You asked whether the four documentation pages were current. Three were not.

docs/NODES_VAE.md still said "tiled off is the default so no existing graph changes behaviour" - untrue since the default flipped to ON earlier today. Corrected, keeping the old reasoning rather than deleting it: off was chosen so that adding the node could not change a graph's output, which is a sound instinct that lost to a harder fact.

docs/NODES_IO.md described no on-node preview at all, so today's change had nowhere to live. It now has a section covering all three cases: the H.264 proxy with audio for a video container, the frame flipbook for a sequence, and the naive still.

docs/NODES.md gave one recipe for a review movie, through a separate OCIO Display. It now gives both routes, plus what neither said: doing both at once applies the output transform twice, and doing neither writes values above 1.0 into a container that clips them flat.

docs/NODES_COLOR.md needed nothing. The six colour operators did not change today, and I am saying so explicitly rather than leaving it unmentioned.

Documentation only, no code. Gate: 36 passed, 0 failed.

Checked all four documentation files against today's changes rather than
assuming they were current, and three had gaps.

docs/NODES_VAE.md still said "`tiled` off is the default so no existing graph
changes behaviour" - a plain untruth since the default flipped to ON. Corrected,
and the old reasoning is kept rather than deleted: off was chosen so adding the
node could not change a graph's output, which is a sound instinct that lost to a
harder fact, that whole-frame is the setting which runs out of memory on a real
clip and is slower even when it fits.

docs/NODES_IO.md described no on-node preview at all, so the new behaviour had
nowhere to be. It now has a section: a video container shows an H.264 proxy with
audio, a sequence of more than one frame flips through its own written files
through /ocio/thumb, a single still shows itself naively so a wrong colorspace
looks visibly wrong, and the sequence path carries no audio because a frame
sequence has none.

docs/NODES.md gave one recipe for a review movie, through a separate OCIO
Display node. It now gives both, plus the thing neither recipe said: doing both
at once applies the output transform twice, and doing neither writes values
above 1.0 into a container that clips them flat.

docs/NODES_COLOR.md needed nothing - the six colour operators did not change
today.

Gate: 36 passed, 0 failed.
