So:
pipeline handler to the IPA, if not, for a few line ?
Not a native speaker but the double comma doesn't really feel right
here.

Yes, took me a while to figure it out

Good catch!!
It's enough to run
# LIBCAMERA_IPA_FORCE_ISOLATION=1 cam -c1 --list-controls
[0:10:59.880617099] [11495] ERROR IPU3 ipu3.cpp:1201 Exposure control not initializaed by the IPA
Camera 1 not found
So we cannot use output parameters when running isolated IPA ?
That's quite a showstopper :(

And me as well :)

Thanks, let's see about the output parameter thing.
