- py/model_gate.py: one process-wide, non-blocking gate for loading,
swapping, running, downloading and unloading a tagging model. Worker
calls run shielded; a release requested while one still runs takes
effect only when it exits (client disconnect keeps the gate).
- Legacy /autotag/single, /start, /download/{type} and /unload hold the
gate and answer 409 {code: "model-busy"} while another operation holds
it; their bodies are otherwise unchanged. /autotag/models gains
suggestion_limit.
- AutoTagService.generate_tag_suggestions: WD14 (name, probability) best
first, GGUF/HF (name, None) in output order, first `limit` distinct
case-insensitively; generate_tags keeps its return; the image file is
closed before inference returns.
- POST /prompt_manager/image-annotations/suggest runs one engine on the
pinned capture, with strict per-engine options, never downloads
(409 model-unavailable) and never writes.
- config.json autotag.defaults.suggestion_limit, integer 1..100, default
10, validated on load.
- Capture probe decides Generate from the image header alone, so prompt
metadata over the inspection budgets no longer blocks it.
