- Apply same 404 fallback strategy to deferred I2V model loading
- Try DiffusionPipeline as fallback when model_index.json not found
- Ensures all model loading paths have consistent error handling

Model Loading Fixes:
- Add fallback loading when model_index.json returns 404
- Try alternative paths (diffusers/, diffusion_model/, pipeline/)
- Try generic DiffusionPipeline as fallback
- Check HuggingFace API for actual file structure
- Load from subdirectories if model_index.json found there
- Apply same fallback to I2V image model loading

Time Estimation Improvements:

- Detect GPU tier (extreme/high/medium/low/very_low)
- Calculate realistic time estimates based on GPU performance
- Account for VRAM constraints and offloading penalty
- Consider distributed/multi-GPU setups
- More accurate model loading times (minutes, not seconds)
- Account for resolution impact (quadratic relationship)
- Add 20% overhead for memory management
- Print hardware info for transparency

GPU Tier Performance Multipliers:
- Extreme (RTX 4090, A100, H100): 1.0x
- High (RTX 4080, RTX 3090, V100): 1.5x
- Medium (RTX 4070, RTX 3080, T4): 2.5x
- Low (RTX 3060, RTX 2070): 4.0x

- When --update-models detects a LoRA adapter, validate that the base
  model exists on HuggingFace before adding it to the model list
- Skip LoRAs whose base models are not found on HuggingFace
- Added support for flux and sdxl base model detection
- Print informative messages when skipping LoRAs with missing base models

PEFT (Parameter-Efficient Fine-Tuning) is required for loading LoRA
adapters with pipe.load_lora_weights(). Without it, LoRA loading fails
with: 'PEFT backend is required for this method.'

- Add update_model_pipeline_class() function to update model config
- Call function when main model pipeline mismatch is corrected
- Call function when image model pipeline mismatch is corrected
- Ensures future runs use the correct pipeline class automatically

When defer_i2v_loading=True (I2V mode without provided image), the code
sets pipe=None but then tried to call pipe.load_lora_weights() and
pipe.enable_model_cpu_offload() on None, causing AttributeError.

This fix wraps the LoRA loading and offloading configuration blocks
inside an 'if not defer_i2v_loading:' condition so they are skipped
when the I2V model loading is deferred until after image generation.

- Defer I2V model loading when in I2V mode without provided image
- Generate image first with T2I model
- Unload T2I model completely (del, empty_cache, gc.collect)
- Then load I2V model and generate video
- This ensures only one model is in memory at a time
- Fixes Linux OOM killer issue when loading multiple models

- Add auto_disable.json to track failure counts and disabled status
- Models that fail 3 times in auto mode are automatically disabled
- Disabled models are skipped during auto model selection
- Manual selection of a disabled model re-enables it for auto mode
- Model list now shows 'Auto' column with status (Yes, OFF, or X/3)
- Disabled models shown with 🚫 indicator in model list
- New functions: load_auto_disable_data(), save_auto_disable_data(),
  record_model_failure(), is_model_disabled(), re_enable_model(),
  get_model_fail_count()

- Detect LoRA adapters from tags (lora, LoRA) and files (*.safetensors)
- Extract base model from tags (format: base_model:org/model-name)
- Skip model_index.json fetch for LoRA-only repos
- Determine pipeline class from base model for LoRA adapters
- Improves handling of models like enhanceaiteam/Flux-Uncensored-V2

- Replace locals().get('goto_after_loading', False) with properly initialized boolean flag
- The locals() approach failed because locals() returns a copy, not a reference
- Now the fallback correctly skips error handling when pipeline loads successfully via detected class
