Phase 1 of #1045 (optional centralized sidecar storage): introduce
py/utils/sidecar_paths.py as the single place that resolves .metadata.json
and preview locations, and replace all inline splitext-based derivations
across scanners, services, download manager, and route handlers.
No behavior change: the default 'alongside' storage mode resolves every
path exactly as before. .civitai.info (third-party sidecar) derivation is
intentionally left co-located.
_Previous_ _find_scanner_for_model and identify_model_type contained ~25 lines
of identical scanner-iteration + path-matching logic. Factor it into
_find_model_entry() so a new scanner type or edge-case fix can't drift apart.
- Rename py/agent_cli/ -> py/metadata_ops/ (module was never agent-related)
- Rename tests/agent_cli/ -> tests/metadata_ops/
- Remove 9 low-value/debug INFO log points across agent_handlers.py,
agent_service.py, llm_service.py, and metadata_ops/__init__.py
- Keep LLM raw response at DEBUG level for diagnostics
- Consolidate per-model progress + LLM result into single concise
log line with basename instead of full path
- Update package/class/method docstrings to clarify this is a
pipeline infrastructure, not a true agent loop
