Ensures every experiment is properly recorded with context and outcomes.
+
+## When to Log
+
+**Always.** Every experiment — even quick tests — should be journaled.
+
+## Steps
+
+### 1. Before Launch — Create Draft Entry
+
+Use the `log-experiment` skill with `status: running`:
+- Include hypothesis and config.
+- Leave metrics, duration, and insight blank.
+
+### 2. After 30-Minute Check — Update with Initial Metrics
+
+Update the entry with:
+- Current loss and its trajectory direction.
+- Step time.
+- Number of validation videos generated.
+- Preliminary go/no-go assessment.
+
+### 3. On Completion — Fill Final Entry
+
+Update the entry with `status: completed`:
+- Final loss, grad norm, avg step time.
+- Total duration and steps.
+- Checkpoint path.
+- Key insight.
+
+### 4. On Failure — Document Failure Mode
+
+Update the entry with `status: failed`:
+- What went wrong (OOM, NaN, crash, etc.).
+- At what step the failure occurred.
+- Create a lesson in `.agents/lessons/` for non-trivial failures.
+
+### 5. Cross-Reference
+
+- Link related lessons: `**Related lessons**: .agents/lessons/<filename>.md`
+- Link related experiments: if this is a follow-up, reference the prior entry.

+# Experiment Lifecycle SOP
+
+Standard operating procedure for running ML training experiments on
+FastVideo-WorldModel. Every experiment should follow this flow.
+
+## Overview
+
+```
+Plan → Launch → Monitor → Summarize → Journal → Reflect
+```
+
+## Steps
+
+### 1. Plan the Experiment
+
+Before launching:
+- [ ] Define a clear **hypothesis** (what you expect to learn).
+- [ ] Select the **model** and **pipeline** type (finetune, distill, lora, etc.).
+- [ ] Prepare the **dataset** (preprocessed into parquet format).
+- [ ] Review existing experiments in `.agents/memory/experiment-journal/README.md` for related work.
+- [ ] Check `.agents/lessons/` for known pitfalls with this configuration.
+- [ ] Document the plan in the experiment journal as a draft entry.
+
+### 2. Launch the Experiment
+
+Use the `launch-experiment` skill:
+- Provide: pipeline, model, data_path, num_gpus, and any hyperparameter overrides.
+- The skill generates the `torchrun` command and creates a journal entry.
+- Verify the command looks correct before executing.
+
+Reference: `.agents/skills/launch-experiment.md`
+
+### 3. Monitor the Experiment
+
+Use the `monitor-experiment` skill:
+- Provide the W&B run ID (or output_dir for offline).
+- Monitor alerts: loss spikes, NaN gradients, step time regressions.
+- At the **30-minute mark**: perform the quality check.
+  - Is loss decreasing?
+  - Are validation videos reasonable?
+  - Is step time consistent?
+- **Decision point**: Continue or abort based on the 30-min check.
+
+Reference: `.agents/skills/monitor-experiment.md`
+
+### 4. Summarize the Run
+
+After completion (or at any checkpoint), use the `summarize-run` skill:
+- Extract final metrics from W&B summary.
+- Compare against reference runs if available.
+- Generate a structured report.
+
+Reference: `.agents/skills/summarize-run.md`
+
+### 5. Update the Experiment Journal
+
+Use the `log-experiment` skill to update the journal entry:
+- Fill in final metrics, duration, checkpoint paths.
+- Record the key insight learned.
+- Set status to `completed`, `failed`, or `abandoned`.
+
+Reference: `.agents/skills/log-experiment.md`
+
+### 6. Reflect and Capture Lessons
+
+After every experiment:
+- **What went right?** → Note in the journal insight field.
+- **What went wrong?** → Create a lesson in `.agents/lessons/`:
+  - Use the template in `.agents/lessons/README.md`.
+  - Cross-reference the experiment journal entry.
+- **What was surprising?** → Consider creating an exploration log if this
+  warrants further investigation.
+
+Reference: `.agents/workflows/lesson-capture.md`
+
+## Validation Criteria
+
+This SOP is validated when an agent can:
+1. Follow steps 1–6 end-to-end for a minimal training run
+   (e.g., `examples/training/finetune/wan_t2v_1.3B/crush_smol/finetune_t2v.sh`
+   with `--max_train_steps 5`).
+2. Produce a complete experiment journal entry.
+3. Generate a run summary report.

