"""Layout ablations of one checkpoint, every variant in one pass over the videos. Each video is decoded and encoded once, exactly as vbe/infer.py does (same frames, same encoder rows); the variants only change which frames are kept, how they are grouped, and what a compressed group becomes: coverage (long videos) a video with more 1 fps frames than the variant's cap keeps ``cap`` evenly spaced frames; every other video keeps the baseline layout rho cap B // R, laid out by the baseline's hybrid rule: fewer frames, more of them raw. rho16 caps at the most frames whose adaptive tf-4 groups all fit (4 * B/64 - 1), i.e. pure qbase at 16 tokens/frame. rho32-128 then fill the budget: the greedy rule can overshoot by one 8-frame group (up to ~30% of B unused at 4096), so compressed groups go back to raw, most-changing first, while they still fit. rho32nf rho32 without that fill step (does the fill matter?) qtf cap k * B/64 - 1 (k = 1: B/64), every frame compressed in adaptive tf-k groups: lighter compression (64 / k tokens per frame), no raw low64 cap B // 64, every frame raw at <= 64 rows (re-encoded) compressor (baseline plan, every compressed group swapped for ONE raw frame of <= 64 rows, the qbase's own K, in the raw-frame text format) sel_resize the group's middle frame re-encoded at the small grid sel_merge the group's middle frame's encoder rows area-pooled to that grid mean_merge the group's mean encoder rows area-pooled to that grid grouping (uniform cuts, same count N = T//tf + 1, instead of the adaptive segmenter) uni8 baseline coverage uni16 rho16 coverage compression order hivar the hybrid rule compresses the MOST-changing groups first (the baseline: the least-changing), change measured as Phase-3 training ranks raw segments (compressor._hybrid_raw_segments: a 1-frame group's change is its step from the previous frame); training sent the least-changing segments raw, so this is the order that matches it A (question, budget, variant) whose LLM input is identical to the baseline's (same frames, plan and raw grid, qbase rows) is not re-run: the baseline record is copied with ``reused: true``.
