ba37ec3d41 feat: LTX Director 2.0.2 fork, keyframe grid-snap, and audio→video bind schedule (#259)
* feat(forks): LTX Director v2_0_2 fork + keyframe latent-grid snap (#258)

Bump the WhatDreamsCost Koolook fork to upstream 2.0.2 (pinned fe09f73) in a
new versions/v2_0_2 namespace, and add `snap_keyframes_to_grid` (default on)
to fix hard-pinned image keyframes "jumping" at latent-bucket edges.

Why: a Director image keyframe is injected as a single latent frame at the
segment's left edge, quantized to the model temporal stride s
(L(f)=0 if f==0 else 1+(f-1)//s). Pins near a bucket boundary round
ambiguously and two pins in one bucket collide. Snapping each pin to its
bucket center removes the ambiguity without changing which latent frame it
lands on; colliding pins are bumped to the next free bucket with a warning.

- forks/whatdreamscost_koolook/versions/v2_0_2/: vendored 2.0.2 sources with
  the v1.3.9 Koolook deltas carried forward (relay_overrides,
  audio_transcript_json, per-segment sigma — build_segments is byte-identical
  1.3.9->2.0.2 so the sigma patch drops in verbatim), plus new pure
  keyframe_grid.py snapper wired into the insert_frames build.
- Canonical LTXDirector__koolook rolls to 2.0.2 (entrypoint loads v2_0_2
  last); LTXDirector__koolook_v1_3_2 alias preserved; v1.3.9 kept on disk.
- LICENSE re-verified GPL-3.0 (2026-06-22). Manifest + THIRD_PARTY + CHANGELOG
  + audio-lipsync findings/CHEATSHEET updated.
- 37 new unit tests for the snapper; 107 fork tests pass.

* fix(forks): append Koolook LTX Director widgets last for clean load

Move the v2_0_2 Koolook widgets (relay_overrides, audio_transcript_json,
snap_keyframes_to_grid) to the end of the schema, after override_audio. They
were inserted after img_compression, which shifted the last upstream widget
when an upstream-2.0.x-saved workflow is loaded onto LTXDirector__koolook.
With them last, an upstream graph's positional widgets_values map onto the
upstream widgets untouched and only the Koolook widgets append with defaults
(snap_keyframes_to_grid=on). Execution is unaffected (kwargs by name).

* refactor(forks): make v2_0_2 a clean upstream-2.0.2 replica + grid-snap only

Per maintainer direction: the v2_0_2 Koolook LTX Director should faithfully
replicate upstream 2.0.2 (so all latest features work) rather than carry the
older customizations, which are unused.

- Drop relay_overrides, audio_transcript_json, and the per-segment sigma patch.
  prompt_relay.py and patches.py are now vendored VERBATIM from upstream 2.0.2;
  _relay_overrides.py removed.
- ltx_director.py is upstream 2.0.2 verbatim except two additive changes:
  the namespaced node ID LTXDirector__koolook, and the snap_keyframes_to_grid
  latent-bucket keyframe snap (issue #258), appended last in the schema.
- v2_0_2 registers only LTXDirector__koolook; the legacy
  LTXDirector__koolook_v1_3_2 ID stays backed by the v1_3_9 package. v1.3.9
  (with the older customizations) remains on disk for rollback.
- Manifest / THIRD_PARTY / UPSTREAM_PIN / CHANGELOG updated to the clean scope.
  grid-snap unit tests unchanged (107 fork tests pass).

* feat(forks): vendor upstream 2.0.2 timeline editor JS for LTXDirector__koolook

The v2_0_2 Python was upstream-exact but the node still rendered with the old
1.3.9-era timeline editor (fewer toolbar actions, no IC-LoRA track, leaked
*_second widgets, frame_rate NaN). Replace web/whatdreamscost_koolook/
ltx_director.js with upstream 2.0.2's js/ltx_director.js vendored verbatim,
retargeted with only two edits: unique extension name 'LTXDirector_Koolook'
and node guard nodeData.name === 'LTXDirector__koolook'. UX now matches
upstream 2.0.2 exactly; only the Python differs (grid-snap).

The old koolook base64-scrub deltas are dropped as obsolete — upstream 2.0.2
persists timeline media via imageFile/audioFile + /api/view URLs (saved
timelines are already lean), and the localStorage quota guard stays in the
global web/koolook_draft_guard.js (upstream does not override localStorage).

Rewrote tests/sidebar/test_ltx_director_draft_guard.py to the new contract
(no embedded guard, retargeted to the koolook node, pinned-upstream
provenance). 110 fork+contract tests pass.

* fix(scripts): resolve .env from main repo when dev-sync runs in a worktree

Unrelated to the LTX work: plain `dev-sync` failed with "KOLOOK_COMFYUI_DEV_PATH
not set" from any worktree because scripts/sync_to_dev.py only loaded
`.env` from the worktree root, where the committed `.env` does not exist
(it lives in the main checkout). sync_to_dev_audio.py already had the
worktree->main fallback, which is why dev-sync-audio worked.

Move that fallback into a shared sync_to_dev.find_dotenv() and use it in both
scripts so they can't drift. Adds regression tests for the worktree fallback,
the worktree-own-.env preference, and the not-a-worktree case.

* chore: gitignore root-level generated workflow JSONs

Node-swapped/converted workflow copies (e.g. *.koolook.json) are dropped at
the repo root during dev iteration; they're scratch deliverables, not package
content. Ignore root-level *.json only (leading `/`), with a `!config.json`
exception, so the 30+ tracked JSON in subdirs (test fixtures, web/, .claude/,
docs/runs/*/workflow.json) stay tracked.

* feat: LTX A/V Bind Schedule node — gate audio→video binding by sigma

New Koolook node LTXAVBindSchedule decouples big motion from lip-sync in LTX
2.3. The AV transformer (comfy/ldm/lightricks/av_model.py, BasicAVTransformerBlock)
adds audio into video via a gated `audio_to_video_attn` per block, run only when
transformer_options["a2v_cross_attn"] is set. This node patches each block's
audio_to_video_attn.forward to scale its output by a per-step gain, and a
unet-function-wrapper computes that gain from the current sigma: early/high-sigma
steps run near `early_gain` (coarse motion settles audio-blind), ramping
(smoothstep) to full at low sigma (lips bind onto settled motion). One pass, no
re-noise — the fix for keyframe transitions jumping on audio peaks.

early_gain=1.0 reproduces stock behavior; a graph without the node is unchanged.
Registered as a root node + added to RUNTIME_PATHS so dev-sync ships it. Pure
ramp (a2v_gain) unit-tested (9 cases); model wiring validated by live render.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat: LTX A/V Bind Schedule — add transition-window mode (lips synced + smooth)

The global sigma ramp decoupled motion from lips but desynced the mouth (lip
timing is coarse motion too, so holding audio out globally moved the mouth
audio-blind). Add a WINDOWED mode: audio binds at full strength everywhere
(lips sync across the whole clip) EXCEPT a +/-transition_window band around each
keyframe transition, where the sigma ramp applies — so only those moments are
motion-protected early and rejoined late.

Implemented as a per-latent-frame gain on a2v_out: read grid_sizes from
transformer_options to map frame-major video tokens -> latent frames, build a
gain vector (1.0 outside bands, smoothstep-tapered to sigma_gain at each
transition center), expand per-frame -> per-token, scale. New optional inputs:
transition_frames, total_frames, transition_window. Empty transition_frames =
prior global-ramp behavior. windowed_frame_gains unit-tested (7 cases).

* feat: LTXAVBindSchedule — one-shot diagnostic log (shapes/grid/mode)

Logs out.shape, grid_sizes, transition_fracs, and whether the per-frame mask
fired vs fell back to scalar — so a single render reveals whether the a2v patch
hooks the model and whether the windowed token->frame mapping aligns, instead
of guessing blind.

