-## What your report must include
-
-We receive a high volume of reports. To be triaged, a report **must** follow the structure below. Copy this block into your submission and fill in every field. Reports missing the version, the proof of concept, or the impact are returned as incomplete and are not investigated until provided.
-
-```markdown
-### Summary
-
-One sentence: what the vulnerability is and where.
-
-### Affected version / commit
-
-Exact released version or commit SHA you reproduced on (e.g. v4.57.0 / a1b2c3d).
-Not "latest" or "main".
-
-### Affected component
-
-The public API, module, or entry point involved (e.g. `AutoModel.from_pretrained`).
-
-### Vulnerability class
-
-Type and CWE if known (e.g. deserialization / CWE-502, path traversal / CWE-22).
-
-### Attack vector & preconditions
-
-- How is the vulnerable code reached? (which API call / input / config)
-- Who is the attacker and what do they control?
-- What must be true for the attack to work? (auth, a user action, a non-default
-  setting, a malicious file being loaded, etc.)
-
-### Proof of concept
-
-A minimal, self-contained script or step sequence that runs on a clean install
-of the version above. Include:
-
-- the exact commands / code to run,
-- any input files needed (attach them, or give a script that generates them),
-- the **expected** behavior vs. the **actual** behavior you observed.
-  A snippet showing that a function _exists_ or _could_ be misused is not a PoC.
-
-### Impact
-
-What an attacker gains in a realistic deployment. "Could theoretically…"
-without a working chain is not an impact.
-
-### Scope
-
-Which trust boundary (see below) does this cross? If your finding touches
-anything in the "Out of scope" list, name which item and explain why it is
-nonetheless a violation of a guarantee we make.
-
-### Suggested severity (optional)
-
-We assign the final severity. Include a CVSS v3.1 vector only if you have one.
-
-### Suggested fix (optional)
-```
-
-> [!NOTE]
-> The bar is a **reproducible PoC against a supported version, with a concrete impact that crosses a trust boundary we actually defend** (see scope below). Reports that are theoretical, auto-generated by a scanner or LLM, or that restate documented behavior will be closed without detailed review.

-## Threat model & trust boundaries
-
-`lerobot` is tightly coupled to the Hugging Face Hub for sharing data and pretrained policies. When downloading artifacts uploaded by others, you expose yourself to risks. Please read below for recommendations to keep your runtime and robot environment safe. We _will_ treat as a vulnerability anything that breaks one of these protections — e.g. code executing despite `safetensors`-only loading, or a pinned revision being bypassed.
+`lerobot` is tightly coupled to the Hugging Face Hub for sharing data and pretrained policies. When downloading artifacts uploaded by others, you expose yourself to risks. Please read below for recommendations to keep your runtime and robot environment safe.
 
 ### Remote Artefacts (Weights & Policies)
 
-Models and policies uploaded to the Hugging Face Hub come in different formats. We heavily recommend uploading and downloading models in the [`safetensors`](https://github.com/huggingface/safetensors) format. `safetensors` was developed specifically to prevent arbitrary code execution on your system, which is critical when running software on physical hardware/robots. To avoid loading models from unsafe formats (e.g., `pickle`), you should ensure you are prioritizing `safetensors` files.

 ### Remote Code
 
-Some models or environments on the Hub may require `trust_remote_code=True` to run custom architecture code. Please **always** verify the content of the modeling files when using this argument. We recommend setting a specific `revision` (commit hash) when loading remote code to ensure you protect yourself from unverified updates to the repository.
+Some models or environments on the Hub may require `trust_remote_code=True` to run custom architecture code.
 
-## In scope
-
-We treat as vulnerabilities issues in the **published package code** — the library's own API surface — that an attacker can trigger without the victim having opted into a documented risk. For example:
-
-- code execution, memory corruption, or file access reachable through a normal API call on input that is **not** an untrusted model/artifact the user chose to load;
-- a control we advertise being bypassed (e.g. code running despite `safetensors`-only loading, or a pinned revision being ignored);
-- exposure or mishandling of credentials, tokens, or another user's data by the library;
-- a real escape from a backend we document as a sandbox;
-- CI/CD or supply-chain issues in this repository.
-
-## Out of scope
-
-The following are **not** treated as vulnerabilities in `lerobot`. If your finding touches one of these, the report must explain why it is nonetheless a violation of a guarantee we make — otherwise it will be closed.
-
-- Issues that require loading an untrusted artifact and amount to the documented load-time risk above (code execution / file access on load of a malicious model, dataset, config, or pickle).
-- Findings in `examples/`, documentation, tests, or other non-packaged reference material.
-- Local denial-of-service from feeding pathological input to a function on your own machine (high memory, slow parse, panic), absent a multi-tenant or remote-service impact.
-- Model behavior: jailbreaks, alignment failures, prompt injection, or harmful generations. Model weights are authored by their uploaders; report these to the model owner.
-- Vulnerabilities in third-party dependencies we do not vendor — report upstream (we'll bump once fixed).
-- Theoretical issues without a working proof of concept, and reports auto-generated from scanners or LLMs without a verified, reproducible chain.
-- Best-practice or hardening suggestions with no demonstrated impact — missing email-authentication or transport records (MTA-STS, TLS-RPT, DMARC/SPF tuning), missing HTTP security headers, TLS configuration preferences, and similar scanner or config-checker output presented without a working exploit chain.
-
-## Safe harbor
-
-Good-faith research that respects these guidelines, avoids privacy violations and service disruption, and gives us a reasonable disclosure window will not be pursued by us. Do not access data that isn't yours and do not run tests against Hugging Face production infrastructure.

