SpectrumKSamplerModGuidance Common Errors and Solutions:

RuntimeError: Model missing model_channels

• Explanation: This error occurs when the model being used does not have the required model_channels attribute, which is necessary for the modulation guidance process.
• Solution: Ensure that the model you are using is compatible with the Spectrum KSampler framework and includes the model_channels attribute. If necessary, update or replace the model with a compatible version.

ValueError: Adapter weight shape mismatch

• Explanation: This error indicates a mismatch between the shape of the adapter weights and the expected model channels, which can disrupt the modulation guidance process.
• Solution: Verify that the adapter being used is compatible with the model's architecture. Check the adapter's weight shape and ensure it matches the model's expected input dimensions. If needed, adjust the adapter or select a different one that aligns with the model's requirements.
