Validated on the rental and it does not earn its place: 3.5 minutes against 1
for the same clip, worse picture, garbage audio. Some of that was mine — no
weight prefetch across the 50 blocks, a host-offloaded K/V cache, and an extra
commit forward per chunk — but fixing those only buys parity on speed, and the
technique's real win is unbounded length, which H3 already covers natively at
the lengths in use here.
Gone: h3_causal.py, the four h3_causal_* sampler widgets and their Engine
Settings rows, `chunk_causal` on the diffusion loader, and five test files.
KEPT, because it is not about this at all: the LoRA key RENAME table. Stripping
a wrapper head leaves `blocks.0...`, comfy's key map has no bare form, and the
file silently applies nothing — 532 keys, zero applied, no error. That was
breaking any PEFT-style adapter named this way, not just the one that found it.
Its tests moved to test_lora_shape_mismatch.py alongside the MATCHED NOTHING
diagnostics.
Two INPUT_TYPES widgets go with this (h3_causal_* on the sampler, chunk_causal
on the loader). A saved workflow carrying them loads fine — both were optional
and are matched by name — but the values are ignored from here.
Tests: 1700 python, 68 JS.
The rental found it: the RAVEN LoRA reports MATCHED NOTHING. Every chunk-causal
result so far was base H3 driving a cache it has never been trained for, which
is exactly the failure mode the loader warns about — and the warning was
invisible, in a status string the Editor shows nowhere.
Two fixes so the next one is diagnosable:
- MATCHED NOTHING now prints BOTH namings, three keys each: what the file has
and what the model wants. "Matched no weights" is not actionable; the names
are, because they say whether the file is for another architecture (nothing
alike) or the same one under different module names (a rename rule away).
Every entry in LORA_KEY_PREFIXES was found by hand for want of this line.
- a LoRA that matched nothing no longer logs as Active. Loaded is not applied,
and that was the same lie the status string used to tell in private.
funpack_log gains `full=True` for the rare message whose PAYLOAD is the detail,
where the first-clause trim removes the only reason to print it. Not for
emphasis — a feature's state and its reason stay one clause.
Also: the H3 checkpoint-mode note no longer asserts a mismatch it never checked.
Nothing in the state dict identifies fl2va from ref2va, so it cannot know which
file is loaded, yet it said "fl2va weights will read it, but were not trained on
it" on EVERY run with references — including on the ref2va and hybrid
checkpoints where nothing is wrong. It now names the conditioning and stops.
Pins-and-references together stays a warning; that one is a real finding.
Tests: 1824 python (+4), 68 JS.
[FunPack] K/V conditioning patch: Inactive | Non-LTX model loaded
[FunPack] Chunk cache: Active | 22 chunks, 4 steps each, consistency
`feature(tag, name, active, reason)` is the shape, and `skipped` renders
identically — a deliberate skip and an inactive feature are the same fact and
should not have two spellings. `failed` becomes `Name: Failed | <effect>`,
keeping the effect rather than the exception text: "that explains what I am
looking at" is the half worth the line, and an exception message rarely says it.
Everything funpack_log prints is now cut at the first sentence end, so the call
sites keep their reasoning without spending it on every run. SENTENCE ENDS ONLY
— an em-dash introduces the reason as often as the essay, and a renderer that
guesses wrong eats the one part of the line worth reading. A single long
sentence is hard-trimmed instead of left to run.
FUNPACK_LOG=verbose (or set_verbose) prints the full text, exception included.
Converted to the new shape: the chunk cache, region locks, interior pins, the
taste push, the token-refiner edit, AdaLN gains, rating-learned gains, phrase
emphasis, the K/V conditioning patch, the scene split, Bounded Attention,
per-block LoRA weights, LTX enhancements. The rest of the log gets the trim for
free and keeps its own phrasing until converted.
Tests: 1815 python (+9), 68 JS.
One mechanism for both: failed() names the attempt, the error and the effect on
the output, once per run; note_on_change states a standing condition once and
again only when it changes. 13 silent no-ops made audible, 4 repeats silenced.