* docs(audio-lipsync): record validated a2v bind-schedule knee (0.35/0.25/0.55)

Promote the finding that LTX 2.3's audio->video coupling must be sigma-ramped
(not full-on) to keep motion smooth AND lips synced, with the validated knee
early_gain=0.35 / bind_start=0.25 / bind_end=0.55 on the 8-step base pass, plus
the trade-axis table and the per-frame-mode caveat (grid_sizes None + appended
guide frames -> scalar fallback).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(forks): keyframe ease — strength-ramped neighbor pins to de-robotic transitions

Adds `keyframe_ease` / `ease_falloff` to the Koolook LTX Director (default off).
Each hard image pin keeps its exact center pose, but emits same-pose neighbor
pins one latent bucket apart at decreasing strength (center*falloff**k), so the
model glides into and out of the locked pose instead of snapping to a dead stop
— softening the "stop/dissolve/stop" robotic feel without softening the pose.

Implemented as a pure list expansion (`expand_keyframe_ease` in keyframe_grid.py,
6 unit tests) applied to guide_data after grid-snap, so the upstream guide node
is untouched (no fork). Center stays exact; neighbors that fall off-clip or onto
another center are skipped. Costs extra guide frames (more compute), hence opt-in.

* docs(audio-lipsync): downgrade a2v knee to 'promising' — note lows-placement confound

The 0.35/0.25/0.55 win was measured on a clip whose transitions sit on audio
lows, so 'no jumps' may be the placement, not the node. Mark the controlled
on-peak test (early_gain 1.0 vs 0.35 on the same on-peak layout) as still pending.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* chore: mark vendored WhatDreamsCost fork files linguist-vendored

The koolook Director ships upstream 2.0.2 code (the 8.5k-line timeline-editor JS
+ verbatim prompt_relay/patches) so the pack runs and distributes, but it's
upstream, not authored here. Mark those linguist-vendored (drop from language
stats) and the JS -diff (collapse the large blob in PR diffs). Our edited/new
files stay attributed to us.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(ltx-av): drop unused `import math` (ruff F401)

a2v_gain uses an explicit smoothstep polynomial, not math.*, so the
import was dead. Unblocks the Lint & Smoke CI gate.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* ci(codeql): advanced setup that excludes vendored upstream code

CodeQL default setup cannot read a config file, so it scanned the
verbatim-vendored WhatDreamsCost editor (web/whatdreamscost_koolook/
ltx_director.js) and raised 4 high-sev DOM-XSS alerts in upstream code we
do not own. Switch to advanced setup with a committed config whose
paths-ignore mirrors the .gitattributes linguist-vendored block, so the
scanner treats vendored upstream as out-of-scope while still fully
scanning our own nodes and sidebar JS.

Languages match the prior default-setup matrix (actions,
javascript-typescript, python).

NOTE: requires disabling "default setup" once in repo Settings before
this workflow can run (GitHub rejects advanced runs while default setup
is enabled).

6f158c9020 fix(nodes): Easy_LoadVideo empty-branch degrade (bundles #243 publish-tab cleanup) (#244)
* docs(setups): add setup runner quickstart runbook

Standalone reference for opening the published-setup mockup frontend
(setup runner simulator): the `<comfy-address>/koolook/setup_runner_simulator.html`
URL pattern, the live-registry vs setup-file (inspect-only) load paths,
and demo mode.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(sidebar): close throwaway workflow tabs left by publish capture

Publishing a setup captures ComfyUI's API-format prompt by loading the
graph onto the canvas (graphToPrompt) and reloading the prior canvas.
In current Comfy each loadGraphData spawns an "Unsaved Workflow" tab, so
every publish left two stray tabs behind.

captureWorkflowApiPrompt now snapshots the open workflows before capture
and, afterward, re-activates the user's original tab and closes whatever
the capture opened, via app.extensionManager.workflow. All of it is
guarded and best-effort: the workflow-store API is Comfy-version
specific, so if it is absent capture still succeeds and behavior falls
back to today (no crash, no broken publish).

Covered by a source-pattern test. Needs live verification against the
1.45 frontend (dev-sync) to confirm the closeWorkflow API shape.

* fix(nodes): Easy_LoadVideo degrades to empty on an unselected folder branch

When an upstream mode switch routes a path into Easy_LoadVideo, both the
EXR sequence loader and the video loader execute eagerly. On the EXR
branch the video loader was handed a folder (no filename) and raised
ValueError, crashing the whole prompt -- even though that branch is
discarded downstream. Lenient sequence loaders just ignore a wrong-type
path; the video loader was the only one that hard-failed.

_compose_input_video_path now returns EMPTY_BRANCH_SENTINEL instead of
raising when input_path resolves to an existing directory. load_video
turns that into a correctly-shaped empty result (IMAGE zeros,
frame_count 0, empty AUDIO, empty video_info) matching VHS_LoadVideoPath
returns, so the dead branch no longer crashes the prompt. VALIDATE_INPUTS
and IS_CHANGED handle the sentinel too. A path that does not exist is
still a genuine mistake and keeps raising.

torch is imported lazily in the empty-result builder so the path logic
stays importable/testable without torch.

Covered by unit tests for the sentinel (absolute + relative dirs), the
still-raises case, and a load_video integration test that asserts the
empty result and that the loader never runs.

* feat(setups): expose prompt as an always-on field in the publish frontend

The publish surface modelled `prompt` as a 4th source mode (mutually
exclusive with EXR/QT/Img) and hid it (visible:false), so a published
setup couldn't offer "pick a source AND describe the shot". This makes
prompt a standalone, always-on input.

- published_surface.js: prompt becomes visible + standalone + multiline,
  rendered independently of the source switch; the author's prompt-widget
  text is surfaced as a `placeholder` hint (submitted default is empty so
  an untouched hint is never sent), with a `help` line. The switch
  excludes standalone fields from its source options.
- setup_runner_simulator.js: renders always-on standalone inputs alongside
  the selected source (textarea + placeholder + help), includes them in the
  run payload, and updates the demo setup.
- setup_runner_simulator.html: .field-help styling.
- contract doc: documents the always-on prompt behaviour.
- launch.json: portability fix (hardcoded C:\Python313 -> python).

Contract test updated + a new test asserting prompt is always-on, carries
the placeholder, and is excluded from the switch source options (runs on
CI where Node is available). Behaviour verified in the runner simulator
(demo mode) in a browser: textarea + hint, EXR/QT/Img-only switch, prompt
stays visible across source changes, payload includes the typed prompt.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(setups): mirror always-on prompt field in the Python publish inference

The publish surface is inferred server-side in Python (koolook_setups.py
_infer_app_surface, called by publishSetup), which overrides the client.
The earlier change only updated the JS (published_surface.js), so
re-publishing still produced the old surface with a hidden prompt.

Mirror the JS here: prompt is a standalone, always-on input (visible +
multiline) with the author's prompt-widget text as a placeholder hint and
an empty submitted default; it is excluded from the source switch options.
Keeps koolook_setups.py and published_surface.js in sync.

Registry test updated to the new shape. Server + publish-contract suites
green (115); full non-sidebar suite green (530).

* fix(setups): keep the runner simulator polling through long renders

The poller used a fixed 30s total budget, so a multi-minute render (e.g.
428s) timed out mid-run with "Timed out waiting for run" even though
ComfyUI was still rendering and the run later landed as succeeded.

timeoutMs is now a "no-progress" window: while ComfyUI keeps reporting the
run as queued/running, the deadline is pushed forward, so a long-but-active
render never spuriously times out; only a stalled/vanished run gives up.
Default raised 30s -> 120s. The run status line shows elapsed seconds while
active so a long wait visibly ticks instead of looking frozen.

