Variant description probes each referenced entry's weight files over the network: an HTTP HEAD plus a ranged GET, serial, five seconds per probe with no aggregate deadline. Running it inline in GET /api/models made one listing cost (entries x variants) round trips. The Manage page fetches with items=9999, so at 200 declaring entries that is ~1000 serial probes, minutes of a blocked handler and gigabytes of range traffic for a single page load. Only one entry declares variants today, but the feature exists so that many will. Follow the precedent already set for VRAM estimates. The listing now reports only has_variants, a length check on loaded metadata that touches nothing, and GET /api/models/variants/:id returns the description for one entry, mirroring estimate/:id in route shape, auth and error handling. DescribeVariants itself is unchanged; only its caller moved. The picker fetches lazily at the two points where a user asks to see variants, opening the split-button menu and expanding the detail row, and caches per entry for the page session. An entry declaring no variants issues no request at all. A spec counts real HTTP hits on the weight files, so it goes red if description becomes reachable from the listing path again through any caller.
