The pose asset code path in the preview instance used to run its graph udpate in UpdateAnimation(), which meant that the regular scoped sync wasnt applied. Switching it to run in UpdateAnimationNode() means that everyting functions as normal.

[CL 15216418 by Thomas Sarkanen in ue5-main branch]
Added a new animation graph node that hosts its own UBlendSpaceBase. Modified UBlendSpaceBase to allow for pose links to be evaluated as the sample points.
The new blend space graphs can be spawned from existing UBlendSpace and UBlendSpace1D assets, or they can be created from scratch, or they can be converted from existing blendspace player nodes via the context menu.
Fixed anim node conversion functions so that their transactions work correctly.
Updated FBlueprintEditorUtils::IsGraphNameUnique to allow it to work with any object as the outer, not just UBlueprint. UBlueprint still has a special case for functions and events. This is to support GenerateUniqueGraphName within a scope (e.g. an outer graph).
Formalized the concept of 'node sub-graphs' (as well as the composite node pattern a little). Previously a number of known node types that contained sub-graphs (e.g. UK2Node_Composite) had special case logic for dealing with node/graph deletion etc. Now any node can opt into this behaviour via the GetSubGraphs() override.
Added status bar readouts for the blendspace grid, so we dont have to stuff the prompts into the tooltip any more.
Moved anim BP related APIs out of FBlueprintEditor. They are always used via FAnimationBlueprintEditor.
Refactored graph title bar widget creation out into a function to allow other document tab factories to create it.
Altered breadcrumb trail click callbacks and SMyBlueprint::ExecuteAction to always JumpToHyperLink rather than calling OpenDocument directly. This allows unknown (to FBlueprintEditor) document types that reference objects to be correctly jumped to using the breadcrumb trail. Derived asset editors (i.e. FAnimationBlueprintEditor) can intercept the JumpToHyperlink call to ensure that the correct document is presented (i.e. the correct tab payload is generated).
Instead of making yet another bunch of duplicated code for handling the various alpha blend options, refactored this into FAnimGraphNodeAlphaOptions (for editor code) and FAnimNodeAlphaOptions (for runtime code).
Added OnCopyTermDefaultsToDefaultObject for per-node copying of default values from editor node to runtime node, rather than another special-case in the compiler.

+ Introduced UAnimDataModel, this currently represents the source data for bone and curve animation. It contains:
+ Bone animation tracks (FBoneAnimationTrack)
+ Key data (coarse)
+ Name
+ Bone tree index
+ Curve data (FAnimationCurveData)
+ Float Curves
+ Transform Curves
+ Play length
+ Sampling rate
+ Used for deriving the expected number of keys/frames when combined with the PlayLength
+ Transient data for supporting backwards compatibility APIs
+ (Dynamic) delegate which broadcasts the mutation Notifies
+ Introduced UAnimDataController, this has sole authority over mutating data contained by UAnimDataModel
+ API functionality allows to transform the contained data in all ways currently expected in the engine.
+ Any mutation will add an undo/redo-able FChange object into the transaction buffer
+ FChangeTransactor helper object allows for keeping track of (compounded) FChange's and inserting them into GUndo
+ Broadcasts change notifies alongside a payload object containing details about the change
+ Interested systems/objects can register to these changes through UAnimDataModel::OnModelModified event
+ Almost all functionality is exposed to both Blueprint and Python scripting
+ Allows for opening 'Brackets', these define the beginning and end of a chain of mutations. Allowing anything registered to OnModelModified to halt responding to the notifies until the (top-level) bracket is closed
+ Undo/redo actions
+ Each mutation to the UAnimDataModel is covered by a 'Action' which is based of FChange and is used to insert a undo/redo-able operation into the transactions buffer
+ Introduced EAnimDataModelNotifType and per-notify payload types. These are used to update views, and any model derived data
+ Introduced FAnimationCurveIdentifier, exposed to scripting, this is used for referencing a curve by name and type when passed to the controller
+ Allows for targetting a specific RichCurve as part of a TransformCurve
+ Introduced FAnimationDataNotifyCollectorused for keeping track of which notifies of type EAnimDataModelNotifType are broadcasted between top-level EAnimDataModelNotifType::BracketOpened and EAnimDataModelNotifType::BracketClosed notifies
+ Added CanTransact to UEngine, returns whether or not a transaction can be made
+ Added UAnimCompositeBase::SetCompositeLength, used for runtime changing of play length value
+ Animation Sequence helpers, containing 'helper' functionality for both AnimSequence and AnimDataModel
* Animation Sequence Base
+ virtual PopulateModel, called during upgrade path for converting existing (legacy) data to the new UAnimDataModel data

