### ⚙️ System Architecture
This Space is a specialized, on-demand inference engine designed to run Waveshaker's character LoRAs on ZeroGPU. To overcome Hugging Face's cross-space CORS restrictions and ZeroGPU's billing constraints, I use a **decoupled "Proxy-Driven" architecture** with a blazing-fast native frontend.
#### 🏗️ System Topology
| Layer | Core Components | Role & Responsibility |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| **🖥️ Client** | • Native HTML/JS
• REST API Calls | Authenticates users, provides a native UI, and submits generation parameters via a lightweight HTTP payload. |
| **🧠 Proxy & Scheduler Layer**
(FastAPI + Gradio) | • **Dummy Probe**
• **ContextVar**
• **Singleton Executor**
• Threading Lock (`_exec_lock`) | Bypasses the ZeroGPU scanner, passes the `x-ip-token` accurately, serializes incoming tasks, and enforces hard boundary limits (1536px). |
| **⚡ Execution Layer**
(ZeroGPU + ComfyUI) | • **Binary Tensor Fast-Path**
• **RAM_PRESSURE Cache**
• **WebP + EXIF Injection** | Executes the pipeline using custom zero-copy tensor loading. Relies entirely on ComfyUI's native LRU cache for multi-model hot-swapping without OOM. |

#### 📝 One-Sentence Summary
> A decoupled "Proxy-Driven" architecture: a native frontend passes LoRA parameters via URL, while a Gradio proxy bypasses cross-space CORS and ZeroGPU billing constraints. It serves generated images as physical WebP URLs with custom-injected ComfyUI EXIF metadata, delivering accurate billing.
#### 📜 Architecture Evolution
- **v0.1 (The FastAPI Initiation)**: The initial dual-track setup. FastAPI handled data routing, while Gradio rendered the UI. Due to cross-space CORS restrictions and a lack of `x-ip-token` handling, the frontend fell into the ZeroGPU anonymous pool.
- **v0.2 (The Gradio-Injection Era)**: A modular reconstruction (`core/`, `frontend/`, `ui/`). Introduced the `task_runner` for precise background scheduling and logging. To retain ZeroGPU billing, I hid Gradio components and injected native HTML/CSS/JS via Python. This successfully kept the GPU quota but introduced frontend performance bottlenecks and UI state sync issues.
- **v0.3 (The Decoupled Proxy UI)**: A new refactor. A 100% native static web UI is decoupled from the FastAPI backend. I implemented a dummy Gradio probe to trick the ZeroGPU scanner and used `ContextVar` to perfectly pass through the `x-ip-token`. Featuring a dual-Space sync mechanism (`frontend_cache`), it delivers faster loading,accurate ZeroGPU billing, and a pure native frontend experience.
- **v0.4 (The Performance Hardened Era)**: A brutal optimization phase to eliminate the 50s+ cold-start latency and multi-model memory leaks under ZeroGPU.
- **Binary Tensor Fast-Path**: Bypassed ComfyUI's native slow loading path by intercepting `load_torch_file` and implementing `numpy` zero-copy for large INT8/ConvRot tensors.
- **Lazy Execution & Native Cache**: Removed aggressive `empty_cache` and manual GC interventions. Relied entirely on ComfyUI's native `RAM_PRESSURE` (LRU 8, 16GB RAM limit) to orchestrate multi-model hot-swapping smoothly.
- **Queue-Aware Billing**: Adjusted `@spaces.GPU(duration=40)` to gracefully handle ZeroGPU queueing spikes during consecutive architecture switching.
- **Safety Boundaries**: Enforced hard pixel and edge limits (1536px) at both frontend and FastAPI levels to prevent OOM and timeout kills.
- **Result**: Cold-start load time dropped from ~24s to **~6.5s**. Cross-architecture hot-swapping (e.g., Flux 1536 → MOSS 1536) stabilized under **15s total**, completely eliminating the "ghost 35s" timeouts.
