- SECURITY: a request-supplied local pre-quant path is now unpickled only when it
resolves inside an operator-configured ALLOWLIST of directories
(UNSLOTH_ALLOW_LOCAL_PREQUANT_PATH = dir[:dir...]). The previous boolean opt-in,
once enabled for one trusted checkpoint, allowed torch.load(weights_only=False) on
any path a load request named (arbitrary code execution). realpath() blocks symlink
escapes; a bare on/off toggle is no longer a wildcard.
- Validate the checkpoint's min_features against the runtime Linear filter, so a
checkpoint that quantised a different layer set is rejected instead of silently
loading a model that mismatches the dense path while reporting the same scheme.
- Tolerant base_model_id compare (exact or same final path/repo segment), so a local
path or fork of the canonical base is accepted instead of falling back to dense.
- _has_meta_tensors uses any(chain(...)) (no intermediate lists).
- prequant verify/probe scripts use repo-relative paths (+ env overrides), not the
author's absolute /mnt paths.
- tests: allowlist-dir opt-in, outside-allowlist refusal, min_features mismatch, fork tail.
