+#### Metadata popup
+
+Single-clicking any `.safetensors` file opens a floating info panel to the right of the browser. It reads the file's embedded header without loading the full model into memory and displays four tabs:
+
+| Tab | Contents |
+|---|---|
+| **Overview** | File size, last modified, base model version, LoRA rank (dim), alpha, effective scale (alpha ÷ dim) |
+| **Training** | Step count, epochs, number of training images, resolution, UNet and text-encoder learning rates |
+| **Tags** | Top trigger tags extracted from `ss_tag_frequency`, sorted by frequency and shown as chips |
+| **About** | Title, author, license, and training notes / trigger-word hints left by the creator |
+
+Files without embedded metadata (non-safetensors formats, or safetensors files that omit `__metadata__`) still show filesystem info in the Overview tab; the remaining tabs display a "No embedded metadata" message.
+
+The popup closes when you click a folder, confirm a selection, or close the browser.
+
 After confirming, the selected path is shown in the **selected_path** display on the node canvas.