-### Avoid copying a modeling file — subclass it
-
-If your policy needs to modify a backbone that already exists in `transformers` (custom conditioning, extra inputs, a swapped sub-module), **do not vendor a copy of its `modeling_*.py`**. Instead, subclass the smallest upstream unit and override only what changes. [`pi_gemma.py`](https://github.com/huggingface/lerobot/blob/main/src/lerobot/policies/pi_gemma.py) is the canonical reference: it injects AdaRMS conditioning into PaliGemma/Gemma in ~370 lines by subclassing `GemmaModel`/`PaliGemmaModel` and overriding the decoder-layer forward, instead of forking the ~2,000-line modeling file. Model surgery on a _loaded_ native model is also fine (layer truncation, tokenizer expansion, hidden-state capture — see `evo1/internvl3_embedder.py`, `eo1/modeling_eo1.py`, `groot/groot_n1_7.py` for working examples). Reviewers will ask for this pattern when a PR arrives with a copied modeling file; the only accepted exception is a model that does not exist in `transformers` at all.

+Spawns one single-GPU ``h200`` job that:
+
+  1. installs ``lerobot`` from ``main`` plus the annotation extras,
+  2. boots one vllm server with Qwen3.6-27B (dense VLM),
+  3. runs the plan / interjections / vqa modules across the dataset
+     in free-form mode (each episode generates its own subtasks +
+     memory),
+  4. uploads the annotated dataset to ``--new_repo_id`` (when set)
+     or back to ``--repo_id``.
+
+Usage:
+
+    HF_TOKEN=hf_... uv run python examples/annotations/run_hf_job.py
+
+Adjust ``CMD`` (dataset, model, hub repo) and ``flavor`` below for your
+run. For larger datasets, scale to ``h200x4`` and raise

-Granularity — segment by completed events, not by motion:
-- Start a NEW segment whenever the world state changes: an object is
-  grasped, lifted, transported, placed, or released; a held object
-  changes; a drawer/door/lid/container opens or closes; contents move
-  between containers (poured); a tool starts or stops acting on a
-  surface. Watch the gripper open/close transitions — they usually mark
-  boundaries.

-  part of the place).
-- Do NOT merge separate completed events. Each distinct pick, place,
-  open, close, pour, push, wipe, or insert is its own segment, even when
-  they repeat on different objects or locations.
-- Most segments last 2-10 seconds. Shorter segments are okay ONLY for
-  fast pick / place / open / close / release events. Never emit a
-  segment shorter than {min_subtask_seconds} seconds; merge a too-short
-  candidate into its neighbour instead.
-- Skip idle time, pure camera motion, and tiny hand jitter.
+{observation_block}GROUNDING — read this first, it overrides everything below:
+- Label ONLY what the robot actually does in the video. Every subtask
+  you emit must correspond to motion you can SEE in specific frames.
+- Do NOT invent, anticipate, or pad. If the robot only does one thing
+  (e.g. it just navigates to a location and the clip ends), emit
+  EXACTLY ONE subtask. Many demonstrations are a single atomic skill.
+- ``max_steps`` below is a hard CEILING, not a target. Emitting fewer
+  subtasks than the ceiling is not just allowed, it is expected for
+  short / atomic demonstrations. One correct subtask is far better
+  than several invented ones.
+- If the video does not clearly show the action implied by the task,
+  describe what you actually see — do NOT fabricate the task's steps
+  from the instruction text. The instruction tells you the goal; the
+  VIDEO is the ground truth for what happened.
 
