Studio macOS: faster startup, MLX self-heal, drop obsolete prebuilt pins (#6494)
* Studio: defer llama.cpp update probes and self-heal MLX on macOS

Two macOS startup problems shared one root area in the FastAPI lifespan:

- The llama.cpp capability + freshness probes ran inline before the server
  yielded, so a cold/slow/flaky network on the GitHub freshness check blocked
  'Application startup complete' (~34s on CI, longer in the field). Move both
  probes to a daemon thread; app.state stays None until ready (status routes
  already re-probe at request time). Opt out with UNSLOTH_DISABLE_UPDATE_CHECK=1.

- Train and Export were greyed out because mlx/mlx-lm/mlx-vlm arrive only
  transitively and a resolver backtrack silently drops them, so CHAT_ONLY stayed
  true. Add utils/mlx_repair.py: when Apple Silicon is detected without MLX,
  reinstall mlx/mlx-lm/mlx-vlm by name on a daemon thread and re-run hardware
  detection (opt out UNSLOTH_DISABLE_MLX_AUTOREPAIR=1). Surface a chat_only_reason
  in /api/health plus a sidebar tooltip so a greyed Train/Export explains itself
  instead of failing silently.

* Studio: guard model defaults against a None model name

load_model_defaults(None) called model_name.lower() with no guard, raising
'Error loading model defaults for None' before any model is selected. Return
an empty dict for a falsy/non-str name.

* Studio: drop obsolete upstream macOS + Windows Blackwell prebuilt pins

Both pins worked around gaps in ggml-org upstream prebuilts, but Studio now
routes every GPU host and all of macOS to the unslothai/llama.cpp fork
(published_repo_for_host), which ships the needed bundles, so both pins are
dead code on the default install path:

- macOS b9415: macOS always routes to the fork (its own macOS bundles), and
  host_supports_macos_minos() is the backstop. The pin only fired under an
  explicit --published-repo ggml-org override.
- Windows Blackwell b9360: Windows-NVIDIA routes to the fork, whose
  windows-x64-cuda13 bundle covers Blackwell (manifest max_sm 120, toolkit
  13.3), so the pin's self-disable check makes it dormant on every default
  install; it could only activate under the same upstream override on a
  13.0-13.2 driver.

Remove the pin constants, functions, and call sites. Keep the Blackwell
capability detection (_drop_blackwell_incapable_windows_cuda, _host_is_blackwell,
_windows_cuda_attempt_covers_blackwell) that still drops a non-sm_120 cuda-12.4
build on a Blackwell host. After this, an explicit --published-repo ggml-org
override on a Blackwell 13.0-13.2 host loses its GPU fallback and lands on CPU;
the default fork path is unaffected. Update the install selection-logic and
macOS-compat unit tests for the new no-pin behavior.

* Studio: walk back deeper on the macOS upstream prebuilt path

After removing the b9415 macOS pin, the explicit --published-repo ggml-org
upstream path still used the default 2-release fallback, so a pre-macOS-26 host
behind a run of macOS-26-only builds would exhaust two too-new plans (minos is
only checked post-download) and drop to a source build before reaching a
loadable older release. Walk back as deep as the fork macOS path
(DEFAULT_MAX_MACOS_RELEASE_FALLBACKS), turning the removed static pin into
dynamic discovery. Addresses review feedback on the macOS upstream fallback.

* Studio: pin transformers during MLX self-heal so it cannot break Studio

mlx-lm/mlx-vlm declare transformers>=5, but the single-env install pins
transformers==4.57.6. The self-heal used --upgrade with no constraint, so it
could upgrade transformers in the live venv and break the rest of Studio just to
make import mlx.core pass. Pin transformers to the installed version via a
constraint file: the resolver either finds an mlx build compatible with it or
fails (we stay chat-only), never upgrading transformers underneath Studio.
Addresses review feedback on the MLX repair install.

* Studio: harden MLX self-heal against an unsupported mlx-vlm

Pinning transformers alone made uv backtrack mlx-vlm to 0.3.9 (below unsloth-zoo's
mlx-vlm>=0.4.4), which imports but breaks VLM Train/Export -- so the self-heal
could clear chat-only onto a broken stack. Mirror the main installer: set
UV_OVERRIDE=overrides-darwin-arm64.txt so a current mlx-vlm coexists with the
transformers pin, require the same minimum versions unsloth-zoo declares, and
gate/validate on a full mlx_stack_available() check (not a bare import) so an
old or partial stack stays chat-only. Addresses PR review.

