2026-08-28 ve2e ISUP unified API audit
Audited the unified ViT branch APIs that should replace stale ISUP inference code.
Work Done
- Compared
origin/feat/isup-inference:src/ve2e/inference/isup.py with origin/merge-unify-vits-into-cleanup-vits.
- Identified the typed frozen config APIs, self-contained EMA checkpoint helpers, shared Lightning forward path, DinoFlex output processors, logits normalization, and classification grading metrics to reuse.
- Reported stale field names and imports. No project files were edited.
Lessons Learned: Pitfalls
- The inverse workstream has no SOP index, although the mandatory startup workflow expects one.
- Existing inference examples mix raw EMA loading and Lightning checkpoint loading, so they are not all safe templates for self-contained EMA inference.
Lessons Learned: Improvements
- Add a short inverse inference SOP that names the canonical config, checkpoint, forward, and metric APIs after the cleanup branch lands.
