Two things, both from the same debugging session.
v2a_grad_scale is JoyAI's coupling knob and is never installed without
joyai_audio_memory (see the call site), so a left-over value with the feature
off was being reported as an H3 limitation — blaming the model for a knob that
would be equally inert on LTX. Both the sampler's pre-run notice and the
Editor's inert-setting hint now gate on joyai_audio_memory.
The NaN guard only saw the sampler's OUTPUT, which cannot tell "the model
computed garbage" from "the model was handed garbage and propagated it" — and
those have disjoint suspect lists. _sample_chunk now checks the incoming latent
and the schedule first, and says which it was. The schedule check is there
because it is hand-typed and our solvers divide by sigma (er = sigma_next /
sigma): an interior zero or a repeated value is an instant Inf that poisons
every value downstream. A trailing zero stays legal — it is only ever a step's
target, never a divisor.

A chunk that samples to completion and returns NaN/Inf currently sails through
everything: the scene blend spreads it into the already-finished scenes, the VAE
decodes it, and the first thing that objects is ffmpeg's AAC encoder — "Input
contains (near) NaN/+-Inf", naming nothing that produced it, after the whole
montage has been paid for. The video half never objects at all: NaN through
astype(np.uint8) is undefined but silent, so it degrades with a warning.
_sample_chunk now checks the returned latent and raises with the run-phase label
("scene 2/3 · pass 1 of 2"), which stream, how many values and what dtype, plus
the causes worth testing in order — mismatched LoRA, a mis-inferred checkpoint
layout, a dtype the model cannot hold. It raises rather than warns because a
non-finite latent is unrecoverable and blending it forward destroys the scenes
that were still good. One isfinite() per chunk against a multi-second sample is
not a cost worth weighing; a latent the helper cannot read is ignored, never
fatal.
