pipeline.model is a tagged union: a mapping with exactly one key, which
names the model family (ltx2, minimax_h3, longcat, or generic) and selects
that family's options class. The former sibling sections pipeline.ltx2,
pipeline.minimax_h3, and pipeline.longcat, and the DiT/VAE architecture
override dicts pipeline.dit and pipeline.vae, live inside the family block.
The parser implements tagged unions as a general mechanism (a dataclass
with a TAGS table); the family is readable as pipeline.model.family.
Resolution validates the tag against the family that the registry chose
for model_path (validate_model_family raises and names the registry class
and the right block) and fills the family's empty block when the input has
none (fill_model_family), so readers never see None. Family-only fills and
derivations (the MiniMax-H3 parallel-VAE environment variables, the LTX-2
tile-size derivation and refine preset copy, the LongCat BSA mirrors) run
only for their family.
Against the 3f6893a0 goldens every PipelineConfig is identical and no
other field differs beyond the allowed categories; family-only settings
are no longer decided on models of another family. LingBot-Video reads
its refiner switch from pipeline.preset_overrides.refine.enabled and loads
the refiner by default when the checkpoint has one, as at 3f6893a0.