Happy path (queued -> running -> succeeded) unchanged; verified in the
runner simulator (demo mode) in a browser.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(setups): serve simulator assets with no-store so dev-syncs take effect

The runner-simulator HTML/JS route returned no cache headers, so browsers
cached the assets and kept running stale JS after a dev-sync -- e.g. the
old 30s poller persisted client-side even though the server was serving
the long-render fix, which looked like "the fix didn't land". Serve these
dev-synced assets with Cache-Control: no-store so a normal reload always
picks up the current code.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test(setups): add live run/poll smoke check for the published-setup API

tools/check_setup_run.py queues a published setup through the same routes
the runner simulator uses and polls the run endpoint with the same
deadline-extension logic, printing the status timeline. Lets us self-verify
end-to-end run tracking against a live ComfyUI (e.g. "does a long render
reach succeeded?") without driving the browser UI.

Used it to confirm the run/poll server flow is correct (terminal status
detected in ~2s; run-000001 reported succeeded), isolating the simulator's
earlier "Timed out" to stale browser cache rather than a server bug.

* feat(nodes): Koolook_NextVersion auto-detects the next output version

Adds filesystem-aware version auto-detection so a re-run lands on a fresh
version instead of failing with "Output file already exists and overwrite
is disabled" (the real EasyAIPipeline failure seen on the RMGB setup).

- koolook_versioning.next_version_token(directory, name, ...): scans for
  existing <name>_vNNN files AND sequence-folders (handles name_v002.png,
  name_v002.0001.exr, name_v003/), returns highest+1 zero-padded; missing/
  empty dir -> start (v001); exact base-name match so other shots never
  bump this one; empty name matches bare vNNN; configurable prefix/padding.
- Koolook_NextVersion node (Koolook/Publish): folder + name -> next version
  token. Wire once into both the EXR and video version inputs so branches
  stay in sync. IS_CHANGED returns NaN to re-scan every run.

Tested: helper edge cases + node registration/run. Preflight clean (20
node IDs). Full non-sidebar suite green (539).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(nodes): 'auto' version keyword for EasyAIPipeline + Easy_VideoCombine

No new node or wiring needed: type 'auto' (or 'next') in the version field
and the node scans its own output folder for existing <name>_vNNN entries
and writes the next free version -- fixing "Output file already exists and
overwrite is disabled" without manual version bumps.

- koolook_versioning.is_auto_version(): detects the auto/next keyword.
- EasyAIPipeline (build_pipeline_outputs): on auto, scans the version-folder
  parent (base, or base/shot/method when subfolders are on) for vNNN dirs and
  picks the next; version computed after path segments so the scan dir is known.
- Easy_VideoCombine: on auto, resolves the token after the output dir + name
  root are composed, scanning that dir for <name>_vNNN outputs.
- Non-auto/typed/wired tokens and disable_versioning are unchanged.

Tests: is_auto_version keywords + EasyAIPipeline auto (v003 after v001/v002,
v001 first run). Full non-sidebar suite green (542), preflight clean.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* refactor(nodes): drop redundant Koolook_NextVersion node

The 'auto' version keyword on EasyAIPipeline + Easy_VideoCombine covers
auto-detection without any new node or wiring, so the standalone
Koolook_NextVersion node is redundant. Remove it (and its node test) to keep
the node list clean; the shared next_version_token helper stays (the 'auto'
keyword uses it).

Node-ID count back to 19; full non-sidebar suite green (541), preflight clean.

* refactor(nodes): remove superseded LTX Director extra nodes + harden registry (#198)

Remove the two experimental nodes layered on the WhatDreamsCost fork — KoolookAudioTranscriptTimeline (k_audio_timeline.py) and KoolookTimelineEditor (k_timeline_editor.py) — plus the transcribe_audio_timeline.py CLI and its test. The audio-transcript to Director-timing job now lives inside the fork via the Director's audio_transcript_json input, so the standalone nodes are redundant. Also drops the orphaned [audio]/faster-whisper extra and updates packaging, dev-sync, web, and docs references.

Harden the node registry against the #183 failure: __init__.py now imports each node group independently and installs the /koolook/presets/* routes regardless of node-import results, so one missing or broken module degrades to 'that node absent' instead of zeroing every node and 404'ing the sidebar disk routes. A new test keeps every root k_*.py listed in dev-sync's RUNTIME_PATHS.

Closes #198.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(nodes): ship loader gates via dev-sync-audio; generalize RUNTIME_PATHS guard (#198)

Address the K-Flame review on #199:

MEDIUM — the #198 refactor made koolook_versioning.py a single registration gate, but dev-sync-audio shipped the new __init__.py without it (and the k_*.py-glob guard test couldn't see it). Add koolook_versioning.py AND koolook_install_guard.py (whose absolute-import fallback raises uncaught) to AUDIO_PATHS so a scoped sync can never leave the loader pointing at a module the target lacks.

Generalize the guard test: parse __init__.py's actual load-time import targets (relative imports + _merge_node_group calls) and assert each is in RUNTIME_PATHS, instead of globbing k_*.py which missed the non-k_ gates. Add an AUDIO_PATHS gate-coverage test.

LOW — CHANGELOG now records the [audio]/faster-whisper + transcribe_audio_timeline.py removal as an external-contract break.

* refactor(loop-audio): card reads only multilines + Koolook Director (#177)

The audio-lipsync card is now bounded to two source families: the five
tracked Text Multiline nodes and the LTX Director (Koolook v1.3.2)
node's own widgets + input wiring. SAMPLER block (BasicScheduler /
KSamplerSelect / RandomNoise / CFGGuider scrapes), FORK STATE block
(_dev_build.json + git status), and INERT warning are gone — they were
either widget scrapes outside the two source families or duplicates of
the Director's own state.

New card layout (top to bottom):

  HEADER         run NNN — {name} + date + workflow filename
  KNOB STATE     relay_overrides (the per-render knob)
  BASE · NOTES   overlay - info verbatim, blank lines preserved
  BASE · LOCKED  epsilon · Audio src · Working folder (path-wrapped)
  BASE · SCENE   Segments (N) parent, indented `1) 0 to 5 seconds`
                 child list, flat Prompt/Audio/Keyframe coverage
  POST-RENDER    overlay - feedback + parsed motion/sync/sharp

Audio src now derived structurally from a 4-state machine
(audio_vae link × use_custom_audio × audioSegments count) that mirrors
ltx_director.py:610-622 — never from substring matches on prompt text.
Per-segment Audio coverage checks audioSegments[] overlap, not the
maintainer's [Audio]: prompt formatting.

Also fixed: upstream-LTXDirector widget index bug (saved workflow keeps
legacy order even after Koolook fork reordered the schema; DIRECTOR_WIDX
matches the serialised order); loop_audio.py's .env discovery now falls
back to the main repo when run from a worktree (same pattern as
make_card.py); notes.md drops the widget-scraped Mechanical interp
section; log.md columns realigned (Audio src + Segments replace Phase 1
/ Phase 2 / Custom audio).

Three new docs alongside the module:

  reading-graph.html        visual flow (dark theme, color-coded bands)
  reading-graph.schema.yaml machine-readable mirror of the same graph
  CHEATSHEET.md             refreshed against the new design

All 231 tests pass.

* fix(lint): split semicolon statements + drop unused symbols in make_card_audio

Ruff (project's Lint & Smoke gate) flagged 10 issues in the refactored
card renderer:

- F401 unused imports — `typing.Optional` at the top of the file and
  `loop_audio.REPO_ROOT` in the standalone CLI's import block.
- F841 unused locals — `dur_f` and `dur_s` were left over from the
  dropped "Duration" row; segment time ranges convey the same info now.
  Kept in the state dict for notes.md; not read in the renderer.
- E702 six semicolon-joined statements in the HEADER and POST-RENDER
  sections (`draw.text(...); y += N`). Split into separate lines.

