Model selection:
- Add sdxl_offload tier (eff_vram ≥ 4.0 GB) for GTX 1060 6GB and Quadro
6GB cards that were falling through to SD 2.1 despite SDXL fitting with
model_cpu_offload. Cards with 5.3 GB effective VRAM now get SDXL quality.
- Update _tier_label(), _caps(), _build_warnings() for new tier.
Frontend GPU display:
- api.js: add getGpuStatus() fetching /api/gpu/status
- capabilities.js: add getGpuStatus() export with own LRU cache;
refreshCapabilities() now also resets GPU status cache
- provider-badge.js: when AI_PROVIDER=local_gpu show green badge with
GPU name, tier, VRAM, CC, feature flags, and capabilities in tooltip.
Strip "NVIDIA GeForce" prefix so "GTX 1060 6GB" fits in badge.
- ai_provider_settings.js: add local_gpu to all provider dropdowns;
show GPU info panel (device, VRAM, CC, features, tier, model table per
operation) in the settings dialog when a GPU is detected.
