Daniel Han-Chen 6089720c0c Fix/adjust diffusion: export unload + sd3.5 alias for PR #5754
- routes/export.py load_checkpoint now unloads the diffusion
  pipeline alongside the existing inference + training unloads, so
  an export load after Images does not OOM the export subprocess.
- Remove the 'sd3.5' alias from the stable-diffusion-3 family.
  SD3.5 needs its own family + base_repo (and its own smoke test);
  pairing it with the SD3 Medium base produced a misleading load.

"""Diffusion image generation backend.
Loads Hugging Face diffusion checkpoints in either the standard
``diffusers`` layout or the single-file GGUF layout published under
``unsloth/*-GGUF`` (Flux 2, Flux 2 Klein, Qwen-Image, SD3, SDXL, ...).
GGUF files are dynamically dequantised on-device via
``diffusers.GGUFQuantizationConfig``, then the rest of the pipeline
(VAE, text encoders, scheduler) is pulled from the matching ``diffusers``
repo so end users only ever need one local file plus the metadata repo.
The module is intentionally torch-only: it never spawns a subprocess and
shares the active CUDA / MPS device with the rest of Studio. The cost of
not having a separate process is that loading a diffusion model and a
GGUF chat model at the same time can OOM on consumer GPUs; the routes
layer must therefore swap between the two as needed (the orchestrator
unloads llama-server before any diffusion load on hosts with < 24 GB).
The class deliberately exposes a small, llama-cpp-style surface:
load_model(repo_id, ...)
generate_image(prompt, ...) -> PIL.Image
unload_model()
status() -> dict
so the route layer at ``studio/backend/routes/inference.py`` can mirror
the existing llama-server lifecycle (probe + load + generate + unload)
without learning a second API.
