EthanfelandClaude Sonnet 4.6 15fc5f0793 feat: add SelvaDatasetCompressor node for parallel compression
Mild 2:1-3:1 parallel compression via pedalboard.Compressor to reduce
within-clip loudness variance after LUFS normalization. Blend ratio
keeps transients intact while tightening dynamics.

EthanfelandClaude Sonnet 4.6 48493a3f0d feat: add SelvaDatasetSaver node with NPZ sidecar copy
Saves all clips in an AUDIO_DATASET to FLAC. When npz_source_dir is
provided, copies the matching .npz for each clip so FLAC/NPZ pairs
stay in sync after the inspector filters out bad clips.

EthanfelandClaude Sonnet 4.6 becb38c27e fix: use soundfile for WAV/FLAC/OGG to bypass torchcodec/FFmpeg dependency
torchaudio was defaulting to the torchcodec backend which requires FFmpeg
shared libraries not present in the ComfyUI venv, silently skipping every
clip and producing an empty dataset.

Also add experiments/vocoder_finetune.json for the BJ vocoder LoRA run
(lr=3e-4, rank=128, 10k steps).

EthanfelandClaude Sonnet 4.6 b9f95cfd7e fix: detect silent discriminator load failure and fall back explicitly
If no matching key was found for MPD or MRD in the checkpoint, the for-loops
completed silently and randomly-initialized discriminators were used as frozen
feature extractors — producing meaningless feature matching loss while
appearing to work. Now raises RuntimeError (caught by outer except) which
triggers the existing fallback to mel+STFT losses with a clear warning.
Also prints available checkpoint keys to help diagnose format mismatches.

EthanfelandClaude Sonnet 4.6 f50afa9796 fix: guard _estimate_snr against short clips, fix freqs device in _check_hf_shelf
Bug 1: mono.unfold(0, 2048, 512) returns an empty tensor for clips shorter
than 2048 samples (~46ms). torch.quantile on an empty tensor crashes with
"quantile() input tensor must be non-empty". Guard: return 60.0 (assume
clean) for clips too short to frame — the pipeline has no minimum-length
filter so any short file in the dataset folder would crash the Inspector.

Bug 2: torch.linspace(...) in _check_hf_shelf created a CPU tensor, making
band_lo/band_hi CPU boolean masks. Indexing a GPU mag_sq tensor with CPU
masks crashes. Pass device=mono.device so freqs lands on the same device
as the audio.

EthanfelandClaude Sonnet 4.6 8166c56552 perf: gradient checkpointing on vocoder forward to reduce activation memory
BigVGAN's 512x upsampling stack stores huge intermediate activations for
backward even in snake_alpha_only mode (only 5K trainable params, but
activation graph runs through the full network after each snake op).

Wrapping vocoder() in checkpoint(use_reentrant=False) recomputes activations
during backward instead of storing them — ~2x compute cost, large reduction
in peak VRAM. Should allow batch_size > 1 on 96 GB without OOM.

EthanfelandClaude Sonnet 4.6 eece79ccae fix: correct MRD channel width to 128 and unload models before training
Two bugs:

1. _DiscriminatorR used channels=32 but the BigVGAN pretrained discriminator
   checkpoint has channels=128. All convs in _DiscriminatorR now use 128,
   matching the checkpoint architecture so state_dict loads without error.

2. BigVGAN trainer OOM: SelVA generator and other ComfyUI models remain in
   VRAM during training (~90 GiB used). Add unload_all_models() + cache
   flush before the training loop to reclaim VRAM headroom.

EthanfelandClaude Sonnet 4.6 357b875e5e fix: strip inference tensor flags in DITTO optimizer
Two crash paths under "RuntimeError: Inference tensors cannot be
saved for backward":

1. clip_f / sync_f loaded from main-thread inference_mode carry the
   inference flag. Clone them on entry to the worker thread so the
   conditions built from them are clean non-inference tensors.
   Also clone x after Phase 1 before the STE reconnection — Phase 1
   runs under no_grad and produces outputs that may still carry the
   flag through the conditions path.

2. net_generator.unnormalize + feature_utils.decode called outside
   any checkpoint wrapper with requires_grad=True input. Backward
   tried to save inference-flagged model weights. Wrapped both calls
   in checkpoint(use_reentrant=False) so they recompute on backward
   instead of storing activations.

EthanfelandClaude Sonnet 4.6 211494a91c fix: DITTO gradient never reached x0, remove unused imports and dead code
DITTO critical bug: x was reassigned on every ODE step, so by the time
loss.backward() ran, x pointed to the final output tensor (grad_fn, not
a leaf) and x.grad was always None. The manual gradient transfer never
fired — x0 was never updated. The optimization was a no-op.