Rendering is unchanged — verified by re-running the standalone CLI
against run-002. All 249 tests still pass; ruff now clean.

* fix(loop-audio): resolve PR #185 multi-agent review findings

Anchored by the verified multi-agent review on PR #185 — every fix
traces to a confirmed finding (false-positive rate was 0/11).

HIGH:
- derive_audio_state now distinguishes "(no director)" from "off (no
  VAE)". Pre-fix, is_input_wired(None, ...) returned None, the
  truthiness check collapsed director-missing into VAE-unwired, and
  the card / log silently agreed on the wrong story. Added an early
  return when director_node is None. Also documented that vae_wired
  can be None (input socket absent in older schemas) and that we
  intentionally collapse it with False at the unwired branch — after
  the missing-director case has been split off.

- extract_multilines now iterates needles longest-first. Pre-fix the
  per-node `break` was order-dependent on config insertion: a future
  short substring (e.g. "relay") in the same tracked_multilines list
  would have silently shadowed "relay_overrides". Sorting by length
  descending removes that footgun without breaking the current 5-needle
  layout.

- parse_timeline now coerces per-segment numeric fields (start /
  length / trimStart) to int via int(float(...)) with try/except → 0
  fallback. The upstream Director itself does this defensively at
  ltx_director.py:232-234; without coercion a string-valued field
  silently breaks video_segment_has_audio's `<` comparisons
  (lexical) and crashes the renderer at `start / fps`. Also drops
  non-dict entries from segments / audioSegments arrays so a
  malformed JSON can't slip past json.loads + isinstance checks.

- Duplicated wrap_path + video_segment_has_audio bodies in
  make_card_audio.py are gone. Renderer now imports them at module
  level from loop_audio so the two scripts agree byte-for-byte on
  path-wrapping rules and audio-overlap geometry.

MEDIUM:
- DIRECTOR_WIDX now carries a MIRROR: comment pointing at the YAML
  schema's `widget_order:` block (the cross-link the review asked for
  as the minimum drift-prevention fix).

- duration_frames / duration_seconds removed from the state dict and
  from render_audio_card's docstring. The renderer dropped the
  Duration row earlier in the PR; notes.md reads them straight from
  director_node via director_widget, so keeping them in state was
  documenting a contract the renderer didn't honour. YAML schema now
  splits them out under a notes_only section to match.

- Log-row score formatting now uses an explicit `is not None` check
  (`_score()` helper) instead of `or '?'` — 0 was a legitimate score
  the maintainer could type that pre-fix collapsed to '?' because 0
  is falsy. Matches the card's existing `_s()` helper for parity.

- Card already surfaces the missing-Director state distinctly thanks
  to derive_audio_state returning "(no director)" — the BASE · LOCKED
  Audio src row shows that label loudly when applicable. No
  additional row needed.

LOW:
- Renderer falls back to "1) frames 0-120 (no fps)" when frame_rate
  is None instead of computing "0 to 0 seconds" silently.

Test coverage:
- New tests/scripts/test_loop_audio.py — 41 tests covering all five
  audio_src states, multiline ordering edge cases, parse_timeline
  coercion + malformed inputs, video_segment_has_audio overlap
  boundaries, parse_feedback (with explicit zero-score regression
  test), is_input_wired None vs False semantics, wrap_path
  separator-only wrapping, pick_existing_path filesystem fallback,
  autogen_label slug derivation.

Docs:
- reading-graph.html lists five audio states (was four).
- reading-graph.schema.yaml audio_state_machine adds "(no director)"
  state + director_present input; state_dict moves duration_frames /
  duration_seconds into a notes_only section; invariants block grows
  with the missing-director split, type-coercion guarantee, longest-
  needle-wins guarantee, and zero-score preservation.
- CHEATSHEET.md Audio src table grows from 4 to 5 rows.

Validation:
- 290 tests pass (was 249 — 41 new + 0 regressions).
- ruff clean on scripts/loop_audio.py, scripts/make_card_audio.py,
  tests/scripts/test_loop_audio.py.
- Standalone CLI re-renders run-002 card identically (same workflow,
  same pixels).

malkuthroandClaude Opus 4.7 9f063345f7 feat(investigations): LTX23 audio-file lip-sync scaffold (#177) (#178)
* feat(investigations): scaffold #177 LTX23 audio-file lip-sync investigation

Reorganize docs/investigations/ into numbered topic folders, each
self-contained with narrative + upstream pin + patches + per-run snapshots.
Add a generic sync helper that mirrors the dev-sync pattern for any
investigation's third-party node modifications.

Structure (new):
  docs/investigations/
    00_LTX23-base-1-step/README.md             (rename of ltx-director-4k-transitions.md)
    01_LTX23-audio-file-lipsync/
      README.md            -- problem, mechanism, patches, reversion, promotion
      upstream.json        -- repo + version + pinned commit + sync target env + files
      patches/             -- source of truth for modified upstream files
        ltx_director.py    -- adds `relay_overrides` multiline JSON input
        prompt_relay.py    -- per-segment sigma per Prompt-Relay paper formula
      runs/
        LOOP.md            -- iteration protocol
        log.md             -- rolling table (empty header for now)

Sync helper:
  scripts/sync_investigation_patches.py <NN>_<topic> [--dry-run]
  - Reads upstream.json for target env var + file list
  - Backs up the target's current state once per day (<file>.bak.<YYYYMMDD>)
  - Worktree-aware: falls back to MAIN's .env via git rev-parse --git-common-dir
  - Prints a two-line report matching scripts/sync_to_dev.py shape
  - Per-investigation trigger phrase via `trigger:` key (sync-audio for #177)

Env:
  .env.example -- documents new KOLOOK_WHATDREAMSCOST_PATH
  .env         -- local path set

Glossary updates (docs/reference/glossary.md):
  + Investigation folder
  + JSON file folder
  + Loop
  + Run
  + Investigation patches
  + sync_investigation_patches.py

Closes the workflow gap from #177: MAIN is now the source of truth for
investigation patches; the live install is a sync destination only. No
manual file copying between iterations — `sync-audio` does it.

* chore(ruff): exclude docs/investigations from lint

The investigation patches under docs/investigations/*/patches/ are
vendored upstream source (WhatDreamsCost-ComfyUI v1.3.2) carried so
sync_investigation_patches.py can mirror them into the live install
and so iterations can be diff'd against the pinned upstream commit.
Linting them would force divergence from upstream and defeat that
purpose. Mirrors the existing forks/ exclude precedent.

Fixes the CI Lint & Smoke failure on PR #178.

* refactor: per-task automation modules + WhatDreamsCost Koolook fork

Pivot docs/automations/ from "one folder per model" to "one folder per
automation module" so the same diffusion model can host several
independent tasks side by side. Replace the parallel docs/investigations/
tree with a fork of WhatDreamsCost-ComfyUI under forks/.

Workflow JSON heads-up
The active audio-lipsync workflow LTX-23-audio_tests_v01.json continues to
reference the upstream LTXDirector ID. To pick up the new fork's behaviour,
swap that node to "LTX Director (Koolook v1.3.2)" (registered ID
LTXDirector__koolook_v1_3_2) — sockets and wiring are preserved. The
relay_overrides widget appears at the bottom of the new node. Documented
in the audio-lipsync README's "Workflow JSON — Koolook node ID" section.

