A model's information now has three layers, the user's first:
<model>.anomalous.json (written only by the model editor), the scan result
(<model>.info, or another tool's .civitai.info with Civitai ids; id -1 =
inferred from the file) and the file itself. get_metadata reads the user
layer last, so it wins (an emptied field stays empty), and reports
info_source (civitai / local / "") and user_fields. Edits saved by earlier
versions in .civitai.info keep working.
- The editor writes .anomalous.json (atomically) instead of mixing edits
into .civitai.info, which other tools rewrite.
- scan_info_path: a .civitai.info holding only old edits is not a scan
result. Editing a never-scanned model used to make scans skip it for good.
- Covers: a cover is Civitai's only while byte-identical to
<model>.civitai_bak.*; any other cover is the user's and is never
replaced. "Fetch again" updates only Civitai's own cover, keeps names,
notes and covers, and asks before starting.
- A scan no longer downloads covers and model pages again for models whose
information is already on disk (it did for every model, every scan).
- The earlier "keep the editor's name" change in the scraper is reverted:
editor names never lived in .info; the CHANGELOG entry is corrected.
- .anomalous.json moves and goes to the Recycle Bin with its model.
