- Models page: "+ Import" chip and model files dropped on the grid open an import
window. model_kind.py tells a file's type (LoRA, checkpoint, VAE, text encoder,
diffusion model, ControlNet, embedding, CLIP Vision, upscaler) and base model from
its safetensors / GGUF header only; .ckpt/.pt are never opened. api/model_import.py
finds the dropped file in Downloads/Desktop (name, size, time) and moves it, or
takes an upload; checks it against Civitai and the scanned models; never replaces
a file (" (2)"). New files are scanned after.
- Model cards show the Civitai version name (metadata version_name).
- Settings page in tabs (Look, Models, Workflows, Prompts, Backup, Help); the
download folder is a choice of ready-made folders or typed by hand; default is now
by base model ({base}).
- The scanner's offline base model uses model_kind (LoRAs, Qwen, Wan, Chroma...).
- AD-019: no Civitai browser inside the plugin.

- Downloads: with the China mirror on, a Civitai match whose very file (same
SHA-256) is on Hugging Face too, by the workflow's link or ComfyUI-Manager's
list, is fetched from Hugging Face; Civitai's name, base model and page stay.
- A file downloaded from Hugging Face gets its model card's first example
image as cover and its base model, trigger words and example prompts as
notes, with the repository as link (api/hf_card.py), never over what the
user or a scan set.
- Text encoders, CLIP vision and upscalers are shown (and scanned) by
default, so shared workflows carry their fingerprints; older configs get
them turned on once (folder_defaults_version 2).
- The models page's search sits in the header (ui_model_search.js) instead
of inside the folder list; it searches the whole type by name, file name,
folder, trigger words, base model and notes, every word; Esc clears it.

Models not on Civitai (Flux's VAE, T5 / CLIP text encoders, upscalers,
ControlNets...) are looked up by file name in the model-list.json of the
ComfyUI-Manager installed here (api/manager_catalog.py), keeping entries
that fit the node's folder type. With the workflow's fingerprint only the
listed file with that SHA-256 counts (same-name entries are each asked);
without one, a single entry is offered as "Download by name" with a
warning, never in Download all or the MCP's download_missing_models.
A site that stops answering is skipped for the rest of a lookup while the
others are still asked, so Civitai failing in mainland China no longer
stops Hugging Face through its mirror. GitHub raw file links count as
sources; a Hugging Face file behind a login offers its repository page.

Settings > Model downloads can send Hugging Face downloads through
hf-mirror.com, on by default for the Chinese interface. The lookup and the
download use the chosen host whichever one the link names; when the mirror
sends a network outside China back to huggingface.co, the lookup follows
once for the size and SHA-256. A failed download from Hugging Face itself
suggests the mirror.

Model Check offers Download (and Download all) for a missing model whose
source names one exact file: Civitai by the workflow's fingerprint, or a
Civitai version / Hugging Face / GitHub file link the workflow carries.
A dialog shows each file's size, source and full destination, with the
models folder (when there are several) and subfolder changeable; Settings
> Model downloads sets the default: where the workflow says (the node
needs no change) or a set folder, {base} sorting by base model and
matching an existing folder in any spelling.
Downloads run one at a time into <file>.part, continue after an
interruption, are checked against the SHA-256 before they get their name,
never replace a file, and send the Civitai key to Civitai only. Finished
files are put into their nodes (one Ctrl+Z step each), scanned for info
and covers, and recorded in the activity log.
A change of fingerprints alone (after any scan) no longer takes a Ctrl+Z
step that seemed to do nothing.