-Labels — short imperative phrases:
-- One concise command naming the action and the manipulated object, e.g.
-  "pick up the red cup", "put the cup on the shelf", "open the top
-  drawer", "pour water into the glass", "insert the plug into the
-  socket".
-- Include source, destination, side, direction, or the final
-  open/closed state when it is visible and central to the event.
-- Prefer these verbs (extend only when none fits): pick up, put, place,
-  push, pull, turn, press, open, close, pour, insert, wipe, stack.
-  Disambiguate by what you SEE:
-    * STACK vs PUT: object placed ON TOP OF another object -> "stack".
-    * INSERT vs PUT: object pushed INTO a fitted slot/hole/socket -> "insert".
-    * PICK UP vs PUT (direction): gripper CLOSES and object moves WITH
-      the hand -> "pick up"; gripper OPENS and object stays -> "put".
-    * POUR vs PUT: source is tilted and contents flow -> "pour".
-- Use the exact object nouns implied by the task; stay consistent across
-  the episode (don't switch "cube" to "block").
-- Write imperative commands, never third person ("the robot ..."), and
-  drop articles/adverbs.
+Authoring rules — Hi Robot atom granularity, pi0.7-style short prompts:
 
-Timing:
-- Use the burned-in timestamps to set start and end. Boundaries should
-  land on or near a printed time, and every [start, end] must lie within
-  [0.0, {episode_duration}] seconds, be non-overlapping, and cover the
-  episode in order.
-- Emit at most {max_steps} segments.
+- Each subtask = one COMPOSITE atomic skill the low-level policy can
+  execute end-to-end. A "skill" bundles its own approach motion with
+  its terminal action — do NOT split the approach off as its own
+  subtask. The whole-arm policy already learns to reach as part of
+  every manipulation primitive.
+- Write each subtask as an IMPERATIVE COMMAND, starting with one of
+  these verbs (extend only when none fits):
+    pick up <obj>           — approach + grasp + lift in one subtask
+    put <obj> on/in <loc>   — transport + release in one subtask
+    place <obj> on/in <loc> — synonym of "put"; pick one and stay consistent
+    push <obj>              — contact + linear shove
+    pull <obj>              — contact + linear retract
+    turn <knob/dial/handle> — rotary actuation
+    press <button>          — single-press contact
+    open <drawer/door/lid>  — full open motion
+    close <drawer/door/lid> — full close motion
+    pour <src> into <dst>   — tilt + flow
+    insert <obj> into <slot>— alignment + push-fit
+    go to <loc>             — ONLY when no grasp / actuation follows
+                             (e.g. a pure relocation between phases).
+                             If the next subtask grasps something at
+                             that location, drop "go to ..." and just
+                             write "pick up ..." instead.
+- Forbidden ultra-fine splits — the VLM is NOT allowed to emit these
+  as standalone subtasks; fold them into the parent composite:
+    "move to X"   → fold into "pick up X" (or whatever follows)
+    "reach for X" → fold into "pick up X"
+    "grasp X"     → fold into "pick up X"
+    "lift X"      → fold into "pick up X" (or "put X on Y" if it's
+                    the transport phase of a place)
+    "release X"   → fold into "put X on Y" (or "place X in Y")
+- Keep it SHORT — a verb phrase, not a sentence. Drop articles
+  ("the", "a") and adverbs ("carefully", "slowly"). Add a "how"
+  detail (which hand, which grasp point) ONLY when it is needed to
+  disambiguate. Every subtask must begin with one of the verbs
+  above (no leading nouns, no "then", no "first").
+- NEVER use third person. Never write "the robot", "the arm", "the
+  gripper moves", "it picks up" — the robot is implied. Command it,
+  do not describe it.
+- Use the exact object nouns from the task above. If the task says
+  "cube", every subtask says "cube" — never switch to "block". If it
+  says "box", never switch to "bin"/"container". Keep vocabulary
+  consistent across the whole episode.
+- Good: "pick up blue cube", "put blue cube in box", "open drawer",
+  "turn red knob", "press start button", "go to sink".
+- Bad: "move to blue cube" (approach as its own subtask — forbidden,
+  must be folded into "pick up blue cube"); "the robot arm moves
+  towards the blue cube" (third person, too long); "carefully pick
+  up the cube" (adverb, article); "release the yellow block"
+  ("block" when the task said "cube", and "release" must be folded
+  into a "put"/"place" subtask).
+- Subtasks are non-overlapping and cover the full episode in order.
+  Choose the cut points yourself based on what you see in the video
+  (gripper open/close events, contact, regrasps, transitions).
+- Each subtask spans at least {min_subtask_seconds} seconds. If a
+  candidate span would be shorter, merge it into its neighbour
+  rather than emitting it.
+- Do not exceed {max_steps} subtasks total. Fewer, larger composites
+  are preferred over many micro-steps.
+- Every subtask's [start_time, end_time] must lie within
+  [0.0, {episode_duration}] seconds.
+
+SPECIAL CASES — verb disambiguation (each rule is narrowly visual and
+fires ONLY on the spatial situation it names; it must not change how you
+label any other situation):
+- STACK vs PUT: if an object is placed ON TOP OF another specific object
+  (not on a flat table / shelf / counter), use "stack ... on ...", not
+  "put". "stack blue book on green book", NOT "put blue book on table".
+- INSERT vs PUT: if an object goes INTO a fitted slot / hole / socket /
+  receptacle (push-fit), use "insert ... into ...", not "put".