Fix: use a straight-through estimator after the no-grad prefix:
  x = x + (x0 - x0.detach())
This adds zero value but creates a grad_fn back to x0, so backward()
propagates ∂loss/∂x (at the Phase-1/2 boundary) directly to x0.grad.
Equivalent to truncated BPTT with ∂x_prefix/∂x0 ≈ I.

Also remove unused imports (SelvaSampler, _inject_tokens, random) that
caused cascade ImportError risk, and remove dead trainable_count variable
in BigVGAN trainer.

EthanfelandClaude Sonnet 4.6 1e9551152e feat: add DITTO optimizer, upgrade BigVGAN trainer, document all nodes
BigVGAN trainer (selva_bigvgan_trainer.py):
- Add snake_alpha_only train mode: tunes only ~27K per-channel α params
  (0.024% of 112M) — physically cannot cause harmonic smearing
- Add lambda_l2sp: L2-SP anchor regularization toward pretrained weights
- Add optional discriminator_path: frozen MPD+MRD feature matching loss
  replaces mel L1 when a BigVGAN discriminator checkpoint is provided
- Inline MPD + MRD discriminator implementations (no extra dependencies)

DITTO optimizer (selva_ditto_optimizer.py):
- New node: inference-time noise optimization (arXiv:2401.12179)
- Optimizes x₀ via mel Gram matrix style loss against BJ reference clips
- All model weights frozen — zero quality degradation risk
- Truncated BPTT through last n_grad_steps of the ODE (configurable)
- Gradient checkpointing on each differentiated step

Docs:
- README: document all 20 nodes (was 3), add workflow diagrams
- STYLE_TRANSFER.md: new guide — DITTO, vocoder fine-tuning tiers,
  why LoRA/TI fail, combined approach, dataset prep

remove_parametrizations() stores weight as a plain __dict__ tensor (not
nn.Parameter), making it invisible to _parameters iteration. Also, buffers
(Activation1d anti-aliasing filters) are inference tensors that break the
backward graph mid-network. Fix all three categories:
1. _parameters: clone().detach(), wrap as Parameter
2. plain __dict__ tensors: clone(), register_parameter (also makes trainable)
3. _buffers: clone() to strip inference flag without parametrizing

EthanfelandClaude Sonnet 4.6 78f8aa98ad fix: clone inference tensors at thread entry to strip the inference flag
torch.inference_mode is thread-local, but the inference flag lives on the
tensor object. Operations on inference tensors always propagate it, even in
a clean thread. The only escape is .clone() called outside inference_mode.
At thread entry (inference_mode disabled): clone clips and mel_converter
buffers to get clean normal tensors before any training computation.
Vocoder parameter clone() also now works correctly in this thread context.

EthanfelandClaude Sonnet 4.6 e870446b0f fix: run BigVGAN training in a fresh thread to escape inference_mode
torch.inference_mode is thread-local. ComfyUI sets it on the node-execution
thread; inference_mode(False) alone is insufficient to escape it in some
environments (e.g. async wrappers, lora-manager hook). A new thread always
starts clean. Moved all training logic into _do_train() called via
threading.Thread so every tensor is a normal autograd tensor by default.
Simplified parameter cloning: clone().detach().requires_grad_(True).

EthanfelandClaude Sonnet 4.6 51ac099073 fix: sanitize target_flat — clips are inference tensors from outer inference_mode
The clips list is built inside ComfyUI's inference_mode context, so every
element is an inference tensor. torch.stack().clone() propagates the flag.
Use zeros+copy_ (same pattern as params/buffers) to get a normal tensor,
so mel_converter(target_flat) inside no_grad produces a saveable input.

inference tensors — the flag propagates through all operations on them.
Inside inference_mode(False), torch.zeros() creates genuine normal tensors.

buffers once before training, so autograd can save inputs for backward.

EthanfelandClaude Sonnet 4.6 115a0c3718 feat(steering): conditional-only injection + per-position vectors
Two improvements for stronger steering effect:

1. Apply steering only during the conditional predict_flow pass by
   monkey-patching predict_flow to set a flag via identity check
   (cond is conditions). Hooks skip the unconditional pass, so
   steering is amplified by cfg_strength (~4.5x) instead of canceling
   out in the CFG guidance term.

2. Restore per-position [seq, hidden] steering vectors instead of
   seq-averaged [hidden]. More spatially specific — captures positional
   activation patterns rather than a global mean. Seq length mismatch
   at inference time handled via linear interpolation.

