Peter 484278e70e Rewrite pipeline: resumable embed, byte-dedup, extend, dedup report
- embed: sha256-based dedup at listing (embed each unique hash once, carry
  other paths as aliases via a top-level path_aliases dict); resumable from
  any existing cache; atomic incremental flush every 50 files; explicit
  skip-ext filtering; schema bumped with processed_paths + path_aliases.
- extend: new subcommand that merges new embeddings into an existing raw +
  facesets output without renumbering. Nearest person-centroid match above
  threshold, unmatched faces re-clustered into new person_NNN / _singletons.
  Optional --refine-out also extends facesets by centroid + quality gate.
- dedup: new subcommand producing byte-identical + visual near-duplicate
  groups as a JSON report.
- cluster/refine: fan every placement across canonical + aliases so each
  on-disk location gets represented.
- safe_dst_name now always flattens the absolute path so filenames stay
  stable across runs when src_root shifts (fixes duplicate-copy bug that
  surfaced during the lzbkp_red extend).

# face-sets
Sort photos by similar face using InsightFace embeddings + agglomerative clustering, then refine into faceset-ready folders for downstream face-swap tooling (roop-unleashed, etc.).
## Pipeline
`sort_faces.py` is a single-file CLI with four subcommands:
| step | what it does |
|---------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| embed | Recursively scan a source tree, detect + embed every face, write `.npz` cache |
| cluster | Raw agglomerative clustering of the cache into `person_NNN/` / `_singletons/` / `_noface/` |
| refine | Initial cluster → centroid merge → quality gate → outlier rejection → size filter → `faceset_NNN/` |
| dedup | Post-hoc near-duplicate report: byte-identical groups + visual near-dupes (same face + same size within a tight cosine threshold) |
`embed` is resumable and incremental: it loads any existing cache at the target path and only hashes/embeds files it hasn't processed before. A periodic flush (default every 50 new files) writes the cache atomically, so a mid-run crash loses at most a few dozen embeddings.
Byte-identical duplicates are detected via sha256 during the listing phase. The canonical file is embedded once; other paths with the same hash are carried as `aliases` on the cache's top-level `path_aliases` dict. Every alias is materialized by `cluster`/`refine`, so each on-disk location ends up represented in the output.
Cache and outputs are kept out of the repo via `.gitignore`; defaults live under `work/`.
## Typical run
```bash
# 1. Embed (CPU; InsightFace buffalo_l). Caches faces + metadata. Resumable.
python sort_faces.py embed /mnt/x/src/nl work/cache/nl_full.npz
# 2. Raw clusters (every multi-face cluster -> a person_NNN/ folder).
python sort_faces.py cluster work/cache/nl_full.npz /mnt/e/temp_things/fcswp/nl_sorted/raw_full
# 3. Refined facesets (filters for faceset-ready quality).
python sort_faces.py refine work/cache/nl_full.npz /mnt/e/temp_things/fcswp/nl_sorted/facesets_full
# 4. (Optional) report on byte-identical + visual near-duplicates.
python sort_faces.py dedup work/cache/nl_full.npz
```
## Refine defaults
| flag | default | meaning |
|---|---|---|
| `--initial-threshold` | 0.55 | cosine distance for stage-1 clustering |
| `--merge-threshold` | 0.40 | centroid-level merge of over-split clusters |
| `--outlier-threshold` | 0.55 | drop face if cosine dist from cluster centroid exceeds this (only if cluster ≥ 4) |
| `--min-faces` | 15 | minimum unique images per faceset |
| `--min-short` | 90 | minimum short-edge pixels of face bbox |
| `--min-blur` | 40.0 | Laplacian-variance blur gate |
| `--min-det-score` | 0.6 | InsightFace detector score gate |
| `--mode` | copy | copy / move / symlink |
## Prior runs (as of 2026-04-22)
- `work/cache/kos11.npz` — 181 images, 333 faces from `Kos '11/``kos11_sorted/`
- `work/cache/nl_all.npz` — 916 images, 1396 faces from `Neuer Ordner (2)/New Folder/``nl_sorted/raw/`, refined to 6 facesets (197, 120, 91, 47, 23, 18 images)
Output lives outside the repo at `/mnt/e/temp_things/fcswp/`.
