alg_blur_guides no longer borrows the sampler's anchor knobs: the Scene Chain
Sampler gains alg_guide_blur_strength (default 2.0) and
alg_guide_blur_sigma_threshold (default 0.975), threaded per-chunk via
extra_options like the tail count. The sampler now precomputes one latent per
(anchor blurred?, tail blurred?) combination — the frame sets are disjoint, so
the both-blurred variant composes the two passes — and each region follows its
own sigma window per step. Anchor ALG (alg_enabled/alg_strength/
alg_sigma_threshold) is untouched and back to anchor-only semantics.
Editor: 'Guide blur strength' and 'Guide blur sigma threshold' rows appear
under Engine ▸ Experimental when the blur toggle is on (sampler_inputs bridge,
names match the new node widgets; inputs appended at the block end to keep the
builder's positional widget mapping aligned).
Verified live: object_info shows both widgets appended last; Editor rows
appear on toggle and persist to project.sampler_inputs. 11 ALG unit tests
pass (new: composed independent-strength blur); same 20 pre-existing suite
failures.

Generalizes the i2v-anchor blur (_alg_blur_video_frame0 -> _alg_blur_frames)
to optionally also blur newly-appended guide-attention frames each scene
(mid_scene_guide / carry_i2v_guides-as-guide / configured guides / JoyAI
memory), reusing the existing guide_tail bookkeeping rather than a mask-value
heuristic (frame_overlap continuation also uses mask=0 and must stay
untouched). New Scene Chain Sampler toggle "Blur i2v guides and JoyAI memory"
mutates the shared KSAMPLER's extra_options per-chunk since guide_tail varies
per scene; always resets so nothing leaks across chunks/samplers. Surfaced in
Engine Settings via the existing Experimental section, no backend/builder
changes needed beyond the new INPUT_TYPES field.

Adaptive Low-Pass Guidance (arXiv:2506.08456): blurs the i2v anchor frame
while sigma is in the near-pure-noise region, then swaps back to the sharp
anchor, to stop the model shortcutting to a near-static video that just
matches the reference image. Opt-in, off by default, no-op without an i2v
anchor. Swaps model.latent_image per step (the same attribute ComfyUI's
inpaint compositing already re-pastes every step) instead of monkeypatching
comfy internals.
