ComfyUI workflow advice: save the image before making it

Asked to order five ComfyUI operations. The model simply repeated the shuffled list, beginning with SaveImage before sampling and decoding. It also ignored the requested arrow format. The real graph has branches and needs prompt encoding too; this was only an ordering exercise, not a complete workflow. Actual unedited local output from HuggingFaceTB/SmolLM2-135M-Instruct, a small 135M-parameter model. Transformers 5.6.2; greedy decoding; maximum 384 new tokens. System prompt: You are a helpful AI assistant. This is one small-model attempt, not a general benchmark.
