+### 🧪 Training Stability (Research-Backed)
+
+Every training decision is backed by published research to prevent failure:
+
+| Problem | Prevention Mechanism | Paper |
+|---------|---------------------|-------|
+| Loss explodes | Grad clip (1.0) + LR warmup + zero-init output | DiT |
+| Loss oscillates | Cosine annealing + Min-SNR-γ weighting | [arXiv:2303.09556] |
+| Bad batch spikes | Pseudo-Huber loss + auto spike detection | [arXiv:2403.16728] |
+| Attention NaN | QK-RMSNorm prevents softmax saturation | SnapGen |
+| Modules interfere | Staged freeze/unfreeze per module | DreamLite |
+| Gradient vanishing | Residual connections + AdaLN everywhere | Standard |
+| Memory OOM | Gradient checkpointing + AMP + small micro-batch | Standard |
+| Training stalls | Gradient variance monitoring → auto LR reduction | Novel |
+| Style collapse | Trained separately before joint fine-tuning | USO |
+| High-freq artifacts | Art-aware frequency-weighted loss | Novel |

+### 📚 5-Stage Training Pipeline
+
+```
+Stage 1: Base Generation (50K steps)  → Backbone learns denoising
+Stage 2: Style Matrix   (25K steps)  → Disentangled art style learning
+Stage 3: Resolution     (25K steps)  → Scale to 1024px + enable reasoning
+Stage 4: Concept & Mood (15K steps)  → Scene understanding + emotion
+Stage 5: Quality SFT    (5K steps)   → Human preference alignment
+```
+
+All stages designed for **Colab T4 / Kaggle P100** (single free GPU):
+- Batch size 2 × gradient accumulation 32 = effective batch 64
+- Mixed precision (bf16/fp16)
+- Gradient checkpointing
+- Progressive resolution
