"""Extended-251 videos for the Causal-Forcing-a single-block Predictors.

Same protocol as generate_eval.py: work is sharded by prompt, FFFF is generated
first in the same process and kept as the pixel-metric reference, every strategy
sees the identical noise draw, and the per-prompt record has the layout
aggregate.py / run_vbench.py expect.

Strategies (prefix ``cfa`` = Causal-Forcing-a stack):

    cfa_ffff                      reference, 28 full DiT forwards
    cfa_<model>_fpff              chunks 1..6: F P F F   (22 full +  6 Predictor)
    cfa_<model>_fppf              chunks 1..6: F P P F   (16 full + 12 Predictor)
    cfa_<model>_fppp              chunks 1..6: F P P P   (10 full + 18 Predictor)

where <model> is one of atc_chunk, atc_last_frame, disca (Stage-1 Layer-17
Predictors) or atc_chunk_s2 (Stage-2 DMD EMA).  Chunk 0 is always fully denoised.
``<model>@<step>`` selects another checkpoint of that run and names the strategy
cfa_<model>_s<step>..., e.g. ``disca@500`` -> cfa_disca_s500_fppf; a bare model
uses --checkpoint-step (default 2000) and the unsuffixed name.

    cfa_naive2step                chunks 1..: the 2-step subset of the grid (t = 1000 / 250,
                                  the same subset as cf_naive2step_c0FFFF), no Predictor
