Codex review on #1124:
- P1: mirror layout root component is now <basename>-<roothash>
(sha256 of the normalized root path), so two roots sharing a basename
no longer map to the same mirror directory and overwrite each other's
sidecars
- P1: changing sidecar_storage_path while centralized no longer strands
assets in the old root — new relocate_root migration direction moves
the whole mirror tree, rewrites preview_url prefixes inside sidecars,
reconciles scanner caches, and prunes the emptied old tree; the
settings UI detects the path change and offers the relocation
- P2: migration enumerates the same preview candidates as
find_preview_file — case-insensitive variants (model.WEBP) and the
legacy .example.0.jpeg suffix — instead of exact lowercase
PREVIEW_EXTENSIONS only
- P2: _rollback_model_staging restores staged files with the
EXDEV-tolerant mover, so a failed undoable-delete staging no longer
strands a cross-filesystem centralized sidecar copy
Tests: same-basename root injectivity, mixed-case/example preview
migration, relocate_root happy path + guards + route 400, frontend
relocation prompt flow. Verified end-to-end in a sandboxed standalone
server: uppercase/legacy previews migrate, root relocation moves the
tree and the list API serves the new locations immediately without a
rescan.
Add an opt-in 'centralized' sidecar storage mode alongside the default
'alongside' layout. In centralized mode, .metadata.json sidecars and
preview assets live under a configurable root (sidecar_storage_path,
default <settings_dir>/sidecars), mirroring the library-relative
directory structure: <root>/<library>/<root_basename>/<rel_dir>/.
Backend:
- settings: sidecar_storage_mode / sidecar_storage_path with validation;
changing either refreshes the preview allowlist
- config: centralized root added to preview-serving allowlist
- lifecycle: delete / move / rename / folder-rename / folder-delete and
undoable-delete staging all operate on the mirror tree in centralized
mode (model files themselves never move); EXDEV-tolerant cross-
filesystem moves
- scanners: pending-hash filesystem scan walks the mirror tree in
centralized mode; preview discovery reads from the sidecar dir;
.civitai.info stays co-located in both modes
- migration: SidecarMigrationUseCase moves sidecars+previews between
layouts both directions (keep-newer conflict resolution, preview_url
rewriting, WebSocket progress), exposed as POST+GET
/api/lm/sidecars/migrate with a mode guard (force=true for the
settings-first flow)
Frontend:
- settings modal: sidecar storage section (mode select + path input with
browse/validation), mode-change confirmation offering immediate
migration (force=true), and a 'Migrate Sidecars Now' action
- i18n keys synced to all locales ([TODO: Translate] placeholders)
Docs: metadata-json-schema.md gains a storage-location section;
AGENTS.md records the sidecar_paths helper convention.
Move download path templates, priority tags, and auto-organize
exclusions out of the Library settings section into a dedicated
Organization section, so Library keeps location-focused settings
(roots, extra paths, example images, metadata) and Organization holds
file-arrangement rules. Translated settings.nav.organization for all
locales.
DEFAULT_ENABLED_OTHER_SUB_TYPES managed vae, upscaler, text_encoder and
clip_vision while controlnet was the sole opt-in type. That split was not
defensible on demand breadth: ControlNet is the broader category by install
base, and clip_vision is the narrower one (IPAdapter/SVD image conditioning,
usually one to three files) whose CivitAI type is retired upstream.
Keep the default set to the dependency-style assets every pipeline needs and
where "which one am I actually using" is the real problem - VAE, upscalers
and text encoders - and treat clip_vision and controlnet symmetrically as
opt-in. The feature is still unreleased, so the change needs no migration.
- Sync all five surfaces holding a default: DEFAULT_ENABLED_OTHER_SUB_TYPES,
DEFAULT_SETTINGS, both DEFAULT_SETTINGS_BASE/createDefaultSettings lists,
updateOtherModelsControls()'s fallback and the Jinja fallback.
- The selection is persisted per user, so only the untouched default moves;
existing default_other_roots entries for a disabled sub_type are preserved.
- Fix the Jinja fallback using `or`, which treated an all-unchecked empty
allow-list as "unset" and re-checked every box on render; `is none` keeps
the empty list empty.
- Document the revised defaults and rationale in the plan.
Tests assert the new default trio, the normalize fallback, that both opt-in
types stay out of the default scan, and the auto-set iteration test now
enables clip_vision explicitly since it exercises the loop, not the default.
- The Other nav entry is hidden while the feature is off
(nav-item--hidden, toggled client-side after enabling) and now uses the
fa-shapes icon.
- Shared utils/otherModels.js helpers (enable through the settings API,
open the settings Library section) are reused by the disabled page, the
announcement banner and the download modal.
- BannerService registers a one-time dismissible "other-models-announcement"
banner while the feature is off; SettingsManager drops the banner and
updates the nav when the master switch flips.
- A disabled download routing answer now surfaces a showActionToast with an
"Enable Other Models" action.
- Settings UI: master toggle + five sub_type checkboxes whose default-root
selects are disabled when unchecked; i18n keys added to en.json and synced
(other locales keep TODO placeholders).