* feat(scripts): add dev-sync-audio — scoped sync for audio-lipsync iteration

`dev-sync-audio` is a scoped wrapper around `dev-sync` for the
[`docs/automations/LTX-2.3/audio-lipsync/`](docs/automations/LTX-2.3/audio-lipsync/)
iteration loop. It copies *only* the paths that module touches — the
`forks/whatdreamscost_koolook/` subtree and the root `__init__.py` —
instead of `rmtree`-ing the whole dest `forks/` and re-copying every
Koolook fork on every render. Same `KOLOOK_COMFYUI_DEV_PATH` target,
same ComfyUI-Manager restart, same two-line chat-report shape.

Changes
- `scripts/sync_to_dev_audio.py` (new). Thin wrapper that reuses
  `sync_to_dev`'s env loader, target validator, restart helper, and
  chat-report builder, supplying its own `AUDIO_PATHS` tuple. Defaults
  the `--scope` tag to `"audio-lipsync fork edit"` so the build
  identifier names this module even when invoked without an explicit
  scope.
- `scripts/sync_to_dev.py` — `sync()` gains an optional `paths` kwarg
  (defaults to the existing `RUNTIME_PATHS`). Backwards-compatible with
  every existing call site.
- `docs/automations/LTX-2.3/audio-lipsync/README.md` and
  `runs/LOOP.md` updated to point at `dev-sync-audio` instead of plain
  `dev-sync` for the iteration step.
- Project `CLAUDE.md` — new "Per-module scoped variants" subsection
  under the existing `dev-sync` section documents the
  `dev-sync-<module>` pattern, the trigger-name → script-name mapping,
  and reiterates that the user-initiated-only rule applies verbatim to
  every `dev-sync-*` variant.

Verification
- ruff check . → all passed
- python scripts/sync_to_dev_audio.py --dry-run -v →
    would copy: __init__.py
    would copy: forks/whatdreamscost_koolook
    e7f3ab4 - beautiful-mahavira-ae6da6
    would sync 2 entries -> <KOLOOK_COMFYUI_DEV_PATH>  (dev-sync-audio)
  (Confirms scope is correct and the existing dev-sync chat-report
  shape is preserved.)

User-initiated only — never automatic. Trigger phrase: `dev-sync-audio`
in chat (also: "copy audio fork", "sync audio fork"). Same rule as
`dev-sync` — see project CLAUDE.md.

* docs(audio-lipsync): only snapshot runs when explicitly kept

Every render adds a row to runs/log.md (always). The heavier
run-NNN_<label>/ snapshot folders (workflow JSON copy + relay_overrides
+ patch state + notes) are now created only when the maintainer says
"keep", "save run", "save this", or "snapshot" in chat. Without that
trigger, the render is just a log row.

Why: an active knob sweep can do 10+ renders/hour. Saving a folder
per render bloats runs/ fast and most of those folders are noise the
moment the next render lands. Cheap log row everywhere, expensive
snapshot only for runs worth pinning (knob landed, surprising failure,
something heading for findings.md).

Changes
- docs/automations/LTX-2.3/audio-lipsync/runs/LOOP.md
    Step 5 split into "always log" + "snapshot only on request".
    Trigger-detection table updated. Run-labels section reframed
    (NNN matches log.md row number). Added a one-paragraph "why this
    retention policy" rationale.
- docs/automations/LTX-2.3/audio-lipsync/README.md
    Folder-map flags run-NNN_<label>/ as conditional. Iteration loop
    step 5 names the keep / save-run / save-this triggers explicitly.

Not a code change. No script edits — the retention rule lives in the
agent protocol, not in dev-sync-audio (which stays scoped to code
sync, not run management).

* fix(review): harden relay_overrides parser + polish (PR #178 review)

Addresses verified findings from the /review-pr pass on PR #178.

H1 — relay_overrides values are now type-checked
- Allowlist of recognised knobs (`video_strength`, `video_window_scale`,
  `audio_strength`, `audio_window_scale`, `audio_epsilon`) with explicit
  float-coercion. Numeric strings ("10") coerce silently; non-numeric
  values (e.g. "ten") now raise a ValueError naming the offending knob
  and showing a minimal correct example — instead of a TypeError deep
  inside `build_segments` arithmetic, or a SUCCESS render at upstream
  defaults that polluted the A/B iteration log.

H2 — malformed JSON no longer silently falls back to defaults
- `json.JSONDecodeError`, non-dict JSON (arrays, strings, bare numbers,
  null), and non-numeric values for recognised knobs all now raise
  `ValueError` with operator-actionable messages. The only silent
  fallback is the explicit empty/whitespace case — "use upstream
  defaults" is the operator's intent there.
- Typo'd keys (e.g. `viedo_strength`) log a warning naming the unknown
  keys + the recognised set, then drop the typo. Previously they were
  silently retained in the cleaned dict but never queried by
  `build_segments`, indistinguishable from a default render.

Architectural side-effect — shrinks the diff vs vendored upstream
- `_parse_relay_overrides` extracted into a stdlib-only sibling module
  `_relay_overrides.py`. `ltx_director.py` shrinks closer to upstream
  baseline (one import + one alias instead of a 30-line function body)
  and is easier to diff against `e81223a`. The parser is also now
  unit-testable without ComfyUI's `comfy_api` runtime.

L5 — tests added (31 cases, all passing)
- New `tests/forks/__init__.py` + `tests/forks/test_whatdreamscost_v1_3_2_relay_overrides.py`.
- Covers every confirmed failure mode (H1 + H2), the happy path, the
  comment-key convention, the unknown-key warning, and an allowlist-
  consistency assertion that fails loudly if `build_segments` ever
  grows a knob without the parser being updated.
- Test module uses `importlib.util.spec_from_file_location` so it can
  load the parser without walking through the package hierarchy (which
  would trigger the `comfy_api` import inside `ltx_director.py`).

L3 — `_build_line` promoted to public `build_line`
- `scripts/sync_to_dev.py` renames the private helper. The underscore
  alias is kept for one release cycle as a deprecation slot.
- `scripts/sync_to_dev_audio.py` switches to `_dev.build_line()`. No
  behaviour change; chat-report shape is bit-identical to before.

L2 — `source_ref` clarified in pin metadata
- `forks/whatdreamscost_koolook/versions/v1_3_2/UPSTREAM_PIN.yaml` and
  `forks/forks_manifest.yaml` both now spell out that `e81223a` is the
  post-v1.3.2 README-only commit on upstream's `main`, not the v1.3.2
  release tag itself. Code is byte-identical to the tagged release; the
  pin differs only in trailing docs.

L1, L4 are explicitly left alone (L1 is dead upstream cruft, kept for
minimum-diff; L4 is helper duplication tracked for a separate follow-up
issue when a third fork lands).

Verification
- ruff check . → clean
- pytest → 204 passed (173 prior + 31 new parser tests)
- tools/preflight_release.py --skip manager-meta → all PASS (static AST
  extraction still picks up LTXDirector from the fork)
- scripts/sync_to_dev_audio.py --dry-run → two-line chat report still
  emits via the renamed `build_line` helper

* feat(audio-lipsync): config-driven loop-audio script + module cheat sheet

End-to-end automation for one render cycle of the audio-lipsync
iteration loop. The chat phrase `loop-audio` invokes a single script
that does the whole chain — no manual artifact-shuffling.

Scripts (cross-cutting infrastructure at the repo root, like make_card
and sync_to_dev; they get lifted into the module folder in the
`docs/automations/` → `automations/` move queued for the follow-up PR)

- scripts/loop_audio.py
    Reads its settings from loop_audio.config.json (alongside),
    auto-discovers the most recent workflow JSON in the ComfyUI user
    workflows dir (derived from KOLOOK_COMFYUI_DEV_PATH or overridden
    via KOLOOK_COMFYUI_WORKFLOWS_DIR), extracts the five tracked Text
    Multilines + LTX Director state + sampler chain, captures
    fork-state (HEAD SHA + last dev-sync-audio sync info + fork-dir
    git status), writes the run-NNN_<auto-label>/ snapshot, appends a
    row to runs/log.md, and chains the card renderer in. Flags
    mirror sync_to_dev: --dry-run, --label, --no-log, --no-card,
    --workflow, --config.

