A gallery entry may carry `variants:`, alternative builds of the same model. Selection already worked at install time, but nothing could see what an entry offered or ask for a specific build, so the feature was undrivable. Listing: `GET /api/models` now reports `variants` and `auto_variant` for the entries that declare variants. Each variant carries its resolved backend, its measured size and whether it fits this host. `auto_variant` is what installing without a choice would pick right now. The new gallery.DescribeVariants runs the same variantOptions + SelectVariant pass the installer runs, so the reported default cannot drift from what installing actually does, and HostResolveEnv is extracted so both derive the host and share pkg/vram's probe cache from one place. Performance: an entry that declares no variants returns early without touching the probe, so the ~1280 ordinary entries cost exactly what they cost before. Selection: `variant` is accepted on POST /models/apply, as a query param on POST /api/models/install/:id, on the gallery apply file/string request, as `local-ai models install --variant`, and as a parameter on the install_model MCP tool (both the httpapi and inproc clients). Empty means auto-select. An unknown variant name now fails the install naming what was requested. This closes a real hole: an entry declaring no variants short-circuits before selection runs, so a requested variant was previously dropped silently and the install reported success. startup.InstallModels ends in a variadic model list, so install options could not be appended to it; InstallModelsWithOptions is added alongside and InstallModels delegates to it. No caller signature changed. Assisted-by: Claude:claude-opus-4-8 Signed-off-by: Ettore Di Giacinto <mudler@localai.io>
