The ref2va checkpoint partition conditions on reference images instead
of keyframes, so it gets its own registry row and reference card, and
the video core marshals PIL images into task_args as
MiniMaxH3ImageReference. Images are converted to RGB first, since the
reference encoder reads the array raw. The keyframe path is unchanged.
Validation runs before the model load in one funnel shared by the tab
and the API, so a rejected request costs nothing: references on a
non-reference model, a reference model with nothing to condition on,
more than nine images, non-images, and aspect outside 1:4 to 4:1 all
return 400. The image path rejects a reference pipe without references
instead of reaching a transformer that was never loaded.
Add POST /sdapi/v1/video plus GET /sdapi/v1/video/models and
GET /sdapi/v1/video/file. The generation body is extracted from the
gradio handler into a keyword-only core, video_run.run, which returns a
structured result and raises typed errors; the positional generate
signature is unchanged and now adapts to the core. Omitting engine and
model drives the currently loaded checkpoint when it is video-capable,
which covers models loaded from local folders without a registry entry.
- registry helpers in models_def (find, engines, pipeline_classes,
workflow_for_class); validate_pipeline reuses the shared class set
- modular pipes stamp their workflow so out-of-registry loads dispatch
onto the modular branch
- disk switches (mp4_*) and wire switches (send_*) are independent;
artifacts above the base64 cap fall back to path plus the file route,
which is jailed to the video output directory and serves video/mp4
with range support
- always-on video scripts get bootstrapped default args, matching the
txt2img handler; missing bootstrap raised a TypeError per frame
- checkpoint overrides are rejected with a pointer to the checkpoint
endpoint; unknown engine, model and sampler names return 404 with the
valid choices
- cli/api-video.py client, test/test-video-api.py suite and a
full-test.sh entry; video mimetypes registered; rate-limit cost set
- remove the unreferenced video_ui.run_video dispatcher
