Fold PR #6872's image-generation fixes into the branch, deduped against the
round-12 dataset-upload and gallery integrity work already on image-generation.
Fixes carried forward from #6872:
- fp8 single-file transformer memory estimate: an fp8 checkpoint loads with no
quantization_config and diffusers upcasts it to bf16 (~2x resident), so budget
it accordingly in _plan_memory and estimate_safetensors_dense_mib.
- dense-quant OOM-evict preflight: when the GGUF fits resident but the dense bf16
transformer this path materializes does not, skip the fast path up front rather
than evict the current pipeline and OOM in finalization. Combined with the
existing offload->resident candidate re-plan so both the family-table estimate
and the on-disk shard measurement gate engagement (unified on the
transformer_resident_override_mib plan override).
- ControlNet: evict the previous module and its from_pipe wrapper before loading a
new one so swapping ControlNets within a base-model load cannot accumulate to OOM.
- ControlNet union_control_mode: raise on an unknown control type instead of
silently defaulting to canny.
- edit-family mask rejection: raise instead of silently dropping a mask on an
image-editing model that has no inpaint pipeline.
- companion cache: walk the snapshot dir and exclude transformer/ so the
dense-quant prefetch's cached shards do not inflate the companion total and
wrongly force offload.
- training: drop piecewise_constant from the LR scheduler enum and force bf16 for
fp16-incompatible families.
- dataset upload: batch-atomic staging with the same-stem duplicate guard.
- images page: guard negative-prompt restore on guidance>0, clear stale ControlNet
selection on restore, and revert an optimistic quant label when a pipeline load
never starts.
- uninstall (sh + ps1): keep the owner-marker guard on sd.cpp removal.
Conflicts resolved in favour of image-generation's evolved memory system,
loadSpecFor catalog, and stop-and-save (lora_path) run detection; #6872's fp8 and
dense-preflight fixes carried forward on top. All affected backend tests pass
(test_diffusion_backend, test_diffusion_training, test_diffusion_lora_trainer,
test_video_gallery, test_diffusion_controlnet).
