Measured: 0.4 loose and inventive, 0.6-0.75 several versions of the shot
attempted at once with the strongest winning, 0.75 and up simply the
reference. No usable band anywhere in the range.
The timestep is how the model knows what stage everything is at, so a prompt
that disagrees with the picture about the stage costs it the ability to settle
on one reading — which is what "multiple variants in one video" is. Structure
is chosen early, so the edit now waits until it has been: ramped in through
_make_steer_ramp, the same late-step gate the rating-driven wrappers share,
interpolating from the prompt's own row so a closed gate is byte-identical to
not being installed.
Third hypothesis for this dial. If it still just reproduces the reference, the
feature does not earn its place and comes out.
