Implements a new download path configuration UI and backend logic:
- Add Subfolder fill mode: Suggested (existing), Template, Manual
- Add Base Model Path Mappings to override detected base-model folders
- Add Default Root settings to control root directory per category
- Add Detect From Existing Folders button that infers templates and mappings from local model folders
- Add backend /model_resolver/root-directories and /model_resolver/path-template-suggestions routes
- Refactor resolver settings into core/settings.py for shared frontend/backend use
- Extract path template inference logic into core/path_templates.py
- Update download panel, context menu, and loading flow to use new path settings
- Add getResolutionQueueKey, getResolutionNodeRefs, and expandPendingResolutionsForApply helpers in queue_methods.js so each queued resolution can carry multiple node refs and be fully resolved before apply.
- Store node_refs, is_lora_v2, original_lora_name, and nested_key on pending resolutions; expand them during apply, with a guard for empty selections.
- Introduce optimistic analysis updates (applyOptimisticAnalysisData + getOptimisticAnalysisDataAfterApply) so the missing/loaded views refresh immediately after apply, then refresh in the background via refreshAnalysisInBackground.
- Update notification messaging to reflect expanded reference counts.
- Fix race conditions in lifecycle_graph_methods.js and tabs_loaded_methods.js by assigning load tokens only after the async workflow-load path begins, so early returns no longer clobber the token and stale panels are suppressed.
- Minor README badge styling fixes: add labelColor=111827 and update the Python badge to an SVG-based asset.
The previous commit introduced server-side persistence for API keys and
preferences via a model_resolver_settings.json file and POST/GET routes.
This change reverts that behavior, returning to localStorage-only storage
for settings, which is simpler and avoids persisting sensitive credentials
to disk. Also removes the now-unnecessary .gitignore entry.
Replace all link dialog terminology with resolver terminology
throughout the codebase, including module names, CSS classes,
IDs, JS variables, SVG gradient IDs, and log module names.
Remove the old web/linker/ tree and introduce the new web/resolver/
tree with parallel structure. Also replace core/linker.py with
core/resolver.py.
