Daniel Han a9e5a80654 Address the round of Codex review findings on the merged diffusion phases
Memory planning and dense-quant path: size a local diffusers base's
resident companions from its on-disk VAE and text-encoder weights instead
of folding them to zero, feed the distilled variant hint into the runtime
headroom estimate so turbo and schnell models are not over-reserved, place
group-offload companions resident before attaching the transformer hooks
so a failed placement falls back to whole-module offload instead of
crashing, and bail out of the dense transformer download before it starts
when the requested quant scheme is unsupported so the load falls back to
GGUF cleanly.

sd.cpp stack: scrub the native path lease secret from sd-cli child env,
redact native load-progress errors, forward the resolved accelerator when
auto-installing a forced-native binary, release stale diffusion GPU
ownership on CPU-native loads, and remove the sd.cpp install tree on
uninstall.

Prequant and scripts: reject prequant artifacts missing base_model_id
when a base is requested, expanduser before checkpoint existence checks,
record and validate the int8 exclusion filter and fp8 fast-accum in
checkpoint metadata, make verify_prequant_backend allowlist its local
checkpoint and fail on missing or bad LPIPS and on load-peak regressions,
average only finite PSNR values in diffusion_quality, and reset the
process-wide attention backend between perf probe variants.

API and UI: normalize attention_backend casing before Literal validation,
close hidden popovers when leaving the Images page, and clear the stale
quant label when loading a direct local GGUF file.

"""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.
