Hand Tie Clips — multi-hop MiniMax H3 video + audio, one queue

3.4.0: one continuous take- New pin_mech: sand_tie: a whole run of hops renders as one video, so there are no joins to see; a take only cuts at anchor: restart. Tested on a 2-minute song-locked MV, a two-person scene that changes place, and walking selfies. It needs a recent ComfyUI.- Retake one hop: only that hop is redrawn, and the rest of the take is kept.- tone_lock: stops long takes drifting brighter (0.5 / 0.75 / full).- Upsampler: small, distant faces are redrawn as close-ups so they keep their person, and long clips no longer run out of RAM.- Writer: new rules and notes for lines said together, sounds written inside a line, talking while eating, and camera arcs.- Tooltips: every input now has a short, plain one.Saved graphs still load.
