Live report: a hand was detected, masked, and upsampled, but the pasted
result looked like a plain upscale, not an actually-corrected region.
Root cause is mechanical, not a bug: 0.85 is Lightricks' own official
re-entry sigma, but it was designed for their use case (sharpen an
already-correct frame at higher resolution), not ours (repair a likely-
malformed crop). At that re-entry point the tail mostly smooths the
upsampled interpolation back down rather than giving the model enough
noise/freedom to genuinely reconstruct structure.
detail_denoise (0.3-0.99, default 0.85 = unchanged prior behavior) now
controls the re-entry point; the tail's shape (ratio between its 3 steps)
scales with it via the new stage2_sigmas() instead of a fixed tuple, so
raising it doesn't just enlarge the first jump. Higher = more genuine
repair freedom at some risk of drifting from the surrounding frame.
