Optimization Process Notes

Standing rules

• Always git pull --ff-only before changing the repo.
• Prefer practical gains over clever complexity.
• Do not claim "optimal" when the evidence is still thin; "best current" is acceptable.
• Prefer removing dead branches, duplicated wiring, and stale custom-node clutter.

Current weekly review priorities

1. flux2klein
2. zimage

5. category masters in:
   • image-edit
   • image-to-video

   • text-to-image

Current repo split

• models/ = collected originals and community finds
• optimized/ = maintained masters
• optimized/notes/ = accumulated reasoning and unresolved questions

What to record after each Sunday review

• Which optimized categories changed
• Which source workflows influenced the update
• What was removed
• What was kept
• What still needs Monday testing
• The parameter-level change record for any promoted workflow: positive prompt, negative prompt, CFG, steps, sampler, scheduler, seed, denoise, resolution, checkpoint/model path, VAE, LoRAs, ControlNets, and any meaningful node rewiring
