Several image/video/training preflights ran before the route acquires the GPU or
frees resident models, but let a doomed local pick through and only failed deep in
the background load, after the user's chat/Images/Video model was already evicted.
- Local base_repo / base_model: _is_trusted_diffusion_repo accepts any existing
local path, but the base loads via from_pretrained (needs model_index.json). A
local dir that is not a diffusers pipeline passed the trust gate, evicted the
resident model, then failed. Add a shared _assert_local_base_is_pipeline check
and call it in the image, video, and training preflights.
- Dataset images: discover_image_caption_pairs only checked filenames, so a
corrupt or zero-byte upload passed the start-route preflight, freed the GPU, then
crashed the spawned trainer in PIL. Add an opt-in verify_images decode probe
(cheap PIL header check) that the start route enables; the trainers leave it off
since they decode every image anyway.
- Local single-file safetensors: the On-Device scanner advertises a bare
.safetensors directory (no model_index.json) as a text-to-image model, but the
picker starts it as a pipeline with no filename, so every click 400s. Reinterpret
such a pick as a single_file load of the sole checkpoint (resolve_local_single_file)
so the advertised model is actually loadable.
Regression tests for each: local non-pipeline base (image/video/training), the
verify_images decode gate, and resolve_local_single_file.