- scripts/loop_audio.config.json
    Single source of truth for the customisable settings (job_name,
    module_path, workflow_pattern, comfyui_workflows_subpath,
    skip_filename_substring, tracked_multilines, fork_to_track,
    render_card). Underscore-prefixed keys are inline documentation
    and ignored by the loader. When the convention shifts — new
    multiline title, new fork path, different filename pattern —
    edit the JSON, not the Python.

- scripts/make_card_audio.py
    Audio-lipsync-specific card renderer. Five sections (KNOB STATE,
    FORK STATE, SAMPLER, BASE notes, OUTCOME) plus an INERT warning
    band when the workflow's Director is upstream `LTXDirector` with
    a non-empty relay_overrides. Same palette + font fallback chain
    as scripts/make_card.py so the base-1step and audio-lipsync card
    families read as a set. PIL/Pillow added to the `test` optional
    deps so CI doesn't hit ImportError if any future test touches
    this script.

Docs

- docs/automations/LTX-2.3/audio-lipsync/CHEATSHEET.md
    Module-scoped operating instructions per the cheat-sheet pattern:
    what the module is for, the chat triggers, the required workflow
    shape (5 multilines + the Koolook Director variant), the render
    cycle steps, what lands in each run-NNN_ folder, findings-
    promotion rule, where every customisable setting lives, and a
    card-section legend.

- docs/reference/glossary.md
    `Card` rewritten to describe the per-module renderer fan-out
    (`make_card.py` for base-1step, `make_card_audio.py` for
    audio-lipsync) — cards no longer live at a single stable
    `_AI/card.png` path. New `Loop config (per-module)` entry
    documenting the `<script>.config.json` convention + the
    required-keys list.

- docs/automations/LTX-2.3/audio-lipsync/runs/log.md
    Header rewritten with column set matching the actual log-row
    output (Director / relay_overrides / Custom audio / Phase 1 /
    Phase 2 / Scores / Notes).

First real run captured

- docs/automations/LTX-2.3/audio-lipsync/runs/run-001_bear_3x-fr_w.audio_upstream_audio-off_vstr10.0/
    Baseline reference render — `Bear_3x-FR_w.Audio`, upstream
    `LTXDirector` still wired into the workflow, use_custom_audio
    off. Motion 4/5 · Sync 5/5 · Sharp 4/5 per maintainer feedback.
    The relay_overrides `{"video_strength": 10.0}` is set but inert
    (Director not yet swapped to the Koolook variant); the card
    surfaces this with the amber INERT band at the bottom. Captures:
    workflow.json (185KB), relay_overrides.txt (with INERT note),
    patch_state.txt (3ffb7b7 / 15d5688 / clean), notes.md (feedback
    + scores + mechanical interp), card.png (61KB).

Verification

- ruff check . → clean
- pytest -q → 204 passed, 0 failed
- tools/preflight_release.py --skip manager-meta → all PASS
- scripts/loop_audio.py --dry-run → identifies the latest workflow,
  emits the two-line chat-report header, doesn't touch disk
- scripts/loop_audio.py (real) → wrote the run-001 folder + card +
  log row in a single invocation

* fix(audio-lipsync card): match base-1step visual style 1:1

The first cut of the audio-lipsync card used solid colored header bands
and block section panels — visually heavier than base-1step's renderer.
Refactored to copy make_card.py's primitives directly:

  - small uppercase accent-colored section labels (no header bars)
  - subtle BG_SECTION panel outlines instead of full-width fills
  - left-accented note boxes (4px coloured bar + dark BG + label inside)
    for Base · notes, Feedback (video), and the conditional Director
    note warning
  - same font fallback chain + sizes as make_card.py (F_SECTION 17pt,
    F_MONO 19pt, F_NOTE italic 18pt)
  - oversized canvas + post-render crop matches make_card.py's pattern
    so cards size to actual content
  - palette imported in lockstep (BG_OUTER/CARD/SECTION, BORDER, the
    three accent triples plus the new ACCENT_FORK violet)

Two tuning fixes spotted during re-render:

  - _wrap_text gained a keep_blank_lines flag so prose blocks can
    collapse the empty separator lines maintainer canvases often have
  - max_lines bumped on the prose blocks: Base · notes 18 (was 6,
    truncated the OVERLAY - INFO body), Feedback 6 (was 5), Director
    note 8 (was 4, truncated mid-sentence)
  - make_card_audio.py's standalone CLI now loads .env via
    loop_audio.load_dotenv before rebuilding state, so re-renders show
    the same FORK STATE lines (MAIN sha + sync sha + scope) that the
    live loop_audio run captures

Visual reference: docs/automations/LTX-2.3/base-1step/example-cards/
run-001-card.png is the layout target. The audio-lipsync card now
reads as a sibling of that family — KNOB STATE in amber, FORK STATE in
violet, SAMPLER + Base · notes in sky, FEEDBACK + OUTCOME in green.

* feat(fork): ship LTX Director timeline-editor JS to the Koolook variant

The Koolook variant of LTXDirector was loading as a bare schema — no
image strip, no audio strip, no canvas timeline editor — because the
upstream timeline-editor JS bundle never came across with the fork.
The widget upstream paints onto the node lives entirely in
`js/ltx_director.js`; the Python class only declares the inputs.
Compounding it, the JS's binding check is hard-coded
``if (nodeData.name === "LTXDirector")``, so even if the bundle had
been loaded, it would have skipped our suffixed registry ID
(`LTXDirector__koolook_v1_3_2`).

Fix: vendor the JS into the fork and rebind it.

- web/whatdreamscost_koolook_v1_3_2/ltx_director.js
    Verbatim copy of upstream's
    custom_nodes/WhatDreamsCost-ComfyUI/js/ltx_director.js at the
    pinned commit (e81223a). Two string changes vs upstream:
      * `name: "LTXDirector"` -> `"LTXDirector_Koolook_v1_3_2"`
        so the registered ComfyUI extension doesn't collide with the
        upstream extension (both load in parallel).
      * `if (nodeData.name === "LTXDirector")` ->
        `if (nodeData.name === "LTXDirector__koolook_v1_3_2")`
        so the canvas widget mounts on the Koolook variant only;
        the upstream extension keeps owning the upstream node.
    A short comment block at the top documents both deltas.

- scripts/sync_to_dev_audio.py
    AUDIO_PATHS gains `web/whatdreamscost_koolook_v1_3_2` so
    dev-sync-audio carries the JS into the live install alongside the
    fork's Python files + root __init__.py.

After dev-sync-audio + ComfyUI restart, the Koolook variant mounts the
same timeline editor as upstream: image/audio strips, segment dragging,
the visual preview row, the [Audio] tag handling, the
img_compression/divisible_by widgets. The `relay_overrides` field
declared in the Python schema renders at the bottom of the node
alongside everything else.

malkuthro 8447c05795 docs: add automation loop visual overview (#163) 2026-05-19 23:20:36 +02:00
malkuthroandClaude Opus 4.7 9372032b46 feat(automations): workflow validator + LTX 2.3 stage-2-only docs (#170)
* feat(automations): workflow JSON validator + LTX 2.3 stage-2-only findings

Adds scripts/validate_workflow.py — a stdlib-only CLI that checks a
ComfyUI workflow JSON for internal consistency: link-table declarations
vs node-IO references, slot index bounds and types, endpoint cross-
checks, last_node_id/last_link_id bounds, and duplicate IDs.