+# Lesson Capture SOP
+
+Systematic procedure for turning experiment outcomes into persistent knowledge.
+
+## When to Use
+
+After **every** completed or failed experiment. Even successful experiments
+can yield lessons (e.g., "LR 5e-5 works better than 1e-5 for LoRA").
+
+## Steps
+
+### 1. Review the Experiment
+
+Read the experiment journal entry. Ask:
+- Did anything go wrong?
+- Was anything surprising?
+- Did anything take longer than expected?
+- Was a workaround needed?
+
+### 2. Decide: Lesson or Not?
+
+| Situation | Action |
+|-----------|--------|
+| Something broke | Create a lesson (category: `infrastructure` or `data`) |
+| Hyperparameter choice mattered | Create a lesson (category: `hyperparameter`) |
+| Porting issue found | Create a lesson (category: `porting`) |
+| Evaluation metric was misleading | Create a lesson (category: `evaluation`) |
+| Everything went smoothly | No lesson needed, but note in the journal insight |
+
+### 3. Create the Lesson File
+
+In `.agents/lessons/`, create `<YYYY-MM-DD>_<short-slug>.md`:
+
+```markdown
+---
+date: <ISO-8601>
+experiment: <journal entry reference>
+category: hyperparameter | data | infrastructure | evaluation | porting
+severity: critical | important | minor

+
+## Root Cause
+<analysis>
+
+## Fix / Workaround
+<resolution>
+
+## Prevention
+<how to avoid in future>
+```
+
+### 4. Cross-Reference
+
+- Update the experiment journal entry with a link to the lesson file.
+- If a similar lesson already exists, add a reference or update it.
+
+### 5. Periodic Pattern Review
+
+Every ~10 lessons, scan for patterns:
+- Multiple lessons in the same category → consider a new skill or SOP.
+- Repeated mistakes → strengthen the relevant SOP with a checklist item.
+- Infrastructure issues → propose a codebase fix.

+# Sync Dashboard
+
+Updates `.agents/STATUS.md` by scanning the skills, workflows, memory, lessons,
+and exploration directories to reflect what actually exists on disk.
+
+## When to Use
+
+- After adding, removing, or renaming any file in `.agents/`.
+- Periodically (e.g., at end of each conversation session).
+- When the dashboard feels out of date.
+
+## Steps
+
+### 1. Scan directories
+
+List all files in each directory:
+
+```bash
+echo "=== Skills ==="
+ls -1 .agents/skills/*.md 2>/dev/null | grep -v SKILL_TEMPLATE
+
+echo "=== Workflows ==="
+ls -1 .agents/workflows/*.md 2>/dev/null

+
+echo "=== Exploration ==="
+ls -1 .agents/exploration/*.md 2>/dev/null | grep -v README
+```
+
+### 2. Compare with STATUS.md
+
+For each file found:
+- If it's in STATUS.md → leave it (preserve status/trust/tested fields).
+- If it's NOT in STATUS.md → add it with status `🔴 Stub`, trust `None`, tested `❌`.
+
+For each entry in STATUS.md:
+- If the file no longer exists → mark it as `❌ Removed` or delete the row.
+
+### 3. Update counts
+
+Recalculate the summary table at the top:
+- Count files per category.
+- Count by status (Ready, Draft, Stub).
+
+### 4. Update timestamp
+
+Set `_Last synced: <current date>_` at the top of STATUS.md.
+
+### 5. Review
+
+Read through the updated STATUS.md for accuracy. Flag anything that looks wrong.
+
+## Notes
+
+- Do NOT change trust levels during sync — those are set manually after testing.
+- Do NOT change status during sync — status changes require actual validation.
+- This workflow only handles structural sync (file existence), not content review.

+          ## 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.

