Standalone users previously had to hand-edit settings.json to configure
primary folder_paths. Add a standalone-only Model Paths section to the
settings modal:
- Backend exposes standalone_mode, folder_paths (with template placeholder
values filtered out) and a data-driven folder_path_schema derived from
OTHER_MODEL_FOLDER_SUBTYPES via GET /api/lm/settings
- The new section renders multi-path editors per model type from the
schema, with inline enable_other_models / sub-type controls so other
model types are configured without leaving the tab
- Persistent restart-required cues after a save: nav dot, inline notice
and a global banner (unique id per change so dismissals don't mute
future reminders)
- The missing-model-paths startup banner and the Other Models no-paths
empty state now deep-link into the new section instead of pointing at
settings.json
Add LORA_MANAGER_SETTINGS_DIR env var and standalone --settings-path to pin
the settings location (settings.json, cache/, wildcards/, backups/, logs/,
stats/) to an arbitrary directory. The override takes precedence over
portable mode and the platform user config dir, and skips legacy migration,
so sandboxed dev/E2E runs no longer need to write settings.json in the repo
root or collide with the real instance.
standalone.py pre-scans argv for --settings-path at import time because the
settings location is resolved before main() parses arguments. SettingsManager
portable-switch migration is a no-op while the directory is pinned.
Update the lora-manager-e2e skill (prefer --settings-path sandboxing;
start_server.py passes it through) and the lora-manager-runtime-context
skill (document precedence; inspect script honors the override).
Fix ~790 basedpyright errors across the test suite:
- Type stub subclasses of real production classes with super().__init__()
- Add missing generic type arguments and Dict[str, Any] annotations
- Add None guards before subscript/member access
- Adapt tests to production API changes (removed dead handlers,
PersistentModelCache.get_default, _i18n_filter_added location)
- Add standalone mode detection via LORA_MANAGER_STANDALONE environment variable
- Improve error handling for settings file loading with specific JSON decode errors
- Add startup messages system to communicate configuration warnings and errors to users
- Include settings file path and startup messages in settings API response
- Automatically save settings when bootstrapping from defaults due to missing/invalid settings file
- Add configuration warnings collection for environment variables and other settings issues
The changes improve robustness of settings management and provide better user feedback when configuration issues occur.
