🐛 Fixes

• --base-model <alias> with no --model crashed with an error blaming the vae: from_name returned a differently shaped config depending on which keyword named the model, handing back model_name=None through the base_model keyword; every FLUX initializer read that None as the weights path and the failure surfaced as No root_path and no download_url for component: vae on a fully cached repository. The alias now resolves to its own table entry, so both keywords yield the same config shape, and the loader reports a missing root path once, up front, as the whole-model condition it is (components satisfied by direct download URLs or per-component path overrides are exempt). Field-reported with the full diagnosis; regression tests cover every base alias in AVAILABLE_MODELS. Offered upstream as #501. (#46)
• ComfyUI-format LoRAs (tensors named lora_A/lora_B with no trailing .weight) matched nothing in every family except FLUX.1: matching is exact string equality and every suffix pattern outside flux ends in .weight, so a correct adapter died with "No LoRA layers were applied". The matcher now accepts the bare spelling for every .weight pattern centrally, closing the gap in flux2, qwen, z-image, ernie, ideogram4 and krea2 at once, and the zero-match error names the key endings it saw against what the mapping expects, so a naming-format mismatch (or a file of full-weight .diff deltas) reads as what it is. Field-reported with a working patch and a fixed-seed A/B; the fix lands one level below the patch. Offered upstream as #505. (#49)
• mflux-capabilities hardening from the late review round: a mapping default whose keys collide when stringified now raises instead of publishing an incomplete record, and the conditional/mapping regression tests pin more of the contract. (#47)
