## Summary
Sampling a long SeedVR2 video in one pass runs out of VRAM: the DiT working set grows linearly with latent frames times pixel area, so a 100 frame clip at 4x upscale needs more memory than any consumer card has. This PR adds two workflow-level nodes that split the latent into overlapping temporal chunks and recombine the sampled chunks with a Hann crossfade. The executor's list handling runs the stock KSampler once per chunk, so the sampler itself is untouched.
- **Chunk SeedVR2 Latent** splits the latent on the temporal axis. `frames_per_chunk` is in pixel frames on the 4n+1 grid, `temporal_overlap` sets how many latent frames adjacent chunks share, and `chunking_mode=auto` solves the chunk size from measured free VRAM and the latent's own dimensions. The node outputs the effective overlap so the merge is wired, not typed.
- **Merge SeedVR2 Latent Chunks** recombines the sampled chunks in order, crossfading each shared region with a Hann window (flat shoulders on the outer thirds, fade across the middle third). Zero overlap is a plain concatenation, bit-identical to `torch.cat`.
## Changes
- Added 2 nodes and 1 crossfade helper to `comfy_extras/nodes_seedvr.py` (+201 lines).
- Added 4 chunk-law constants to `comfy/ldm/seedvr/constants.py` (+10 lines).
- Added pytest unit tests in `tests-unit/comfy_extras_test/test_seedvr2_temporal_chunk.py` (+66 lines): chunk geometry, 4n+1 and mode validation, overlap clamping, temporal noise mask slicing (5-D and 4-D), the auto law including batch scaling, crossfade weights and blend direction, round trip, and metadata handling.
Everything outside the two new nodes is byte-identical to the base branch. The new constants are read only by the chunk node, and workflows that do not use these nodes take no new code path.
## Auto mode calibration
The auto law is `max_latent_frames = (free_GiB - reserved - margin) / (0.30 * megapixels)`, calibrated on an RTX 5090 (32 GB) with the 3b fp16 model: a 17-cell resolution sweep plus temporal bisection located the activation wall and confirmed it is linear in latent frames times pixel area (the same total-voxel budget holds from 1.5:1 through 24:1 aspect ratios and under transposition). The margin is four standard deviations of the measured run-to-run spread, which costs about one latent frame of chunk size and makes an out-of-memory failure a lottery ticket rather than a coin flip. Manual mode bypasses the law entirely.
On a 32 GB card, a 640x480x100 input at 4x upscale sampled as a single chunk allocates past 31 GiB and dies; auto mode picks 49 frame chunks (three chunks with overlap) and the full pipeline completes in about 240 seconds. The same law stands down on small inputs: a 320x240x100 clip runs as a single chunk because it fits.
## Example workflow
Load a video, 4x upscale, auto chunking, temporal overlap 3. Expected output for a 640x480x100 input: 2560x1920, 100 frames, seams invisible at the default overlap.

## Prior art
- Reference implementation: https://github.com/ByteDance-Seed/SeedVR
- Community precedent for temporal chunking with blended reassembly: https://github.com/numz/ComfyUI-SeedVR2_VideoUpscaler
Chunk boundaries are a mathematical compromise: the model attends within a chunk, so different chunkings produce different outputs. The overlap crossfade hides the seam; power users can widen or zero the overlap from the workflow.
* Initial HiDream01-image support
* Cleanup nodes
* Cleaner handling of empty placeholder models
* Remove snap_to_predefined, prefer tooltip for the trained resolutions
* Add model and block wrappers
* Fix shift tooltip
* Add node to work around the patch tile issue
Experimental, runs multiple passes with the patch grid offset and blends with various different methods.
* Qwen35 vision rotary_pos_emb cast fix
* Fix embedding layout type
* Some small optimizations
* Cleanup, don't need this fallback
* Prefix KV cache, cleanup
Bit of speed, reduce redundant code
* Get rid of redundant custom sampler, refactor noise scaling
Our existing lcm sampler is mathematically same, just added the missing options to it instead and a node to control them. Refactored the noise scaling and fix it for the stochastic samplers, add a generic node to control the initial noise scale.
* Update nodes_hidream_o1.py
* Fix some cache validation cases
* Keep existing sampling params
* Remove redundant video vision path
* Replace some numpy ops with torch
* Fx RoPE index for batch size > 1
* Prefer torch preprocessing
* Rename block_type to be compatible with existing patch nodes
* Fixes and tweaks
* initial WanDancer support
* nodes_wandancer: Add list form of chunker.
Create an alternate list form of the node so the chunk gens can be

* Closer match to original soxr resampling
* Remove librosa node
* Cleanup
