+        sampling and has to be power-cycled. The suspect is where a video model's memory GOES
+        rather than how much of it there is. ComfyUI frees VRAM by moving weights back to HOST
+        RAM, and the VAE decode is the call that triggers that eviction — so the moment the

+        text encoder alone (Qwen3-VL-32B) is ~64 GB in bf16, and it is DONE by then: its
+        conditioning was built before sampling started. If the host has no room for what gets
+        evicted, Linux swaps, and a swapping box looks hung long before the OOM killer fires.
