This patch makes the primary TUI report multimodal capability separately from loaded backend readiness and clearly reuses cached model artifacts instead of presenting every switch as a new download.

Highlights:

  • Qwen and Gemma show vision on-demand before their projectors are loaded.
  • Vision ready requires an exact healthy model, context, and verified projector match.
  • First image use prepares the projector automatically; exact model and projector caches are reused.
  • Model selection separates base-model cache state from lazy projector state.
  • Vision fact replies no longer intercept implementation, debugging, analysis, or test requests.
  • Production-shaped regressions cover stopped, stale, mismatched, ready, unsupported, unselected, and cache-hit paths.

An exact cache hit does not download the model again, although SHA-256 verification of a multi-gigabyte artifact can still take time.

GitHub Releases remains the only supported binary distribution channel.
