Output parameters — the output stage is part of the production contract

The final image is not the end of engineering. You need to know which branch is actually saved, which branch merely exists in the graph, which branch is bypassed, and what LQ/HQ output means in the current state.

CONFIRMEDThe source graph confirms active save 730 from decode 53. The HQ/upscale/overlay chain is present, but processing nodes 832–851 and associated sizing logic are stored in bypass mode 4.

HANSEN ORIGINAL

In the saved state, the provably active output is node 730

OutputUpstreamState
730 · LQ1 JPGDecode 53Active route
531 · HQ PNGUpscale 833Save node exists; upstream bypassed
293 · LQ2 JPGOverlay 849Save node exists; upstream bypassed
15 · Final PreviewOverlay 849Preview exists; upstream bypassed
BEGINNER FOUNDATION

OUTPUT = format + size + branch + filename + state

It is not enough to say “the workflow saves PNG.” You need to know which branch supplies the image, whether it passed through upscale, whether overlays were applied, and the execution state of upstream nodes.

OPTIONAL MODULE

Upscale is a separate module, not a mandatory part of generation

The graph contains Ultimate Upscale 833 with model 4x-UltraSharp, tile logic and optional detail transfer 834. This module can be bypassed without changing the logic of previous stages.

This is an important production lesson: delivery-resolution processing should be detachable from content-generation processing.

PASS CRITERIA

You should be able to answer: what exactly will be saved right now?

If the answer comes only from the name of a Save node, the output contract is not yet understood. Trace its upstream route to the last active processing checkpoint.
