On an AutoDL server civitai.com timed out while civitai.red, Civitai's
other address with the same API, answered in about a second, so scans
there fell back to guessing from the files.
civitai_client.api_hosts gives both addresses, the one that answered
last first; the scan's lookups, import's and Model Check's
(download_sources._civitai_json) and the network test ask the other one
when the first does not answer at all. An HTTP error is Civitai's own
answer and is not asked again. The test answers which host answered,
and Settings says so when it was civitai.red.
The pictures stay on image.civitai.com, which such networks often cannot
reach either: after COVERS_DOWN_AFTER (2) covers in a row that would not
download, a scan fetches no more covers instead of waiting on each.

New users did not know to scan first. Until anything is scanned, Home shows a card with four
steps and "Set up for me": GET /anomalous/civitai_check (api/network_check.py, local requests
only) says whether Civitai answers and whether a set key is refused; when it does not, the card
offers Retry (with a proxy) or an offline scan. The scan never renames files or refetches,
whatever the scan page was set to; the card follows its progress. Never a popup; "Later" hides it
per browser and Home's "New here?" line brings it back.
