The split re-encodes each scene from text and its entries replace
output_conditioning WHOLESALE. It re-establishes H3's visual conditioning
from source_image / h3_references — and nothing in the editor pipeline
sets either, because the reference lives on the R2V node, not on Studio.
So a wired reference conditioning was replaced by text-only encodes: not
appearance drift, a different person.
_v2_transition_scene_conditionings returns None when clip is None, so the
wired conditioning survived with CLIP disconnected. That is why
disconnecting CLIP "fixed" it, and why every fix upstream of the split
changed nothing.
Studio cannot split a conditioning it did not build. When one is wired it
keeps it, for every scene, and says so.
