The force sweep enumerated pipeline components and moved every module to
cpu, including components with no hook to bring them back. It now moves
only modules stamped for on-demand placement, walks the pipe variants
through the shared enumeration instead of the components property that can
raise, keeps going past a component that fails to move, and collects
garbage once per sweep rather than per module.
Selected from the specs the pipe already declares, update_components first and
load_components for the rest, so only what the workflow declares gets fetched. Weights
land in hfcache. Covers the TODO on component names.
Encoder sharing left off: shared_te_map matches a substring of the repo name and 4b hits
_dynamic_4bit, redirecting Qwen3-VL to another repo.
load_components leaves a failed component as None and carries on, so the pipe reaches
generation short of one and fails somewhere unrelated. Compare against what the workflow
declares and refuse a pipe missing any of it. The conditioner fallback goes too, since
loading it another way just defers the failure into generation.
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.
Modular pipelines flagged as base models in the video registry cache
into the diffusers folder, so the folder scan and the model dropdown
pick them up once downloaded and the reference card reports them as
ready; video-only models keep caching into the shared cache and stay
out of the dropdown. The snapshot scan accepts modular_model_index.json
when the plain index is absent.
Reference entries for the bf16 repo and the sdnq uint4 quant load the
modular pipeline through the standard dispatch. Image tabs run the
model in still mode with audio off; the video tab keeps its own
overrides through the shared per-generation hook. Detailer is not
supported and is disabled with a warning.
