Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Added support for generating images with the Iris-3B model.
  • Added setup and usage instructions, including model download links and a Windows command-line example. Note that image dimensions must be multiples of 16, and captions are limited to 300 tokens.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds Iris-3B support with Qwen3-VL prompt conditioning, a pixel-space diffusion model and runner, pipeline configuration, and usage documentation.

Changes

Iris-3B support

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Iris model architecture src/model/diffusion/iris.hpp	Adds Iris configuration detection, attention and processing blocks, model construction, image rotary embeddings, and runner inference.
Iris prompt conditioning src/conditioning/conditioner.hpp	Selects Qwen3-VL for Iris. Adds prompt suffix tokenization, optional output-mask generation, and Iris-specific prompt and hidden-state settings.
Inference and pipeline integration src/model.h, src/model_loader.cpp, src/pipeline/model_builders.cpp, src/pipeline/diffusion_engine.cpp, src/model/vae/vae.hpp	Adds Iris model identification and runner construction. Sets Iris diffusion and output handling, including the fake VAE path and scale factor.
Usage documentation README.md, docs/iris.md	Lists Iris-3B as a supported model and documents model downloads, a Windows CLI example, and usage constraints.

Merge Risk

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to f4a8b

Long prompts with some supported tokenizers can lose part of the required Iris prompt template. The change is mergeable with owner awareness, though correcting the token budget before merge is preferable.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to f4a8b

The main unresolved risk requires loading a specially prepared file, rather than ordinary prompt text. Some file-derived sizes lack a complete validation contract, although normal input shapes and concurrent requests have existing controls. Practical exploitation or data disclosure was not demonstrated.

Retained concerns

• Medium · security · inferred: Checkpoint-derived pixel attention dimensions are not constrained to the divisibility required by the new positional-buffer generator. Some even dimensions produce fewer initialized floats than the backend tensor's requested transfer length, potentially bringing uninitialized reserved storage into execution. This is an introduced contract gap with conditional security consequences, not a verified disclosure: ordinary defaults are compatible, inconsistent weights are rejected, and downstream rejection before transfer remains unresolved.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The identified contract risk requires influence over a checkpoint loaded into the native inference process. The supported scope is that process and its backend buffers; remote reachability, tenant sharing, and wider service exposure are not established.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

• inferred — A crafted, shape-consistent checkpoint could select a pixel attention head dimension incompatible with the initialized positional-buffer length. Backend transfer uses the tensor byte count rather than the vector's initialized length. Whether graph validation blocks the transfer, and whether any resulting values become externally observable, remain unresolved.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — The in-repository Iris prompt path supplies a hard-coded suffix and a locally owned mask. Caller prompt text remains conditioning data; the inspected path does not grant it tool, credential, or command authority.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — The existing public-context guard rejects concurrent or reentrant operations on the same context. Its execution scope ends runners on completion, while graph guards handle sequential graph failure cleanup. These controls counter a new same-context buffer race through the supported public API; direct external use of internal runner methods remains outside inspected coverage.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Validate checkpoint-derived head dimensions and their divisibility relationships before constructing the runner, and bind backend transfers to explicitly checked initialized buffer lengths. Reject unsupported configurations through the existing recoverable construction-error boundary.

- Around line 2190-2203: Update the suffix truncation logic in
LLMEmbedder::tokenize to reserve both the encoded suffix and any BOS/EOS tokens
that Tokenizer::pad_tokens will add before resizing the caption tokens and
weights. Use the tokenizer’s special-token count, and return an empty result if
the combined reserved length exceeds max_length.
