m3ultra b6f0d76619 Texture stage: tex SLAT + PBR decode, and the bake order that makes it tractable
The texture flow is imgshape2tex - it denoises 32 PBR channels while SEEING the shape
latent, so in_channels is 64 against out_channels 32. Upstream feeds the shape latent
as concat_cond and the model does sparse_cat([x, concat_cond], dim=-1); both share
coords, so it reduces to a channel concat. Added to slat_flow and carried on the
sampler (it is fixed for the whole trajectory and must reach BOTH CFG branches).

Verified running on the real checkpoints: 3,988,052 PBR voxels x 6 channels in 65.8s
(base_color 0:3, metallic 3:4, roughness 4:5, alpha 5:6).

Two things here fail SILENTLY rather than loudly, so both are asserted in comments:

1. shape_slat arrives DENORMALISED - the shape stage un-standardises it for the
   decoder - but the texture flow was trained against the standardised form. It is
   re-normalised before use as concat_cond. Skipping that gives a plausible mesh with
   wrong colours, not an error.
2. tex_dec has pred_subdiv=False: it cannot invent subdivisions and must be handed the
   shape decoder's subs as guides, so texture voxels land on the geometry that was
   actually built.

The decoder's output is mapped * 0.5 + 0.5 into [0,1], the range o_voxel expects.

BAKE ORDER. Handing o_voxel the raw ~8M-face mesh hangs - the same wall the standalone
remesh test hit (killed at 20min), and the trellis2 lane's own operator note says the
uncapped bake peaks at 75GB. So the mesh is welded, stripped of floaters and decimated
BEFORE baking; the baker samples the attribute VOLUME at mesh positions, so a
decimated mesh still gets correct colours. Measured on the way through:

  welded      3,988,052 -> 3,983,672 verts
  floaters           12 components -> 1 kept, 6,332 faces dropped
  decimated   7,996,876 -> 214,322 faces
  pre-bake    34.6s

That floater count is worth noting: 12 components, not the 52,855 the first health
pass reported. Welding first is what makes the difference.

remesh now defaults OFF in to_glb, unlike upstream. Upstream runs on CUDA; this is the
CPU/Metal build and its remesher took >20 minutes on a 214k-face mesh. It is also
handed an already-clean mesh, so there is far less for it to fix.

Operator gains texture + texture_size params; geometry-only stays the default because
it is ~3min against the textured path's extra flow and bake.

"""Pixal3D stage wiring for MLX.
What runs today: the STRUCTURE stage, end to end on Metal —
noise -> ss_flow (Euler sampling) -> latent -> ss_dec -> occupancy grid
What is still missing for a real image->3D run is the conditioning, not the models.
Pixal3D conditions on DINOv3 features in two forms:
global : [B, M, 1024] pooled image tokens, cross-attended
proj : [B, N, 1024] VIEW-ALIGNED features, one token per spatial position,
projected and ADDED rather than attended
The `proj` half is the actual novelty — it back-projects pixel features into 3D through
the camera, which is what keeps silhouettes exact. Producing it needs the DINOv3 encoder
plus Pixal3D's `DinoV3ProjFeatureExtractor` camera logic.
Deliberate design note: DINOv3 is a stock ViT-L/16 run ONCE per image, not inside the
25-step denoising loop, so it is not worth porting to MLX — torch on MPS runs it fine and
using `transformers` gives exact parity with upstream for free. The effort belongs in the
30-block DiT loops, which are already here and verified. Note facebook/dinov3 is gated;
upstream itself falls back to the ungated `camenduru` mirror.
