Without sparse attention, the model uses full (dense) attention which attends to distant irrelevant information, causing ghosting artifacts. The FlashVSR paper explicitly requires block-sparse attention. Vendored from SageAttention team (Apache 2.0), pure Triton (no CUDA C++). Import chain: local sparse_sage → external sageattn.core → SDPA fallback. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