+ Uses AnimationCurveIdentifier to set Transform's per-channel tracks
* RichCurveEditorModelNamed conformed to model/controller
+ Any modifications are applied to an temporary CurveType which always contains a copy of the const-ptr after any previous mutation
+ Registers to the outer AnimModel's notify event, used for updating the cached curve data
+ Registers to CurveModifiedDelegate, used for copying the temp curve data to the model using SetCurveKeys
* Not-ideal but point that I got to for V1
* Would be replaced with either refactoring FRichCurve to be MVC like, or by calling UAnimDataController functionality from an implementation of FRichCurveEditorModel
* Mark FChange overrides as final for swap/command change permutations
* Changed FCompoundChange GetDescription to return concatenation of all sub-changes
* Added GetDescription to FTransaction which returns the ToString() value of any contained FChange entries.
* Entries in SUndoHistory tab now have a ToolTip showing the GetDescription() value
+ FChangeTransactor helper object allows for keeping track of (compounded) FChange's and inserting them into GUndo
* Deprecation handling, conforming code to new APIs and exposing structure/objects/properties to scripting
* Conforming AnimSequence importing from FBX to Model/Controller changes
[CL 15106211 by Jurre deBaare in ue5-main branch]
Refactored tick record sync into utility structure - FAnimSync. This improves the odd API around tick records, better encapsulating functionality and leaving less for the caller to get wrong. This will also eventually allow this to be refactored out into a scriptable pipeline stage.
Added sync node and scoped sync message for new 'graph based sync'. Nodes that subscribe to graph-based-sync determine their sync group based on the scope that they are in.
Removed 4.26-style sync scopes - pushed all syncing up to the main anim instance. Linked anim instances no longer sync their own tick records.
To make graph based sync more useful, surfaced graph attributes and their visualizations as labels on pins and parallel wires to visualize flow.
This involves statically determining the attribute flow of the graph at compile time. Added a new compiler handler to deal with this new debug data.
Updated a lot of nodes to specify their attributes so graph flow can be correctly visualized.
Added tracing of attributes and sync records and visualization of traced records when debugging the anim graph.

+ Pose feature vector API
+ FPoseSearchFeatureVectorLayout
- Explicit description of a pose feature vector (FV)
- Determined by options set in a UPoseSearchSchema and owned by the schema. See UPoseSearchSchema::GenerateLayout().
+ FPoseSearchFeatureDesc
- Describes each feature of a vector, including data type, sampling options, and buffer offset.
- New data types introduced (previously only positions were supported)
- Could potentially be extended in the future to support externally registered features, but that's not the goal for now.
+ FFeatureVectorBuilder
- Helper object for writing features into a float buffer according to the layout
- Keeps track of which features are present, allowing the FV to be constructed piecemeal
+ FFeatureVectorReader
- Helper object for extracting features. Presently only used for debug rendering.
+ UPoseSearchDatabase
- A data asset for indexing a collection of animation sequences
- Support added for searching the collection and returning the matching sequence with time offset
+ Pose matching refactoring
- Setup no longer requires an animation modifier or a special graph node
+ UPoseSearchSequenceMetaData
- Replaces UPoseSearchIndexConfig and UPoseSearchIndex
- Counterpart to UPoseSearchDatabase for a single animation instead of a collection
- Simply add to sequence metadata, fill it out, and save
+ IPoseSearchProvider
- Modular feature interface that replaces the need for AnimGraphNode_PoseMatchingSequencePlayer
- The PoseSearch plugin now registers itself as an implementer of IPoseSearchProvider
- AnimGraphNode_SequencePlayer now detects if a pose search provider exists and offers optional pose matching support
- Currently exposed as checkbox in an "experimental" section of the node's settings
+ Other cleanup/refactoring
+ Namespacing
- Pulled all non-UCLASS/USTRUCTs into a UE::PoseSearch namespace
- Renamed PoseSearchDetail namespace to UE::PoseSearch::Private per standards
+ UPoseSearchSchema is no longer an animation asset
- This was a kludge to get the bone reference UI to work
- Now it's a data asset and implements IBoneReferenceSkeletonProvider
- Removed related asset type actions and factory
+ FPoseSearchIndex replaces bits of UPoseSearchIndex
- Has narrower scope and is shared by UPoseSearchSequenceMetaData and UPoseSearchDatabase
+ Odds n' ends
- Removed FPoseSearchBuildQueryScratch. FPoseHistory now owns memory required for taking samples.
- Debug drawing reworked in terms of FV API
- Added a.PoseSearch.DrawSearchIndex console command to render the search index of any animation sequences currently open in the editor
- Removed Blueprint function library for building search indices since animation modifiers are no longer needed
