# Take the mask output token. Here we *always* use the token for single mask output.
# At test time, even if we track after 1-click (and using multimask_output=True),
# we still take the single mask token here. The rationale is that we always track
# after multiple clicks during training, so the past tokens seen during training
# are always the single mask token (and we'll let it be the object-memory token).
