Backend:
- local_diffusion.py: add _make_step_cb() that writes step/total_steps/
progress into _states on every diffusers callback_on_step_end; wired into
txt2img, inpaint, img2img with TypeError fallback for older diffusers
- ai_tools.py: GET /api/generate/progress SSE endpoint — streams _states
as JSON array every 200ms so clients get live denoising step counts
Frontend:
- progress_overlay.js: add connectProgressSSE(pipeType, baseUrl) /
disconnectProgressSSE() — opens EventSource, maps step/total_steps
to bar percentage (0→85% during denoising, 85→100 for decode/place)
- text_to_image.js: connect SSE before POST, disconnect on done/error
- selection_actions.js: connect SSE for AI edit / asymmetry operations
Result: for local GPU, progress bar shows "Step 12 / 30" with exact fill;
for remote providers and upscale (no step callbacks), shimmer animates.
