Use --no-deps for ALL packages (unsloth, unsloth-zoo, and runtime deps)
since the current PyPI metadata for unsloth still declares torch as a
hard dependency. Runtime deps (typer, pydantic, safetensors,
transformers, etc.) are installed from no-torch-runtime.txt with
--no-deps to prevent transitive torch resolution from accelerate, peft,
trl, and sentence-transformers.
no-torch-runtime.txt now includes unsloth's own direct deps (typer,
pydantic, pyyaml, nest-asyncio) since --no-deps skips those too.
install.sh installs no-torch-runtime.txt directly (via helper function
_find_no_torch_runtime). install.ps1 does the same via
Find-NoTorchRuntimeFile. SKIP_STUDIO_BASE stays at 1 to avoid setup.sh
fast-path issues.
install_python_stack.py NO_TORCH branch does the same for unsloth
studio update, using package_name instead of hardcoded "unsloth".
The [huggingfacenotorch] extras only exist in pyproject.toml but are
NOT published on PyPI, so uv pip install "unsloth[huggingfacenotorch]"
fails on fresh installs from the registry.
Fix: add studio/backend/requirements/no-torch-runtime.txt with the
runtime deps (safetensors, transformers, datasets, accelerate, etc.)
that mirror [huggingfacenotorch] from pyproject.toml. In no-torch mode:
1. install.sh/ps1 install unsloth + unsloth-zoo with --no-deps
2. SKIP_STUDIO_BASE=0 so install_python_stack.py's NO_TORCH branch runs
3. install_python_stack.py installs no-torch-runtime.txt
