//! Qwen-Image VAE decoder for single-image inference.
//!
//! The upstream Qwen-Image VAE is a 3D causal autoencoder fine-tuned from Wan VAE.
//! For still-image generation (`T = 1`), the decoder can be specialized to a 2D path:
//! the causal 3D convolutions only see the current frame and the temporal upsample
//! path is inactive on the first frame. This lets us decode image latents without
//! porting the full video encoder stack.
