Root cause the user pushed on: the editor flattened all scenes into ONE prompt
string and Studio re-derived boundaries by parsing text, so a carry scene with no
transition needed an injected 'scene N' delimiter. The editor already KNOWS every
boundary (each generative unit is a scene) — it never needed to smuggle markers
into the prompt.
- timeline.build_combined_prompt: no longer injects anything (verbatim anchor +
scene texts). New build_generation_scene_segments(project) lists the boundaries
the editor already has (each unit's raw text, prefixed with its REAL transition
so effects survive; carry = plain text).
- conditioning.split_scenes_from_segments: canonical split from an explicit scene
list (reuses split_scenes per item for expansion/keys/effect, folds the anchor),
same output shape as split_scenes. refine_v2 gains scene_segments and uses it
when present (count-preserving: a text-less i2v scene keeps its slot, no anchor
shift); falls back to text-splitting only for raw node-pack use.
- server/builder: editor sends scene_segments -> studio_settings.refiner.scenes.
Net: the generation prompt Studio encodes is now exactly what the user typed —
no 'scene N' anywhere, in the prompt or the conditioning. Tests updated to assert
the verbatim prompt + structural segments; new tests for split_scenes_from_segments
(boundaries, empty-scene preservation, anchor/key fold). Fallback path unchanged
(stash-verified zero regression). NOTE: montage generation needs GPU verification.
