A model not yet loaded on a worker is staged lazily on the inference request path. Staging a multi-GB model takes minutes - far longer than any client keeps its HTTP request open - so a browser refresh, an ingress/LB idle-timeout, or a round-robined retry landing on another frontend replica cancels the request context and aborts the upload with "context canceled" mid-transfer. Large models then never finish staging, so they never load (observed in a 2-replica deployment: both frontends repeatedly failed to stage a 15.7 GB GGUF, each attempt dying at a different offset). Bind the cold load (staging + LoadModel + the per-model advisory lock) to context.WithoutCancel(ctx): it keeps the request's values (prefix chain) but drops cancellation/deadline. Each long step keeps its own bound (the file stager's resume budget, LoadModel's 5m timeout), and the advisory lock still de-dupes concurrent loaders across replicas.
