"placed from the conditioning tail" means the tags were not usable and
the bias fell back to cond_len minus the tokens measured here. That holds
only when Studio encoded the text. On a wired conditioning another node
did, from a string this one never saw — the editor hands a linked node
the pre-expanded prompt while Studio keeps the raw one — so the
arithmetic lands the bias on a window of the wrong words with nothing
saying so.
The modality tags are the only trustworthy placement there. Without them
the emphasis is skipped and says why. Studio's own encodes still use the
tail, where the measurement is its own.