* Studio: filter Blackwell-incapable CUDA in resolve_upstream_asset_choice

resolve_upstream_asset_choice returned the first windows-cuda choice unfiltered,
so a Blackwell host could be handed an sm_120-incapable cuda-12.4 build while the
sibling planners drop it. Apply _drop_blackwell_incapable_windows_cuda here too
and fall through to the CPU bundle on a Blackwell host with no capable GPU asset.
Addresses PR review.

* Studio: re-poll health so MLX self-heal reaches an open UI

The sidebar cached the initial /api/health, so a successful background MLX
self-heal (chat_only flips false) did not re-enable Train/Export until a manual
reload. While chat-only for the recoverable mlx_unavailable reason, re-poll
/api/health and stop once Train/Export become available. Addresses PR review.

* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks

for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci

* Studio: make the disabled Train/Export tooltip reachable

The greyed Train/Export items pass a tooltip explaining why (e.g. MLX missing),
but a disabled <button> fires no pointer events and SidebarMenuButton only showed
tooltips while collapsed, so the explanation never appeared. Wrap a disabled
button in a focusable span and show its tooltip while expanded too; enabled items
keep the collapsed-only behavior. Addresses PR review.

* Studio: gate Train/Export on the full MLX stack, not bare mlx.core

detect_hardware enabled MLX training whenever `import mlx.core` worked, but the
MLX self-heal (utils/mlx_repair) treats a stack without mlx-lm/mlx-vlm at the
versions unsloth-zoo requires as inadequate. That asymmetry let the UI enable
Train/Export on exactly the partial/backtracked stack the self-heal is trying to
repair (greyed-in-but-broken VLM export). Gate on the same mlx_stack_available()
criterion so a partial stack stays chat-only (reason mlx_unavailable) and the
background repair restores it. Addresses PR review.

* Review fixes: isolate hardware-state test, robust transformers pin

- test_chat_only_reason.py: detect_hardware() assigns module globals directly,
  which monkeypatch does not revert; the autouse fixture now saves and restores
  DEVICE/CHAT_ONLY/CHAT_ONLY_REASON/IS_ROCM so a chat-only verdict here cannot
  leak into other backend tests (e.g. test_utils.py) on a GPU host.
- mlx_repair.py: read the transformers version from importlib.metadata instead of
  importing transformers, so the install pin is not silently dropped when
  transformers has valid metadata but fails to import.

* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks

for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci

* Fix CI: model full MLX stack in dispatch tests, keep selection test offline

dispatch (macOS) job:
- detect_hardware now gates MLX on the full stack (mlx_stack_available imports
  mlx_lm/mlx_vlm and checks dist versions), so faking only mlx.core makes the
  apple_silicon_mlx profile resolve to CPU. The dispatch tests assert the routing
  decision when the stack IS usable, so model a complete stack:
  test_hardware_dispatch_matrix patches utils.mlx_repair.mlx_stack_available and
  test_is_mlx_dispatch_gate patches hardware._has_usable_mlx_stack. The stack
  predicate's own internals stay covered by test_mlx_repair.py.

Repo tests (CPU) job:
- test_no_cuda_attempt_on_published_path_for_13_1 fell through to a live
  github_release_assets() upstream fetch after the Blackwell filter dropped every
  published attempt, which the offline security scanner blocks. Stub that fetch so
  the walk-back deterministically finds no usable CUDA build and raises
  PrebuiltFallback without network.

* [pre-commit.ci] auto fixes from pre-commit.com hooks

for more information, see https://pre-commit.ci

* Harden MLX self-heal: prepare transformers constraint inside the try

attempt_mlx_repair runs on a daemon thread, but _transformers_constraint_args was
called before the try. A failure there (e.g. tempfile.mkstemp on a full disk or a
bad TMPDIR) would propagate unhandled and silently kill the self-heal thread.
Move the call inside the try and initialize constraint_path so any such failure
is caught and leaves Studio chat-only instead of crashing the thread.
