Five public threads, all reported_execution by their authors, show run-to-run or configuration-induced differences on one machine: batch size 1 vs 2 (diffusers 2659, three GPUs, SD 1.5), SDPA attention run-to-run (diffusers 3061), batch-size-dependent scheduler noise (diffusers 6222, resolved by per-image generators), fp8 + LoRA + dynamic VRAM (ComfyUI 15365, ~5-7/255 mean absolute difference, bit-identical without the LoRA, mechanism a hypothesis) and a cold-vs-warm server ordering effect on Apple MPS (ComfyUI 16879, pixel-identical within each state). Causes named by maintainers or reporters are claims; only the measured differences are the reporters' observations, and none was independently reproduced by us.

Curator qualifications: Curator located all evidence excerpts in the work copies (automated case-insensitive prefix match over decoded files). Five public reports are correctly labelled reported_execution; causes are as identified in-thread.

Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
