Importing a model from a local directory (e.g. a HuggingFace checkout or an LM Studio store) via a file:// URI produced a config whose model field kept the scheme verbatim, e.g. model: file:///Users/u/.../Qwen3-4bit. The mlx and vllm backends treat that field as a HuggingFace repo id or local path and reject the file:// form with "Repo id must be in the form 'repo_name' or 'namespace/repo_name'", so the model imported fine but failed to load (issue #7461). Add a shared LocalModelPath helper that reduces a file:// URI to the bare filesystem path it points at and leaves HuggingFace/HTTP URIs untouched, and route the mlx, vllm, transformers and diffusers importers (all of which pass details.URI straight into the model field for from_pretrained-style loading) through it. Cover the helper directly plus end-to-end file:// import specs for the mlx and vllm importers.