EthanfelandClaude Sonnet 4.6 28ee3db337 feat(sampler): add ti_strength blend for TI injection
TI via text conditioning produces buzz because SelVA's text path is
mean-pooled into a global DiT bias — not rich per-token cross-attention
like SD. The optimizer learns a constant spectral artifact rather than
semantic style shift.

ti_strength=1.0 (default) = full injection as before.
ti_strength<1.0 = lerp between original and injected text_clip,
allowing the effect to be dialled back without retraining.
Applies to both text_clip and neg_text_clip symmetrically.

Diagnosis: learned tokens grew to norm ~3.2 while real CLIP content tokens

artifact instead of semantic style shift.

Fix: measure mean token norm from content positions (1–20) of dataset CLIP

EthanfelandClaude Sonnet 4.6 e1a2f0ed7d feat: add inject_mode (suffix/prefix) to TI pipeline
Observation: n4_baseline loss barely moved (1.025→0.965 over 3000 steps),
token_norm grew linearly without plateau — generator likely ignores last-K
CLIP positions (EOS/padding zone) where suffix injects.

Fix: add inject_mode parameter throughout the pipeline:
- "suffix": replace last K positions (original behavior, model may ignore)
- "prefix": replace positions 1:1+K right after BOS — highest attention
  weight in CLIP, much stronger gradient signal expected

Changes:
- selva_textual_inversion_trainer.py: _inject_tokens() helper centralises
  the torch.cat construction for both modes; used in training loop and eval;

EthanfelandClaude Sonnet 4.6 c0d95ce356 feat: add ti_sweep_1 experiment file
First TI sweep covering the three most impactful axes:
- token_count group: n_tokens 4 / 8 / 16 (capacity vs overfitting)
- learning_rate group: 5e-4 / 1e-3 / 2e-3 with n_tokens=4
- warm_init group: n4 and n8 seeded from 'mechanical impact sound design'

7 experiments total, 3000 steps each, same data_dir as LoRA sweeps.
n4_baseline (lr=1e-3, random init) is the primary reference point.

EthanfelandClaude Sonnet 4.6 e37bfe1b1c feat: add SelVA TI Scheduler for sweep-based textual inversion experiments
- SelvaTiScheduler: runs a JSON-defined sweep of TI training experiments,
  loading the dataset once and reusing it across runs
- Collects per-experiment loss history, final/min loss, stability metric
  (loss_std_last_quarter), and duration — written to experiment_summary.json
  after each completed run so partial sweeps survive interruption
- Resume-aware: skips experiments already marked completed in an existing
  summary file
- Outputs smoothed loss comparison chart (same axes, one curve per experiment)
- SelvaTextualInversionTrainer._train_inner now returns a dict
  {embeddings_path, loss_history} so the scheduler can read results;
  train() extracts just the path for ComfyUI

JSON format: name, description, data_dir, output_root, base config,
experiments list with id + param overrides

EthanfelandClaude Sonnet 4.6 eed7eefeac feat: add SelVA HF Smoother and Spectral Matcher preprocessing nodes
Two ComfyUI nodes to reduce domain mismatch between custom training audio
and the MMAudio VAE's expected spectral distribution:

SelvaHfSmoother: blends a low-pass filtered copy (biquad) with the original
at a configurable cutoff and blend ratio. Attenuates extreme HF content that
BigVGANv2 handles poorly. RMS-preserving.

SelvaSpectralMatcher: computes the log-mel energy profile of the clip,
compares it per-band to the VAE's normalization means (DATA_MEAN_80D/128D),
and applies a smooth STFT-domain gain correction to match the codec's training
distribution. Configurable strength and max_gain_db clamp. RMS-preserving.

Recommended workflow: SpectralMatcher → HfSmoother → feature extraction.

  decode+vocode to mirror the exact path the sampler takes
- Apply generator.normalize() → unnormalize() around the encoded latent so the
  decoder receives latents in the same space it expects from inference

EthanfelandClaude Sonnet 4.6 57fae4a8ce chore: default timestep_mode back to uniform
logit_normal reaches lower loss but perceptual improvement over uniform
is dataset-dependent. Keeping uniform as default to match original MMAudio
training behavior; logit_normal remains available as an option.

EthanfelandClaude Sonnet 4.6 8e919c0459 fix: resolve relative and Unix-style output_dir paths to ComfyUI output folder
On Windows, /folder is drive-relative (no drive letter) rather than a real
absolute path. Redirect these to ComfyUI's output directory so files don't
land at C:\folder. Also redirects plain relative paths (e.g. lora_output)
to output/ instead of the process working directory.
