The LoRA alias is used as the diffusers PEFT adapter name, and PEFT rejects names
containing "." (module name can't contain "."). sanitize_alias kept dots, so a LoRA whose
filename carries a version tag (e.g. Qwen-Image-2512-Lightning-8steps-V1.0-bf16) failed to
apply with a 400. Replace dots too; the alias stays a valid native <lora:NAME:w> filename
stem. Adds regression coverage for internal dots.
Add community LoRA support across both diffusion backends, the single
biggest step toward broad image-workflow coverage.
Backend
- New shared module core/inference/diffusion_lora.py: adapter discovery
(local scan + curated catalog + owner/name[:file] Hub refs), download
via hf_hub_download_with_xet_fallback, alias sanitization, native
managed-dir materialization with collision-broken aliases, prompt-tag
injection (deduped against user-typed tags), and a supports_lora gate.
- Native sd-cli: resolve + materialize selected LoRAs into a per-run
managed dir, inject <lora:ALIAS:w> tags, pass --lora-model-dir with
--lora-apply-mode auto. The arg builder already emitted these flags.
- Diffusers: non-fused load_lora_weights + set_adapters manager, tracked
on the pipe so an unchanged selection is a no-op and a model swap
resets; cleared on unload. Never fuses (breaks quantized transformers
and blocks live weight tweaks).
- Gated off where unsupported: torchao fp8/int8 dense, GGUF-via-diffusers,
and native Qwen-Image (no LoRA name-conversion branch upstream).
- Request contract: optional loras on DiffusionGenerateRequest; empty or
omitted is identical to today. supports_lora surfaced in status; chosen
LoRAs persisted in gallery recipe metadata.
- New GET /api/models/diffusion-loras for the picker (family-filtered).
Frontend
- Repeatable multi-LoRA picker (adapter select + weight slider 0..2 +
remove), gated by the loaded model's supports_lora and family, max 8.
Tests
- New test_diffusion_lora.py (14): helpers, request validation, native
tag/dir wiring, diffusers set_adapters manager, supports_lora matrix.