Catches the class of bugs that come from hand-editing workflow JSONs
(e.g. when an agent re-wires a graph to build a slim variant from a
Director workflow). Comfy's loader silently drops or mis-wires bad
parts, so the cost of an undetected drift is "graph looks fine but
behaves wrong" — exactly the failure mode this script blocks.

Exit codes: 0 clean, 1 problems on stderr, 2 file missing or bad JSON.

Docs:
- docs/automations/CONVENTIONS.md §11 — when and how to run the
  validator, full list of checks performed.
- docs/automations/LTX-2.3/findings.md — two new sections covering the
  spatial upscaler's architectural facts (ltx-2.3-spatial-upscaler-x2
  is hardcoded x2, the brief enters only via Director > guide_data >
  DirectorGuide, attention scales (W * H * T)^2) plus three open
  hypotheses for a stage-2-only refine path.
- CHANGELOG.md [Unreleased] entry.

* fix(scripts): make validate_workflow.py robust against malformed JSON

Addresses PR #170 review (Codex GPT-5.3) — the validator crashed with
AttributeError on malformed-but-valid JSON, defeating its goal as a safe
preflight tool. Two repros from the review:

    {"nodes":[1],"links":[],"last_node_id":0,"last_link_id":0}
    -> AttributeError: 'int' object has no attribute 'get'

    [1,2]
    -> AttributeError: 'list' object has no attribute 'get'

Both confirmed locally. Now every shape assumption is guarded:

- Top-level must be a JSON object; non-object short-circuits with one
  clear problem line.
- 'nodes' and 'links' must be lists; non-list reported and treated as
  empty so subsequent checks still run.
- Each node entry must be a dict; bad entries reported and dropped.
- Each input/output entry must be a dict (extracted into a
  _sanitize_slots helper, cached per node so duplicates aren't reported
  when the same node is touched by multiple links).
- Each link entry must be a 6-element list; malformed link entries
  reported and skipped without crashing later phases.
- node_by_id only keys on int node IDs (non-int IDs can't match a
  link's int src/dst, so we don't mask bad data by accepting them).

Adds tests/scripts/test_validate_workflow.py — 24 tests covering both
review repros, every new guard, and a sampling of the existing
consistency checks (link-to-missing-node, type mismatch, endpoint
desync, duplicate IDs, last_node_id bound, CLI exit codes). Full suite:
168 passed in 1.59s.

CHANGELOG entry updated to reflect the defensive behavior + test
coverage.

malkuthroandClaude Opus 4.7 092c204060 feat(automations): LTX Director iteration-loop framework + 4K investigation docs (#159)
* docs(investigations): kickoff for LTX Director 4K transition breakdown

Captures the maintainer's problem statement (HD multi-keyframe works,
4K single-keyframe works, 4K multi-keyframe degenerates into dissolves
between keyframes) and an initial conclusion about the WhatDreamsCost
LTXDirector node's implementation.

Traces the lineage to the Prompt Relay paper (Chen, Huang, Liu —
arXiv:2604.10030) via Kijai's ComfyUI port, separates the three
mechanisms the node bundles (cross-attention penalty, guide-image
keyframes, audio/image preprocessing), and flags the candidates for
the 4K dissolve: model-side limit at LTX sampling time vs. node-side
length-independent σ in the penalty matrix.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs(investigations): round 2 — 2K vs 4K + two-stage upscale findings

Adds the maintainer's round-2 observations:
 - 2K renders behave much better than 4K (segments morph instead of
   dissolving) — model is closer to its training distribution.
 - The two-stage workflow's upscale stage (stage 2) is overwriting
   stage 1's audio/animation: lip sync degrades and segment routing
   weakens.

Captures the hypothesis space:
 - Why 2K > 4K: model prior (out of distribution at 4K) is dominant;
   token-grid scaling with a length-independent sigma is secondary.
 - Why stage 2 overwrites stage 1: KSampler denoise re-applies
   conditioning from scratch; if LTX Director isn't wired into
   stage 2 the Prompt Relay + audio_attn2 patches go missing;
   latent shape change between stages forces a penalty rebuild.

Includes a 3-option pros/cons table (4K direct vs 2K direct vs
2-stage) and 6 investigation directions ordered cheapest-first,
starting with auditing the stage-2 wiring.

* docs(investigations): round 3 — both stages run LTX Director; new prime suspect

Maintainer's screenshot confirms both stages route through LTX Director,
so round 2's missing-patch hypothesis is ruled out. Audited the stock
LTX nodes used in stage 2 against ComfyUI source:

 - LTXVLatentUpsampler explicitly pop()s the noise_mask and runs a
   learned (EXPERIMENTAL) neural upscaler — not interpolation.
 - LTXVConcatAVLatent fills a missing noise_mask with ones_like
   (denoise fully) for the side that's missing.
 - LTXVCropGuides removes keyframe slots and clears keyframe_idxs.

Traced the audio noise_mask end-to-end through stage 2 and found:
audio waveform stays preserved (noise_mask=0), video keyframes stay
pinned, but every non-keyframe video frame goes into stage 2's
sampler at noise_mask=1 — i.e. fully regenerated at denoise=0.80.
That's where stage 1's audio-aligned mouth shapes live, and that's
what's getting thrown away.

Prime suspect: denoise=0.80 is too high for "preserve stage 1"
semantics — most LTX two-stage reference workflows use 0.30–0.40.
Secondary suspect: the LTXVLatentUpsampler [BETA] is a learned model
that can hallucinate spatially-dense detail (faces, mouths) before
stage 2 even starts denoising.

Includes a 4-step cheapest-first test plan starting with dropping
stage 2 denoise to 0.30.

* docs(investigations): round 4 — scheduler-shape finding + tracking plan

Captures two outputs from the planning session so they're preserved
for the next pickup:

1. Promotes the maintainer's empirical finding to a locked-in
   baseline: `linear_quadratic` scheduler at 8 steps produces the
   right sigma curve shape (flat plateau near sigma=1.0 for ~5
   steps, then steep drop in the last 3) for both phases. Any
   other scheduler degrades fast motion and keyframe transitions.

2. Records the agreed tracking-system plan (BASELINE.md +
   log.md + per-run screenshot folder, with three 1-5 score axes
   matching the live trade-off: motion / audio sync / Phase-2
   sharpness). Not yet scaffolded — explicit "next step" callout
   for whoever picks this up.

* feat(investigations): /make-card skill + PNG card renderer toolkit

Per-iteration tracking card for the LTX Director 4K investigation.
Solves the documentation-drift problem we hit on v01->v02 (multiline
summary diverged from actual node values) by treating the saved
workflow JSON as the source of truth.

Adds:
 - scripts/make_card.py — reads a ComfyUI workflow JSON, paints a
   self-contained 540px PNG card via Pillow. Extracts Phase 1 run
   params (Format/Mult/Scheduler/Steps/Denoise), locked base
   (Sampler/CFG/Seed/epsilon/Audio src), scene (duration/segments
   with prompt/audio/keyframe checkboard), free-text BASE notes
   from `OVERLAY - INFO` Text Multiline, FEEDBACK from `OVERLAY -
   FEEDBACK` Text Multiline, and a POST-RENDER block that
   auto-computes render duration from JSON->newest-video mtime
   delta in the same folder. Layout mirrors the project's
   snapshot-dialogs design language (panelled sections, sky/amber/
   green accents matching docs/designs/snapshot-dialogs.html).
 - scripts/watch_cards.py — background poller. Watches a working
   folder; auto-renders <stem>_card.png whenever a workflow JSON
   appears or is updated. Skips up-to-date PNGs.
 - .claude/skills/make-card/SKILL.md — /make-card slash command;
   globs the newest JSON in the working folder, calls make_card.py,
   shows the PNG inline.
 - .claude/skills/make-card/work-folder.txt — one-line config of
   the working folder path. Edit to switch projects.
 - docs/investigations/experiments/{baseline,combined-card,run-001-card}.html
   — design prototypes that fed into the PNG layout; kept as
   history.
 - docs/investigations/experiments/run-001-card.png and
   run-v04-card.png — sample card outputs from v03 and v04 of the
   workflow JSON, included for reference.

