- Fix critical import: use `from modules.components import make_components`
instead of `from modules.components.components` so the @register
decorator fires and the model can be instantiated
- Use separate venv (venv-bimvfi) to avoid dependency conflicts with
RIFE/FILM — basicsr-fixed/cupy/lpips can break the shared venv
- BimVfiEnv now creates its own venv with PyTorch, independent of RIFE
- Remove dead code: dis0/dis1/scale_factor/ratio/nr_lvl_skipped kwargs
are silently ignored by model's **kwargs, and get_scale_factor/
get_pyr_level were computing unused values
- Use model's trained pyr_level=3 (set at construction) instead of
overriding to 5-7 at inference which was untested
- Use `python -m pip` and `python -m gdown` instead of direct binaries
for cross-platform reliability
- Add checkpoint size validation (>1MB) on download
- Verify torch importable in is_setup() instead of just checking files
- Update UI: BiM-VFI setup flow is independent, doesn't need RIFE first
