User caught fundamental architectural flaw на v3 episodes: original alpha-ref.png — Альфa в облегающем тёмном athletic jumpsuit с фиолетовым отливом волос, а v3 episodes показывают её в white blouse, без purple hair, photoreal cute portrait. Style identity потеряна. Source проблемы: TASK-055-era решение denoise=0.85 для прохождения buffalo_l face detector. PuLID conditioning locks face only, не outfit/hair. Sweep diagnose’нул: denoise=0.5 preserves outfit полностью на photoreal source frames, но fails face detection на raw 4DGS render. Real fix требует compound conditioning (Redux OR IP-Adapter-Flux).
Diagnostic sweep
Ran PuLID Flux i2i на различных denoise levels против alpha-ref.png baseline:
Source: raw 4DGS render frame 100 (stylized, no photoreal face):
| Denoise | Outfit | Hair | Face detect |
|---|---|---|---|
| 0.5 | ✅ jumpsuit, purple hair preserved | ✅ purple highlights | ❌ FAIL (raw 4DGS not photoreal enough) |
| 0.85 (current default) | ❌ white blouse | ❌ no purple | ✅ PASS |
Source: canonical_refined_85.png (photoreal, frontal face):
| Denoise | Outfit | Face detect |
|---|---|---|
| 0.5 | ✅ black athletic jumpsuit, full body, boots | ✅ PASS det=0.87 |
| 0.65 | ✅ slightly more drift but jumpsuit preserved | ✅ PASS det=0.81 |
Conclusion: denoise=0.5 architecturally correct если source уже photoreal. На raw 4DGS source Flux не может recover photoreal face без denoise≥0.85, который destroys outfit.
Visual proof — d=0.5 на canonical source
Чёрный jumpsuit, full body, boots. Outfit identity preserved. Face detector passes (det=0.87). Это working architectural fix — но source должен быть photoreal.
Visual proof — d=0.5 на raw 4DGS source
Outfit + purple hair preserved! Но face detector fails (raw 4DGS frame 100 имеет stylized geometry без recognizable face structure → Flux не может recover face при d=0.5 — недостаточно noise budget для photoreal face). Нужен higher denoise или compound conditioning.
Root cause diagnosis
Original TASK-055 path (broken):
4DGS render frame (stylized, no photoreal face)
→ Flux i2i denoise=0.85 + PuLID ← face=PuLID-locked, outfit=Flux freedom
→ Photoreal portrait but WHITE BLOUSE (Flux invented outfit)
Why it broke: denoise=0.85 = «significant changes preserving composition» per FLUX docs. Composition = pose, NOT outfit. Outfit/clothing/hair = pixels that Flux freely re-imagines. PuLID anchors only face identity.
Architectural fix path (compound conditioning):
4DGS render frame
↓
PuLID encode face (alpha-ref → identity tokens)
↓
+ FLUX Redux/IP-Adapter encode style (alpha-ref → style tokens) ← MISSING IN CURRENT
↓
Flux i2i denoise=0.55-0.65 + PuLID + Redux/IPA compound
↓
Output: face-locked + outfit-locked + photoreal enough для face detector
Что попробовал и что сейчас blocked
FLUX Redux (preferred): black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-Redux-dev — gated на HuggingFace. Mirror search не нашёл публичный (Comfy-Org/Aitrepreneur/city96/Kijai/alpindale variants checked, all failed). Требует HF token с FLUX gating accepted.
InstantX FLUX.1-dev IP-Adapter (backup): 5.3 GB ip-adapter.bin downloaded, но requires custom diffusers pipeline — не drop-in compatible с ComfyUI built-in nodes.
Shakker-Labs ComfyUI-IPAdapter-FLUX (correct path): GitHub repo cloned в ~/comfy/ComfyUI/custom_nodes/ComfyUI-IPAdapter-FLUX/. Provides ComfyUI-native nodes для IP-Adapter integration. Setup status: cloned, не yet integrated в production workflow — требует:
- pip install dependencies (einops==0.8.0 etc)
- Place ip-adapter.bin в
models/ipadapter-flux/ - Build new compound workflow JSON (PuLID + IPAdapter + Flux i2i)
- Smoke test
- Update production helper script
Это не fits в TASK-094 time budget — separate task.
Что узнал
- denoise=0.85 was wrong choice — preserves только composition (pose), не identity (outfit). PuLID alone insufficient для outfit lock.
- Source matters — canonical photoreal source allows lower denoise; raw 4DGS stylized source requires aggressive denoise to recover photoreal face → trade-off destroys outfit.
- Compound conditioning architecturally needed — PuLID (face) + IP-Adapter/Redux (style) + low denoise = correct path. Current pipeline missing style anchor.
- TASK-093 batch regen на broken pipeline = wasted work (как user указал) — все 14 episodes architecturally имеют style drift, не только rectangular boundary fix недостаточно.
Что shipped
- Diagnostic sweep results — d=0.5/0.65/0.85 на raw 4DGS + canonical source

Honest gaps (block list для TASK-095)
- FLUX Redux gated — публичный mirror не найден. Требует:
- HF token авторизованный для black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-Redux-dev gating
- OR alternative path через IP-Adapter
- IP-Adapter-Flux integration incomplete — node cloned, model downloaded, но workflow не построен. Требует:
- pip install dependencies в Comfy venv
- Comfy restart для load custom nodes
- Build PuLID + IPAdapter compound workflow JSON
- Smoke test
- Production helper script update
- Episode #11 не regenerated на architecturally fixed pipeline (spec acceptance #6) — blocked на TASK-094 не deliverable scope, требует TASK-095 follow-up
- TASK-093 batch regen 7 episodes — все architecturally still broken (только rectangular boundary fix applied, style drift inherited). Будут replaced в TASK-095+.
Что дальше (TASK-095 territory)
- TASK-095 = complete IP-Adapter-Flux integration — pip install deps, restart Comfy, build compound workflow, smoke test, replace
flux-i2i-pulid-tunable.shс IPA-aware version - TASK-096 = batch regenerate all 14 episodes на architecturally fixed pipeline (PuLID + IPAdapter + low denoise)
- TASK-097 = update index, blog UPD posts, distribution-ready signaling
- Owner action: HF token approval для black-forest-labs/FLUX.1-Redux-dev (cleaner alternative к IP-Adapter)

UPD (TASK-095) — architectural fix shipped, episode #11 v4 deployed
Architectural fix realized without IP-Adapter integration: использован alpha-ref.png как canonical frontal source + PuLID + Flux denoise=0.5 + LatentSync patched. Episode #11 v4 deployed на existing URL — outfit (athletic jumpsuit) + purple hair + photoreal face preserved.
Trade-off accepted: static-loop motion (single refined frame loop) vs full-motion. Outfit fidelity > frame-diff metric per user priority.
Подробности: architectural fix shipped post.
UPD (TASK-096) — LS 1.6 upgrade
LatentSync 1.5 → 1.6 drop-in upgrade fixes mouth pixel/blur artifact (GitHub #67). Подробности: LS 1.6 upgrade post.
