A model on a switched-off drive lost its creator and license icons in the
modal even though "search by creator" found it: the list payload is
trimmed to id/modelId/name/trainedWords, and the only full-payload source
was the .metadata.json next to the model file.
- carry `creator` in the lightweight list payload so the card/modal
fallback keeps who published the model;
- add a cache fallback to GET /api/lm/{type}/metadata: when the sidecar
cannot be read (offline drive, unmounted share, missing/corrupt file),
rebuild the CivitAI payload from the cache entry and decode
`license_flags` back into the permission fields the icons render from.
The response reports `partial` and `offline` so callers can explain the
degradation instead of silently dropping fields;
- skip the stat() for paths outside every live root in alongside storage
so a dead share cannot stall the modal; centralized storage still reads
the real sidecar and serves the full payload while the drive is off;
- merge the fetched payload into the list data instead of replacing it
(a partial response must never drop cached fields), and show an
offline/partial notice plus a description-tab explanation.
