anima_closeout v8: the un-masked smoke crash was ModuleNotFoundError: hyvideo — utils/patches.py imported hyvideo.text_encoder unconditionally at module level while CELL 0 (correctly) initializes only the ComfyUI submodule. Fixed in the fork (5f37138: guarded import, patch skipped when absent; verified by execution both ways). CELL 0 now asserts the guard is present before any spend.
