Consolidate provider-specific category mapping into resolve_model_category(),
shared JSON request handling into execute_provider_json_request(), sidecar
path resolution into get_or_build_model_sidecar_info(), and progress
reporting into ProgressTracker. Update civitai/civarchive/common sources to
use the unified helpers. Add tests for the new utilities. Remove redundant
frontend wrapper methods from render_format_methods.js.
This change introduces a complete Local Metadata Builder feature in the resolver
options panel. It allows users to scan local model files, create or update
.metadata.json sidecars, fill missing SHA256 hashes from safetensors headers or
file hashing, and review run history with cancel/error handling.
Changes include:
- backend API: /model_resolver/metadata-build/{capabilities,start,progress/{id},cancel}
- backend worker: core/metadata_builder.py with parallel metadata generation
- frontend section: Local Metadata Builder tab in Options
- frontend polling UI: progress, worker breakdown, history table, status/notifications