+            - **FastVideo version**: `pip show fastvideo`
+            - **GPU**: `nvidia-smi` output (GPU model, driver, CUDA version)
+            - **Python version**: `python --version`
+            - **OS**: e.g., Ubuntu 22.04

+            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, read:
+
+1. `.agents/onboarding/README.md` — full onboarding guide with step-by-step instructions.
+2. `.agents/memory/codebase-map/README.md` — structural index of the entire repository.
+3. `.agents/skills/` — available agent skills (check if one exists before writing code).
+4. `.agents/workflows/` — SOPs for common procedures (experiment lifecycle, evaluation, etc.).
+5. `.agents/lessons/` — known pitfalls and their documented fixes.
+
+If you are exploring a new procedure that has no existing SOP, document your
+progress in `.agents/exploration/` and flag it for review at the end of your
+session.
+
+## 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.

 # Sliding Tile Attention (STA)
 
-Optimized attention for window-based video generation (e.g., HunyuanVideo).
+STA inference integration is archived from `main`.
 
-## Installation
+The full STA pipeline code (including mask search and STA inference wiring in
+`fastvideo/`) is preserved in:
 
-STA is included in the `fastvideo-kernel` package. See the [main Attention page](../index.md) for build instructions.
+- https://github.com/hao-ai-lab/FastVideo/tree/sta_do_not_delete
 
-## Usage
+In this branch, STA kernels in `fastvideo-kernel` are still kept.
 
-```python
-from fastvideo_kernel import sliding_tile_attention
+## Why STA is not in `main`
 
-# q, k, v: [batch_size, num_heads, seq_length, head_dim]
-# window_size: List of (t, h, w) tiles. Tile size is (6, 8, 8).
-# text_length: Number of text tokens (0-256)
+We do not keep STA pipeline integration in `main` because we believe Video
+Sparse Attention (VSA) is strictly better than STA for the actively maintained
+FastVideo inference path.
 
-out = sliding_tile_attention(
-    q, k, v, 
-    window_size=[(3, 3, 3)],  # Example window
-    text_length=256
-)
+## What to checkout for STA workflows
+
+To run the full STA workflow, switch to the archived branch:
+
+```bash
+git fetch origin
+git checkout sta_do_not_delete
 ```
 
+## Mask Search (archive branch)
+
+The reference script is:
+
+- `examples/inference/sta_mask_search/inference_wan_sta.sh`
+
+It runs two stages:
+
+1. `STA_searching` (full search), output at
+   `inference_results/sta/mask_search_full`
+2. `STA_tuning` (sparse tuning), output at
+   `inference_results/sta/mask_search_sparse`
+
+Run:
+
+```bash
+export FASTVIDEO_ATTENTION_BACKEND=SLIDING_TILE_ATTN
+export FASTVIDEO_ATTENTION_CONFIG=assets/mask_strategy_wan.json
+
+bash examples/inference/sta_mask_search/inference_wan_sta.sh
+```
+
+## STA Inference (archive branch)
+
+With a selected mask strategy, run inference with:
+
+```bash
+export FASTVIDEO_ATTENTION_BACKEND=SLIDING_TILE_ATTN
+export FASTVIDEO_ATTENTION_CONFIG=assets/mask_strategy_wan.json
+
+fastvideo generate \
+  --model-path Wan-AI/Wan2.1-T2V-14B-Diffusers \

+# CI Architecture
+
+## Overview
+
+FastVideo uses a three-tier CI pipeline designed to keep feedback fast on every push while
+protecting `main` through a full GPU regression suite before any merge.
+
+```
+PR push
+  │
+  ├─► Tier 1: Pre-commit (~2 min)
+  │     GitHub Actions / ubuntu-latest
+  │     yapf, ruff, mypy, codespell, pymarkdown, actionlint, check-filenames
+  │
+  └─► Tier 2: Fastcheck (~10-20 min, path-filtered)
+        Buildkite / Modal GPU instances
+        Only runs tests for paths you changed
+
+              │ (developer comments /merge or maintainer adds 'ready' label)
+              ▼
+        Tier 3: Full Suite (~60-90 min)
+          Buildkite / Modal GPU instances
+          All integration, SSIM, training, and performance tests
+          Runs on the PR branch directly
+              │
+          pass ──► Mergify auto-squash-merges to main, branch deleted
+          fail ──► fix the regression, push, and /merge again
+```
+
+---
+
+## 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.

+**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.

-- 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.

-## 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.
