The vocoder is loaded inside ComfyUI's torch.inference_mode(), making all
its parameters inference tensors. Autograd cannot save inference tensors
for backward even with requires_grad=True. Clone all parameters inside
torch.inference_mode(False) before training to get normal tensors.

mel_converter buffers (mel_basis, hann_window) are inference tensors
because the model was loaded inside ComfyUI's torch.inference_mode().
Operations on them propagate the flag to outputs. Clone both target_mel
and pred_mel to get normal autograd-compatible tensors. .clone() is
differentiable so the grad graph to vocoder parameters is preserved.

Clips loaded outside torch.inference_mode(False) are inference tensors.
Autograd cannot save them for backward. .clone() creates a normal tensor,
same fix pattern as selva_lora_trainer's dist.mode().clone().

Model loaded in bf16 causes mel_basis buffer to be bf16. Audio loaded
from disk is float32, causing matmul dtype mismatch. Cast all audio
tensors to model["dtype"] before passing to mel_converter/vocoder.

torchcodec/libavutil soname mismatch causes torchaudio to fail on every
file load, silently emptying clips. Add _load_wav() that tries torchaudio
first then falls back to soundfile (handles wav/flac without ffmpeg).

After the finally block, offload_to_cpu moves the vocoder to CPU while
ref_mel stays on GPU. Fix: detect vocoder's current device via
next(vocoder.parameters()).device and move ref_mel there before vocoding.

Saves baseline.wav (ground truth roundtrip before training), stepN.wav
at each save_every checkpoint, and final.wav after training completes.
All use the same fixed reference segment (clip 0, position 0) for
direct comparison across checkpoints.

44k variants use BigVGANv2 directly as the vocoder (no wrapper, no
@inference_mode decorator), accessible at feature_utils.tod.vocoder.
16k wraps BigVGANVocoder inside BigVGAN, accessed at .vocoder.vocoder.
Both trainer and loader now branch on model["mode"].

Spectral-loss-only fine-tuning of the BigVGAN vocoder (mel→waveform)
on BJ audio clips. DiT and VAE are completely frozen. Losses: mel L1
reconstruction + multi-resolution STFT magnitude L1 (same three
resolutions as the BigVGAN discriminator config). Saves in
{'generator': state_dict} format compatible with the original BigVGAN
checkpoint. Loader replaces vocoder weights in the loaded SELVA_MODEL
in-place so no full model reload is needed.
