Daniel Han a4277a01e4 Honor memory_mode over legacy cpu_offload and prefetch dense-quant transformer shards
plan_diffusion_memory only applies the legacy cpu_offload override when no
memory_mode was supplied, matching the documented API contract that
memory_mode overrides cpu_offload when set; an explicit fast request now
stays resident even if the old flag is also enabled.

The transformer-quant dense path fetches the base repo's transformer/
shards inside the locked finalize phase, where unload and cancellation
cannot preempt the multi-GB download. The load worker now widens the
preemptible prefetch to include those shards when that path can actually
run: quant requested and supported for the device, scheme resolvable, and
no pre-quantized checkpoint shortcutting the dense build.

"""Local diffusion (text-to-image) backend.
A torch-only singleton: it dequantises a single-file GGUF on-device via
``GGUFQuantizationConfig`` and pulls the rest of the pipeline (VAE, text
encoders, scheduler) from the matching base repo. torch/diffusers are imported
lazily so this stays importable in a no-torch runtime. ``begin_load`` runs on a
background thread; poll ``load_progress`` for the download bar. GPU-handoff
policy lives in the arbiter the routes call, not here.
