    Takes an IMAGE batch and returns the same batch, except:
      - removes the FIRST image (index 0)
      - removes the LAST image  (index B-1)

    Output = images[1:-1]

    Notes:
      - If the batch has fewer than 3 images (B < 3), removing both ends would
        produce an empty/invalid batch, so this node returns the original batch.
      - If a single image comes in as [H, W, C], it is treated as a batch of 1.
