I've been experimenting with FLUX.1-Fill-dev lately and kept running into the same wall: the Fill model is great for mask-based edits, but there's no built-in way to feed it a ControlNet signal (depth, canny, pose, etc.) at the same time. So I built one. **The idea is simple:** FLUX Fill handles the mask-based edit, while ControlNet guides the structure using inputs like **depth, canny, pose, tile, blur, gray, or low-quality conditioning**. This makes the inpainting more controlled, especial