Issue #151 tracks the eventual native ComfyUI custom node so this
flow happens inside the graph; for now the external script + watcher
is the loop.

* chore(launch): use absolute Windows python path for design-server

The default `python3` runtimeExecutable fails on this Windows host
(triggers the Microsoft Store install stub). Hard-coding
C:\Python313\python.exe lets the preview MCP and the design-server
target work on the maintainer's machine. Worktree-scoped change —
main keeps the cross-platform `python3` default.

* feat(automations): docs/loop scaffold + env-var working folder + _AI subdir

Promotes the LTX Director card-rendering loop from one-off scripts to a
documented, project-portable automation framework.

Adds `docs/automations/` as the home for AI-assisted iteration loops:
 - README.md — the pattern; how to start a loop for a new model
 - CONVENTIONS.md — cross-cutting: working folder, Text Multiline node
   contract (Working_Folder_PATH / OVERLAY - INFO / OVERLAY - FEEDBACK),
   card format, iterations log, skill, watcher, run-id rules, tool
   locations
 - LTX-2.3/README.md — entry point for the LTX 2.3 loop; per-iteration
   steps; full extraction table; active investigation status
 - LTX-2.3/handoff-checklist.md — 5-minute onboarding for a new machine
   or new person
 - LTX-2.3/findings.md — promoted findings (linear_quadratic scheduler
   locked-in; resolution behaviour; audio mode; open two-stage suspects)

Replaces the committed `.claude/skills/make-card/work-folder.txt` with
an env-var-driven path. Follows the project's existing `KOLOOK_*`
convention — `.env.example` documents the new
`KOLOOK_AUTOMATIONS_WORK_DIR`. Real path lives in `.env` (gitignored).
No more leaking client-specific absolute paths into committed files.

`scripts/make_card.py`:
 - Loads `.env` automatically; worktree-aware (walks the .git common-dir
   marker to find the main repo when run from a worktree).
 - Output folder priority: Working_Folder_PATH node in JSON → env var →
   JSON's parent dir.
 - Run with no args: auto-discovers newest *.json in the working folder.
 - Writes `_AI/card.png` + `_AI/iterations.md` inside the working folder,
   not the root. Lets the maintainer wipe AI artifacts or user content
   (JSONs/MP4s) independently.

`/make-card` skill simplified to a single command — `python
scripts/make_card.py` — the script handles env loading and discovery
itself.

baseline.html: stripped the project-specific label.

* docs(automations): sync all path references to _AI/ + add layout diagram

Audit pass after introducing _AI/ subfolder. Updated every doc and
script that still referenced root-level card.png / iterations.md:

 - docs/automations/CONVENTIONS.md (3 spots)
 - docs/automations/LTX-2.3/README.md (per-iteration steps + composite)
 - docs/automations/LTX-2.3/handoff-checklist.md (4 spots, including
   the off-boarding section which conflated repo commits with working-
   folder artifacts)
 - docs/automations/LTX-2.3/findings.md (promotion criterion)
 - scripts/watch_cards.py (target PNG path now matches make_card.py's
   _AI/card.png — was writing to a stale <stem>_card.png location)

Adds a clear "Where things live" section to docs/automations/README.md
showing both layouts side-by-side:
 - the repo tree (where the tooling, skill, env-example, and per-model
   loop docs sit)
 - the per-project working-folder tree (user content at root, _AI/
   subfolder for managed artifacts)

So anyone picking this up can answer "what's in the repo vs. what's in
my project folder" without reading prose.

* docs(automations): add CHEATSHEET.md — one-page dense reference

Compact reminder card for returning users. Structured by application
context: ComfyUI · Scripts · Folder structure · Conventions · Quick-fail
diagnostics. Skippable for first-timers; targets the maintainer who
already knows the loop and just needs the right node names, score
syntax, and command list at a glance.

Linked from docs/automations/README.md.

* docs(automations): add Bootstrap section to CHEATSHEET — bare-bones setup

What's needed to get a fresh machine running the loop, separated from
the daily-loop reference. Three checklists:
 - Repo side: Python + Pillow + .env config
 - ComfyUI side: was-node-suite + the three required Text Multiline
   nodes, with exact titles
 - First card: /make-card → expect _AI/card.png

Deliberately skips model-specific setup (checkpoints, LoRAs, per-model
custom nodes) — those live in each model's handoff-checklist.md.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(automations): skip *loop* files in auto-discovery + watcher

The maintainer's workflow includes a "loop" stage in ComfyUI that
composites the card next to the video and writes the result back into
the working folder as `<base>_loop_<seq>.{mp4,json}`. Without a skip
rule, auto-discovery treats this composited-card output as the newest
input — the script then re-renders the card from yesterday's metadata.

Now: any JSON or video file with `loop` in its stem (case-insensitive)
is ignored by:
 - scripts/make_card.py — auto-discover newest JSON, newest video
 - scripts/watch_cards.py — polling glob

Explicit invocation still works: `python scripts/make_card.py
<wf_loop.json>` will render a card for that file specifically.

Documents the rule in docs/automations/CONVENTIONS.md (new §7) and adds
a one-line bullet to CHEATSHEET conventions.

* style(automations): satisfy Ruff lint — split if-on-one-line, rename l, drop os

CI's Lint & Smoke step flagged 17 violations across the new scripts.
Cleaned up:

 - scripts/make_card.py: 11 × E701 (multi-statement lines)
   split every `if cond: stmt` onto two lines.
 - scripts/make_card.py: 5 × E741 (ambiguous variable `l`)
   renamed to `link` in the two link-dict comprehensions and their
   downstream lookups.
 - scripts/watch_cards.py: 1 × F401 (unused `os` import).

No functional change — `make_card.py` re-renders the working folder's
card identically post-cleanup. Verified `ruff check` returns
"All checks passed!" on both files.

* feat(automations): render time from ComfyUI log, not disk timestamps

Disk mtimes don't reliably bracket the model run — the maintainer's
workflow saves the workflow JSON manually after rendering, assembles
QuickTime from EXRs separately, and ComfyUI's metadata bundle writes
JSON + MP4 at the same instant. None of those give us actual render
duration.

Render time now sourced from ComfyUI's own log
(`<comfyui-root>/user/comfyui.log`):

 - Find the latest `saving images: 100%` line → pair it with the next
   `Prompt executed in X` → that's the most recent EXR-producing render
   wall-time.
 - Supports both `Prompt executed in 18.21 seconds` and
   `Prompt executed in HH:MM:SS` log formats.
 - Skips trivial follow-up prompts (e.g. audio-VAE load between render
   and /make-card invocation).

Log path resolution:
 1. `KOLOOK_COMFYUI_LOG` env var (explicit override).
 2. Inferred from existing `KOLOOK_COMFYUI_DEV_PATH` →
    `<comfyui-root>/user/comfyui.log`.

Fallbacks remain in priority order: EXR sequence span (oldest to newest
in the latest version subfolder) → MP4 mtime delta → "pending".

Docs:
 - .env.example: documents the optional KOLOOK_COMFYUI_LOG.
 - CONVENTIONS.md: new §4 "Render duration" describing the resolution
   chain; section numbers renumbered.
 - CHEATSHEET.md: updated the "Render time —" diagnostic.

Lint: ruff clean.
