- Upstream repo hardcodes the pretrained Mamba path to
/home/wy/MambaNUT-master/pretrained_models/mambar_small_patch16_224.pth. - The README says
requirement.txt, but the repository shipsrequirements.txt. - Nighttime training assets and tracker checkpoints are linked through Baidu NetDisk only.
- No independent third-party reproduction was confirmed during the initial scan.
