Replaces the Engine Settings 'Reference media' tab. Any image / video / audio in
the Media Bin (Editor) or Gallery (Easy Gen) takes an 'R' mark beside the identity
pin; any number can carry one, and mark ORDER is the numbering the badge shows.
Each marked item then appears as an input source in Models & Pipeline — 'R1 ·
face.png (image)' — for every socket its kind can fill, so references reach a node
the same way the timeline image does.
At generation the marked files are copied into ComfyUI's input folder and the
builder injects one loader per reference, chosen by what the DESTINATION socket
asks for (IMAGE / AUDIO / VIDEO), shared when two sockets take the same one. A
reference whose file is gone, or one no installed node can load into that socket,
is reported against the socket that wanted it instead of silently unwired.
The editor no longer feeds Studio's built-in ref2va list: reference media is
wired now, not configured. Project.h3_references stays readable so old project
files still load, but nothing writes or sends it.
