Mode 2 enhancement — local modules return to the shared master pipeline
By this point the graph has completed base generation. The production pattern now becomes clear: local branches do not replace the master image permanently; they perform bounded work and return a standard result to the next shared refinement stage.
PEOPLE and detail modules converge before main FLUX
A local module needs a clear RETURN contract
A good module performs one responsibility and returns a standard data type understood by the next stage. This makes it possible to replace the PEOPLE implementation without rewriting the entire downstream pipeline.
Main FLUX acts as a refinement stage here, not a new composition generator
The scene after PEOPLE/detail transfer is encoded to latent by 67 and passes through FLUX with stored denoise 0.18. The low denoise reflects an intended refinement role; actual preservation of specific objects still requires comparison.
Check survival after every return
- Compare before/after PEOPLE.
- Compare before/after detail transfer.
- Compare 459/573 with decode 53 after main FLUX.
- Do not accept a beautiful final image if a local architectural error appeared earlier.
