* Add vision detection cache to is_vision_model() to avoid redundant subprocess spawns
is_vision_model() is called 4-5 times per training run for the same model
with zero caching. For transformers 5.x models, each call spawns a full
subprocess (~6s each). This adds a module-level _vision_detection_cache dict
following the same pattern as the existing _audio_detection_cache used by
detect_audio_type(). The function is refactored into a thin cache wrapper
around _is_vision_model_uncached(), saving ~12s per training run.

* Include hf_token in vision cache key for gated model correctness
Cache key is now (model_name, hf_token) instead of just model_name.
This prevents stale False results when an unauthenticated probe for a
gated model is followed by an authenticated call.
* Remove test file from main PR - will be submitted separately
* Fix vision cache: normalize model names and skip caching transient failures
- Normalize model names in cache key using resolve_cached_repo_id_case()
to avoid duplicate entries for different casings of the same HF repo
(aligns with case normalization from #4822)
- Return None instead of False on transient failures (network errors,
subprocess timeouts, HF API issues) so the cache layer can distinguish
"definitely not a vision model" from "failed to check"
- Only cache definitive True/False results; transient failures are retried
on the next call instead of being permanently locked in as False
* Refine failure handling: cache deterministic failures, guard normalization
- Subprocess non-zero exit, JSON errors, and general exceptions return
False (deterministic, cached) instead of None (retryable). Only
subprocess.TimeoutExpired returns None since timeouts are transient.
- Wrap cache key normalization in try/except so resolve_cached_repo_id_case
or normalize_path failures fall back to raw model_name instead of
crashing callers.
* Harden vision detection cache: fix transient failure handling, thread safety, token security
- All subprocess failure paths now return None (transient) instead of False,
preventing permanent misclassification of VLMs after temporary HF/auth/network errors
- Use SHA256 fingerprint for hf_token in cache key instead of raw bearer token
- Add threading.Lock with double-checked locking to prevent thundering herd
of concurrent subprocess spawns for the same uncached model
- Distinguish permanent failures (RepositoryNotFoundError, GatedRepoError,
ValueError) from transient ones in _is_vision_model_uncached
- Pass resolved/normalized model name to detection (not just cache key)
- Log normalization fallback at debug level instead of silent swallow
- Thread hf_token through callers in routes/models.py and trainer.py
that previously omitted it
* Refine lock strategy and token fingerprint
- Move detection computation outside the lock to avoid serializing
long-running subprocess spawns (60s timeout) and HF API calls across
all concurrent model checks. Lock is now only held for cache writes.
- Use full SHA256 digest for token fingerprint instead of truncated
16-char prefix to eliminate collision risk.
* Fix huggingface_hub import fallback and use atomic cache read
- Add fallback import path for RepositoryNotFoundError/GatedRepoError
from huggingface_hub.utils (older hub versions) when .errors is
not available
- Use sentinel-based dict.get() for single atomic cache read instead
of two-step in/[] pattern (future-proof for no-GIL runtimes)
