When triggered by pull_request_review_comment, actions/checkout lands
on the PR head and fetch-depth=1 means origin/main isn't tracked, so
the follow-up `git checkout origin/main -- .ai/` fails with exit 128.

When porting a model, grep for `float64` / `double()` up front and resolve as follows:
+    - **Default: just use `torch.float32`.** For inference it is almost always sufficient -- the precision difference in RoPE angles, timestep embeddings, etc. is immaterial to image/video quality. Flip it and move on.

+      freqs_dtype = torch.float32 if (is_mps or is_npu) else torch.float64
+      ```

+## Gotchas
+
+1. **Importing from standard pipelines.** The modular and standard pipeline systems are parallel — modular blocks must not import from `diffusers.pipelines.*`. For shared utility methods (e.g. `_pack_latents`, `retrieve_timesteps`), either redefine as standalone functions or use `# Copied from diffusers.pipelines.<model>...` headers. See `wan/before_denoise.py` and `helios/before_denoise.py` for examples.
+
+2. **Cross-importing between modular pipelines.** Don't import utilities from another model's modular pipeline (e.g. SD3 importing from `qwenimage.inputs`). If a utility is shared, move it to `modular_pipeline_utils.py` or copy it with a `# Copied from` header.
+
+3. **Accepting `guidance_scale` as a pipeline input.** Users configure the guider separately (see [guider docs](https://huggingface.co/docs/diffusers/main/en/api/guiders)). Different guider types have different parameters; forwarding them through the pipeline doesn't scale. Don't manually set `components.guider.guidance_scale = ...` inside blocks. Same applies to computing `do_classifier_free_guidance` — that logic belongs in the guider.
+
+4. **Accepting pre-computed outputs as inputs to skip encoding.** In standard pipelines we accept `prompt_embeds`, `negative_prompt_embeds`, `image_latents`, etc. so users can skip encoding steps. In modular pipelines this is unnecessary — users just pop out the encoder block and run it separately. Encoder blocks should only accept raw inputs (`prompt`, `image`, etc.).
+
+5. **VAE encoding inside prepare-latents.** Image encoding should be its own block in `encoders.py` (e.g. `MyModelVaeEncoderStep`). The prepare-latents block should accept `image_latents`, not raw images. This lets users run encoding standalone. See `WanVaeEncoderStep` for reference.
+
+6. **Instantiating components inline.** If a class like `VideoProcessor` is needed, register it as a `ComponentSpec` and access via `components.video_processor`. Don't create new instances inside block `__call__`.
+
+7. **Deeply nested block structure.** Prefer flat sequences over nesting Auto blocks inside Sequential blocks inside Auto blocks. Put the `Auto` selection at the top level and make each workflow variant a flat `InsertableDict` of leaf blocks. See `flux2/modular_blocks_flux2_klein.py` for the pattern.
+
+8. **Using `InputParam.template()` / `OutputParam.template()` when semantics don't match.** Templates carry predefined descriptions — e.g. the `"latents"` output template means "Denoised latents". Don't use it for initial noisy latents from a prepare-latents step. Use a plain `InputParam(...)` / `OutputParam(...)` with an accurate description instead.
+
+9. **Test model paths pointing to contributor repos.** Tiny test models must live under `hf-internal-testing/`, not personal repos like `username/tiny-model`. Move the model before merge.
