* fix: handle Windows subprocess crash during dataset.map()
Windows uses spawn (not fork) for multiprocessing. Spawned workers
cannot resolve Unsloth's dynamically compiled cache modules from
unsloth_compiled_cache/, causing ModuleNotFoundError and RuntimeError
during dataset.map() tokenization.
Add two platform-guarded patches for sys.platform == "win32":
1. Force HF_DATASETS_MULTITHREADING_MAX_WORKERS=1 and set spawn method
2. Monkey-patch Dataset.map() to force num_proc=None
Fixes#4490

* address review: extend spawn fix to macOS, add multiprocess fallback
- Change platform checks from sys.platform == "win32" to
sys.platform != "linux" so macOS (also spawn-based) is covered
- Wrap multiprocess import in try/except falling back to stdlib
multiprocessing when the multiprocess package isn't installed
- Rename _win32_safe_map to _spawn_safe_map to reflect broader scope

* fix: replace global Dataset.map monkey-patch with targeted num_proc routing
The previous approach had issues: Patch 1 set HF_DATASETS_MULTITHREADING_MAX_WORKERS
and forced set_start_method (dead code on platforms already using spawn), and Patch 2
globally monkey-patched Dataset.map() (too broad, missed Dataset.filter()).
Replace with a two-layer fix:
1. Studio layer: Add dataset_map_num_proc() that returns None on spawn platforms
(Windows, macOS). Unlike num_proc=1 which still creates Pool(1) and spawns a
worker, num_proc=None runs Dataset.map()/filter() truly in-process.
Update all dataset.map() callsites to use it. ThreadPoolExecutor callers
(format_conversion.py) keep using safe_num_proc() since threads are unaffected.
2. Root-cause layer: Propagate UNSLOTH_COMPILE_LOCATION via PYTHONPATH on spawn
platforms so spawned workers can import compiled modules. Mirrors the .venv_t5
pattern in worker.py. Does not import unsloth_zoo.compiler (heavy torch/triton
imports). Completely skipped on Linux.
Also extend safe_num_proc() to return 1 on macOS (was only guarding Windows),
and narrow the transformers 5.x dataloader guard from != "linux" to explicit
("win32", "darwin").

* fix: add safe_thread_num_proc() for ThreadPoolExecutor callsites
safe_num_proc() correctly caps to 1 on macOS/Windows for process-based
multiprocessing, but format_conversion.py reuses it for ThreadPoolExecutor
workers. Threads share address space and are unaffected by spawn, so
capping to 1 makes image URL downloads sequential -- a real regression.
Add safe_thread_num_proc() that skips the platform guard but keeps the
cpu_count heuristic, and switch both ThreadPoolExecutor callsites in
format_conversion.py to use it.
* fix: remove double-wrap in dataset_num_proc + fix num_proc=1 in datasets route
- trainer.py:3009: Replace safe_num_proc(max(1, os.cpu_count() // 4))
with max(1, (os.cpu_count() or 1) // 4) to avoid double-wrapping
inside dataset_map_num_proc which already calls safe_num_proc
- trainer.py:15-20: Clarify comment on PYTHONPATH propagation
- datasets.py:445: Change num_proc=1 to num_proc=None for 10-row
preview slice (avoids unnecessary multiprocessing overhead)
* fix: guard os.cpu_count() against None in worker-count helpers
os.cpu_count() can return None on some platforms. Use (os.cpu_count() or 1)
to prevent TypeError in safe_num_proc() and safe_thread_num_proc().

Tier 1 check-format was picking images.zip over testmini.parquet,
causing wrong columns (image/label) and broken VLM mapping.
Also log first VLM conversion failure instead of swallowing silently.
- Detect and convert ShareGPT/ChatML conversations with <image> placeholders
- Add file_name/filename as image column keywords
- Detect image paths and URLs by value (string ending in .jpg/.png/etc)
Datasets like VQAonline store image filenames (e.g. "img.png") without
the directory prefix. Build a basename→repo_path lookup using
list_repo_files, then resolve each file via hf_hub_download.

- Add 200-sample parallel probe using ThreadPoolExecutor + safe_num_proc
to estimate download speed and failure rate before full conversion
- Abort with clear error if >=30% of probe images fail to download
- Show estimated download time in the training overlay modal
- Parallel batch conversion for URL-based datasets (vs sequential for local)
- Add warning field to /check-format response for URL-based image datasets
- Display URL warning in dataset preview dialog (amber banner)
- Thread progress_callback from trainer through format_and_template_dataset
to convert_to_vlm_format for real-time status updates
