- Merge GET and POST aria2 status handlers into one route
- Remove redundant calculate_file_sha256 wrapper and use path_utils directly
- Remove redundant _normalize_archive_image, _normalize_filename, and _similarity wrappers
- Replace urllib with requests for remote JSON fetching in model_list
- Update metadata timestamps
Add backend endpoints (/model_linker/model-list/status, /model_linker/model-list/update)
that let users check whether their bundled ComfyUI-Manager model-list.json is current
and download the latest version from GitHub, with SHA tracking and cache invalidation.
Add corresponding UI in the Options dialog under a new 'Local Database' section
with status display, remote check, and update controls.