-``lerobot-gpu`` image, and installs lerobot on top before running.

-flags — everything except the client-only ``--job.*`` and the host-local

+    Args:
+        vocab_size (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 152064):

+            `inputs_ids` passed when calling [`Qwen2_5_VLModel`]

+            Number of attention heads for each attention layer in the Transformer encoder.
+        num_key_value_heads (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 8):
+            This is the number of key_value heads that should be used to implement Grouped Query Attention. If
+            `num_key_value_heads=num_attention_heads`, the model will use Multi Head Attention (MHA), if

+            paper](https://arxiv.org/pdf/2305.13245.pdf). If it is not specified, will default to `32`.
+        hidden_act (`str` or `function`, *optional*, defaults to `"silu"`):
+            The non-linear activation function (function or string) in the decoder.
+        max_position_embeddings (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 32768):
+            The maximum sequence length that this model might ever be used with.
+        initializer_range (`float`, *optional*, defaults to 0.02):
+            The standard deviation of the truncated_normal_initializer for initializing all weight matrices.
+        rms_norm_eps (`float`, *optional*, defaults to 1e-05):
+            The epsilon used by the rms normalization layers.
+        use_cache (`bool`, *optional*, defaults to `True`):
+            Whether or not the model should return the last key/values attentions (not used by all models). Only
+            relevant if `config.is_decoder=True`.
+        tie_word_embeddings (`bool`, *optional*, defaults to `False`):
+            Whether the model's input and output word embeddings should be tied.
+        rope_theta (`float`, *optional*, defaults to 1000000.0):
+            The base period of the RoPE embeddings.
+        use_sliding_window (`bool`, *optional*, defaults to `False`):
+            Whether to use sliding window attention.
+        sliding_window (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 4096):
+            Sliding window attention (SWA) window size. If not specified, will default to `4096`.
+        max_window_layers (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 80):

+            The dropout ratio for the attention probabilities.
+        vision_config (`Dict`, *optional*):
+            The config for the visual encoder initialization.
+        rope_scaling (`Dict`, *optional*):
+            Dictionary containing the scaling configuration for the RoPE embeddings. NOTE: if you apply new rope type
+            and you expect the model to work on longer `max_position_embeddings`, we recommend you to update this value

+                    `factor` field to infer the suggested value.
+                `beta_fast` (`float`, *optional*):
+                    Only used with 'yarn'. Parameter to set the boundary for extrapolation (only) in the linear
+                    ramp function. If unspecified, it defaults to 32.
+                `beta_slow` (`float`, *optional*):

+                `short_factor` (`List[float]`, *optional*):

-Qwen2.5-VL's native non-Flash vision path splits a packed image sequence into
-Python-level chunks before calling attention. Wall-X batches many camera frames,
-so that path launches thousands of tiny attention operations per training step.
-This module keeps the native SDPA path as a portable fallback and adds a packed
-``torch.nn.attention.varlen`` path that consumes Qwen's existing ``cu_seqlens``
-metadata directly.

+        enable_checkpoint (`bool`, *optional*, defaults to False):
+            Whether to enable checkpointing.
+        dim_embed (`List[int]`, *optional*, defaults to [256, 512, 1024, 2048]):
+            The dimension of the embedding layer.
+        num_heads (`List[int]`, *optional*, defaults to [8, 16, 32, 64]):
+            The number of attention heads.
+        num_groups (`List[int]`, *optional*, defaults to [8, 16, 32, 64]):
+            The number of groups.
+        depths (`List[int]`, *optional*, defaults to [1, 1, 9, 1]):
+            The depth of the model.
+        window_size (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 12):
+            The window size of the model.
+        projection_dim (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 1024):
+            The dimension of the projection layer.

+    [facebook/bart-large](https://huggingface.co/facebook/bart-large) architecture.
+
+    Configuration objects inherit from [`PretrainedConfig`] and can be used to control the model outputs. Read the
+    documentation from [`PretrainedConfig`] for more information.
+
+
+    Args:
+        vocab_size (`int`, *optional*, defaults to 51289):

+        dropout (`float`, *optional*, defaults to 0.1):
+            The dropout probability for all fully connected layers in the embeddings, encoder, and pooler.
+        attention_dropout (`float`, *optional*, defaults to 0.0):
